Our intent today is to do an experiment

to measure a phenomena that we call the bubble.

I can't take off.

How is putting a balloon up in the sky

keeping you from launching your drone?

Rocket's hot.

Something pushed the rocket away!

Unbelievable.

Let's dive in on this part of the video frame.

- Wow. - That's actually not far

from the boundary of our bubble.

We need to devise experiments

at those barrier locations.

Maybe we need to go out

and do field markers.

They will indicate the boundary of that bubble.

We've got a hole drilled.

Erik and I both would really like to get

some scientific analysis from instruments inside these holes.

There is a ranch in Northern Utah.

It is considered the epicenter

of the strangest and most disturbing occurrences on Earth.

For two decades,

the federal government

investigated the property.

Their findings have never been made public.

Right there! We got something!

Now a new team

of independent scientists and researchers

are taking over.

They are uncovering evidence

that the countless stories...

It came right out of the mesa.

Of unidentified aerial phenomena...

- UAP right there! - Yep.

Bizarre energies...

It looks like there's a heat source right above 'em.

And portals that lead to other dimensions...

We're maybe looking at the anomaly

for the first time, guys.

Might actually be true.

They will stop at nothing to reveal...

The Secret of Skinwalker Ranch.

- New day? - New day.

Are we ready to go on the second hole?

Ready to go.

This morning kicked off

with a lot of excitement for our team on Skinwalker Ranch.

After more than a year

of dealing with strange mechanical problems,

we've finally completed the first of two boreholes

up through the mesa,

where ground-penetrating radar has showed evidence

of a massive object

and several smaller anomalies buried inside there.

I would recommend that we stay

as close to the depth as the other hole

- as we can. - Yeah.

We can definitely do that.

- Let's get to drilling. - Yeah.

Let us know if anything weird happens.

- Sounds good. - Perfect.

So, today, the team from Mark Construction Drilling

is getting started on a second identical borehole

about 45 feet to the west,

which will give us one hole on either side

of the large buried object.

- Push it faster. - I'll let you know

when you're about to get into the wall.

Our plan is to have a pair of parallel boreholes

on either side of the large object.

Having these two parallel pathways through the mesa

would enable us to insert

a variety of scientific instruments

so that we can study whatever that anomaly is.

So it is essential that we get this second hole

through the mesa.

Hey, guys.

I want to introduce you to, Chris Roberts.

- How you doing, Chris? - Hey, man.

- Travis. - While the drillers got to work

on Borehole #2,

we welcomed archaeologist Chris Roberts to the ranch.

He's going to play a critical role in our mesa investigation.

I figure since he's got a lot of experience of looking for,

- you know, things and... - Artifacts

- in dirt. - Looking for artifacts in dirt,

it'd be a good fit.

But we get so spread out sometimes,

I figure we could use a little help.

- That's a good idea. - We could use a lot of help. -Yeah.

I've done a lot of historic and prehistoric archaeology.

So I've been invited

to look at the spoils that have come out of the mesa

from the drilling process

and determine if there are any artifacts in those spoils.

So,

Chris, we're-we're just getting ready

to start drilling our second hole up into the mesa.

And as they're drilling,

those spoils will come out of the-the pit

and they get sucked up in this vacuum trailer over here

so you can sift through 'em.

So any-any insight that you can, you know,

bring is-is great. It's another perspective.

You know, we're looking at it more from engineering

and-and physics perspective.

To have archaeological perspective is good.

Great. Yeah.

Three years ago...

- Look at that. - When we first drilled into the mesa,

we were stunned to recover fragments of metal

that are similar to what NASA,

SpaceX, and even Blue Origin use

to protect the exterior of spacecraft.

My.

So as Borehole #2 goes up through the mesa,

Chris will use specially made screens

to scour the drilling spoils for any additional clues

that might help us figure out

just what is buried inside there.

I can get out here and look at anything

that's coming out of there that's unnatural

and see what we have for any kind of materials

that we really want to look at closely.

And, in addition, I do have a metal detector.

That sounds great.

