All language subtitles for The secret of Skinwalker ranch E08_track3_[eng]

Commencing first run.

Today we're gonna get lidar data

across the bubble boundary.

We've had
a lot of instruments

showing that there's a bubble
that's centered right there

on those towers.

-Fire the Tesla guns.
-All right.

We're looking
for interactivity between

the blob
and the bubble boundary.

Dude, look at that.
33 megahertz.

This is coming from the sky.

-Fire.
-There it goes.

Whoa, that one
just changed direction.

Something literally pushed
the tail of the rocket.

Let's see what's going on here.

Something
pushed that rocket

at the same height
as the Tesla coil.

Maybe it's the blob.

Now, that's crazy.

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.

Hey, Pete.

Thanks for jumping on.

Hey, guys.

I've got some data to show you
from the lidar scans

we took the other day
during drilling.

Can't wait to see it.

A couple days ago,
we had Pete Kelsey

help us run a multi-device
lidar scanning experiment

as we were drilling
a vertical borehole in the mesa.

We wanted to see
if the massive giant anomaly

we call "the bubble"
would appear like it has before

during our past
drilling operations.

Made us wonder if our efforts
to reach the huge,

possibly metallic object
buried in the mesa

is triggering
the bubble to appear.

So, as we drilled in the mesa,

Pete was flying
in Cameron Fugal's helicopter,

performing a lidar scan

at a constant elevation
of about 200 feet.

Meanwhile, Kaleb set up
a stationary lidar scanner

on the ground at the triangle.

I want to show you
the scans from the ground first.

Okay.

I overlaid
all of the scans

that Kaleb took on the ground.

So, here, we're looking
at four of the terrestrial

laser scans at the triangle.

The first thing
you might notice is,

there's no evidence
of the bubble

in any of these scans.

Okay. Well, that could confirm

that the bubble
is not always there.

That's interesting.

The next thing
you might notice

is, these blue icons
show the scanner position

according to the GPS
in the scanner.

Now, what this shows is,
there's about...

...an 80-foot difference

between the first scan
and the last scan,

which doesn't make any sense

because we didn't move
the scanner.

Whoa.

The GPS systems
on these lidar scanners

are programmed to be precise,

so the huge discrepancy
in Pete's data

shouldn't be possible.

Especially since he didn't
even see the bubble

show up in his scans.

So, the next bit
I'll show you

is the lidar that was mounted
on the helicopter.

-Yep.
-Okay.

So, what we're seeing
is the GPS data

that the scanner took
from the helicopter,

which was maintaining
a constant altitude

of about 200 feet
above the mesa.

But look here at this data
just east of the drill site.

The GPS data says
we rose in altitude,

even though we never changed
altitude.

Yeah, there's a hump
there in the flight path data

that's probably 50 to 100 foot
higher in altitude.

I know Cameron was trying
to stay at the same altitude,

so I wonder what caused the hump

towards the eastern side
of the bubble.

Exactly.

That's two
lidar instruments

at different points
in the bubble

that all recorded
completely warped data.

So, were they affected
by something in the bubble

or by our drilling operation
in the mesa,

or was it both?

As always, Pete,
it's, uh, good stuff.

What do you say
we go check in

with the drillers out there?

All right, let's get with it.

All right. Take care, guys.

I'll see you out there soon.

-See you later, man.
-Yeah, thanks, Pete.

-Hey, fellas.
-What's up?

Later that afternoon,
we headed up to the mesa,

where the Triple A Drilling team
was making good progress

on our latest

24-inch-diameter
vertical borehole.

We're at 53 feet deep.

In the next 30 feet here,

we've got the best shot
of intersecting

-with Borehole 2.
-Right.

We are estimating it
to be anywhere

from 55 to 85 feet depth.

That means we've got
a great shot

at bringing up more
of that ceramic-like material.

That would be very valuable.

The hole
is several feet south

of where our lateral drill
was destroyed

last year in Borehole 2

when it hit something
really hard.

