Let's start moving the helikite into the bubble.
Hey, it's almost like it's not moving.
Look at the way it changed directions
- as we got through. - Yeah.
It makes no sense.
Holy crap. Something turned that rocket.
I've got some perspectives on the first rocket flight.
Now watch, the rocket turns and goes crazy.
What-what, what's it responding to?
- The blob was right there. - Let's just
keep watching.
- Whoa. - What is that light?
Wow.
The sled is gonna help us understand
what's inside the mesa and see what's in there.
That's gonna come in handy
when the drillers get here.
What?
There's something metallic buried in the mesa.
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!
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.
I hear the drillers coming.
Yeah. There they are.
After weeks of planning, this morning,
we're starting a new drilling operation
to uncover the truth about one
of the biggest mysteries on Skinwalker Ranch.
A 400-foot-long, possibly metallic object
and smaller anomalies that we've repeatedly detected
with all kinds of equipment inside the mesa.
I want to introduce you guys
to Jed and Bo
- with Triple A Drilling. - Welcome to the ranch.
Well, it's good to get you guys up on the mesa.
We're standing at a spot where our drilling efforts
were brought to a standstill last year.
- An infamous spot. - Yes. I would say an infamous spot.
Something stopped us in our tracks right here.
And-and so the...
the strategy, as you know,
is we're gonna try to engage with it from the top.
In 2024, while drilling a six-inch borehole
just to the west of the big object,
the drill bit was destroyed
after hitting something harder than rock
just 33 feet from the top of the mesa.
It's completely welded shut.
- It's friction welded. - Yeah.
And that's when Chris Roberts discovered
manufactured pieces of ceramics
recovered from the drilling spoils at the same depth.
We put the liquid nitrogen in there and the sample.
We had them lab tested
and found evidence that they're similar
to the heat-resistant tiles on man-made spacecraft.
I just can't believe something so small
could withstand something that cold for that long.
So, we want
to go down to 33 feet or until we hit
whatever it is that's buried here.
So, with ranch owner Brandon Fugal's permission,
Thomas spearheaded a plan to drill
larger-diameter vertical holes from the top of the mesa
to see if we can recover proof
of whatever's actually in there.
It's my understanding you guys have
a 48-inch or four-foot-diameter cutting tool.
So we're gonna get a hole that's just a little bigger
- than that, I guess. - Yeah.
Now, I understand that we can pull
that cutting head out and examine the things
- as we sneak up on this target. - Yeah.
We're gonna try to get
some solid cores out for Chris to look at.
The most important thing here is the owner told us.
- "I don't want to damage whatever's there." - Okay.
So he's given us his blessing on the condition
that we do it slow.
So we'll rely on your guys' experience.
If you feel anything out of the ordinary as you're drilling,
let's stop. Let's err on the side of caution,
- examine it. - Right.
So to get all the way down 33 feet
through rock like that,
how long would it take, do you think?
- Probably a good couple of long days. - Okay.
- Well, let's say we get to work. The plan'll be... - Let's do it.
That Erik and Sam
- will be up here with their science equipment. - Okay.
Kaleb, if you don't mind, I want you to go with me.
- We'll set up down at the bottom of the mesa. - Okay.
So I'll have all my antennas and stuff pointed up here at you.
- Let's do it. - Good.
A lot of strange things happen
when we drill in the mesa.
Several times, we've detected
mysterious radio frequency signals.
And some of them were actually coming from
inside the mesa itself.
Look at this cow!
And a couple of years ago, one of the young cows
in the field just south of the drill site
suddenly became really sick from a possible radiation spike.
We don't know if these things are related to whatever's
in the mesa or if it's because the drill site
sits within another important area of interest, the bubble.
The invisible anomaly with a 2,000-foot radius
where we've documented the same kind of RF signals,
unexplained energy spikes, and more UAPs than we can count.
So while we're drilling,
we'll be closely monitoring our spectrum analyzers
and radiation detectors from both the top
and bottom of the mesa.
