[Travis] Yeah!

[Kaleb] Hey, we got
a light right there.

[Thomas] What the heck is that?

[Travis] Where's the rest
of the rocket?

Look at this.

That's a 500-pound cord.

It should not break like that.

I want to get your eyes
on the big screen here.

Notice this appears in the sky.

You may have caught
whatever caused

the rocket to tear itself apart.

[Erik] I'm just going
to play through it.

[Travis] What in the world
is that?

[Erik] We have this cold zone
above the mesa.

Why is it only in
that part of the sky?

-[Travis] That absolutely
doesn't belong. -[Pete] Nope.

[Travis] What in the hell
is that?

[Narrator] 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.

[Travis] Right there!
We got something!

[Narrator] 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...

[Travis] 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.

[Travis] Hey, what ya got there?

It's a sled for inserting
instruments into Borehole 1.

-[Thomas] Wow.
-[Sam] The sled is meant to be

like an empty train
with all the cars

that you can put whatever
you want in it

-and it transports it.
-[Erik] Mm-hmm.

So it's gonna help us understand
what's inside the mesa

and see what's in there.

[Travis] Oh, that's awesome.

[Thomas] That's gonna
come in handy

-when the drillers get here.
-[Sam] Yep.

[Travis] We're just
one week away

from beginning a new drilling
operation to find out

what the heck is buried
inside the mesa

here on Skinwalker Ranch.

Thanks to ground-penetrating
radar,

we know there's something
about 400 feet long

and possibly made of metal
inside it.

It's also surrounded
by other smaller objects.

We've drilled two
horizontal boreholes

on either side of this thing.

[Kaleb] Look at that thing.

[Thomas] Half that tooth
is gone.

[Travis] The drill got destroyed
in Borehole 2

when it hit something
incredibly hard

at about 470 feet
inside the mesa.

This is also where we found
ceramics which had properties

similar to the heat shields
on NASA spacecraft.

[Erik] That's manufactured,
guys.

[Travis] While we couldn't
finish Borehole 2,

we were able to drill
all the way through the mesa

in Borehole number 1.

So Sam and Erik want to run
two scanning devices

all the way down
through Borehole 1.

Hopefully, we'll be
able to get more information

to help us pick targets for
when we start the much larger,

vertical drilling operation

down through the top
of the mesa.

So what all instruments
are on there?

[Sam] Well, one
is a magnetometer.

The second is
an impedance sensor.

And we can't run them
at the same time.

So we'll make multiple runs.

Yeah. Well, I love everything
about this.

I say we get some UTVs,
get up there and get started.

-Yep.
-All right, Thomas and I

-will jump in the Jeep. See you
in a bit. -[Erik] Awesome.

[Travis] Last year,
we lined Borehole 1

with about 600 feet of PVC pipe.

We also installed
a pulley and a rope that starts

at the top of the mesa and leads
all the way down to the bottom.

We'll be able
to use that system today

by mounting
our instruments on a sled

and then moving it up
and down through the borehole.

[beeping]

We have to operate it by hand,

so Thomas and I will stay
at the bottom of the mesa

to pull the rope
while Sam, Jim and Erik

feed it down from the top.

[Erik] Ready to fire
this thing up?

Yeah, I'll get it connected,
get everything rolling

and let them know
it's ready to go down.

We don't know how close
the borehole actually is

to the object
we believe is buried in there.

So we're hoping that,
by doing this experiment,

we'll get some clarity
about where exactly it might be.

[Sam] Ready to turn it on
when you're ready.

[Erik] Okay.

[on walkie-talkie] Hey,
Travis, you got a copy?

Yeah, Erik, go ahead.

We're about to activate

the-the payload on this sled
and send it down.

[Travis on walkie-talkie]
All right, let's do it.

[Sam] Okay, I'm going to put
it in the hole.

[Travis] The first instrument
we wanted to run

was the magnetometer.

Okay, Thomas, the sled
is going into the pipe

if you want to start pulling.

[Travis] It works by
measuring distortions in

the Earth's magnetic field

caused by anything metal
that's buried underground.

I got it, Thomas. Sled is out.

Okay, we can pull it back out.

[Travis] We couldn't monitor
the magnetometer data

as it was being collected.

So we'll have to wait

for the processed results
to know more.

[Erik] Our next step
is to remove

the magnetometer
and change it out

for that impedance
measuring device.

-[Sam] All right.
-Let's get on it.

