All language subtitles for Mystery at Blind Frog Ranch S05 E03

[narrator reading]

[man] Holy [bleep]!

[narrator] ...The team doubled
their efforts to get inside

the keyhole treasure chamber
and find the gold.

[Chad] You guys attack
from the north side

and we'll try to attack this
from the south side.

We'll see who gets
in the keyhole chamber first.

[narrator] They made
a deadly radioactive discovery
under the energy zone.

-[beeping]
-It's highly
radioactive uranium.

[Duane] Let's get the [bleep]
out of here.

[man] John! Shut it down!

[narrator] But then,

Chad located a series
of Aztec stone markers...

[Chad] Is this not a bear
guarding the cave?

[narrator] ...that led
to an ancient gold cache
in a cave.

[man] They look more like
a counting system.

Each one of these
is an actual ingot in itself.

So if this is a big receipt,
where's the gold?

[narrator]
But a mysterious intruder

threatens the team's quest
for the gold.

[Charlie] He is digging
something up right across
from the damn tent.

Holy [bleep]!

What the [bleep]?

[narrator] Legends
of ancient treasures...

This has to be
hundreds of years back.

[narrator] ...and unexplained
phenomena...

-What the hell is that?
-[narrator] ...meet
at a 160-acre property

in northeast Utah
known as Blind Frog Ranch

where Duane Ollinger
and his team

are digging in search
of long-lost Aztec gold.

[man] The Aztecs
have discovered this?

[narrator] But the closer
they get...

I finally get to hold
[bleep] gold in my hand.

[narrator] ...the more
the land fights back.

-Where's your mask?
-God! [bleep] God!

[narrator] Now Duane
will move heaven...

-There you go!
-[narrator] ...and earth...

Fire in the hole!

[narrator] ...until he gets
to the bottom
of this mystery...

[Duane] We've started
this whole deal

and we're sure as hell
gonna finish it.

[narrator] ...and solves
what's lurking below...

Holy [bleep]! There's
something in there! [bleep]!

God!

[narrator]
...at Blind Frog Ranch.

[Charlie] Well,
I got an alert.

There was a vehicle
on the south road coming in

and they was pulling
a trailer.

There was no markings
that I could see on the truck.

-[Duane] Coming across
our property?
-Yeah.

They come off the mountain
up there

and came down
and just dropped the trailer
right over here.

Then they left
the way they came in.

So I wanna go down here
and look at this
and see what it is.

[Duane]
That's somebody's gear...

They're not on the property,

but they damn sure are sitting
on the right of way.

[Charlie] You know,
I don't know what it is.

Look at all that crap on it.

-[Duane] Pretty expensive
piece of equipment.
-Yep.

It has a license plate,
Charlie boy.

-Brand-new trailer, Charlie.
-Brand-new trailer.

I patrol the ranch
every morning

and I come down here
and they got this
white trailer

right on the edge
of our ranch.

There's all kinds of [bleep]
right here.

Look at all them [bleep] wires
that are coming out.

They even got the wheel
locked down here, Charlie.
Look at that.

I'm not sure what that
round thing is up there.

[Duane] Solar panels.

So they don't
need electricity.

See, that's a camera.

They're looking at everything
coming and going.

Fence lines
not over 100 yards away.

They're monitoring
something here.

[narrator] The suspicious
white trailer

sits just outside
the property line
of Blind Frog Ranch

on a location owned
by the Bureau
of Land Management.

The appearance
of the white trailer

marks the second time
in less than a week

-that trespassers have invaded
the ranch.
-[Charlie] Holy [bleep].

[narrator] Days earlier,

an armed figure removed
a large metal cylinder
from the property.

You know,
whoever put this here,

they're seeing everything
we're doing.

[Duane] No doubt.

Something ain't right.

[man] Hey, guys.
Can I ask you to step away
from the trailer, please?

[Duane] I hear something.

[Charlie] What the hell
is this?

[man] Yeah, just step away
from the trailer, please.