Okay, we'll have you track forward.
Hey, guys. The drill bit is on.
The drill is in place.
We are in position, and they are ready to start drilling.
They can go ahead and start turning that head.
Go ahead and spin her!
Drill bit just made contact with the earth
and we are ten seconds from spinning.
Well, look. Right here. Look right here.
This 1.6 gigahertz signal
showed up right when Thomas said that.
That is not believable.
Look, look, you can see it right there.
Yeah.
What in the crap?
Hey, Erik. Do you copy?
Yeah, Travis. Go ahead. What do you got?
You ain't gonna believe this,
but, literally, as soon as Thomas said
that drill hit the ground,
a 1.6 gigahertz signal spiked up immediately.
Well, now, that's very suspicious.
Are you seeing that?
Yeah, so we've got the 1.6 peak up here as well.
Travis, we are seeing
- 1.6 as well. - That's so weird.
1.6 gigahertz signals have appeared
on our spectrum analyzers during a lot of our experiments.
Most of 'em, actually.
And what's most strange about that frequency
is that the U.S. military uses it
for Earth-to-satellite communications.
So where did this come from?
And right when we're about to start drilling in the mesa.
Well, there's your first spoils.
She's cutting, though. It's going down.
Thomas, you got a copy?
Yeah, go ahead, Erik.
What would you guess to be the depth at this point?
They've probably gone down six to eight inches.
So far, everything's going smooth.
Copy, Thomas.
I hope this progress continues.
So far, so good.
Hey there.
- Hey. - Sure appreciate
you, shuffling your schedule
- and helping us out. - Haleigh. -Hi.
Later that afternoon, as the drilling continued,
Thomas and Erik headed over to the corral
for an emergency meeting
with veterinarian Dr. Haleigh Lundgreen.
- My two sons, Kevin and Micah. - Nice to meet you.
- Nice to meet you. - I...
make 'em come out here when we're working cows.
These guys are well trained in, herding cows,
branding cows...
all things cows.
Shortly after drilling started this morning,
we got a call from Thomas's sons, Kevin and Micah,
who discovered a calf that looked sick or injured.
They found it south of the drill site
and just inside the western boundary of the bubble.
- We found a sick calf. - Yep.
It separated from the herd.
We tried to stand it up,
but it's not really responding very well.
So, just a little worried about it.
- Okay. - We'll head out
and take a look at the area where the calf is.
- All right. Sounds good. - Okay.
We've long heard tales
that bad things happen when you dig on the ranch.
Watching a calf out there in distress
definitely was a bad thing.
The area that the calf's
laying in is of special interest to us.
It's near where we watched a calf seemingly get radiated
a couple years ago while we were drilling.
It's definitely got me on high alert.
So, you see the calf?
- Yeah. - Doesn't look like
- it's moved since we found it, does it? - Yeah.
You've got your gear with you.
You can take a look at the animal up close.
- Yeah. - I'm gonna take some measurements out here.
Okay.
Does somebody just want to restrain for me
- while I examine? - Sure.
- Yep. - Here we have another vulnerable young animal
going down inside the western bubble boundary.
- Hey, baby. - Aw.
This is now the second calf in this general region
of the ranch that has experienced some kind
of medical episode.
And I find it interesting that it happened
the same day we started drilling.
It's not clear to me whether we're dealing with some
radioactive phenomenon or some EMI phenomenon.
But while Haleigh and Thomas tend to the calf,
I'll be taking measurements to see if we can find a cause.
At least a month or two old here.
Come here. Wait.
Yeah. We definitely have an increased heart rate
and an increased respiratory rate.
We have a temperature of 103.3.
The high normal is 103 even,
so the temperature's high.
Easy.
So definitely signs of some stress.
Yes.
When we have a fever, that's typically an indication
that we have some kind of infection going on.
I do think that she needs to be treated
- with antibiotics. - Okay.