-[Travis] The impedance sensor
works... -[buzzing tone]

by emitting a signal,
then measuring anything

that impedes the flow
of that signal.

In this case, a possible
metallic object underground.

It generates
a tone that will change

if the sensor passes
near anything metallic.

And if that happens, the tone
will become really high-pitched.

[tone warbling]

[Sam] So the audio's recording.

-[buzzing tone]
-You can hear the buzzing on it.

-I hear it. -So it's running,
so it's ready to go.

[Erik on walkie-talkie] Hey,
Travis, you got a copy?

[Travis] Yeah, Erik, go ahead.

So, Sam has all
the instruments running.

We've got the audio recorder.

We have the impedance
measuring device.

[buzzing tone]

We want you to begin pulling
very slowly at the beginning.

Copy that, we're going
to start pulling now.

♪ ♪

[buzzing tone drones in pipe]

[buzzing tone increases
in pitch]

[high-pitched buzzing]

[buzzing pitch decreases]

[Sam] What was that?

-[Royston] Did you hear that?
-[Erik] I did.

How far in were we when
we just heard that sound?

Um... I think we're about
25 feet in.

Yeah, Travis, just be advised,

we are hearing some variation

out of that impedance meter

about 25 feet into the mesa.

That is interesting.

[Erik] So, we're already
hearing changes

in the pitch from this
impedance measurement device

indicating that there
must be some metal nearby.

I'm running through a list
of possibilities in my mind

as to what could account
for that.

[buzzing tone continues]

[tone warbles]

[Erik] Oh, there was
another hit.

[buzzing tone increases
in pitch]

Yeah, that's significant.

About how far in
do you think we are?

We're probably halfway.

[Erik] Okay.

So about 250 feet.

[Sam] Yep, absolutely.

[Erik] Travis, we got another
big hit around 250 feet.

Does that mean it was
next to something metallic?

[Travis] Most likely.

-[Thomas] All right, go ahead
and grab it. -[Travis] Got it.

[Travis] We're out!

We're out down here, guys.

Copy you, Travis.

What we're going to do
is pull that sled

about halfway up
to the 250 point.

Then we're going to stop,
we're gonna monitor.

[Travis] Copy that.

All right, start pulling.

That big hit we got around
250 feet excited us all.

So on the way back up,

Erik had the idea of parking

the sled at that spot,
to confirm

that we had a hard target.

All right, just a few more feet.

Okay, guys,
we got the sled in position,

we're actually
hearing the instrument.

[buzzing tone]

-[tone warbles]
-There.

Something just changed.

I just heard a hit.
There was a--

-Did you hear a change in pitch?
-[Sam] I did, I did.

-[tone warbles] -Ooh.
-Listen to that.

[Erik] Yeah. Yeah, yeah.

Now that shouldn't be happening,
we're absolutely still.

[Travis] This was nuts.

The first time the sled passed

the 250-foot mark,
we got a big hit.

But when we pulled it back
up to the same spot,

the tone kept going
up and down in pitch

like something had changed
or was changing.

Like it was detecting metal
one second, but not the next.

[Erik] Hey, Travis,
I want to see what happens

if we launch a rocket
right through the bubble

and we'll again be able
to listen for

and monitor for any changes
in that interior of the mesa.

[Travis] I love that.
That's a good idea, Erik.

All right, I better go
get the rocket ready.

The mesa drill site
happens to sit inside

another mystery we've
been trying to figure out:

a massive, invisible anomaly
called the bubble.

[on walkie-talkie] All right,
Erik, I'm close.

Give me a minute or so.

Copy that.

[Travis] We've suspected
for a long time

that there's a connection
between the bubble

and whatever's buried
in the mesa.

So we wanted
to know what might happen

if we fired a rocket
toward the bubble boundary

while that impedance sensor
was near this anomaly

inside the mesa.

In five, four,

three, two, one.

[whooshing]

[Erik] So I'm looking
for this to change.

-Tone just changed. -Okay,
we just got a tone change.

[buzzing tone increases
in pitch]

There.

Okay, we just got a hit there.
Did you hear it?

Yes, I did,
I heard it go up in pitch.

[Travis] Come on, chute.

Yeah!

[buzzing tone warbles]

So something is
really affecting it.

[Royston] What is causing
that big an effect?

[Sam] Something is
really affecting it.

-[buzzing tone warbles]
-It's going up.

[Sam] And it didn't do that
as we were pulling it.