What the hell is this?

This is ceramics.

And that's right where
we discovered

those interesting
ceramic materials.

We already drilled
one vertical hole

in that area this year
and didn't find anything,

so we're hoping
we have better luck here.

We can reach a maximum depth
of 90 feet with this rig,

so, fingers crossed,
we'll find more ceramics

along with irrefutable evidence

of whatever
this massive buried object is.

I'm gonna bring my screen
right over here,

and I'm gonna
start taking samples

out of everything that comes out.
-All right.

And if we hit anything
that's manufactured,

that's not natural,
we're gonna stop

-and we'll assess that.
-All right.

I'd say we get back to work.

All right.

As the drilling
continued deeper

and new core samples
came up to the surface...

...Chris and Kaleb
were carefully searching them

-for clues.
-So, look for metal,

look for
the ceramic-like material.

Yeah.
-Look for anything
that is not natural

within this stuff.

What?

Hey, Kaleb, look at this,
we got metal.

Whoa.

Tom. Tom.

-Have them stop.
-Kill the drill?

Yeah.

What? -Come look at this.
-We got something

you got to get a look at.

We got metal.

Completely flat.

That looks like it's...

I mean, that's a flake.

Thomas to the science tent.

We've got something
pretty interesting

that is coming out
of the spoils down here.

You guys want to come down here
and check this out?

Heck yeah, we do.

Absolutely. We'll be right down.

What are we looking at?

We got metal
that matches our thin metal.

-Hey.
-Oh, okay.

This was just sitting
right on top of our last level.

60 to 70 feet.

Take a look at that.
Does that look like

anything that would be
coming off the machine,

through the wear?

Completely different stuff.

The stuff
that we see that comes off

from the drill is usually shiny,

'cause it's just
getting ripped off.

And you can see
that this has rust on it,

which means it's not the newer
metal we see on the drill.

All right, gotcha.

Well, you know,
this looks an awful lot like

the material
we pulled out down below.

The only caveat is,
this looks a lot thinner.

It's-it's like
one layer of it.

As thin as it is,
you can still see, it's layered.

-There's two layers stacked on.
-I... That's what

I'm noticing.
It looks just like

the layered materials
we found already.

That's fantastic, guys.

What is that?

The metal flakes
Chris just found in the spoils

look very similar to what
we pulled out of the mesa

back in 2021.

Yeah, we definitely
want to analyze that.

When we got
the metal tested

at the University of Utah,
we were all shocked to learn

these materials
appeared manufactured

and contained elements
like iron,

aluminum, europium
and tellurium.

Believe it or not,
the same kinds of elements

are used to make
modern spacecraft.

So, are these metal flakes
more of the same material?

And if so, could we be close
to figuring out

what's actually buried in there?

I've got to get that XRF
instrument on this material.

That could tell us what elements
these are made of.

-Fantastic.
-You guys put the core bit

back on and see if we can get
any kind of chunks out of there.

-Okay.
-Yeah. I want to see

-more of it, so...
-Yes.

...let's get to work.

Absolutely fantastic, guys.

Hell yeah.

-So let's, uh, dump this.
-Okay.

I got the metal. It's just in a baggie.
-Okay. Okay.

Two pieces in there.
-And this
is all we've got so far, right?

This is all we got so far.

While drilling
continued below

the 70-foot level
in the borehole

and new core samples
were brought

-to the surface...
-There we go.

...Erik and Chris
scanned the metal flakes

with a portable XRF machine.

It uses X-rays to determine

the elemental composition
of objects.

Let's give it a shot.

It's nice to have
the XRF instrument.

It's really convenient
to have a device

for analyzing samples
on the spot.

This is interesting.

I'm really looking for
any of the trace elements

that showed up in, uh,
previous work,

because if it is similar
material, it could mean

it's part of a larger object
inside the mesa.

Okay, we are seeing
a lot of light element.

We've got the iron and aluminum.