That infection can be secondary due to something else,
like low white blood cell count,
which can be a symptom of chronic radiation poisoning.
But either way, I do feel like this calf needs
more diagnostics and blood work.
- Okay. - I do feel like
this calf needs additional treatment.
There have been a lot of strange cattle injuries
and even deaths over the years on Skinwalker Ranch.
And every single time, we have to ask ourselves,
is this cow just sick? Or is it related to something
that's happening here on the ranch?
The cow is right near the boundary of the bubble,
and we also just started our drilling operation.
Could these things have something to do with it?
I'm also curious
what Erik's finding as you've been doing your scans.
Thomas, I'm getting the same kind
of radiation dose over here that I would see
at the command center or anywhere else on the ranch.
But, in the past,
we've seen some enormous spikes
in radiation. Very concerning.
Okay. So we probably need to load her up, take her back
to the corrals.
- Yeah. - Okay.
Because the calf is ill
and it could have been caused by radiation,
Dr. Lundgreen requests
that we get this calf back to the corral.
All right.
Once there, she'll be better equipped
to take blood samples from it and do
a more thorough checkup.
Easy, easy, easy.
Easy, buddy. Easy, buddy.
All right.
Okay. All right.
Good to see the fight.
- I know. That's a good sign. - Come on.
Come on. Come on. All right.
- Showing some life now. - Yeah.
Well, it's interesting
that we get her away from the bubble
and now it's looking like it's got life to it.
She's definitely happier.
When we got out there,
the calf was not feeling well and was pretty ill.
But pretty much as soon as we got back over to the corral,
she was standing up
and wanting to run around and leave.
The change was pretty drastic.
So after evaluating,
I do have some recommendations for you guys.
Since we're concerned about an environmental factor here,
I would highly recommend that we do a chemistry panel,
which is a baseline blood panel
looking for any kind of blood issues,
kidney function, liver function,
- as well as a heavy metals test. - Okay.
Yeah, you know, based on what we've seen out there,
for safety going forward, I'm gonna attach some dosimeters
to monitor for radiation exposure.
I'm thinking one for the calf,
another for the mother
to get, measurements over the same time period.
Well, then, I say we go ahead
and get 'em into the squeeze chute
and, we'll let you do your thing.
- I'll meet you over there. - All right. Sounds good.
I'm interested in any special causes
for what is happening
with these young animals in this particular region of the ranch.
All right, ready? Sticking.
I'm very hopeful that Haleigh's going to be able
to give us some insights on exactly what happened
to them and what pattern might exist
at the boundary of our bubble.
All right, baby. You're done.
We'll keep a close eye on 'em.
And if we see anything, we'll let you know.
- Yeah. I think she'll do well. - Awesome.
- Thank you again. - All right. Thank you.
- Wow. - Yeah, let's get
the tape in there.
By late afternoon, the drillers had gotten
about four feet down
when they had to wrap for the day.
That's a fantastic start, guys.
But for the rest of us,
there was still gonna be a long night ahead.
Guys, welcome back to the edge
of the bubble.
We were gonna be running
a new experiment out at the western bubble boundary.
And returning to the ranch to help us
was Preston Ward and his team
from Sky Elements Drone Shows.
If you look out there, you see the posts.
That's the markers that show the circumference of this bubble.
That's where we want to focus with the drone swarm.
Aside from what just happened with the calf,
a lot of our instruments, like rockets and drones
and even larger stuff like a helikite,
seem to get physically pushed away or malfunction
when they make contact with the bubble boundary.
It sounds insane.
So to try and get a better handle on why this is happening,
we've invited Preston and his team back
to run our next experiment.
So, Preston,
why don't you talk a little bit about,
what you're gonna do tonight and-and what you need from us.
We're gonna set up 100 drones in this area,
and then we're gonna lay a ten-by-ten grid pattern.
Then we're gonna move that in and out
of the bubble wall up to 1,000 feet.