[Erik] Hey, Travis,
we just got a huge hit

when you launched the rocket.

The sled didn't move,
so there's no reason

we should have heard
that change.

[Travis] Well, that is
really interesting.

We wanted to know if launching
a rocket through the bubble

would get a response
on the impedance sensor.

And it did.

So does that mean that
whatever's making that noise

in the mesa
is connected to the bubble?

Okay, we can pull it back out.

[Travis] Once we process
the data from both this

and the magnetometer, we're
gonna take a hard look at it

to figure out just what
in the heck this could mean.

[Thomas] Okay, right now.

-[Erik] Okay, stop!
-Got it.

[Erik] All right,
let's get started

-with crunching on the data.
-[Royston] Yeah.

[Thomas] We got some data
to review, huh?

[Erik] We sure do.

So, I've taken
the data off the instruments.

The preliminary look
at the data is that yeah,

there are features in there,

some features that we didn't
expect to see or hear.

Mm.

And so, I want to start
with the magnetometer data.

[Travis] Let's do it.

[Thomas] Whoa.

[Erik] A normal reading
should be relatively flat

inside a sandstone mesa.

We shouldn't be seeing it
dipping up and down like this.

[Travis] No, no.

So, what we would expect to see

would be pretty much
a straight line.

-Yes.
-Yeah, that's exactly it.

Unless there is something
inside of the mesa

that's a very conductive object.

-Yeah.
-[Erik] Yeah, it's way too big.

Maybe it's from
multiple objects in there.

Yep.

We believe there's one big
object in the mesa,

surrounded by a bunch
of smaller objects.

So maybe this data is showing

that the magnetometer
was sensing all those objects.

Let's take a look
at this next sequence.

The measurements on
this impedance meter.

And so I'm going to bring
that up on the screen

and you'll see right away--

this is what we call
a WAV file--

we're seeing tones
picked up by the recorder.

We should hear changes
in the pitch

if there's large metal
objects or things

that are producing
electromagnetic conditions.

[Travis] All right.

So, what I want to do is

just play a portion
of this first experiment.

[tone buzzing]

[tone increases in pitch]

[high-pitched buzzing]

[Travis] What?

-Do we know how far in that was?
-[buzzing stops]

Yeah, we were maybe 20, 25 feet
at that point.

[Thomas] And that's interesting
'cause our drill bit stopped

33 feet from the surface
in Borehole 2

'cause we hit something hard.

That's right.

[Travis] This anomaly
is interesting

because it's about
the same depth

where the drill
was damaged last year

when it hit something hard
in Borehole 2.

And that's also
where we found the ceramics

in the drilling spoils.

We know we hit it at 33 feet.

What we don't know is if
it continues to jut up

closer to the surface.

[Travis] So did the sensor
detect the other side

of the massive object

we think is in there
and does this new data

give us even more evidence
that it's metal?

Let me play a bit
further through this.

This is from the 250-foot mark.

[buzzing tone]

There it is again.

[tone warbles]

It's a strong change.

-Clearly there are changes.
-Yeah, so, if there is something

buried in the mesa
that's metallic

-then this is what you would
expect to hear. -Yes.

This just got a lot
more interesting for me.

That's right.

Well, we're going to bring in
this vertical drill

very soon with the hopes
of being able to discover

whatever it is.

So, I think we may be able
to get eyes

for the first time on whatever
is inside that mesa.

That's right.
And in the meantime,

we've got another experiment
we need to run on the bubble.

-Absolutely.
-All right.

[Thomas] Let's get to work.

[Travis] Hello, fellas.

[Thomas] Hey there.

Since we're still
a few days away

from the mesa drillers arriving,
we wanted to focus

our next experiment
on the bubble.

So far, we know it's centered
at the triangle

and has a 2,000-foot radius.

[whooshing]

It also seems to act
like an invisible force field...

The rocket went the wrong way!

Uh-oh.

[Travis] ...which blocks
instruments like rockets

and drones and stops them from
passing through its barriers.

It's just stuck right there.

-That's crazy, dude.
-[Kaleb] That's freaking nuts.

So today we're gonna try
to learn more about

the bubble boundary
by towing something

through it called a helikite.

Y'all got the helikite
in place out yonder yet?

We got all the parts,
and, uh, we're ready

to head out
and get it put together.

-All right.
-[Erik] You know, what I would

like to see is what happens when

we pass through
that bubble boundary

-with that helikite.
-Okay.

[Travis] The helikite is part
giant helium balloon, part kite.

