Tonight,

on Beyond Skinwalker Ranch.

This is a new opportunity for us to figure out

what Bigelow was doing here.

This is like an entrance to an underground vault.

This is completely unexpected.

We got to go down.

Dig.

Now, it's gonna get interesting.

It's gonna snap back.

Yeah.

What in the hell?

- Whoa. - Whoa!

God.

No!

This room here, Mr. Bigelow had an encounter

with what he called a shaman.

Whoa!

What was that?

For years,

scientists have been working to reveal the secrets

of Skinwalker Ranch.

But is it possible that the clues

to unlock the mystery are located

beyond the borders of this hub of high strangeness?

Wow.

Now, an ex-CIA agent

and a veteran journalist have been recruited

by the Skinwalker team to go on a high-stakes mission

across America.

Look at all this activity that's happening.

That's unbelievable.

That is right over our heads.

That's it! That's it right there!

The goal... uncover evidence that

may finally expose the truth.

How is this happening?

Now, it's gonna get interesting.

- Look, it's moving! - Look at that.

- Whoa! - Look at that!

This is just the beginning.

Guys, one of the hotspots you investigated

that yielded some incredible results in phase

1 of the investigation was Mount Wilson, which happened

to be owned by Robert Bigelow...

my predecessor here at Skinwalker Ranch.

In fact, we all know that Robert Bigelow, the elusive Las Vegas

billionaire and now space entrepreneur,

owned both Skinwalker Ranch and Mount Wilson at the same time.

I was frankly very surprised by the incredible results

that you were able to get in your initial exploration

of that property.

And I think of all the properties, that is one that I

wanted to go back and revisit.

We couldn't agree more.

First of all, there's fascinating history there,

you know, connection between Mount Wilson and Skinwalker.

But we really got shut down.

I mean, we still had a lot of work underway

when the weather just slammed the door on it.

You had a blizzard hit you, basically, right?

Absolutely.

In their previous trip

to Mount Wilson Ranch, which is located just 80 miles away

from Area 51, Andy and Paul investigated reports

that Robert Bigelow and his team of scientists

were investigating an alien spacecraft

buried beneath the ranch.

So you have Bigelow's researchers following

up with you because they believe there might

be some sort of alien craft buried

in a meadow on this property.

Apparently, down in the meadow,

there's something that emits a signal.

A lot of history in the ground around here.

Magnetometer

readings in the Lower Meadow confirm

the presence of an unnatural object below ground.

I am blown away because Robert Bigelow was

digging here, trying to find some sort of unexplainable

energy source under the ground.

And now, we actually have evidence that

shows there is something there.

Andy and Paul also investigated

two possible mine entrances they believed

were openings to a tunnel system leading to the Lower Meadow.

A survey revealed an opening under the mines.

It's a huge magnetic disturbance

that's typically going to be indicative of a void.

The team tried

to access the mine entrances.

Fire in the hole!

But they

failed after a heavy snowstorm stopped

them from going any further.

We come out here to our two best opportunities

to get underground and we've been able to get close,

but not close enough to get in.

From our first investigation there, we

have a number of really powerful data points

that give us an idea of where we want

to focus on this next visit.

Are there any other aspects that you're

planning on concentrating on?

We've actually had a fortuitous series

of events recently that make this the perfect time

to go back to Mount Wilson.

First, the ranch owner, Jeff MacBurnie,

reached out to us to let us know that crazy storm that forced us

off the ranch has actually created what looks

like some sort of sinkhole that may be an access

point to an underground network of tunnels that we suspected

was there.

So this is something that emerged after your visit there?

Yeah.

One thing that Jeff, the owner, has told us,

there is evidence that this was in use for some purpose.

Really?

So whether this is part

of some kind of further underground structure

that Bigelow was working on, we really have no idea.

Yeah, we're excited to, kind of,

unearth what it is that the Bigelow team found there

and what they may have left behind when they left.

I'll wager it's worth every minute of time

you're going to spend there.

And then some.

I'm pumped.

I love it.

There's definitely some connection

between Mount Wilson and Skinwalker Ranch

that we have yet to fully understand.

I am so excited to be going

back to Mount Wilson, man.

Yeah, and just look at the difference between...

[chuckles]... when we... when we left in the winter and now.

I mean, we... the last time we were here,

we were under 2, 2 and 1/2 feet of snow.

Yeah, this was complete... and I don't know how much

more fell during that blizzard.

But I mean, it was a complete whiteout.