Hello?

Can I help you gentlemen?

You guys just put them
things out there
anywhere you want or what?

According to our records,

this side of the road
is state property.

[Charlie]
What is this trailer for?

This is a federal program
to monitor cloud seeding.

[Charlie] "Cloud seeding."

[Duane] No, this ain't right.

Is that a live camera?

Huh?

And you're filming
our ass right now.

Can't move the trailer.
You're gonna be
breaking the law.

[distorts]

[Charlie] Hello?

[Duane] You know, in Texas,

if you're downwind
and something
smells like a skunk

and looks like one,
it's a [bleep] skunk.

[Charlie] Cloud seeding.

This is more than [bleep].

[both] Something ain't right.

They say it's some kind of
a cloud seeding vehicle
but that's all [bleep].

They are out here
monitoring something.

...on our property.

And then somebody parks
a damn trailer out there

and makes an excuse
to have it out there.

They're not telling us
the truth.

You know, every time
we find a new discovery,

somebody shows up
and starts messing with us.

There's no way
that's a coincidence.

What I think is they need to

stay the [bleep]
off the property.

We need to find out
who these people are

and what they're watching
on the ranch.

[Chad] What's going on?

Well, here's the deal, fellas.

We got a trailer sitting
on our right of way.

And they're watching
the ranch.

It's got GPS.

It's got wires running
all through it and everything.

It's got cameras
looking at everything
coming and going.

It has a speaker on it.

They tell me
that they're cloud seeding.

But I don't buy that
cloud seeding [bleep].

[narrator] Cloud seeding
refers to the release

of chemicals
into the atmosphere

to trigger snow or rainfall.

[Duane] Well, there's
two things right here

that cylinder that they pull

and then we got a trailer
on the south end

of the property
that's high level.

We got to stop down
the treasure hunt

and figure out
what these people
are monitoring

and find out
what they're up to.

Yeah.

[Chad] It's kind of
frustrating that we have
to break off

from finding
this cavern system

to dealing with this intruder.

I mean, I don't know
what these guys are up to
out here,

but it's not good for us.

It threatens everything
we've done here
for the past 17 years.

So we need to know
what the [bleep] is going on.

This takes priority.

[Eric] So, yeah,
maybe we start

by looking
at that cylinder hole

-that they pulled out.
-[man] Is it still there?

-Perhaps take
some samples, look at 'em.
-Yep.

We just need to find out
what the [bleep] is going on.

Yeah.

[Duane speaking]

There it is.

[narrator] Looking for clues

as to who the intruders are

and what they're doing
on the ranch,

Eric is examining the hole

left behind
by the stolen cylinder.

[Eric] What I'm gonna do
is take a composite sample.

Later we'll take a look
at that in the lab.

What I'm hoping to find
is some kind of trace or clue

of what either that cylinder
was made out of

or what the power source is.

Maybe we can find that
in the samples.

Yeah.

There's some tiny
silver metal particles
in here.

They've got
a really high luster.

There's no rust.

That means this thing
is probably made out
of a steel alloy

or maybe even titanium.

It appears that
this is the only hole
right here.

No trenching.

No solar panels.

It looks like this is it.

I got an idea.

There's no sign
of an external power source
for this cylinder.

That should do it.

Yes.

We know this thing's
been in the ground
for at least three months.

Perhaps years.

I mean, the only thing I know
of that keeps power that long

is something nuclear.

This is what you think it is.

It's a Geiger counter.

[narrator] Geiger counters
are equipped
with a gas-filled tube

that ionizes when exposed
to radiation

creating
a measurable electrical pulse

that triggers a clicking sound
from the device.

[Eric] And you'll find
trace amounts of radioactivity
here and there.

Background levels,
they call it.

I'm getting
a little bit here and there,
but nothing special.

And I'll go in and check
the interior of it here.

[beeping]

Holy [bleep]!

[bleep]!

This is highly radioactive.
Wow.

Holy [bleep].