Okay, well, Chris,

I think I'm gonna take you up to the spoils pit

and get you familiar with kind of the lay of the land.

And then we'll get you going with the spoils sifting.

Sounds great. Let's take a look at it.

Sounds great. Good to meet you, man.

Later that day...

while the drilling operation in Borehole 2 continued...

All right.

Kaleb and Thomas went to the top of the mesa

with ground-penetrating radar expert Jan Francke

to start our very first scanning operation in Borehole 1.

So you've got your GPR equipment.

I've got my device.

And what's really neat about this is,

instead of the backpack system, this is much more compact.

Perfect.

There's an actual computer on board.

Got the data coming in.

And when we're ready to go, I'm just gonna press start.

We're ready.

- Awesome. - Yeah.

Wi-Fi on.

In the past, Jan has used his GPR devices

to scan from the outside of the mesa,

which is how we originally detected

all the things we think are buried in there.

But now that we've completed our first borehole,

he's going to insert a much more specialized GPR device,

which will be scanning all the way down and around

to hopefully give us even more information

about the exact locations and sizes of these believed objects.

I want to read out the distance.

Let's do meters, 'cause if we do feet,

there's just too many feet to read out.

All right.

Okay, let's do this.

So, one meter.

Two meters.

So, what I brought today

is a different type of GPR than we've used here before.

In fact,

I designed it specifically to be used

in the pyramids in Egypt

to be able to get up into a very small crack

between some rocks.

So this is a tiny, tiny GPR.

And the idea is get it down the borehole.

51. Wow, we're really deep in there.

So they can at least

look around the hole 20 feet out

and see anything that might be there.

Sixty-five.

- Geez. - All right.

Whoa.

- Getting tough? - Yeah. Right there.

I'm starting to hit something right there.

What do you think we're hitting?

I don't know. We can't get past where we're at.

- There's no getting by it. - What are we at?

How many meters are we at right now?

We're at,

72.71, 72.

- Right? So 240 feet. - So...

We're definitely alongside of the anomaly,

- I think. - I would think so.

The inside of Borehole 1

has been coated with a gel-like cement.

So it should be totally open

for the device to move all the way through it.

Could the massive object or one of the smaller anomalies

that we believe are in there have stopped it up?

If so, how?

- I think we pull it out. - Okay... Yeah.

I can't wait to see what the data says.

I'm excited.

What's going on, man?

Well, I have some results for you guys.

- Ready. - Well, I'm glad. Let's see what you got.

The next morning, Jan met with us in the command center

to present the processed GPR data from Borehole 1.

So, what we did was we tied the GPR to the PVC pipe,

right, and we pushed that down as far as you can get in there.

- And this is in Borehole 1? - This is in Borehole 1.

- Right. - That's right.

And we got down just over 200 feet.

Which is, I guess, about a third of the way

of the entire borehole.

So I want to show you some of the results from that,

and it showed me something really interesting.

So, if I double-click on this,

take a look at this, guys.

So, this is the radar profile.

Remember, the left side is the entrance to the hole.

And the horizontal axis

is how deep we are in the hole.

Exactly right.

- Okay. Understood. - Exactly.

And for this first bit,

there's really nothing there. Nothing to speak of.

But you get to about, I don't know, 20, 21 meters...

so that's about 60 feet...

and we get this very interesting reflection

that could be metal.

- Really? - Yeah. This device

doesn't penetrate metal.

So any reflections we get are going to be

very, very strong if the energy hits the metal target.

But what's interesting is

that this really shouldn't be

in a sandstone mesa out here in the middle of nowhere.

Right.

So, this is not the only anomaly though, right?

We see another one.

- Yeah, I'm looking. I see. - There's a second one

- right there. - 25 meters away

from the other one down the hole.

That's about 150 feet in.

Isn't that interesting?

We're quite deep into the mesa.

So I wouldn't expect there to be metal.

- Right? - Wow.

Jan's new GPR scans

definitely helped verify that there are possible objects

buried in the sandstone mesa and...

they're really in close proximity to Borehole 1.