We have an opportunity now to go even deeper than we were

when we were here last time.

We have open soil, open ground.

We're really able to explore what might be under the surface

here in Mount Wilson.

It's literally a new opening for our investigation.

I can't wait to see what this site actually is.

Right.

Bottom line is, this is a new opportunity for us

to figure out, maybe, more about what Bigelow was

doing here for 10 years, right?

As soon as we hit the ground,

I think we should really take off running.

Yeah.

We'll see if Mount Wilson has something

more to show us this trip.

Andy and Paul's first plan

of attack is to meet with Mount Wilson Researcher Carl Andreasen

and Ranch Owner Jeff MacBurnie to investigate

the new collapsed area.

- How's it going? - Hey, guys.

Welcome back.

How are you doing?

Good to be back.

Hey, Jeff.

How are you, Carl? - Hey, gents.

- How you been? - Good to see you.

We have a ton to show you guys.

Yeah.

Last time, we were pushing you guys out of snow

and dealing with all that.

But what we thought was maybe pushing us off

the mountain was really maybe showing us the real way, so.

The melt-off this year has been

the most we've ever experienced here at the mountain.

Yeah, basically all of that

snowpack that we had, the blizzard that pushed us off

from the mines that we were trying to get access to

in the winter time, when that melted off

was showing us probably the real tunnel

that we should have been looking for this whole time,

which is literally right here.

This is it. I mean, look...

This is it.

This entire giant sinkhole

with everything that you see, it's like 40 feet wide,

60 feet long.

And we got Jerry up here taking a look at it.

Hey, Jerry.

- How you been? - Good.

We brought our friends, Andy and Paul here,

to take a look at this hole. - Hey, Jerry.

So you're taking a look at the... whatever this is?

Yeah, they called me and asked me

to come over here and see if this was

some sort of mining activity.

OK.

And, I'll have to tell you, it doesn't look like any mining

activity I've seen.

This is like an entrance to an underground vault,

or a tunnel, or cave system.

What makes you say that?

What do you see here that leads you...

It's too big.

It's just way too big.

This is... this is big enough to put a vehicle in.

OK.

This is a low ground pressure mat.

The military uses them when they...

you know, they bring their rubber-tire vehicles onto

a soft beach, a beach landing.

There's no reason for this to be out in the middle of the desert

in remote Nevada because we don't have

any soft ground around here.

But when you go below the water table here,

you're gonna find really wet, mushy ground.

And so they were driving trucks in and out

and had to have these mats so they

didn't get stuck in the mud?

Right.

Definitely some rubber-tire vehicles

and able to drive under ground here.

I see a... is this a chain drive?

Yeah.

This is huge.

Yeah.

Now, I am gonna guess this was a gate,

a motorized heavy gate to let a vehicle pass in here.

Like a door?

This was a giant sliding door?

A giant sliding door or gate.

We've got this, what is... what's clearly, you know,

a hidden entrance to something.

I think what it also suggests is that maybe there's just

a lot more infrastructure here that we

have no idea about at all.

Paul, this is unlike anything we've

seen in our investigations.

And it's really important to me that we

understand what is under here.

We need the Terra Exploration Group.

Yeah. Yeah.

That's a good idea.

In their previous investigation

at Mount Wilson, geophysical experts

from Terra Exploration Group identified

several underground targets for the team.

What the Terra guys can do

is just see underground for us.

Right.

I mean, we have no idea really where

to begin aside from right here.

This could go in any direction.

This is a hell of a starting place, man.

It's incredible.

This is awesome.

This is just the beginning.

We have a lot more to do.

Hey, guys.

Hey, fellas.

What's going on?

Good to see you.

- Welcome back. - How's it going?

Good.

With the breakthrough discovery

of a collapsed area that could provide the missing link

to the secret of the Lower Meadow,

Andy and Paul have brought back Terra Exploration Group

with their underground surveying technology

to search for any connecting tunnels or voids

and pinpoint a spot to dig.

We brought a bunch more toys.

Excellent.

Well, I think we're gonna need them for this one.

In 2020, the Skinwalker Ranch team

used a magnetometer drone that identified something hidden

below ground next to the mesa.

It's telling us there's

something going on in the ground,

particularly there at the homestead area.

- I - mean, it's clearly

a magnetic anomaly there.

BRANDON FUGAL (VOICEOVER): In Andy

and Paul's first investigation at Mount Wilson,

the Terra team launched a magnetometer

drone in the upper part of the ranch that crashed...