There's a radioactive source
in the ground.

All right, everybody,
let's just move away
from this.

Everybody back up, please.

I wanna keep the crew safe.

Let's get the hell
out of here.

Eric, what the hell
are you talking
about here, bud?

[narrator] That evening,
Eric meets with Duane
and the team

to share his findings
about the cylinder hole.

Duane, we've got
a nuclear source on site here.

Say that again?

It appears the cylinder
has nuclear material in it.

We picked it up
on the Geiger counter,

and it's definitely
radioactive.

[narrator] After analyzing
the dirt
that housed the cylinder,

Eric believes the capsule
was powered

by a nuclear source

that would allow it
to capture data for years.

Probably a small bead
of plutonium,

something they use
to do these atomic clocks,
and they power satellites.

Just need a small bead.

This machine doesn't lie.
It's nuclear.

[narrator] Plutonium
is a radioactive isotope

first harvested
by the U.S. government
in the 1940s

in the development
of the atomic bomb.

It was the explosive force
used in the Fat Man,

the bomb dropped
on Nagasaki, Japan,
during World War II.

But since has been repurposed
as a source of nuclear energy.

So, being nuclear,

that thing could
potentially run
for a long time.

[Eric] Oh, yeah.

It could power it easily
for several years.

How would they even get
nuclear material?

Maybe military? I don't know.

Son of a bitch.

I mean,
that stuff is regulated.

I mean, plutonium, uranium,
it's highly regulated.

[Duane] I think
we're gonna have to get

somebody in here
that specializes in this.

Let's find out
what the [bleep] is going on.

[Duane] Hey, Ryan, pull you up
a chair there, bud.

What do you got going on?

You know, if that cylinder
has plutonium in it,

that narrows this down
quite a bit.

It's gotta be
a government agency

or some contractor
that works for them.

They don't get that stuff out
like cookies.

So I asked Ryan Skinner
to come out.

Ryan's been studying
secret government programs

out here, even the Flats.

And he will help us find out
what these people are up to.

[narrator] Skinner has spent
19 years

uncovering the truth
behind the nearby
Skinwalker Ranch

and other covert
U.S. military operations
in the Uinta Basin.

Duane hopes Ryan
can help him determine

what the mysterious cylinder
was recording

and who placed it
on his property.

You know, Ryan, we had
an intruder on the ranch.

The poachers again, or...?

No. Charlie boy, show 'em.

[Ryan] Where is this?

[Charlie] Right across
from the old miners' shack

and right on the side
of the road right there.

Have you seen anything
like this over there
at the Skinwalker Ranch?

Yeah, I saw a caravan
of vehicles
exactly like that one.

Black SUVs without plates
on them coming into
and out of the ranch.

The military fatigues
look identical

to what they were wearing
back at security on the ranch.

And I've seen operators
like this before.

-Over there at the Skinwalker?
-Yeah.

Have you ever heard of any
of the Skinwalker Ranch
employees

running tests
somewhere else, like out here?

They were doing experiments
all over the basin.

I know the government
was involved.

Whatever is happening,

it's not just happening
at one ranch.

It's not obeying
property lines.

It's all throughout the basin.

[narrator]
For the past 60 years,

the U.S. government
has conducted

covert paranormal experiments
throughout the Uinta Basin,

including a now-famous
UFO study

that was conducted
by the Pentagon
on Skinwalker Ranch.

So you think maybe this
was part of that experiment?

Good question.

Whatever's happening here,

it could be a part of that.

Everyone's heard the stories
about secret
government programs.

But what's different now,
is they're coming
onto my land.

I wanna know who they are
and what the hell
they're doing here.

You know people over there
at the Skinwalker Ranch.

Could you see if they know
anything about this?

Yeah, there's some
old contacts out there.

I know somebody I think
that might be able to help.

His name's Dr. Segala.

He's a physicist.

I mean, I have no idea
what this thing is.

But let's find out.

Damn right. Bring it on.