Preston, do I understand that these are
horizontal stacks? Or are we gonna do a vertical?
- These are horizontal stacks. - Okay. -Awesome.
The drones come equipped
with GPS instruments which let us track
all of their movements from launch,
to the sky, and back.
So if anything weird affects the drones
as they go through the boundary,
hopefully the data can tell us
exactly where it happened and for how long.
While you guys do that,
we're gonna be recording
the drones with specialty cameras and lidar.
We'll also launch a rocket at one point
while you guys are flying
to see if it can get through the bubble boundary, too.
- Sounds like a plan. - So, at this point,
I think we need to get putting stuff together and get to work,
because, it's gonna be dark soon
and you guys got a lot of work to do.
- That we do. - Let's get to work, y'all!
I'm really glad to have the Sky Elements team
back on-site to continue our work together
in studying the bubble boundary.
Let's get online fast.
- I'm working on it. - And I'm hoping they're going
to give us insights that we have yet to gain
from any of the studies so far performed.
So you're going to do a test flight
- with the first-person drone? - Yeah, I'm gonna go
fly around the perimeter of the bubble.
- Okay. - And then I'm gonna do zigzags in and out
- and just see if something's going on there. - Okay.
In addition to all
of our monitoring devices on the ground,
Brian Woodward will also be flying a special
first-person view drone,
so we can monitor the swarm up close
on a live video feed.
Okay.
Nice and easy.
Exiting the bubble boundary.
Coming back in.
Turn around and go out and then come back in.
Whoa.
I just lost control.
Shoot, shoot, shoot, shoot, shoot, shoot, shoot.
- He just crashed. - Man.
I totally lost it.
- And it was right when it went past the bubble boundary. - Yeah.
Shoot.
Didn't seem to crash into a wall.
It just shorted out and fell to the ground.
And this is a few yards from where the cow was acting sick.
Is there something in this area of the ranch
causing these things to happen?
And is it connected somehow with the bubble boundary?
Yo, Preston.
- What's going on, guys? - So I pulled this out
to test just flying in and out of the bubble over there.
But as soon as I went by one of the fence posts,
just complete loss of video signal.
Interesting. Do you have any idea
- what might've caused it or... - I have no idea.
Well, Cameron is trying to get
these four drones online, and he can only get two.
So you're already having issues
with just connecting to your drones over here?
- Correct. - Okay.
I mean, that access point, we fly entire shows off of one
- that go 900 feet away. - Yeah.
The access point is...
50 feet from those?
Each one of those can handle 1,500 drones.
So we're trying to connect four drones to a device
that can handle 1,500. So it doesn't
make any sense, especially with how close they are.
- That's very intriguing. - Interesting.
In the number of times
these guys have been out here now,
connectivity issues always seem to crop up.
And they tell us this only happens to them
on Skinwalker Ranch.
And now here it is again.
Plus, throw in the fact that, tonight,
we're right at the bubble boundary.
What's that adding to the mix?
We're gonna see if we can get these online
- and get the show set up. - Okay. Sounds good.
- See you in a little bit. - Thanks, guys. -Good luck.
When we had 'em all set up before dark...
- We didn't see this at all. - We didn't see anything.
After a few hours, Preston and Matt
had finally managed to get all 100 drones
connected to the network.
But right when the swarm was ready to launch, guess what.
Did you just lose 'em all again?
Yeah. I have, like,
40 dropping off.
It's jumping around a lot.
Yeah, now it's 50. So it k...
It's like it's rising.
Definitely some wireless latency.
Yeah, very slow.
We can't communicate with the drones
because the wireless spectrum, it's so flooded.
My gosh.
See, 99% utilized.
Wow.
So, for some reason now, it's saying
that something else is using all
- of the Wi-Fi bandwidth? - Yep.
I've never seen the spectrum that full.
All over theme parks,
different cities where there's a huge amount of wireless traffic.