It's bouncing all over the place.

What just happened?

Oof.

BRANDON FUGAL (VOICEOVER): requiring

them to walk the magnetometer by hand

to collect the rest of the data, which

showed evidence of a tunnel system

leading to the Lower Meadow.

Now, the Terra team will use the same technology

to see if they can identify any openings

beneath the new collapsed area.

Should we go take a look?

Yeah, we'd love to show you the site.

Yeah.

All right.

And this whole area collapsed in on itself.

Yep.

What we can see here, right,

this is maybe some kind of entrance

to an underground vault. We have no idea.

It looks like a track.

Like, a train track where you have a... you know,

- you pull a rail cart out. - Yeah.

What we can do is throw some technology at it

and see what we see.

And then that can kind of give us maybe a direction to dig.

Perfect.

That's the idea.

Well, let's get to work.

Ooh, that's high speed.

Look at that.

Bigger, stronger, faster, better.

I like it.

Terra's drone flies

in a preprogrammed grid pattern using

GPS coordinates for navigation.

The attached magnetometer will take magnetic readings

with hopes of revealing a tunnel underneath the Collapsed Area.

If the team can find an underground pathway,

it may lead them to the buried craft Robert

Bigelow was searching for.

We got a new drone because we killed ours last time.

This one's actually shielded, so it should

be more stable this time.

Hopefully, it comes back.

Yeah, hopefully it lands in one piece.

So far, so good.

Yep.

There she goes.

Well, this one's flying a lot better.

- A - good, clean flight.

Yeah.

And I really like the large footprint

that you programmed because it gives us a chance

to see if there's any sort of directionality

to whatever anomaly we may find under there.

Right.

Yeah, whatever this entrance connects to,

we have no idea what direction, or what orientation,

or how big it is.

Let's come home.

Perfect.

Look, hit the only pothole.

Almost perfect.

Well, good job, guys.

All right.

Now, you got some work ahead of you

- to process data? - Yes, we do.

We'll be able to compare and contrast information and come up

with a solid set of where we want to target

and how we want to proceed.

Yeah, all right.

Got it.

Let's do it.

Since it will take the Terra team

into the late evening to process their magnetometer data,

the plan is to regroup in the morning to see the results.

But before Andy and Paul call it a night

in Room 3 of Mount Wilson's guest house,

Jeff and Carl have some important information

to share with them.

Hey, guys. What's up?

- Hey. - Come on in.

Can we come in?

We're just... we're just messing with some gear.

Nice.

I kind of felt like we should make you aware.

Yeah, this room here, basically, last time you asked,

why would Mr. Bigelow have sold this place to me?

This room here, Mr. Bigelow had an encounter

with what he called a shaman.

In this room?

In this room.

While he was sleeping, like, in this bed.

In this bed?

Woke up in the middle of the night.

And he said the figure was so tall

that it was stooping up with its head below the ceiling and it...

what it tell him?

Leave.

Pointed right at him and told him to leave.

That was the message.

And we even talked to a guy from the phone company that was here

the next day when he woke up, heard it first-hand from him

and said that Bigelow was freaking out,

that he had saw this apparition appeared

to him right here in this room.

It sounds like this isn't

like someone sensing a presence or feeling like something

is there.

This is something that's visible.

We can set up cameras to... you know, if anything does happen,

we'll capture it.

Yeah, we're not leaving, for sure.

Right, no. Yeah, we're not going anywhere.

I mean, this is... this is wild.

Yeah, yeah, yeah.

Carl and Jeff were just

kind of giving us, sort of, a friendly heads up, like, look,

this is the story of this place.

And I always take, especially these the idea

of the paranormal stuff with a grain of salt.

But of all the places we've been,

this place may have the darkest and most

disturbing, and frankly, some of the most

bizarre stories we've heard.

But you've got to come with an open mind.

I thought this was all just gonna be for outdoor use.

Andy, Paul and the production team

set up multiple cameras in their room

to attempt to record what supposedly spooked Robert

Bigelow, including a new, highly sensitive FLIR HD

Thermal Camera designed to capture

heat signatures from objects.

- Hey, Andy? - Yeah, man?

Come check this out.

Look at that.

What is that?

What is that in the corner?

Whoa!

What was that?

- Was that recorded? - Did you see that?

No!

I absolutely saw it.

I just turned it on.

- Hey, Andy? - Yeah, man?

Come check this out.

Look at that.

What is that?