But what are these things and how might they have been related

to whatever stopped Jan's device

from proceeding further into Borehole 1?

I'm very hopeful that we're able to get that second borehole up

and understand what the shape of this thing is

- that we're dealing with. - The drillers are getting

their butts kicked out there right now,

but they are making progress

and we are inching up towards the top

- of Borehole 2. - Yeah.

- This is fantastic. Yeah. - Well, if anything, this makes me

- more excited than ever to get down in that hole. - Yeah. Yeah.

- Yeah. - Thank you.

Awesome, Jan. Appreciate it, man.

- My pleasure. - Yeah.

All right,

well, let's get to work.

Let's go take a look. See what we see.

All right, well, call down to us, and,

- if we've got something, we'll come over. - Sounds good.

The next morning, while Erik Bard

was overseeing the drilling of Borehole 2 in the mesa,

nearby, Thomas Winterton

was helping Chris Roberts prep the sifting area

where Chris will search through all the spoils for clues.

Hey, Allan.

Easton said he's still not getting water in the pit.

Try blasting it some more.

Okay. I'm gonna blast it.

Everything with the drilling operation

seemed to be going fine.

But then,

all of a sudden,

something really weird happened.

Still nothing?

I got nothing.

Easton said there's nothing coming out, man.

The drillers use water to lubricate their bit

while cutting through the sandstone,

which should then come back out of the hole.

Well,

suddenly, all of the water was disappearing

somewhere inside the mesa.

Hey, Thomas.

This is Bearcat over at the drill.

Yeah, this is Thomas. Go ahead.

We're not getting anything out of the mesa.

We're pumping water in. We're not getting anything out.

All right, I'll head up there.

This is definitely concerning to hear

that there's no water coming back out of Borehole 2.

I hope there isn't a major problem here.

It's imperative that we get these two holes finished

so we can finally get some answers

as to what lies inside the mesa.

So how far are we into the mesa?

Should be about 85 feet.

So, at 85 feet is when you noticed

- the fluid stopped flowing back? - Yeah.

Yeah. 'Cause I pumped

about a quarter of my thousand-gallon tank through it,

and all my returns stopped.

So you've pumped 250 gallons in so far with nothing coming out?

Yeah.

Where it's going, we don't know.

Some kind of void.

Based on numerous GPR scans,

we believe we're drilling just to the west of a massive,

possibly metallic object

and smaller anomalies buried in the mesa.

Now we're finding evidence of a void there, too?

Just what could that be?

So what are you guys thinking you're gonna do?

We're gonna keep drilling forward

and hopefully we get back into rock soon

and the water and spoils will come out again.

I find that very interesting.

It's definitely something I want to let Erik know about.

Okay.

Hey, Erik. You got a copy?

Yeah, Thomas, what do you got?

So, the drillers are into the mesa 85 feet,

and, the fluid has ceased to come out of the hole,

indicating that we've got some kind of void in there.

So far, they've lost about 250 gallons of fluid.

Copy that. Boy, that sure reminds me

of what happened the first time we got into that mesa,

with the smoke bombs.

All right, we're gonna pop the smoke.

Three years ago,

after hearing rumors about possible caves

or even some kind of secret structure buried in the mesa,

we dropped smoke bombs into small crevices

between some boulders

not too far from where we're currently drilling.

We wanted to see if the smoke would just rise back up

or come out somewhere else and prove

that there was some kind of void in there.

Look, look! It's getting sucked in.

Yeah, the smoke's going down!

We should be seeing smoke everywhere. There's no smoke.

There's nothing here.

Well, something seemed to actually suck the smoke in,

and it didn't come out anywhere.

It was like there was some kind of vacuum

pulling it down inside there.

It made no sense.

At this point,

not much else to do other than press on

and see how much fluid we lose.

Agreed.

That might be into a much larger void.

Is it possible that some of the objects we detected

are sitting in some kind of large void or structure?

And could that be related to whatever pulled the smoke down

into the mesa several years ago?