The relatively high abundance
of, uh, iron and aluminum

lines up with what we've seen before.
-Right.

But, look, what
I'm not seeing in this analysis

is the europium,

I don't see tellurium,

like we've seen in those past metal samples.
-Yeah.

But I think the right
thing for us to do is to get

this material
and any more that you find

into a more powerful microscope
in the lab

where we have that elemental,
uh, analysis

-and mapping capability.

We need to get more
of this material

and whatever else we can
bring up from this hole.

Well, I think
I need to head down there

and see what else we find, too.

-There could be more.
-Yeah.

-It's pretty impressive.
-All right.

-I'll be back.
-All right.

We need to get
these samples

to the university for analysis
because we may be able

to determine the origins
of these metals

inside the mesa.

Anything?

-No, not that I'm seeing, but...
-Okay.

...I don't have an eye
like you, Chris.

At 70 feet,
we found metal pieces

that clearly didn't belong
in the sandstone mesa.

But as Chris searched the next
15 feet of drilling cores,

he couldn't find
any more signs of metal,

ceramics or anything strange.

All right, just finish
off the last few feet, huh?

Yeah, sounds good.

The drill
could only reach 90 feet,

so it was do-or-die time
for this hole at that point.

What the heck
just happened?

-We just broke a hose?
-Yep.

That thing was spraying
like crazy.

Oh, it's spraying.

Blew a hydraulic line.

Um...
-Oh, right-right
from that neck there?

-It looks like it.
-Yeah, yeah.

So, uh, you saw
where it was leaking.

Think you'll be able to fix it,
uh, on-site? -No.

No drilling, right?

-I don't see it turning.
-No.

Hey, Thomas, you copy?

Go ahead, Erik.

What's going on down there?

The drill broke
a hydraulic line,

and they're not gonna be able

to fix it today.

Uh, do you know the,

the depth we're at right now?

We're about at 86 feet.

Four feet from, uh,
being at the bottom.

Yeah, copy that.

I say we get down there.

Is it messed up?

Yeah. It's messed up.

Yeah, the drill
only goes down to 90 feet,

so I think pretty much shoots
that third hole in the foot.

-Yeah.
-Yeah. Right?

The drill breaking
down is a minor setback.

The real problem here is

understanding why we found

a couple of small pieces
of rusted metal

that may be some kind
of manufactured material,

and in the same general area
that we found the ceramics.

Is it possible
that we just nicked

one of the smaller anomalies
that our GPR data showed

surrounding the main object?

I'm happy with the fact
that we found

something in this hole, so...

Absolutely, metal came out of this hole.
-Yep.

All we can be
sure of at this point

is that these metal samples
need to be tested in a lab

and we have to drill another
hole as soon as possible.

So the corrective action

is you-you got to get
some replacement parts?

Yeah, so we'll, we'll hustle,
try to get this into town

before anybody closes.

Sounds like
we're done for the day.

Yeah.

That's frustrating.

How's it going,
fellas? -Oh, lovely.

How are you?

-Good to have you back.
-It was gonna be

a few days
before the drill was repaired,

so the next day
we invited Allen Isdell

and the team from LOC Precision
rockets back to the ranch

for a new, specialized rocket
experiment at the triangle.

You know, there's
an ongoing discussion about why

we love to launch
so many rockets

out here at the triangle,

and I would say
it's because rockets

are one of the simplest
and best tools

-to investigate this airspace.
-Yep.

We did an experiment
with drones,

and the data suggests

that there's some kind
of weird magnetic anomaly

at about 750
to at least 1,000 feet high,

directly above the launch tower.

Drones are rolling.

During a drone swarm experiment

a couple of weeks ago...

Looks like the swarm
is getting movement

all throughout the formation.

Whoa!
Oh, it almost hit it.

...the drones went haywire
when they encountered

something giving off a massive
amount of electromagnetic energy

between 750 and 1,000 feet.