What is that in the corner?

Whoa!

What was that?

Was that recorded?

Did you see that? No!

- I absolutely saw it. - I just turned it on.

That was a dude in the corner.

That was a dude in the corner.

But then it's gone.

It's gone! That wasn't saved?

Nope, not (bleep) at all. Nope.

I just turned it on.

I just turned it on.

Before we even press record on half the equipment down here,

I thought the shaman, we'd never get any evidence.

But then, sure enough, as soon as we turned on the FLIR,

we get some kind of weird shadow.

Like, is that the shaman?

- My god. - Crazy.

Dude, go back over there.

- You go over there. - OK.

OK, roll it. Roll it.

All right, we're gonna roll it.

There we go.

It's live.

OK.

So you were over here.

Blah, blah, blah, right?

Right.

I think you were messing with the camera.

OK.

And...

I left.

It's... I'm... It's as... you were...

- I was focusing on. - I see you, yup.

And you're hot as the day is long.

Yeah, yeah, yeah.

Right.

And then you came over here.

And when you were over here, there was a dude in the corner.

So what's crazy is...

100%.

The signature that was there didn't have heat.

But you had heat when you were there right now.

Right Did you... so you saw it the second before it went away?

- I - absolutely saw it.

I saw it right before it... and then it reset

and the image went away.

It was gone.

That was so wild.

Did Lee... did you get that?

[groans] Man, I hope Lee got that.

Man, could you

imagine if we're five minutes into this room

and we already have that?

My god, I hope this is on camera.

Come on, Lee. Come on, Lee.

- Here we go. - That's it!

That's it! That's it right there!

Now, keep watching.

Keep watching.

That's totally [bleep] right there.

Look at that. Look at that.

Lee, you have it.

My gosh, Lee, you have it.

And there it is!

Andy walks away and it's right there.

It's right behind me!

It's right there.

Look at that, right there.

Yes, it's right there.

Yeah, you can [bleep] see it.

And then Andy blocks it.

You totally have it, Lee!

But then it's gone.

And yes, just as soon as my hand clears,

it's gone.

Awesome.

Check this [bleep] out.

- I - just saw something

that you shouldn't see.

Right?

Here's Andy.

What's that behind him in the corner?

There's someone standing in the corner of the room.

There is someone stand... exactly.

There's someone standing in the corner.

I'm like...

There's a person standing.

And I'm like? Wait, watch.

Keep watching, guys.

Watch.

- Your hands are in the way. - My god.

- But watch. - Move your hand.

He's saying move his... move...

I heard. Gone.

What?

Gone.

Weird.

Something is weird in that corner.

I've seen a lot of things doing this kind of work.

But I've never seen anything remotely like that.

Like, there was a moment where I was like,

hey, Andy, because I'm about to lose my mind here.

There's something in the corner right behind you.

I don't even know what to say.

I'm kind of at a loss for words, which is not like me.

There was... there was something in that corner.

I don't know what it was, period.

I want to see what the Skinwalker team makes of this.

Absolutely.

After encountering what appeared

to be the entity that reportedly drove Robert Bigelow from Mount

Wilson, Andy and Paul call an urgent meeting

with the Skinwalker team to analyze what was

captured on the thermal camera.

Greetings from Skinwalker Ranch.

Paul, Andy, anxious to hear what is happening at Mount Wilson.

Well, I want to say we've had a hell

of a start to this place.

One of the things that ended up happening to Paul

and when we arrived is that we were

given a room that was assigned to us by Jeff, the ranch owner.

And Jeff came in and told us later on

that the room actually had a specific history

tied back to Bigelow.

This room is where Bigelow had been

staying while he was there.

There's no other way to put it but that it was haunted.

And we want to share that with you because we think we may have

captured some really interesting, measurable evidence

that speaks to the phenomenon that may have

gotten Bigelow off that ranch.

Am I to understand that you actually

took instrumented measurements in the room

where Mr. Bigelow had those experiences?

That's exactly right.

I can't wait to see it.

Yeah, I'm on the edge of my seat here.

Whoa!

ANDY BUSTAMANTE (ON RECORDING): Was that recorded?

Did you see that?

No!

I absolutely saw that.

I just turned it on!

ANDY BUSTAMANTE (ON RECORDING): What is that?

What is that in the corner?

Wait a minute.

That was a dude in the corner!

That was a dude in the corner.

Wait, I saw somebody

walk in front of the camera.

No, it was right in the back.

It was like a hooded figure.