Everybody,
this is Dr. Jim Segala.

-How you doing, guys?
-[Charlie] Hey, Jim.

We're gonna want to hear
what he has to say.

[Chad] Yeah, for sure.

[narrator] With plans
to find the underground tunnel
on hold,

Duane and the team are focused

on uncovering the mystery
behind the recent incursions
on the ranch

and are meeting
with physicist Dr. Jim Segala,

hoping he can shed some light
on what this device
is used for.

My background is
fabricating specialized
electronic equipment

to read very delicate signals.

I have a PhD in physics.

I have a master's degree
in engineering.

I've been investigating
these type of things
for probably 20 years.

[narrator] Dr. Jim Segala
conducted
several investigations

at the legendary
Skinwalker Ranch,

as well
as a three-year investigation

into unusual phenomena
in the Uinta Basin.

We've got evidence
of somebody coming out here,
digging up

some sort of
unknown technology
underground.

We don't know what it is,
and I think you might be able

to identify or help us
figure out what's going on
in this tape.

Yeah, I'd love to.

So I have the video
right here.

Have you seen anything
like this,
like this cylinder like this?

[Jim] Oh, that's interesting.

That could be one of those
seismic geophones

that are self-powered
that can last for a while.

-Like months on end or--
-[Jim] Yeah.

Well, they put them up
in mountains and stuff
like that to monitor.

A few years ago, I designed
a piece of equipment
very similar to that

and actually deployed out
to many subterranean holes

and caves
and things like that.

Well, what would it be here
to monitor?

[Jim] So it monitors
microwave energy.

It monitors gamma energy.

It monitors
the gravitational vectors.

It could be something
as simple as looking

for seismic activity
in this area.

I mean, have you guys heard
of Gravity Base Vernal?

Uh, I'm not super familiar.

This is very similar
to the equipment
they deployed out there.

Is that right?

And with Gravity Base Vernal
so close to here,

you know,
it gives you pause to say,

is that what this guy
pulled out of the ground?

[narrator] According
to recently declassified
government documents,

Gravity Base Vernal
was a geological survey base

just miles
from Blind Frog Ranch
at the nearby McCoy Flats.

According to the records,

the government installation
was initially used

by the U.S. Geological Survey
to monitor seismic activity.

Sometime in the mid-'70s,

the observatory
was suddenly commandeered

by NASA
and the Central
Intelligence Agency.

What they were using
the array for was unknown.

But not long after,

the entire site
was disassembled

taking the mystery
of what they found with them.

Now, Dr. Sagala believes
that geophones

similar to the cylinder

were used
at Gravity Base Vernal.

[Jim] Maybe the cylinder
is one of those
seismic monitors.

Here's the deal, James.

You and Chad
go to the McCoy Flats

and let's see
what the hell's going on.

Let's see if we can find
another cylinder

that looks like
what they pulled.

Jim Sagala is saying
this cylinder could be

some kind of a seismic device.

The squirrelly part about
this whole deal is that

NASA and the CIA
took this program over.

They don't care
about earthquakes,

so what are they looking at?

They don't do nothing
for the hell of it.

Let's find out
what the [bleep] is going on.

Right.

[Chad] So how far is it?

When we turn off
to McCoy Flats,
it's another six miles.

[narrator] Following
Dr. Sagala's suggestion,

Chad and James
are on their way

to the former site
of Gravity Base Vernal.

They hope to find evidence
of the mysterious cylinder

that Dr. Sagala believes
was a geophone
and sensor array.

It's right up here
on the left.

-Let's check it out, huh?
-Yeah.

Look at this.

This is a door hinge.

[James] Door hinges, yeah.

Why would this be
in the middle of nowhere
like this?

Unless there was
a building here.

[Chad] Huh.

[James] Look,
this is the path.

It's just covered up
with gravel.

You know, everything
has just been taken away.

There's obviously platforms
where there were buildings
on top of it that are gone.

-[James] Look at this.
-Oh, that's an anchor.