I've never seen 99% utilization,
- especially where we are. - Wow.
Hey, guys, do you copy?
Yeah, Thomas. Go ahead. What's up?
They're seeing 99% utilization
of the Wi-Fi spectrum.
They're having a hard time keeping these things connected.
That's...
that's crazy.
We have our own Wi-Fi network on the ranch.
And there are hardly any devices using it at any given time.
This shouldn't be a problem for Sky Elements.
So what the hell is using all of our bandwidth?
And why right now?
- Did they just go? - It seems to be
better.
- All of the sudden. - For now.
So you're good to go?
Yeah, we're good to go right now. It seems to be
relatively stable.
Wow. I wonder what suddenly changed.
Hey, Thomas to the science tent.
Drones are all connected. We got a green light to go?
Go, Thomas, go.
Copy that.
Five,
four, three,
two, one.
- Launch. - Drones are hot.
Okay, taking off.
Despite the crash earlier,
Brian was back up and running with the FPV drone
to keep a close eye on the swarm during the experiment.
One didn't lift.
Two didn't lift.
You had two drones stay home?
Two drones stayed home.
- Travis, do you see? - Yeah. They got a couple drones missing.
Hey, Erik, be advised there's a couple drones missing
in the constellation.
Copy that, Travis. That's very interesting.
Thanks for the update.
The center of that
formation should be right over
the bubble boundary.
Right over the posts marking the western boundary.
What's the elevation?
We are at 250 feet.
Got about 25 off right now.
Thirty.
Where are they at in relation to the boundary? Can you tell?
It's... Definitely seems like as they transition
from outside the boundary to inside,
they disconnected from the Wi-Fi.
Right now, they're transitioning through it and you can see
that there's a lot of
- disconnecting and dropping off. - Wow.
As the swarm rose in elevation
and moved back and forth through the bubble boundary,
the drones kept losing their Wi-Fi connection
only when they passed through the boundary.
As soon as they were through it,
the connection would come back.
Every single time.
And with all 100 drones.
It is coming into the bubble now.
We can confirm that with what it's showing on the computer.
- Yeah. - What-What's the elevation?
It's 1,000 feet.
Pretty stable there.
- Yeah. - Hey, guys, we are at 1,000 feet now.
Whoa. Look at that.
We just had a giant hit at 1.6 gigahertz.
Hey, Erik, do you copy?
Yeah, Travis, loud and clear.
I'm picking up a 1.6 gigahertz signal
on the hand held spectrum analyzer.
That's strange.
- I don't see anything on my end. - Really?
- That's interesting now. - Yeah, it's very interesting.
It's weird that my hand held spectrum analyzer
is the only one picking up this 1.6 gigahertz signal.
And that I only picked it up after some of the drones
lost their Wi-Fi signal again.
Could it be coming from whatever's
shutting down that connection?
Let us know when they start their descent.
They're starting to come down now.
- Wow. - Whoa!
We're getting some pretty big wobble.
Whoa!
They're starting to fall out of formation.
The one almost hit the other.
Whoa! It almost hit it.
Right after I picked up a 1.6 gigahertz signal,
the drone swarm started losing its preprogrammed
square formation,
and a bunch of the drones looked like
they were gonna crash into each other.
Look at that.
So, maybe that signal came from the bubble boundary
and messed up the drones.
All back down.
Erik, be advised, the drones are on the ground.
The FPV is still flying around over them.
Copy that, Travis.
It would appear the disruptive effects
with the drone swarm happens as it penetrates
the western boundary of what we call the bubble.
We're talking about an area that's just right there
next to Homestead Two.
So many interesting things happen
in that part of the ranch, and we're seeing
corroboration of some of the history
in the current behavior of this drone swarm.
Weird.
It just really seemed like, as they transition
from outside to inside the bubble,
we see them start to wobble.
Yeah, that transition was definitely
causing connectivity issues,
and it seemed to be when you got to the outside of the bubble,
it was better than when it was on the inside of the bubble.