Right, you can see there's the purple stripe

is the cool corner of the room.

OK.

When we roll it back, now look at that corner.

That's from just a moment before.

Can you frame advance very slowly?

Absolutely.

Now, here I step in front of the camera until a later moment.

It's gone there.

There's a very important frame

that I think will help shed some light on this.

So you're about to see my image pop up on the thermal camera.

And I'll appear in front of whatever

that entity, whatever that image is.

That's interesting.

OK.

- OK. right there. - There.

Stop.

There's a dark feature that we

saw in the initial image.

I still see the...

the hands, and the face, and the body shape.

Is that not weird?

Now, it's starting to get a little more obscured.

Well, the persistence of that dark area

- says a lot to me. - Yeah.

You know, as I said, it's...

yeah, there it is again.

OK.

Goodness.

It obviously looks like some spectral figure,

which is similar to what we've seen, observed and documented

here at Skinwalker Ranch.

BRANDON FUGAL (VOICEOVER): In 2022,

a member of Robert Bigelow's investigative team

returned to Skinwalker Ranch and recalled

an incident where he saw an apparition at Homestead 2.

As we walk closer to Homestead 2,

we felt a drastic drop in temperature.

You could put your arm through it.

And you could feel the cold versus the heat.

On the second floor of Homestead 2,

through the night vision device, we saw what resembled

a dark, shadowy figure.

And here's one of the things, a detail

that really struck me, right?

Was whenever... whenever one of us,

whenever a person passes in front of the screen, what's

the hottest thing you see?

It's their face.

Your face is bright yellow, you know, the hottest

ends of the spectrum.

Whatever this face is, is black.

It is cold.

The part that's undeniable is that you have an image in a FLIR

of a cold object that looks very humanoid in shape

that just appeared there for a few seconds.

This is unique because we have a very distinct image captured

with a very sophisticated piece of equipment,

with witnesses participating in observing all of this play out.

What an extraordinary event to be captured on camera.

And I can only imagine what will be further discovered

as we dedicate the resources.

All right, gentlemen, thank you very much.

And we'll see you soon. - All right, guys.

Thank you, gentlemen.

Nice talking to you.

Thank you so much for your efforts.

We got to go meet up with the Leonards.

Let's do it.

The recent discovery

of a collapsed area above the Lower Meadow led the team

to order a magnetometer survey looking for evidence of tunnels.

Now, they meet up with Terra Exploration Group

to review the results.

All right, fellas.

Well, so I got...

got some cool stuff.

We got all the data crunched.

There is some interesting findings.

There is weird stuff going on out here.

The mag data is gonna blow you away.

This is the magnetometer.

When we use a magnetometer, we're reading

the Earth's magnetic field.

This is not a topo map.

This is just a representation of the magnetic field strength.

Yeah.

All that black area

there is our collapsed area.

The dark colors?

Yeah.

Typically, that kind of a color indicates a void

or a very loosely-packed soil.

The dark blues and the blacks like the low magnetism

because it's air.

Wow.

And I'm seeing some lines in here

that kind of intrigue me.

I see three in there... one there, one there, one there.

Whoa.

It looks totally straight.

Like, unnaturally straight.

Yeah.

You don't get a lot of straight lines in nature.

Yeah.

So we want to look at the satellite image.

There's our collapsed area.

And we overlaid this.

Whoa.

Wow, that could be the tunnel entrance

that we're looking for.

It would be consistent with a tunnel.

Wow.

And here's the most intriguing thing.

These... there's one there.

And here's this one over here.

Boom.

Wow.

Do you think there's a possibility that continues

all the way down under there?

Yeah.

Right under the meadow.

Right under the meadow.

Exactly.

It lines up perfectly.

There's enough data here that we've also

been able to connect the tunnel area with the Lower Meadow

with some kind of void that might connect the two.

Correct.

Right there is the opening all the way down

- to the Lower Meadow. - There could be.

So there's maybe a little bit of an answer

to a big question there.

Maybe this was built to access under the meadow?

Is it the spaceship under the ground?

You know, it's just...

Bizarre.

It is bizarre.

And now that we're looking

at what may be a tunnel that leads all

the way to the Lower Meadow.

If they're all the way up at this entrance,

would there be a purpose to tunnel all the way down

to the Lower Meadow?

I mean, you can access the Lower Meadow from the Lower Meadow.

Right, true.

But if you... if you're wanting to pull something out of there,

a UFO, you need... you need a way to get it out.