In addition,
several of our experiments

have helped us
gather more evidence

of some kind of invisible blob
31 feet high above the triangle

that seems to physically divert
small rockets, electricity,

and even smoke
away from the area.

So, since the triangle is at
the dead center of the bubble,

tonight we want
to gather more data

on whatever is lingering there
in both of those areas.

We'll also be able to gather
more data in the zone

where Pete's lidar scanner
showed all those GPS errors

at the triangle.

So that's why today
our hopes are to launch

as many rockets as we can get up
through our areas of interest

with all the high-speed assets
recording it.

Yeah, we've got you covered.

We've got a couple motors ready.

We can push it up above
the 3,200 mark.

Ah, that's gonna be fantastic.

The plan is to launch
different-sized rockets

right through
our two target zones:

the 31-foot mark of the blob
and the 750-to-1,000-foot zone

where we've detected
that electromagnetic anomaly.

Some of these rockets
will be able to go even higher,

up to a max altitude
of about 3,500 feet,

which we believe
is above the top of the bubble.

They'll be outfitted
with instruments

to measure things like
their airspeed, GPS position,

and even if they encounter
electromagnetic charges.

This will help us record data

that we can compare both inside
and outside of the bubble.

All right, well, uh, we still
got a lot of setup to do.

-Let's just go do it.
-Let's get after it.

I got to set my stuff up
back at the command center.

-Let's get moving.
-Okay.

-This one looks good.
-In addition

to that rocket data,
we'll also be using

several high-speed cameras

positioned all around
the triangle.

Yeah, I think we're good, guys.

Some of these
will be feeding directly

into Erik's Meta-Frame
video software,

which will allow us to catch
things in the processed data

we might not notice
with the naked eye in real time.

These should be ready to go.
-Fantastic.

You know,
what we should do is...

let's start
with one of the smaller rockets

like the ones we usually use
during our experiments.

Let's get 'em loaded,
let's launch.

All right, let's go.

All right, we're
getting ready to launch, guys.

-Call Erik.
-Rockets are hot, Erik.

Copy that, Thomas.

For the first launch,

we're using a smaller rocket
without instruments

that can go 1,500 feet high.

All right.
-That one's hot.

Let's clear out.
We're hot. Everybody out.

We just want to test if it can
actually make it through

the 31-foot blob area

and the 750-to-1,000-foot area

without getting damaged
or diverted.

All right, five, four,

three, two, one.

It wiggled.

It wiggled.
Did you see that?

Big-time.

It appeared that the rocket
wiggled going up.

Yeah, what I saw,

looked like something
was pushing on it.

Yep.

All right, so, uh,
we need to get someone up there

and get the rocket.

Yeah, I'll go grab it.

Right after launching,

the rocket started shaking

like something
stunted its thrust,

and then it veered off
from the triangle

and broke apart like
it collided with another object.

Look at that.

The parachute actually
just ripped right out.

-It actually broke the plywood.

-Well, that's interesting.
-Would that be more

of the chute charge? -I wonder
if we got too much power.

I don't know. Let's talk
to those guys and see.

Check this out.
Ripped the bulkhead out.

-Okay.
-Why?

-I don't...
-Here.

Here you go. Look.
-Doesn't
happen that often, but yeah.

See how it just
ripped it right out down there?

That takes a lot of force.
-Whoa.

-Isn't that weird?
-Yeah.

-That's...
-That is weird.

The last time you were here,
we had that one blow apart.

Right.
-We've
had a bunch do that...

-And that cord ripped apart.
-Yeah.

Yeah. Which happened
about the same spot

we saw this rocket wiggle.

Right.

That's the third rocket
this year

that not only got pushed away

from the 31-foot mark
above the triangle

but also had its interior
parachute cord severed.

Those things can take
up to 500 pounds of force.

So, given that
the rocket broke apart, too,

could it have been destroyed
by the blob?

What do you want us
to prepare for next?

Uh, well, I think it's time

to try one of the larger rockets
with instruments on it.