And that's very unusual,
because when you're inside the barrier,
we're closer to the access points.
When we're outside the barrier, we're further away.
Makes that Wi-Fi disconnection
even stranger, right?
- Correct. - Yes.
So, will we still be able to run
the second swarm?
What do you guys think?
About ten minutes and we'll be ready to go,
assuming we get a Wi-Fi signal.
Erik, they're saying it'll take them
about ten minutes before they're ready to take flight again.
Copy that.
The second phase of the drone experiment
was gonna be much smaller.
These drones were set to fly in consecutive pairs,
in and out of the bubble boundary,
and once again, to an elevation of 1,000 feet.
We wanted to see if fewer drones would be able to maintain
a more stable Wi-Fi connection.
All right, so, Kaleb and I are about to load up
and then, take the rockets down.
Copy that.
Once the drones reach maximum altitude,
Kaleb and I were set to launch a rocket
from just outside the bubble boundary at Homestead Two.
In 2023, we launched a rocket here after we detected
one of those strange 1.6 gigahertz signals.
Hey, it looks like it's stuck there.
- Look. - Yeah.
And as the rocket was coming back down,
it froze in midair for a few moments.
It was just nuts.
So, now, we wanted to launch a rocket at the same spot
of the bubble boundary again for two reasons.
First, if this rocket freezes, that might confirm
that the boundary was what caused it.
And second, we wanted to see if something even stranger
would happen to the drones
as they passed through the boundary.
We're ready whenever y'all are.
And the show is rolling.
Five,
four, three,
two, one.
- Launch. - Drones are hot.
First two taking off.
What's our elevation?
Coming up on 500 feet.
500 feet and climbing.
Hey, Travis, we are approaching 900 feet.
Copy that, Thomas.
Yeah, we're over 900 now.
We are now over 900.
Copy that.
We're about to launch the rocket in about ten seconds.
We're at 1,000 feet.
Drones have reached their ceiling of 1,000 feet.
We're passing through the bubble boundary now.
Rocket's launching in five, four,
three, two, one.
That one went.
The drones are now on their way down.
Whoa, did you see that? Did you see it?
Something just zipped right across the sky.
Erik, something just zipped right overhead just above.
Homestead Two, moving real fast.
I don't know if you were... had any cameras looking this way.
The high-speed cameras
are going and pointed that direction.
There's a great possibility
I caught it in the camera.
Copy. I didn't see anything in real time,
so I'll look for it when I process the camera data.
That was one of the most stunning UAPs
I've ever seen.
And it appeared right after we launched that rocket.
Next group is up.
We were hoping it might show up again
during the rest of our drone swarm.
But the remaining pairs flew
without anything unusual showing up.
And final set of drones are on their way down.
So, hopefully, whatever that blue orb was,
we caught it on one of our cameras,
and it'll show up after Erik has time to process it
with his Meta-Frame software.
I cannot wait to see
all of the data that Sky Elements took tonight
with all the drones moving in and out of the bubble.
Yeah, this is the most problematic I've ever had
trying to get 100 drones up anywhere.
And, you know, we don't have issues when we do
thousands of drones, so it was very, very odd,
that it was so bad in just, in a field.
I kind of have a feeling that,
after we have time to start reviewing some of this,
we're gonna find there was probably more going on tonight
- than what any of us realized. - Quite possibly.
- Quite possibly. - Well, look, I know
you guys got a lot to pack up, so I say we, get to it.
Yeah, thanks for a great exercise.
That was am... that was amazing.
Can't wait to see all this data.
Thanks, everybody.
So, what do you got, Erik?
We got, Preston and Matt,
From Sky Elements on the line,
and I can't wait to find out what kind of data
they've got to share with us.
Hey, Preston. Hey, Matt. Thanks for joining.
- How's it going, guys? - Hey.
Erik and the guys from Sky Elements worked fast
to get all their data processed by the next day.