You need a track.

And Bigelow did try in the meadow

and got stuck up to the seat, you know, with their bulldozer.

Because of the softness of that.

The Lower Meadow is a marshy area

located next to a creek.

And when Bigelow's team tried to dig there with a bulldozer,

it sank all the way up to the driver's seat.

Later, he brought the same bulldozer to Skinwalker Ranch.

This is intentional infrastructure

built by human beings.

And the fastest way to get underground in the Lower Meadow

would be through a tunnel that starts in the Collapsed Area.

That might be what Bigelow's team was

following and what made them ultimately leave

and give up, too.

How can we home in on that a bit?

Is that possible?

Dig.

We got to go down.

Right.

If there are those tunnels going down,

if we can gain access into those tunnels, get into there.

Now, Robert, I know you were saying

earlier that you guys find the anomalies, but you don't dig.

So we'll get to digging and we'll give you a new target

to explore in the Lower Meadow.

Awesome, let's go.

With newfound information

of a possible tunnel system connecting

the Collapsed Area to the Lower Meadow,

and an alleged buried spacecraft.

The team sets out to excavate and hopefully

reveal what Robert Bigelow was doing at Mount Wilson Ranch.

Let's do it.

We know we've got steel down there.

We know we've got potential risk of further collapse.

I mean, this is a huge 40-by 60-foot site and we

have no idea what's in there.

So to see that excavator actually do this,

this is what we're here for.

Now, it's gonna get interesting.

Even if this is a tunnel going in that direction,

there is some kind of void here.

I mean, something has collapsed.

Absolutely.

Look at all that.

What is going on, man?

This is mind-blowing right now.

This so crazy, Jeff.

Well, that sounded hollow.

Wow.

Just amazed that this is all covered.

This took some work to cover.

It took some real work to cover this up.

There's a lot more here than I thought, man.

This is crazy.

It seems like every time Jerry puts the bucket

into the ground, we are pulling out some kind

of mysterious piece of debris.

Like, why is there so much metal in here?

There it is. There it is.

There it is.

There it is.

Watch out.

Throw it over here, is four...

Wow, that's farm equipment.

Farm equipment?

What the hell, Jeff?

Farm equipment?

It's a giant combine thing.

What in the hell?

Wow.

Well, that's hooked to something.

Watch this piece of military rig.

My god.

What is this?

What is that?

What [bleep]!

That's like a big steam engine.

I think there's a whole truck down there.

That is the undercarriage of a truck.

This really is like an archaeological dig.

We're just pulling all these mostly metal artifacts out

of the ground, like these traction mats

for maybe very heavy trucks to drive in

and out of some kind of site.

Whoa, look out.

Jeez.

Two for one.

More and more mats.

A stack of them.

There's more coming.

It's gonna snap back.

Yeah, watch out.

More railing.

Like, they just threw railing in here.

- Look at that. - My goodness.

Holy crap, Jeff.

We've got all this debris

that looks like it was just shoved into a hole in a hurry.

There's the engine.

The whole motor.

The engine block.

Whatever was going on here, they definitely

abandoned it and covered it up.

It's another one.

That's a second vehicle.

It's another vehicle.

Why would you take all the time and energy

to bury all this stuff?

Holy [bleep].

Look out.

Hey, guys?

Carl and Jeff, step back.

A piece of metal comes out of there,

it's gonna come out of there like a tomahawk.

And remember, this is all a void.

- My god! - Look at that.

See, that crack just opened up?

- Yep. - Yeah.

A big crack.

Yeah, you can see there's a void underneath.

This almost looks like an entrance or...

Careful there, bud.

Look at that.

What the hell is that, Andy?

A big crack.

Look at that.

What the hell is that, Andy?

As The team continues to excavate

at the Collapsed Area, they uncover

what seems to be an opening, as predicted

by the magnetometer survey.

He's all through here.

I mean, look underneath here, Paul.

I know, right?

I mean, there's... you know.

I'm just trying to see if our void continues here.

I mean, this is... whatever this beam is, it

goes deep into this hillside.

It just keeps going back there.

There's more buried metal and equipment.

But why would they have collapsed it all?

Why would you bury all this stuff?

This is like it's hidden, right?

Why would you do this?

Unless all of this equipment was scattered around this area.

And when they bulldozed in to close this up,

they just pushed the equipment right in with it.

Yeah.

And I got to go meet up with the Leonards,

take a look at that Lower Meadow.