And what's great about it
is we can attach

different instruments to it
and collect data as it hovers

up to 200 feet in the air
for long periods of time.

So tonight,
we're gonna tow the helikite

with a UTV
through the bubble boundary

to test if it really acts
like a physical wall.

So, you'll go out
west of the bubble, right?

You want us in the bubble
or out--

-I want you to start outside.
-Start outside of it.

-Outside the bubble.
-[Erik] Yeah.

[Travis] And go through
the barrier wall

and then come back
to where you started.

Okay.

[Erik] So, we're getting
this first run

in the daylight,
it's just going to give us

a good control,
nothing on board that helikite.

Okay. Well, we'll get out there

and start inflating this thing.

[Travis] All right, let's do it.
Thanks, guys.

Let us know when you're ready.

We're gonna start
with a test run

with nothing on board
the helikite.

We're thinking our instruments
are what's causing

the bubble to react.

So first, we want to see
if the helikite can get through

the bubble boundary before
we even try to collect data.

Pete, I guess that's your cue,
you can go set your stuff up.

While the guys tow the helikite,

Pete's going to stay here
at the triangle with me

to do some lidar scanning.

I will be monitoring
a spectrum analyzer

connected to my computer
to look for

any odd radio frequency signals,

which we often detect
in the bubble.

All right, here we go.

[Travis] Erik will be
watching everything

from the command center.

All right, well, she's floating.

Uh, we're ready to go I guess.

-Let's go up with it, shall we?
-Yeah.

[motor whirring]

[Kaleb] The helikite is in
the air and ready to go.

[Travis] Copy that.

The helikite
should behave exactly like

someone pulling a balloon.

And with no wind like tonight,

the nose of the helikite
should stay pointed

straight as an arrow.

[on walkie-talkie] Thomas,
Kaleb,

let's start moving the helikite
into the bubble.

[Kaleb] 10-4.

[Travis] Kaleb and Thomas plan
to start towing the helikite

from outside the western
boundary of the bubble,

which we have marked
with wooden posts.

[Thomas] UTV is through
the boundary.

[Kaleb] Hey, it's almost like
it's not moving.

What?

It's almost like
it's not even moving.

[Thomas] I think something's
stopping it.

[Kaleb] I think something's
stopping it.

Look, I'm trying to go this way

and it's pushing it this way.

As we took the helikite
for its first run

through the bubble boundary,

we experienced
some weird resistance.

The tension on the rope
seemed to indicate that the kite

was stuck
in the bubble boundary.

[Kaleb] Yeah, keep going,
we'll see what's happening.

Look, now it's moving.

[Thomas] While we continued
to pull it

through the bubble boundary,

extra resistance
seemingly dissipated away.

Look at the way it changed
directions as we got through.

[Kaleb] Yeah.

[Thomas] While we continued to
pull it towards the east

the helikite turns
and faces north.

Now there's no winds
to account for this.

So as we approached the bubble,
it was going that way,

-like it didn't
want to go through. -Yeah.

And now that it's gone through,
it changed direction again.

Yeah, it's like
there's a current.

[Thomas] It makes no sense.

[Travis] There was literally
no wind,

but as the helikite moved
through the area

where we've marked
the bubble boundary,

it was like it was getting
hung up on some invisible force.

Then when we managed
to get it to move forward,

it started spinning around,
almost like it had popped loose

and was reorienting itself.

Right out of the gate,

this test run showed us evidence
that the bubble boundary

is a real physical force
of some kind.

[over walkie-talkie] Hey, guys,
it's Kaleb.

Uh, Thomas has moved the
helikite through the boundary.

Copy that.

Oh, 1.6 just jumped right up.

Hey, Erik, you copy?

[Erik] Yeah, Travis,
what have you got?

[Travis] We're seeing some
interesting stuff

in the 1.6 gigahertz

and be advised, Erik,
I was not seeing that

before the helikite
got into the bubble.

[Erik on walkie-talkie] Oh, now
that's the interesting bit.

Thanks for the update.

[Travis] Just after the helikite
crossed into the bubble,

a 1.6 gigahertz signal appeared.

We've seen that signal
so many times now

and it could be
a communication signal.

We are now headed west
back towards

the boundary of the bubble.

[Travis] It sure seems like
there is a connection between

the helikite
getting pushed around

and that 1.6 gigahertz signal.

Is someone or something
trying to communicate with us?

All right, you know,
that-that's a great test run

with nothing on it.