[James] It's an anchor.
They would have anchored
the telescope to this.

-[Chad] See what we can find.
-[James] Yeah,
see what we can find.

[metal detector beeping]

Even all the way out here,
there's still part
of the building.

-[Chad] Is there?
-It's fencing.

I just found a bullet.

[James] It's just going
all the way out.

They've just cut
all the poles.

I'm gonna head out
more this way.

We're finding different
footers for buildings.
I mean, concrete.

We're finding, like,
big wires.

And they had
high-voltage electricity.

So they definitely had some
big infrastructure
around here.

Looks like it's to the
outside of a building.

[Chad] But so far,
there's no sign of another one
of those cylinders.

-[James] All right, I'm gonna
head that way.
-[Chad] All right.

[detector beeping]

There's [bleep] all over here.

[James] What the hell is this?

Hey, Chad.

[Chad] Yeah.

Come here and look at this.

What the hell is this?

What the [bleep] is that?

-[James] Hey, Chad.
-[Chad] Yeah.

Come here and look at this.

What the hell is this?

What is it?

It's magnetic tape.

-[Chad] It's like...
-[James] Look, it's still got
the [bleep] tape in it.

[Chad] This is wild.

[narrator] In the earliest
days of computing,

magnetic tape was the primary
method of storing data,

but it was eventually
phased out in the 1980s

with the advent
of digital storage.

[James] This was probably
to record data.

What the hell is this?

[Chad] What is that?

Maybe these are the tops
of this magnetic tape.

It says something on here.

It's like stamped. It says...

...uh, G-R, Gree,
something Gree.

Greeley and DuPont.

I don't know. Is that a person
or a place?

That's something
to check in on.

[Chad] Nice find, James.

It's really great
to find that magnetic tape.

Whatever is on it is data.

We might be able to get
some information
on who was here,

what was that cylinder
and what they were
doing with it.

[Chad] I wonder what else
is out there?

So they came off the south end
of our property.

Yeah, they came down
that mountain over there,
the southeast corner of it.

-[Duane] They act like
they own this damn place.
-[Charlie] Yep.

[narrator] After recent
intrusions from outsiders,

Blind Frog Ranch
is on high alert.

While the rest of the team
patrols the perimeter
of the Ranch,

Ryan is hoping to get insight
into who's behind
the geophone

secretly installed
on their land.

[Ryan] Hey, Jeremy,
thanks for, uh,
making the time to talk to us.

[Jeremy] No worries.
No worries.

[narrator] He's turned
to Air Force veteran
Jeremy McGowan.

Jeremy's military career
and current role

as a civilian
defense contractor,

makes him uniquely qualified
to assess possible covert
military operations

that could be taking place
on the Ranch.

So what do you think's
going on in that video?

Who do you think
those people are?

[Jeremy] Looking at it,
you've got two or three good
solid possibilities.

One, it's a military
or paramilitary type
of operation.

Two, it could be
a civilian contractor,
private security.

But the way that he came in,
went straight for the GPS
unit in his hand,

he knew what he was
looking for.

It could be
a private defense contractor's
personal security.

It could be the DOD
or an intelligence agency.

So what do you think
our next step should be

to figure out
who put this here?

Well, I want to put you
in contact with a guy

that may be more tuned
into this than I am.

This is somebody that knows
about domestic
United States technology.

He is not going to go
on camera.

He will get in contact
with you.

[Ryan] Jeremy is connecting me
with somebody who worked on

a secret government program
in the area.

He's deep on the inside,
and I've got to be very
cautious dealing with him.

I'll reach out to him.
I'll make the introduction.

Please let me know whatever
it is that you find out.

I want to know
what's going on.

All right, we'll keep
you updated.

-Hey, I appreciate it.
Thank you.
-[Ryan] Thanks.

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

Boy, we found
some cool [bleep]
at that NASA site.

Let's go see what you got.

[narrator] Chad and James
have returned from a former
NASA research site

at McCoy Flats.