OK, perfect. We'll just keep working here.

Sounds perfect.

With the rest of the team focused

on the dig at the Collapsed Area,

Andy heads down to the Lower Meadow

to meet with Terra Exploration Group.

Welcome back to the Lower Meadow.

Yes, sir.

Boy.

So we're really hoping to dig deeper.

OK.

We've got whatever seems to exist under here.

Travis believes this might be some sort of advanced tech.

If we can confirm some of the same magnetometer results

as last time, I see that as a positive.

But if we can really get down and get a closer, more detailed

view, that's even better.

All right.

BRANDON FUGAL (VOICEOVER): The last time

they ran the magnetometer in the Lower Meadow, the team

picked up a mysterious interference

signal that obscured the data.

So it's like, it's an even pulse.

I mean, look how evenly apart they are.

There's something that's just stopping it.

Like, the mag is turning on and off.

When Travis reviewed the results,

he theorized it could be some kind of advanced technology

that's sending signals from beneath the earth into space.

If Bigelow would have found that, he would have stayed.

BRANDON FUGAL (VOICEOVER): Now, they

will try again with a new drone, with hopes of identifying

what could be buried here.

- You ready? - Let's do it.

- All right. - Let's launch.

Whoa!

Whoa, god!

No.

What was that?

What happened there?

No forewarning or anything.

Well.

That thing just totally shut down.

What just happened here?

I just watched a modern-day, insulated, shielded drone

take off and then just shut off in midair.

Well, the other day when we did that other grid,

it worked flawlessly.

I mean, it did it... it flew a grid perfectly for 12 minutes,

came back and landed no problem.

This thing ain't get up 10 feet.

This machine is built to survive.

It's built to save itself.

Absolutely.

So the fact that it

just shut off and came crashing down, that's highly anomalous.

What gets me is how localized this anomaly is.

I mean, this Lower Meadow is maybe

half a football field in size.

And really, what this struck me as is

it's like it hits some sort of persistent boundary

that just fried the electronics, fried

all of the self-preservation, and it

just brought it straight down. - Yeah, I don't...

I don't understand it.

Well, let's go walk it.

Let's go take a walk.

Yeah.

I am so sorry to see...

to cost you guys another piece of equipment.

Well, it's the price we

pay for being in this business.

First point to the Lower Meadow.

But we're not done fighting yet.

Yeah.

I think we keep going in this direction

and see if we can pick up our void again.

Keep going.

I think we just have Jerry keep clawing away.

We don't know what's gonna happen,

but I think we keep going where the data is pointing.

We have to find out if there's a tunnel or not.

Definitely.

Like, we can't figure out, is it a mining site?

Is it a military site?

And then why was it capped up in what looks like a huge hurry

to get out of here?

Hey, you guys should come over and take a look at this.

We got a date on this bag over here.

Really?

Yeah, I saw Jerry pull this right

out of the hole with a scoop, kind of towards the top railing.

But is that what this is?

Yep.

So we have a name, a website, and everything.

2005.

So this would be...

This is recent.

Bigelow trash on top of all this old stuff.

So you've had it for 16 years, 2007.

That was bought in 2005.

This was done right before then.

Right before I bought it.

So Bigelow must have filled this in with some

of his stuff, potentially, right before deciding

to sell it to you.

So this is a big deal.

What it does is give us a time stamp on this place.

2005, Bigelow still owned this place.

Yeah.

This gives us a date.

Right.

What this does is prove that Bigelow had

a big physical operation here.

And for some reason, buried all this equipment in a hurry

before he sold it to Jeff.

Now, what that means about what they were actually doing here,

that's what we've got to figure out.

It has been a constant source

of frustration for the Skinwalker Ranch team

that Robert Bigelow, who owned both Skinwalker Ranch and Mount

Wilson Ranch at the same time, has never shared the data

his teams uncovered at either location.

Bigelow came in with his team National Institute

of Discovery Science, or NIDS, and his team

conducted a very aggressive scientific investigation.

Most of what Mr. Bigelow and his team

studied and reported on the ranch

remains either classified or confidential and is locked away.

So I think we just have Jerry continue along our axis.

Who knows what else we'll find? - Yeah.

Right along this beam.

- Yep. - Start digging.

Yeah, let's do it.

There's got to be a void there.

Well, the Leonard scan clearly

said there's a void, so this might be

the entrance to it right here.

We're getting close to finding out real quick.

No matter what this is, though, the question

is, why would you bury it?