I'm gonna go ahead
and tell the guys.

[on walkie-talkie] Guys,
I'm telling you

there was a very easy
observable change

with the helikite
as it went through

the bubble boundary.

[Erik] That is very interesting.

Copy that.

Let's get instruments
on the kite

for our next run
after the sun sets.

[Thomas] Copy all of that.

-This tracker needs to be
on the top, sky-facing... -Okay.

...for the most accurate
results.

[Erik] Now that
the test run's done,

it's time to put our instruments
on the helikite

and do a second run.

We are putting on
the helikite a light,

as well as a GPS tracker.

Thomas and Kaleb will be
deploying the helikite

in the same location

on the western boundary
of the bubble.

[Thomas] That's perfect.

[Erik] I'll be watching
the real-time GPS tracking,

paying special attention
to any changes

in the position of the helikite.

[Thomas] All right, going up.

[motor whirring]

That's exactly what
I'm seeing here on the GPS.

Oh, hey, we're going up.

Yeah, man, we can see very well

all the way down
at the triangle.

[clicking over speaker]

What the...? Listen to that.

[clicking continues]

-[Sam] That's you?
-That's me.

I didn't tell it to,
it just started doing it.

-Listen to that.
-[clicking continues]

I did not toggle any buttons,
do anything

and it started making
that noise.

[clicking continues]

Look what it's doing,
my mouse is going crazy.

Look, I am not touching it.
Look...

That-that is so bizarre.

[Pete] What could do that?

[Travis] I don't know.

What the crap is going on?

Right after we got the helikite
back up in the air

with our instruments,

my computer went haywire
almost like something

or someone hacked into it.

God, it's... Look at that.
I can't-- [stammers]

Everything is acting crazy.

I hate doing this,
but I'm going to close this out.

That was the strangest thing,
man.

All right, well, uh, we'll go
ahead and we'll start moving it

towards the bubble boundary.

[Travis] Copy that.

Pete, go ahead and start your
TLS, if you haven't already.

[Pete] Taking off.

[Thomas] It went right through
the bubble boundary this time.

[Kaleb] The helikite is in
the bubble right now.

I'm hitting it with the laser.

[Travis] What's going on here?

Earlier the helikite
seemed to get pushed around

when it went through
the bubble boundary.

But now it went through the same
spot with no resistance at all.

So does this mean the bubble

somehow turns on and off?

I think that's probably
good enough.

We can probably go back
the other way.

Okay, I'll start turning it now.

[Travis on walkie-talkie] Hey,
Thomas, go ahead and start,

uh, heading back
towards the bubble.

I'm going to run
to the launchpad

and get a rocket ready.

Copy that.

Thomas and Kaleb were gonna
park the helikite

just inside the bubble boundary.

Meanwhile, Erik and I
wanted to launch a rocket

up through the bubble's center
at the triangle.

We wanted to see
if a rocket launch

would get the bubble boundary
to reactivate

and affect the helikite again.

All right.

[on walkie-talkie] We are about
20 seconds from launch.

We're in position.
We're ready to go.

In five, four, three, two, one.

[whooshing]

Holy crap,
something turned that rocket!

...three, two, one.

[whooshing]

[Travis] Holy crap,
something turned that rocket!

Come on, chute.

Uh, it's falling pretty quick.

Did that malfunction?

It sure looked like
it fell fast.

[Travis] Yeah, Thomas,
the rocket veered off

almost immediately like it was
missing that 30-foot spot again.

All right, I'm gonna go
drive over there.

Once again,
we didn't see any weird reaction

from the helikite
in the bubble boundary.

But what we did see with
that rocket was really weird.

These things are designed
to go straight up,

but that rocket veered
hard to the east

as if something
physically redirected it away

from the triangle right
at about the 30-foot mark.

That's where we've
repeatedly found evidence

of something mysterious
we call the blob.

We first saw it back in 2022

when it destroyed a rocket
midair.

So, did we just see
new evidence of it

interfering with a rocket again?

I think we've already passed it.

Oh, how 'bout that?

Looks like it's still together,
looks like the chute came out.

The chute never unrolled.

Huh.

Something definitely
redirected that rocket.

It's just like how
the bubble boundary

seems to push and pull
our equipment around, too.

So, are we seeing evidence
that the bubble boundary

and the blob
are somehow related?

Well, the rocket worked
except the chute didn't unroll.

It all deployed
and-and it fell--

there's one little ding
in that fin right there, right?