It'll be interesting to see

if the drillers keep going through empty space

or if they hit something solid as they continue in Borehole 2.

Tell them to keep us advised as they continue

into the hillside.

Copy that.

All right, guys.

Think we've got it all sorted out.

While drilling continued at the mesa,

Erik and I met with the team outside the command center

to further investigate

another crazy mystery

that we're determined to figure out.

So we're looking

at points on the perimeter of our structure, our bubble.

We've got three locations where we'll put markers up

- around its perimeter. - Okay.

According to several different kinds

of infrared lidar devices,

there is a gigantic, invisible sphere or bubble

that is centered at the triangle

and has a radius of about 2,000 feet.

That means it covers a huge area of the ranch

where we've encountered all kinds of phenomena...

like UAPs,

a mysterious cloudy blob,

and other anomalies in the air

that we can only see with thermal cameras.

And its boundaries have actually appeared to stop drones

and rockets from entering it.

So, I think we'll start in the east field.

- Yeah, that'll be good. - Yeah.

- I'm ready to get started. - Let's do it.

Using all the lidar data that identified the bubble,

Erik has been able to map out the GPS points

for its believed perimeter

on the ground in a computer model.

But to help us see the perimeter with our own eyes

so that we can investigate it,

our plan is to mark it using wooden posts all over the ranch.

Then we can also equip the posts with lights

and different instruments.

Erik, if you want

to give me a GPS coordinate, I'll walk to it.

Okay. So, 40 degrees,

15 minutes, 32 seconds north,

and 109 degrees,

53 minutes, 11 seconds west.

One, two, three.

Let's go ahead and land a post.

Copy that.

These wooden posts will define

the boundary between

the interior and exterior of the bubble,

with the intent of coming back to those locations

and performing experiments.

Looks great now.

- We'll see you, Thomas. - Yeah.

Hopefully, we'll get some clues

as to what is responsible for the nature of the phenomena here

at Skinwalker Ranch.

We're gonna go to the tree lines.

I'm gonna go and find where the next post would be.

- All right, sounds good. - Okay.

It is thick in here.

Hey, Travis.

- Yeah. - Look, look. What's over here?

You got to be kidding me.

You've got to be kidding me.

It's one of the GPS bottles we lost?

Yeah.

It's been... three years

since we dropped them things out of the helicopter.

That's crazy.

Holy crap. Just as we were about to mark another spot

right at the western boundary of the bubble,

Kaleb and I found a bottle with a GPS device in it

that we lost back in 2021.

- I've got the triangle. - Yep.

- Package away. - Package away.

After detecting some strange radio frequency signals

high above the triangle,

we dropped bottles

with devices in them from Brandon's helicopter,

hoping to collect data between 5,000 feet

and the ground to see if we could pinpoint

- the source of the signals. - It looked like,

it pulled the bottle behind us.

- That makes no sense. - Makes no sense.

But several of them seemed to bounce off

of something invisible in midair,

and then we never found them again.

Did they bounce off of this bubble?

Look what Kaleb found!

What?

We dropped that three years ago,

610 meters that way over the triangle.

Three years ago.

Th-That's crazy, man.

- Good eyes. - Erik's gonna be excited.

Hey, Erik. You copy?

Yeah, Travis. Go ahead.

Man, you ain't gonna believe this.

Kaleb found one of the yellow bottles

that we dropped from the helicopter three years ago

just outside the bubble.

That's incredible.

Good find, guys.

All right, man, we're gonna head on across to the south field now

to keep on with the post exercise.

- Copy that. - Okay.

I have to say, it's almost surreal to find

this bottle that was dropped out of the helicopter

at about 5,000 feet

years after the actual experiment

on the edge of what we're calling the bubble.

How are we where we are right now, Erik?

You're right on top of it.

All right, man.

We're marking the spot. We're gonna dig

a hole, put a post in it.

I'm not really sure what mechanism

would transport the bottle

from the place where it was dropped

along that bubble to the very edge.

- Yeah. Yeah. - There we go.

I mean, it's...

it's such an improbable outcome.