So, after all the problems they had with the drones
during the experiment,
we hoped to learn some things about the bubble boundary.
What I'd like to do is, is-is have you guys jump
right into the data coming back out of the drone swarm.
Yeah, absolutely, so, Matt got some real interesting data
looking at some of the Wi-Fi communication issues,
and then, also, some of the,
the other weirdness that we saw that night.
I'll share my screen here.
Okay.
So, this is data we've collected
from one of our drones from our 100-drone swarm test
the other night.
Once we were able to connect most of the drones,
here's what we were able to get from the field.
- Yes. - And then kind of
zigzagging our way up to 1,000 feet,
flying out through the bubble in here, right?
Each drone has two communication channels with the ground.
And that's really important from a redundancy perspective,
as well as for safety, for the drones
to keep their formations tight and locked in.
The green and orange lines here represent
two independent data connections.
Orange is Wi-Fi, green is our long-range wireless signal.
And when they are both connected and working normally,
these lines overlap.
But in this area, this is communication loss.
- Really? - Yes.
When we get to a little over 200 feet
above the ground, as we're transitioning
through the bubble boundary, our Wi-Fi channel,
which is the orange line here, begins to degrade.
So, you're showing that you're missing data
once you cross through the bubble barrier.
- Yes. Correct. - Wow, look at that.
Look at that.
There's definitely something in this area
right here that is reducing our Wi-Fi signal.
Well, that's interesting.
Yeah, I wouldn't expect
to lose Wi-Fi communication,
especially at a lower altitude as well.
That makes sense.
But you can kind of see here,
as we start to come out of the bubble boundary,
things seem to kind of resolve themselves,
which is, in itself, interesting.
Wow, look at that.
That is a significant difference.
Yeah. Yep.
I'm interested to see if you saw a similar effect
on the two drone formation flights.
Great question.
I can pull one of those up right now, too.
There you go.
Big loss of signal there.
Wow, look at that.
Hey, Matt, what was the point,
from when you lose connection
and when you get it back, how much time was that?
Yeah, what is that time?
That's, like, a full minute.
What is the speed that these drones were flying?
- Do we know? - During that period
of time when we lost connection to the drones,
we were going about two feet per second horizontally.
Two feet per second for one minute,
that's 120 feet.
We just may have, for the first time ever,
measured the width of the bubble boundary.
- Wow. - Wow.
According to the data, when the drones
zigged and zagged up through the bubble boundary,
the connection to the base station
cut out for a horizontal distance of exactly 120 feet.
This experiment helped us to better map out
the actual dimensions of the bubble
and the thickness of its boundary.
It's about 120 feet thick,
or at least it was on this particular experiment.
Yeah, it could be fluctuating.
And it might only be that thick for the signal
the drones were using to communicate with.
So, we need to measure it with other phenomenon.
- Yeah, that's a good point. - It'll be something
to watch as we do future experiments,
to see if that 120 stays consistent
or if we see fluctuation.
That's a great idea. Man.
This is exciting, guys. This is fantastic.
Preston, Matt, you know, gosh, this has brought
so many insights to the table.
We are so grateful to have this level of detail
coming out of this one exercise.
Can't wait to follow up.
We'll see you guys next time, all right?
Sounds good. Thanks, guys.
- Thanks, everybody. - Thank you.
See you guys.
Now, Pete, I know you've got some data to share with us
from the bubble boundary.
- You ready to bring that up? - Sure.
I'll show you what I have.
So, this is the terrestrial laser scanner data
from, just outside the bubble boundary.
So, you can see over here, this is the face of the mesa,
and then the tree line,
and Homestead Two is right in those trees.
- Look at that. - Now,
what is this?
I can't... zoom over there to it.
Well, that's up in the sky.
Well, it seems like the trees there
appear to be pushed up in the sky
above the Homestead area.
You think we're looking at displaced data there again?
Because we've certainly seen that before.