It's a really weird thing,

just why that chute
didn't unroll.

[Kaleb on walkie-talkie]
Hey, Erik? Travis?

[Travis] Copy.

[Kaleb] We're ready to tow
the helikite

back out of the bubble.

Tell me when
we're outside of the bubble.

[Kaleb] Yeah.

Copy that. I show your motion.

Everything looks pretty normal.

[Kaleb] Yeah, 10-4, Erik.

I'm hitting it with the laser.

We're going
to cross the boundary now.

[Erik] Okay, that's interesting.

Why are we seeing
a gap in the data?

You're good, Tom!

The helikite is outside

of the bubble boundary.

Kaleb, there is a big gap
in the GPS data

as you were coming back out
through that boundary.

[Kaleb] That's
pretty interesting.

[Erik] I'm not sure how
to account for those points,

other than the bubble
somehow possibly blocking

the GPS signal
from your location.

We've seen this so many times.

I'm dealing with something
that's in the environment,

or something
is affecting the GPS.

Could this thing be
what we call the bubble?

How is that possible?

[Travis] Erik, let's do
one more run with the helikite.

I'm gonna do one more launch,

I'll launch it
when they get the helikite

right back in the bubble.

Yeah, that makes a lot of sense.

Copy that, I'm gonna go get
the rocket on the pad now.

If there is
some kind of connection

between the bubble boundary
and the blob,

we wanted to see
if strange things would happen

at the same time
to both the helikite

and the rocket
after another launch.

All right, everybody,
I have the rocket in place,

if you guys want to move the,
uh, helikite into the bubble

and let me know
as soon as it's there,

and I'll launch on your word.

10-4, Travis.
We're moving it in now.

[engine starts]

-Stop me when we're there.
-Yep.

The TLS is running.

Copy that.

[Kaleb] Hey, Tom, hold up!

Hey, guys, when we started
to move forward,

it's like the helikite
got pulled into the bubble.

[Erik] Interesting.

[Kaleb] And it's no more
than ten to 15 feet

from the edge of it now,
and it's come down in elevation.

Hey, you can keep coming, Tom.

It's close.

Helikite is in
the bubble boundary.

[Travis] I'm launching
this rocket in five,

four, three...

What just happened?

The rocket appeared to get

pushed away again.

It just veered off
in the same spot

but in the opposite direction.

Erik, you copy?

[Erik] Yeah, Travis, what's up?

[Travis] This last rocket
I got to go find,

I'm-a run and get it real quick

and then, uh,
I'll yell back at you

and see what else
you want to do.

All right, well, uh,
let me know when you guys

are ready to radio over.

[Travis] So, I wanted
to find it and see

if it showed any signs of damage
from hitting something.

I'm-a get out and look for it.

Son of a gun.

This is where it came down.

[groans] Oh, man.

The dang rocket
chute cord broke.

It is dry and frayed.

That means that
there's another piece

to the rocket somewhere up here.

Oh, Lord.

We're not gonna find it tonight.

I only found half of the rocket

because its parachute cord
was ripped apart,

and made the whole thing
split in two.

Look at this.

The same thing
happened to a rocket

we launched at the triangle
last week.

It looks like
the parachute cord just broke.

And when we watched
the video Erik captured,

it looked like
it might have been hit by a UAP.

That's a head-scratcher.
That's twice that's happened.

These chute cords can withstand
up to 500 pounds of force,

and I've never had one of these
things break before this year.

What could do that?

Was it from hitting the blob?

Or something else in the bubble?

Hey, Erik, do you copy?

Yeah, Travis, what's up?

Well, that's the second one
of those new rockets

that we've launched,
and it frayed

the 500-pound shroud cord
without burning it.

-It's really odd.
-[Erik] Wow.

Uh, there is definitely gonna be
a lot to review here.

I think it's time to call it.

Well, you want to head out
here and let's, uh,

you know, collect our thoughts
on this and wrap everything up?

I'll, uh-- Thomas and Kaleb,
if y'all are listening,

I guess bring it on in.

[Erik] All right, guys,
I'm headed over.

In the moment, we don't have

a handy explanation for why
we see unusual activity on GPS.

We'll look at the data,
we'll analyze that

and determine
whether we do, in fact,

have some special condition
there at the boundary

as we've speculated.

[Travis] This was
a really interesting

experiment tonight.

The two rockets, both of them

wouldn't go through,
you know, that blob area,

about 30 to 40 feet high.