This is it. Let's crown it

and get out of here.

Hey, Erik, I think we're gonna call it and head back.

All of you guys have done some amazing work.

You have landed every single one of those things

within a very tight margin.

Can't wait to see it from the sky.

I'm walking now with this GPS tracker,

so if you want to log it...

Hey, Travis!

What?!

You're not gonna believe this!

What is it?

Are you kidding me?

What is it?

Kaleb just found a bottle!

Another one?

Yeah!

It's just unbelievable.

First we find one of the missing GPS bottles

at the western boundary of the bubble

and then another one right outside the southern boundary.

It's like they literally hit the top of the bubble

and then slid down its barrier to land in these spots.

I mean, look at over there, look how far we are

from the center of the triangle

on top of the mesa, way over there.

How did that bottle get to here?

Look how far that is.

We put up 30 posts today

to mark the bubble's boundary on the ground

and made two incredible discoveries.

Now we need to do another experiment

to see if we can figure out what this invisible phenomenon is

and how it's able to deflect our instruments away from it.

It's been a long day.

We'll get your drone, we'll head back.

We're facing a potential problem.

- Right? -Yep. - Such as?

I'm hitting a layer that's almost harder

than granite.

How far in?

I'm about 130 feet in.

The next day, as we were getting ready

for a new experiment at the bubble,

the drillers called us out to the mesa

to see their progress in Borehole 2.

They got past that strange void

and drilled up to about the 130-foot level

through the sandstone.

But then, they hit an obstruction

that didn't sound at all like natural rock.

So, what do we do?

So, I'm trying to carve up through it,

but it's way harder than I was expecting to hit.

All right, man. Keep us posted on this.

- Yep. - And Thomas, if he sees anything in the spoils,

- make sure you let us know. - Will do.

- Just wanted to let you guys know. - Okay, guys.

All right, man.

Look at how much that pipe is flexing.

A lot of pressure.

After a couple hours of grinding away,

the drillers were able to get through the obstruction

and move forward.

Hey, Thomas, it's Chris.

This is Thomas. Go ahead.

So I got something over here you guys should take a look at

in the spoils.

All right, Chris, I'll let the guys know.

We'll head right over.

- Hey, guys, thanks for coming over. - What's going on, Chris?

I got something that you guys would probably

be interested in right here.

Well, I've been, sorting the spoils,

kind of looking at it a little bit closer,

broke out my magnet, and this is what I found.

Wait, what?

Son of a gun.

Yeah, it's very suspicious.

If you look closely at this one right here...

Man, look at this.

This looks just like what we pulled out before, Thomas.

Exactly the same.

We'll be collecting anything strange

that comes out of Borehole 2 for thorough testing.

But these metal pieces looked just like the ones

we found while drilling in the mesa three years ago

when we first identified the huge object buried in there.

And again, these metal pieces turned out to be very similar

to what NASA and SpaceX use

to protect the surfaces of spacecraft.

It looks layered to me.

Wow.

Like, there's multiple layers of different things.

If it is layered, what would that tell you?

Well, that means it's a manufactured material.

Did we just find more major clues

about what the drill just hit and what's buried

inside there?

We don't know yet, but we're dang sure glad

that we have Chris looking through all the spoils.

Th-That's jackpot right there, man.

That's-that's amazing, Chris.

- It's a needle in a haystack. - Absolutely.

Thanks. I'll look for more.

All right, well, stay with it,

and let us know if you find anything else that awesome.

Pete Kelsey, ladies and gentlemen.

- Hey, Pete. - How you doing, man?

Good to see you.

After marking the western boundary

of the bubble earlier in the day

and finding those two GPS bottles,

we asked lidar expert Pete Kelsey

to help us with an experiment

to learn more about the western boundary

out by Homestead Two.

Yeah, what's up for tonight?

We're standing not too far from that boundary of that bubble.

- Right. - You know, this is a spot

where we have seen that rocket freeze in the airspace

from the perspective of observers on the ground.

- That was here? - That... and it stayed there for, like,

six or seven seconds without moving.