Why would you go through all this trouble?

As the dig progresses

in the Collapsed Area, Andy and Terra Exploration Group

are taking a different approach to getting

data in the Lower Meadow.

That looks like some vintage equipment, man.

Yeah, I'm telling you.

Some of this stuff's been around for a long time.

This is an old technology, but it's very dependable.

We got these big coils we're gonna drag out.

And this one won't give us an image,

but it'll give us a number.

If there's metal under the ground,

we're gonna pick that up.

BRANDON FUGAL (VOICEOVER): The EM-34

is a device that sends electromagnetic frequencies

into the ground to measure the conductivity of objects below,

such as metals.

The team will start by measuring at 50 feet deep,

then go farther down to 100 feet, and finally 200 feet.

Higher readings would indicate more

conductivity, suggesting the presence

of a large, metal object.

We're sending a magnetic field into the ground...

Through those.

From one of these into the other.

We're gonna go 50 feet deep, because it'll

read down to that depth.

OK, so what's the reading?

0.04.

OK, let's move over a little bit.

Moving across the field

laterally, the team will take several measurements until they

cover the entire Lower Meadow.

OK, same, Robert.

All right, let's move over one.

- Same. - Same?

So far, it looks pretty low to me.

Yeah.

All right, let me go grab those other cables.

After covering the meadow

and detecting normal readings at 50 feet below the surface,

the team will now move on to test at 100 feet.

So we got a hundred feet cable, yeah?

Yep.

So we're going just about a hundred feet.

Are you touching the ground?

Yeah.

All right, here we go.

Switch it.

OK.

Wow.

It's hugely different.

Holy smokes.

It's pegging off the charts.

At a hundred feet deep.

So we hit it, whatever's down there.

50 feet deep was still basically all soil.

So we went deeper and we came across something.

Somewhere between 50 and hundred feet,

we're hitting some kind of material

that is highly conductive.

Highly conducted.

Let's see if it still does it...

all right, about right there.

A little too... yeah, that's good.

All right, come on, baby.

Come on, baby.

It's climbing, climbing!

So we're 10 feet further from our last point,

but we're getting the same results at a hundred feet deep.

We are seeing a highly conductive, large mass of

something that's underground.

Whatever it is that we're running into,

it's had the same readings from here to where you are right now.

What's curious is it really could be any number of things.

It could be some kind of device that's never been shared

because it was classified for some sort of government use

or it could be something not of this planet at all.

I'd like to see somewhere where it would stop.

Well, if we run out that bigger cable

and it goes back low, then we know we've passed under it.

Yeah.

All right, so we'll get this bigger cable out.

With an unidentified conductive

mass detected 100 feet down...

- Are we doing that big one? - Yeah.

BRANDON FUGAL (VOICEOVER): the team

will now measure at 200 feet to see how large

this mysterious mass really is.

All right.

All right, here we go.

Are you on?

Yeah.

I think it's gonna peg out again.

Still climbing, 0.7.

Something crazy here, highly conductive.

We're off the chart.

And that means it's pretty thick

because we picked it up at a hundred feet

and we picked it up at 200.

So whatever it is, it's big.

That's unbelievable.

That's weird.

This incredibly large conductive

mass, 200 feet underground.

What could be so big and so deep?

BRANDON FUGAL (VOICEOVER): Next time

on Beyond Skinwalker Ranch...

What is this thing? What is it?

It's a metallic object that's shaped like this.

The Manta Ray, shape of a manta ray,

but being a craft.

Something strange

was either developed on Mount Wilson Ranch or discovered.

What the heck is going on out here?

We got power.

They've got to be Bigelow's right?

Well, maybe they were trying to use these to make

contact or to communicate with whatever

is out in the Lower Meadow?

This is our first chance to really carry out

an investigation with the same technology, the same tool that

the Bigelow team may have used.

So this piece of 50-year-old tech,

we'll just see what it does.

There's absolutely something

happening that's causing this.

We might be reaching the Manta Ray 200 feet down.

Maybe this is some kind of a communication?

The fastest way to get

under ground in the Lower Meadow is going to be through a void.

All right, we've got a plan.

Wow.

Look at the size of that thing.

- Let her rip. - This is it, Jeff.

We're about to find out.

Andy, do you want the bad news or the bad news?

You guys may have captured a nefarious set

of oligarchs watching you or a foreign intelligence

organization watching you.

This could be far stranger than ghosts and aliens.

I don't know what this is, but it's weird.