That's more the rule
than the exception.

[Travis] More the rule out here
than the exception.

So, uh, we got a lot of data.

We've got a bunch of stuff
from Pete and the SLAM scanner.

I can't wait
to see the GPS data.

-All right, well, I say
we get with it. -All right.

[Travis] Great experiment, man.

We've got a lot to go through
on this experiment

that we did with the helikite.

You know,
we had several things in play

between what's happening
in the triangle

and what's happening out there
on that border of the bubble.

That's right.

One day after the helikite
experiment at the bubble,

Erik called us together
to review

all the data we collected.

[Erik] Pete, I know you've got
some data queued up.

You want to kind of
guide us into it?

Yeah, so, I will show you

the terrestrial
laser scanning first.

This is an infrared scan
of the entire area

we were operating in
during the experiment.

When we rotate in the sky...

[Travis] Right, now,
look right there.

-See the concentric rings?
-[Thomas] Yep.

[Pete] Then we rotate it in 3D

to look at what's going on.

-[Thomas] Those lines
right there. -[Travis] Little--

-right, there's one.
-[Erik] Yes. There it is.

-Wow.
-[Travis] Wow,

so you did detect something
that looks like it's about

-where the bubble is.
-[Pete] Yes, we did.

Again.

[Travis] If you stand
out at the triangle,

you can't see
any sign of the bubble.

So, it's amazing

to look at Pete's
infrared laser scanning data,

which is showing us
there is something physical

where we know
the bubble boundary is.

[Pete] Let's look at

the second scan.

[Kaleb] He's got some
right there.

[Travis] And there's
another one, if you look.

[Pete] We see
vertical features again.

I bet if you look up,
you'll see those rings.

-Yep.
-[Pete] We see the bubble again.

[Pete] So,
the consistency continues

when we use the terrestrial
laser scanner at the triangle.

[Erik] Yes, exactly.

[Pete] So, the next piece,

um, is the scan

that was specifically focused
on the movement of the helikite.

And here is the helikite
crossing the bubble boundary.

-[Kaleb] Wow.
-[Travis] Isn't that crazy?

[Travis] Did you guys
notice the helikite

-was going in an arc like that?
-[Kaleb] No.

It just doesn't make sense
to me because

we weren't adding
any more line to it,

so I would expect it
to s-stay somewhat level.

[Erik] With everything else

that was being reported
in real time, you know,

I'm-I'm really curious
about whether

we're actually hitting something
that is physically out there

over the ranch.

-Yes.
-Yep.

[Travis] How is something that
we can't see with the naked eye

physically moving heavy objects?

It's like a wall
or a force field of some kind.

What could that be?

And is it always there,
or only some of the time?

I've got some perspectives on

the first rocket flight.

I can tell you,
when we launched,

it did turn and went due east.

[Erik] So, we are,
we're viewing the launch tower

and the science tower
from a-a ground camera.

And, uh, yeah, I'll--
I'll just play it through.

What we see happen here...

-[Travis] Right there. Look at
that. -Yeah, I've stopped it

at a point where
we-we start to get into

-what-what you'd call
a dogleg, right? -Yeah.

-[Travis] Yeah.
-Well, watch what happens

when I frame advance this,

-'cause it gets
even more outrageous. -Okay.

[Erik] Okay,
so I'm gonna go forward.

Look at this.
That thing's flying.

-[Travis] It's nearly
horizontal. -Frickin' sideways.

What-what, what's it
responding to?

[Travis] The blob
was right there.

In Erik's
high-speed camera video,

you can actually see the moment

where the rocket
goes from vertical

and turns sideways
in an instant.

That should be
physically impossible,

unless it hit something.

So, was that the blob?

[Erik] Let's just keep watching.

[Travis] It looks like
it's moving around the blob

-or something.
-[Pete] That is wild.

Did you notice that light?

-Yes.
-I need to back up.

[Kaleb] Right there.

[Thomas] Is that not the rocket?

[Kaleb] No, the rocket
is out of the frame.

Well, I think we may have that
light from another perspective.

[Travis] Well,
let's look and see.

[Erik] Okay, so,
this is the high-speed,

-so 120 frames per second.
-Yep.

-[Erik] Wow, that's spectacular.
-[Travis] Now watch the rocket

turn, goes crazy.

-[Thomas] Whoa.
-[Erik] What-what is that light?

[Thomas] Oh, wow.