Wow.

Last year, before we knew about the bubble,

we launched a rocket in this area

where we had detected a strange radio frequency signal

coming from somewhere up above the ranch.

And on its way down, the rocket froze

at a few hundred feet high for several seconds.

- Dude, it looks like it's stuck there. Look. - Yeah.

So, was that somehow related

to the western boundary of the bubble?

All right, so we're at the westernmost boundary

of the bubble for this experiment.

So, we've got just a few minutes of daylight left,

and I want to get this first launch before the sun goes down.

You know I'll be monitoring this part of the ranch

while we're doing all this.

So let me get out of here and let you guys

- get to work. - All right, let's get to work.

Let's go.

Tonight, Erik and I want to see what'll happen

if I launch a new rocket in that same place

near the western boundary of the bubble,

where the other one froze last year.

Whoa, the sun's sinking quick.

Meanwhile, Pete will run

his terrestrial lidar scanner on the ground,

which is what first detected the bubble earlier this year.

And Jim Royston is going to attempt to fly

his lidar drone through the barrier of the bubble

while looking out for anything strange

that would otherwise be invisible to our naked eyes.

Tracker's mounted, and we're ready to go.

Well, let's get everything in the air, and I'll launch

as soon as I see the drones in the sky.

Okay, guys, I'm gonna get up in the air.

I'm gonna do a scan.

While we work in the field

and I monitor my spectrum analyzer

for any strange signals...

- All right. - Erik will be watching us

on his surveillance cameras in the command center

and monitoring his own spectrum analyzer.

Hey, Erik,

Jim's drone is in the air and flying.

Copy that, Thomas.

I am data-logging the position of his drone.

He'll also be tracking

the real-time GPS data of Jim's drone,

looking out for any errors like we've seen

at other spots along the bubble's boundaries.

All right, everybody, the rocket is going hot.

Here we go, in five,

four, three,

two, one.

Look at how fast that thing's moving.

Beautiful!

It's going to exactly the right place!

Wow.

It's moving fast.

Crap.

The rocket's completely changed direction.

Hey, Thomas? I think that the rocket

made a turn when it got to about

the, the barrier wall

of the bubble, over Homestead Two.

- Now, that's interesting. - Yeah...

That's interesting.

It's like the bubble deflected it.

Well, the rocket didn't freeze this time,

but there was definitely a point when it suddenly veered away

from the believed boundary of the bubble,

which is something we've seen with other rockets

that got close to it.

What in the world is this thing?

How's your... Are you getting good connectivity?

No errors?

He's got errors already.

Right when you said that.

- Look at that. - Nice.

You getting errors? You losing it?

Right when I asked him, it popped up on the screen.

Yeah, it's... it lost everything.

Where was it at when you lost it?

Right over the barrier.

Yeah, it was.

Unbelievable.

That's interesting.

- What? - Look,

I'm getting a 1.2 gigahertz signal, y'all.

We're not transmitting.

- Look at that. - Whoa.

Hey, Erik, you copy?

Yeah, what's up?

1.2 gigahertz is going absolutely nuts.

Copy that. I'm gonna tune into that range.

You know, I'm seeing a strong 1.2 gigahertz signal.

My antennas show the signal is coming from the west,

somewhere near your location.

Copy that.

This was so creepy.

Erik had broadcast a 1.2 gigahertz signal

earlier this year just to monitor it for interference

during another experiment.

Something is strange going on here.

And then something on the ranch

appeared to clone it and broadcast

an identical signal back at us.

Since then, we've detected this signal over and over

while investigating the bubble.

It's like something related to it is trying to taunt us.

We don't have anything transmitting from on property.

- That's the middle of dirt. - That's... well, that's...

it's right down there on the edge of the bubble.

- Right where we put those posts. - It's right where we put those posts.

It sure is, Thomas.

- I'll fly the drone down. - Yes, yes. Can you?

- Yeah. - All right, man.

- If you can fly, we'll do it. - We'll get the thermal, yeah.

- I'm gonna go down there and look for it. All right. - Yeah.