They were searching for clues
on who was behind
the geophone

dug up on their ranch
a few nights ago
by a trespasser.

So what did you find, fellas?
Did you find anything like
those cylinders.

We didn't find the cylinder,
but we did find tons of stuff.

I mean our metal detectors
were going nonstop.

It was a government place,
for sure.

We think this is the most
important thing that we found.

It's like old film.

-Look at this. There's
even like...
-[Charlie] A real reel.

-[James] Magnetic tape.
-A reel that they did
recording with.

This looks like some type
of poly crystalline
metallic film.

Right.

What would that record?

It could be recording
like data on there.

But unfortunately,
it looks highly oxidized.

-I highly doubt you can pull
any information off of it.
-Damn.

[James] And then
there was a name.

Two names. We don't know
if it was like a person
or a place.

-Greeley, DuPont.
-Yeah, Greeley and DuPont.

A search on that day.

[narrator] James is searching
a FOIA database
for information

on the magnetic tape names
Greeley and DuPont.

FOIA stands for the Freedom
of Information Act,

a law that provides many
formerly classified documents
at the request of US citizens.

Surprisingly, his search
returns dozens
of declassified documents,

referencing the two names
and gravity base Vernal.

[James] I think
I found something.

I'm going to put it up
on the screen.

It looks like Greeley
and DuPont is actually
Greeley and Dumont.

They're not people.

They're code names...

-...for nuclear bomb tests.
-Really?

[James] So initially
they're listening
for nuclear bomb blasts.

But then they start focusing
in on the sky above instead.

They're talking about
unknown craft up in the skies
above Uinta Basin.

So what the hell
does that mean?

In your research
who still owns that property?

From the looks of the data,
the USGS turned everything

over to NASA
in the early 1970s.

[narrator] The report
that James has uncovered

details a government
research program
operated by NASA,

studying ground vibrations
from nuclear blasts,

but then shifted to studying
acoustic signals
coming from the sky.

[James] Check this out.

The United States Air Force
was here too.

You know, maybe
they're listening
to experimental aircraft.

Maybe the whole thing is like
a Department of Defense
operation.

I mean, this rabbit hole
just keeps on getting deeper.

[Duane] Let's talk to Ryan
tomorrow when he gets back

-and see what he found out.
-100%.

[Ryan] I just got a call
from a guy who was referred
to me by Jeremy McGowan.

Gave me coordinates,
and he wants to meet me
at a very specific place.

He knows where these local
government experiments
are happening,

and he can help me figure out
who put the cylinder
on Blind Frog.

[narrator] In his quest
to learn who is behind

the geophones buried
on the ranch,

Ryan Skinner has arranged
a meet up with a secretive
inside source.

These are the coordinates,
and he said it was going to be
an empty lot.

This is probably it.

Now we wait.

This is probably him.

Here we go.

Thanks for meeting me
out here.

-So, like, what's on here?
-Look...

I'm taking a huge risk
doing this.

You got everything you need
on there?

I wish I could tell you more.

[Ryan] Yeah, I get it.

I mean, that was crazy.

He didn't want to talk.

He didn't want to tell me
who he was, who he works for.

He gave me this, though.

What is that?

Contractor report.

[narrator] The documents
on the flash drive
are old equipment lists

for the government
research contractor
Bigelow Aerospace.

[Ryan] Bigelow contractors,

they were actually doing
experiments out here.

[narrator] Bigelow Aerospace
is a spacecraft research
and development company

founded by entrepreneur
Robert Bigelow,

the owner of Skinwalker Ranch
from 1996 to 2016,

when it was part
of a government-backed
testing program

searching for UAPs
that was overseen
by the Pentagon.

Seismic booms.

-[Ryan] Hey, guys.
-[Duane] Hey, Ryan.

-Pull you up
a chair there, bud.
-[Charlie] Ryan.

So what did you find
out there?

I contacted a local, uh,
friend, and, uh, this got
very interesting, guys.