-[Thomas] Whoa.
-[Travis] I don't know what

that blue light was.

I-I really don't know
what that was.

[Erik] I want
to dive in on that.

[Travis] This is unbelievable.

Right when
the first rocket launch

took a hard turn to the east
just above the triangle,

Erik's surveillance camera
caught a blue light

flashing for a single frame.

Did this thing hit the rocket?

And if so, what the heck was it?

-[Thomas] You know...
-You know...

Go ahead.

I bet you're thinking
the exact same thing I am.

The last time we saw
a rocket interfered with,

we caught a similar
flash in the sky

-at the same time frame.
-Yep.

And we had a cord ripped apart.

Exactly. Exactly.

This light is very similar

to that white flash
we saw last week

when one of our rockets
had its chute cord busted.

So, are we seeing
similar kinds of things

right above the triangle?

And are they coming from
or related to the blob?

Did we see a light like this
on the second launch

when the cord snapped?

[Erik] No,
but that's a single frame.

[Travis] So, that's a flash

-of 120th of a second.
-Yeah.

[Travis] It's possible
that it flashed too quickly

for the camera to catch it
on that second launch.

-[Erik] Yeah.
-I mean, whatever it is,

however it managed to appear

and disappear so quickly,

-there's precedent...
-Yeah.

...for there being orbs
flying around out there

-when we see the rockets
mess up. -Yeah.

-Yep.
-[Erik] At this point,

you know, I think it would be
instructive to take a look at

the, uh, GPS records
from the helikite,

so I'm gonna bring that up.

Okay, so, the, uh,
bubble boundary is marked

in white on the ground.

So, I want to draw your
attention to these data points.

Very close to the, uh,
bubble boundary.

[Travis] Look at
the missing points.

-[Erik] Yes.
-[Travis] Right in the bubble,

you're missing points,
right there.

-[Erik] Mm-hmm.
-[Thomas] Or they're...

-been misplaced.
-[Erik] Yes.

-Or they're somewhere else.
-Well, that's typically,

-that's typically the case.
-Yeah.

Well, I see one way out yonder.

Look, way out there.
My goodness.

[Erik] Oh, wow.

[Travis] That's got to be,
like, off in space.

And there's another one
over there.

What about underground, Erik?

-Anything?
-Oh, good question.

We do have some
data underground.

[Travis] Oh, look at that.

[Pete] It's...

right over the boundary is where
the dip in your points are.

[Travis] Yes.
That means something.

So, now we find out

that the GPS data
that we thought was missing

from the helikite when it passed
through the bubble boundary

wasn't missing.

The GPS device was somehow
tricked into thinking

it was way out in space
and even underground.

That makes no scientific sense.

This tells us, uh,
there's a lot more to do

in the bubble barrier wall.

[Erik] I think I'm in favor

of getting more airborne assets

into the space
above the triangle.

-Oh, good idea.
-You know, you know,

we need to fly a drone swarm

at various altitudes
and see if we can study

-what's happening there.
-Yes.

-Yeah, absolutely.
-[Kaleb] All right, man.

All right, guys, well,
this has been a great review.

Yep. Let's get with it.

[Erik] The prevailing question
in all of these exercises

is whether there's some kind
of real physical connection

between the bubble boundary

and all the unexpected
interference

and so many device malfunctions
in the area.

So, the focus of our activity
will be to explore

how strong that connectivity is
and, in fact, if it is real.

[Travis] Whether
it's at the triangle

or the bubble boundary,

we're seeing possible evidence
that the bubble

is having a real
and measurable impact

on objects it interacts with.

What is this thing?
It's like something

from science fiction,

and it's only leading us
to more questions.

[Brandon] We continue to see
evidence of the bubble,

electromagnetic anomalies, UAP

and composite
engineered material

from deep within the mesa.

After all these years
of investigation,

I'm more motivated than ever
to both document and understand

the high strangeness
at Skinwalker Ranch.

We will not stop
until we have the truth.

Go ahead and spin 'er.

[Erik] We want to go down
till we hit

whatever is buried in the mesa.

-[Thomas] I see the calf.
-[Haleigh] Yeah,

we definitely have a symptom
of chronic radiation poisoning.

[drone buzzing]

Whoa. I just lost control.
Shoot, shoot, shoot.

-Shoot. Oh, man.
-[Kaleb] Did you just crash?

It was right when it went past
the bubble boundary.

Whoa! Did you see that?

Erik, something just zipped

right overhead,
moving real fast.