I wanted to see if Jim's drone,

which is equipped with a lidar scanner,

could finally get through

the western boundary of the bubble

and pick up infrared images

of a potential invisible source of that signal.

All right, let's go.

I want to follow that drone over there.

So, you're approaching as...

- See the post right there? - Yeah.

So you're not quite to the bubble yet.

- There you are. - Look at this.

Be advised, I am seeing some of the GPS data corruption errors

as he's flown out, towards the edge of the bubble.

So, right when you get to the bubble wall,

your errors start popping up like crazy.

Well, you see that?

Every time I try to push through the barrier,

look what happens.

It's like it's pushing you back.

So, I'm literally trying to push through the barrier, right?

I'm right up against it.

He's trying to push the drone through the bubble,

and it won't go.

No kidding.

Yeah, look it. It's just right there.

That is crazy.

It's just stuck right there.

- That's crazy, dude. - That's freakin' nuts.

The drone is stuck in the air.

That is crazy.

It's just stuck right there.

I'm watching you try to fly forward,

- and then the camera starts shaking. - No, it's... yeah.

Like it's up against something.

We've been trying to figure out

what causes all the high strangeness on Skinwalker Ranch,

and it really looks like this huge, invisible bubble

could be the answer.

And its barrier is like a physical wall

that Jim Royston's lidar drone is bumping up against

as it tries to fly into it.

It's like he's being pushed back.

He can't get it to advance any further.

Guys, I'm seeing a pile of GPS error messages

with this drone.

Something's corrupted in the data, and it correlates

with what you guys are talking about.

- That's amazing. - That's nuts.

I'm almost out of...

communication here with it.

I'm gonna try to get it home.

We lost all communication. He's bringing it home.

Or it's bringing itself home.

That's crazy, man.

Erik, there's not much more we can do, then.

Why don't you head down and we'll wrap

this thing up?

Copy you, Travis. I'm on my way over.

Tonight is one of those nights on the ranch

that I won't forget anytime soon.

It showed us once again that the bubble is real.

And somehow it's able to stop our equipment

from going inside its boundaries

to figure out what it actually is.

All we can hope is that crunching the data

we collected tonight

might get us closer to an answer.

What a night.

What do you think about that barrier?

Well, you got to see a...

a recording of that drone just stuck there.

- It was the craziest thing. - Wow.

I think this turned out to be a fascinating experiment, guys.

And I think we've added more data to th-this bubble.

This barrier is something real.

- Amazing. All right. - Good night.

- Yeah, it was a good night. - Yeah.

Wait till you see the data

from last night's experiment.

Absolutely. It was...

just like something stopped my drone.

- Right. - Literally

pushing the joysticks as far forward...

It would not move.

- That's crazy. - Wow.

So, I've got the GPS tracker data for the drone.

Here we see the entire flight path.

Blue points are GPS points that report back good.

So, what are the orange dots?

So, those orange dots represent the posts

that we've put out at the edge of the bubble.

Right, I get it.

I'm gonna dive in.

Look at the red dots.

Let me rotate it.

Those are error points at the edge of the bubble.

First errors is at the frozen rocket spot,

and then the next big bunch of errors

is right as you enter the bubble.

Wow.

This is crazy.

The GPS data errors from the drone

started glitching right at about the same place

where our rocket froze midair last year.

And then the GPS data was completely corrupted

when Jim's drone bumped up against

the invisible barrier of the bubble.

It's like a literal wall

that stops both entry and data collection.

What the crap?

Next, I'm gonna ask you to walk us through

some of the video from the drone perspective.

Yeah, let's look at it.

Guys, you're not gonna believe this.

This is from right when you got stuck along the bubble barrier.

I mean, obviously, something looks wrong with this.

I'm seeing a horizon that's...

Why don't you freeze it first, Erik?

- Okay. - Now, Jim, why don't you go up there

- and tell us what it all means? - Yeah.

Here, this is the indicator right here,

though, my radio control is having problems.

So the controller that I'm using

is having trouble talking to the drone.