[narrator] The informant
gave him a flash drive

containing sensitive
documents,

old equipment lists
for the government contractor,
Bigelow Aerospace,

a spacecraft research
and development company.

There were records
of equipment deliveries
linked to Bigelow contractors.

Equipment that sounds exactly
like these cylinders.

Really?

There seems to be a definite
link between Bigelow
and this strange cylinder.

So this is really interesting.

Skinner was able to get hold
of a shipping manifest
from Bigelow Aerospace

showing that they
took possession

of something very similar
to that cylinder

that was pulled out
of the ground here
at Blind Frog Ranch.

So you're saying right now
that Blind Frog Ranch

is part of a secret
government program?

There's a definite link
between the two.

This could have been placed
before you
on the ranch out here.

I think the evidence
is pointing to a secret
government program

that, uh, Bigelow used
to have over there
on the Skinwalker Ranch.

I'd like to know who they are
and what they're looking for.

I think we need to get
Dr. Segala back out here.

You know, show him
everything we learned.

Yeah, give him a call.
Bring him out here.
It'll be great.

Bring him here.

Hi, Jim.

-Hello, Jim.
-Good to see you again.

[narrator] Dr. Segala
has returned to the Ranch

to hear what the team
has discovered.

I want to find out
what you did
and what you've seen

and what you felt.
That's really important.

[narrator] The team shares
that the geophone cylinder

had been placed there by a now
defunct Department of Defense
contractor...

...and that the nearby
gravity base Vernal,

which used similar devices,
had been tracking

unknown phenomena
in the skies above Utah.

The new information
gives Dr. Segala an idea

of how to determine
what the cylinder
was monitoring.

From things that I've heard,
I think we could figure out

what the heck
he was trying to measure.

-Wow.
-If you could,
that's going to be amazing.

So, a few years ago,
I designed
a piece of equipment

very, very similar
to that cylinder.

So it monitors
microwave energy.

It monitors gamma energy.

It monitors
the gravitational vectors.

I propose actually
taking my equipment,

put it exactly where
that cylinder came out,

and then we'll take
all sorts of readings

and try to duplicate
what they were reading.

We have to understand
what these people
monitoring the Ranch here

are looking for.

So Jim Segala is going
to put his sensory device

in the same hole
where the cylinder was

and find out what
they were looking for.

That's exactly what we need.
I think that'd be perfect.

Good. Let's do it.

-Here's the power cord
you wanted.
-Thank you.

I gotta plug it
into the generator.

[narrator] Dr. Segala
is preparing to place
his sensor array

in the hole left
by the stolen cylinder.

It will record any changes
in the levels
of electromagnetic

and nuclear radiation,

as well as any light radio
or acoustic waves
passing through the area.

[Jim] It will look
for any anomalies.

It has a little AI engine
in there,

so it'll take
the sensor reading
from the gamma rays,

electromagnetic rays, GPS.

Then I know
that there's something
physically going on here.

I'm ready to rock and roll.

Just put it in the hole
and let us start
collecting data.

I want to duplicate whatever
data they were getting
as best I can.

And if I can figure out
what they were looking for,

maybe we can indicate
what's going on in this area.

Nice and gentle.

I think we're good.

-Great.
-Let's come back tomorrow.

All right, Jim.
I'll go buy you a beer, man.

-Thanks.
-[laughs]

In the Air Force,
I saw something
that should not have existed.

[narrator] A 2023 study
from the University of Utah

concluded that the state
has one of the highest rates

of UFO sightings
in the country.

And many of those sightings
have occurred
disturbingly close

to American
military installations.

While some can be attributed
to high-tech aircraft
and government experiments,

other lights in the sky
have left even military
experts flummoxed.

In 2020,
the US Defense Department

declassified the Tic Tac,
Gimbal and Go Fast videos.

These encounters
were caught on camera

-by US fighter pilots
on three separate occasions.
-[pilot chatter on radio]

[narrator] To this day,
no logical explanation

has been given for these
otherworldly sightings.