We have, but displaced from what?
Let's see if that lines up
- with the other features. - Okay.
If you zoomed in just a little bit...
There it is. There it is.
- There it is. - It's supposed to be
right there. Look right there. It's supposed to fit.
- So, it's the top of that tree... - Displaced.
Right over Homestead Two, and it's pushed out.
- 60 meters. - 60 meters, so...
For some reason,
you're displaced about 200 feet
away from Homestead Two.
That's interesting.
Well, but wait a minute.
Right where that displaced treetop is,
that's right where we saw a blue orb
fly from the mesa across Homestead Two
- to the trees on the south. - Yes.
- Wow. - Wow.
Pete's lidar data was split,
and part of it was displaced, like, 200 feet away
from where it should have appeared.
I swear, that's right where Kaleb and I saw a UAP
during the experiment.
That's too crazy to be a coincidence.
Did you record this in Meta-Frame?
We might have a Meta-Frame trace of it.
That would be amazing.
Let's take a look.
I'm gonna take us to the exact time of Pete's lidar scan.
And remember, this will play like a time-lapse.
Okay, so, you may recognize already the form that you see.
You know, that this lines up perfectly
- with the flight plan for the, for the drones. - Yeah.
Okay, so we're gonna play forward.
Any new lights emerge?
I think I see it.
So, watch that little dot right there.
- Okay. - All right, should I back up, Thomas?
- Yeah. - Okay.
I'm backing up.
Okay, going forward.
Okay, there's the light.
That's right over Homestead Two.
That could be it.
- It could very well be. - And see,
if you look close,
these are the posts for the bubble boundary
right here by Homestead Two.
- Yeah. -Yes, they are. - Right?
So, that kind of gives you a reference as to
- where you're at in space. - Yeah. -Yeah.
And it appeared right about the time
we said that it was, it would appear.
So, during about that same time,
we've got your lidar anomaly,
we've got that light in the sky.
And then, we've got the other things
going on with the drones, so that's fascinating.
- I mean, it correlates, anyway. - Right.
I don't know what that UAP was,
where it came from or where it went,
but could it have been related to Pete's messed-up data?
And was it somehow connected
to whatever caused the issues that Sky Elements had
at the start of the experiment?
Just more questions we need to find answers for.
You know, I got to tell you, the more and more we do
these experiments on the barrier
of the bubble wall, whatever it is,
it makes me think it...
that this, it could be a real thing.
- Yeah. - It's so weird.
Well, I have a feeling that's gonna be a driver
for our experiments for weeks to come.
We're gonna figure this out, guys.
- All right. - All right.
This is the kind of homework I like to have.
All right, man.
Every one of these experiments that we perform,
exploring the boundary of the bubble,
is an attempt to determine whether we're dealing with
something that is just a digital artifact
or something that is physically real.
And the more we see these results
where, systems are being interfered with,
or strange things are happening out on that periphery,
the more I think some members of our team
are becoming convinced that we're dealing with something
that is, in fact, physically real.
Any time we can get Sky Elements out here,
it gives us hundreds of GPS sensors,
hundreds of magnetometers
and just so much data to go off of.
Last night's experiment yields us a lot of information
to help us better understand
the nature of this bubble,
and really, how it's affecting us.
It drives home the point
that we need to do more experiments
right along this bubble boundary.
There has to be some sort
of energetic force inside the bubble.
Something that isn't just physical
but has the capability to interact
and even interfere with advanced technology.
And we're not giving up
until we can say for sure exactly what it is.
Be advised, the drilling
has begun.
We are picking up a signal.
- Are you kidding? - I am not kidding.
- There it is. Right there. - Right there.
- This is not us. - Wow!
It looks like it's coming our way.
Yeah, it came backwards on us!
That's crazy. Did that just reverse
when we hit the bubble wall?
Out of nowhere,
- we've got something... - Yeah,
that's got to be hundreds of feet in the air.
What in the world is that?