Something's interfering electromagnetically

with the drone.

At that same time,

we see that bundle of red GPS error points.

All right, and then the "H" is what?

This is my home.

Every time I leave the ground,

before I take off, it registers a GPS home point.

And it also tracks my distance from that point,

so it knows, if anything happens,

how to get right to home.

So, Jim, is this a good time

to let this continue to play?

- Yeah. Yeah, let's go ahead and play it. - Okay.

Look at the home, how it's going everywhere.

- It's even up in the sky. - That's crazy.

How did home ever get in the sky?

The drone's stuck, but yet

it's thinking the home point's changing.

At this point, the drone doesn't know where the hell it is.

Yeah.

Let me play it again, watch this number.

This is how far the drone currently is

from its takeoff location, from home.

Look here, that says 850 feet.

Which is pretty accurate.

What the hell?

So he's coming backwards.

Something pushed it backwards

to 645.

It went 200 feet back.

What did we just witness here?

Something pushed the drone back.

Did it get pushed back 200 feet?

Yeah, so, let's play that again.

As we're reviewing last night's camera data

from Jim Royston's drone,

it appears that the western boundary of the bubble

pushed the drone backwards about 200 feet

in just a couple of seconds.

That's not at all what we saw in the moment.

Is this the dang Twilight Zone?

What pushed the dad-gum drone 200 foot backwards?

That is not wind.

No. There's no way.

Do we have this on another angle by any chance?

Absolutely.

Okay, here we go.

Now we're looking from west of Homestead Two,

looking back towards the east.

Okay.

Would you rewind it real quick and kind of zoom in

to where you can get some airspace

- on the left side of the drone? - Yeah.

What?

Is anyone else seeing something over here?

All right, let me take it back. You point it out

when I, when I get to it, okay?

There it is.

I see a green flash.

I did see it. I did see it.

Frame through it, Erik.

See how long it stays there.

So, I'm gonna dive in.

- There it is. - There it is.

- Holy crap. Look at that. - Yeah, there's something

right next to the drone.

There is something absolutely right next to the drone.

A light that appeared there kind of following the drone.

What does that mean?

And we have the errors thrown by multiple systems

during the flight.

You're getting, messages coming back on your display.

I'm getting data corruption at very specific locations

during the course of the flight.

So many crazy things happened

in a short period of time last night

along the western barrier of the bubble.

We had the strange 1.2 gigahertz signal that we detected,

the rocket and GPS malfunctions,

and something pushed the drone back 200 feet.

Could this UAP have been connected

to all these things?

You know, I-I don't know what else to say about it

other than we need to keep studying this bubble.

- Right. -I love it. - Yeah.

Well, if nothing else,

this certainly makes me want to return

to that part of the ranch.

- Absolutely. - Yeah, I agree.

- Thank you, guys. - Yep.

Well, that was a deep dive, wasn't it?

It's unbelievable.

We have what appears to be the confirmation

of some kind of 2,000-foot-radius structure

above the ranch.

Something that is potentially energetic,

that can sometimes result in data loss

on some of our equipment.

I'm still trying to sort out

what could be responsible for that.

Every method that we've used to study this bubble

has led us to something new that defies expectation.

I know it sounds crazy,

but the data keeps showing that it is real

and it correlates with a lot of other phenomena

that makes no sense.

We need to figure out what the hell this thing is

and what it's doing here on Skinwalker Ranch.

What we are seeing shouldn't be possible.

That phenomenon that we refer to as the bubble

continues to be mapped with diligence.

Pressing forward with the next series of experiments

as we enter and exit the bubble

will be more important than ever before.

As we look to the future,

we hope to find even greater insight and answers

about what is happening at Skinwalker Ranch.

Lasers are up.

I'm just hitting the bubble barrier.

Dude,

it looks like you just flew through something.

What?

Hey, guys, that laser just went out.

I-I don't understand it.

I took this picture.

Something flying through the laser beam.

What's beeping?

My God, we're getting huge gamma rays.

- Guys, it's going off! - Everybody out now!