[James] Jim, did you find
anything out last night?

Well, I went and I took
this device out of the ground
that we buried last night.

-Yeah.
-[Jim] And it's very
significant data.

And there's no doubt
that there's something really
interesting going on.

Let's see it.

Yeah, fire away.

[narrator] Dr. Segala
has called the team together
to review the results

of his overnight experiment
at the cylinder hole.

Basically, these are
the kind of wave forms
that you would see normally.

-So these are baselines.
-[Jim] These are basically
pretty much baselines

of an area that's pretty inert
and not a lot is going on.

-It's just sitting there,
taking data all day long.
-Okay.

Your data for that day
looks like this.

-Whoa. That's nothing alike.
-Those spikes, though.

[Jim] Yes, around
9:00 o'clockish,
we put it in the hole

As soon as it went
in the hole,

you can see here
the magnetic field
started oscillating

about every hour
it went up and down.

And haven't ever
really seen that happen

in a very short
period of time.

[Chad] What causes
this, though?

Something that perturbed
the magnetic field.

There was something above it
flying around

that made this thing jump.

Something pretty powerful.

-Jetliners can't do it.
Drones can't do it.
-No.

There's not anything
that you know of
that can actually do that,

except something energetic,
maybe like a UFO sighting.

So, Jim, are you talking
about UFO's?

That's what I'm thinking.

I think we're in
over our heads on this still.

I mean, this area
is a hotspot.

Out here at night,
you start seeing
all kinds of crazy stuff.

But for you to back this up
with the data just is wild.

Yeah. And I have another
interesting picture.
I want you guys to see this.

Now, this is sound.

Now, during
that period of time,

there was a whole
bunch of sound.

Something was going on
along the ground.
It was like shaking it.

That sound is coming
from below,

and it might have an answer
for the rumble

that you've been hearing
on the property.

Are you saying
that we have anomalies

below ground and above ground
here at the Ranch?

Yes, you've got anomalies
happening underground
in the form of rumblings

and above ground in the form
of electromagnetic energy.

Huh.

So Jim Segala monitored
some huge electric anomaly
coming from the sky

that we know was not
an airplane or a helicopter.

And it was every hour
on the hour.

It was almost like
a heartbeat from the sky.

And then in response
to all this stuff,

there was like a vibration
from the ground.

So what do I think about it?

I think it has to do something
with, uh, UFOs.

And the only reason I think
any of this is plausible,

is 'cause I've seen [bleep]
out here that doesn't make
any sense.

[man] Look at that there,
right there.

So I believe from this data
that you've got

some very strange things
going on in this Ranch.

Lots of people have seen UFOs
or UAPs, whatever the hell
you want to call them.

Hell, I've seen stuff
with my own eyes

that I damn sure
couldn't explain.

The fact that the government's
watching this still

definitely puts it in
a new light.

[Chad] Now that we know
that an intruder isn't trying
to steal our treasure,

we can get back on the hunt
for a way to get into
the underwater cavern system.

I know my dad wants to find
this gold just as bad as I do.

And I want to be the one
to tell him that we finally
found that treasure.

I'm not stopping until I find
that gold.

Y'all in?

-You bet.
-We're with you.

-Let's get out there
and let's see what we've got.
-[Chad] Okay.

[narrator] Next time
on Blind Frog Ranch...

There could be an entrance
to a cave here.

[narrator]
...continuing their search
for an opening

into the treasure chamber.

This looks like it could be
a fire ground.

[narrator] They uncover a dark
and violent past.

That means there's something
of value here.

Something worth dying over.

This is like deadly weapons
or obsidian blades

or specifically used
for ceremonial purposes.

[narrator]
While an old friend...

-Look at this. It's one
of our Blind frogs.
-[bleep]

Two more frogs.

[narrator] ...shows them
a path into the underground.

With shocking results.

-[man] Whoa!
-Whoa!

[bleep]