-Let's get some hard data.
-Okay.

-We'll get that ready.
-Okay.

This six-foot-tall
rocket has telemetry instruments

that will allow us
to track its speed,

altitude and GPS location
in real time,

and it'll reach an altitude
of 3,500 feet

with a lot more thrust.

All right. Need an igniter?
Got it? -Igniter.

It should
be able to pass

straight up through
both zones of interest

unless something
physically stops it.

And if that happens,
we should be able to confirm

where it actually occurred.

Erik, uh,
we're ready to go

with the second rocket launch.

-Are you ready?
-Copy that.

I'm ready at the command center.

-Here we go.
-Going hot.

Going in five, four, three,

two, one.

Oh, my god.

-That one went, dude.
-Holy smokes.

-How high?
-22...

Last altitude:
2,284 feet.

Chute. We got a chute.

So that's about
200 feet above the bubble.

Now, that rocket
cruised up there with ease,

but it was strange
how it maxed out at 2,200 feet.

It should have gone
more than 1,000 feet higher.

I've got my eyes on it.
It has not moved.

Look, it's stalled right there.
It's stalled.

It's like it's stuck
at the top of the bubble.

Right as our rocket
was descending back down

to the triangle,
it suddenly looked like

it was being held still

by something
about 2,000 feet in the air.

That's the exact height
we've determined for the bubble

in our past experiments.

So is that what stopped it
from reaching max altitude

and then grabbed ahold of it
as it started to descend?

Ooh.
It's coming down now.

23 feet per second fall rate.

Okay.

The rocket is now
northwest at 39 degrees.

Holy crap,
look at that.

It's falling away
from the triangle.

That's a heavy rocket.

It should be coming
straight down.

2,000 feet.

Just, it land--it landed
2,000 feet away.

-No way.
-It landed 2,000 feet.

It's right at the edge of the bubble.
-It landed

on the edge--
north edge of the bubble.

Erik, uh,
that rocket just landed

2,000 feet away
from where it launched.

Now, that's suggestive,
isn't it?

Yeah.

If you watched it fall,

it looked like
it was just sliding down

the edge of the bubble.

Okay, copy that.

That rocket launched

from the dead center
of the bubble,

but when it came back down,

it fell like it was
sliding down something

until it landed on the ground
2,000 feet away.

That's the exact distance
from the center of the triangle

to the edge of the bubble.

That's too crazy
to be a coincidence.

Uh, you know what?
Let's go launch

another one of the big rockets.

This time let's use the one

with the high-speed cameras on it.
-Okay.

Erik, be advised,
they're walking out

to the launchpad right now.

Okay, we're gonna
launch the rocket

-with the cameras on it.
-Yeah, copy that.

For the next rocket launch,
we have

a rocket with an upward-facing

and downward-facing
action camera

that allows us to see from both

in the direction that
the rocket is traveling

as well as looking back down
towards the triangle.

Uh, you can
come forward. Got it.

We're hoping to document

those weird effects
from the bubble again,

as well as our primary targets
we've called "the blob"

and that magnetic anomaly
from 750 to 1,000 feet.

All right.

Erik, be advised,

the rockets are on the pad,
we're ready to go.

Are you ready for a launch?

Uh, yeah, Thomas,
I'm standing by, ready.

Everything's running.

Pads armed. In five,

four, three, two, one.

Golly, that dude is up there, man.

Hang on a minute.

It ain't gonna open.

Something's happened
to the chute again.

Shoot.

Something's happening
to the chute again.

She's flapping.
Hang on a minute.

Ugh...

Oh. That sounded...
-Oh.
That did not sound good at all.

You want to try
and find it, Thomas?

-Yeah, I'll go grab it.
-We need that

'cause that has
camera footage on it.

Dang.

After a five-foot rocket

flew straight up through
the center of the bubble

and reached more than
3,000 feet in the air,

something made
its parachute get tangled

and it crashed to the ground.

Hey, Travis.

Cameras from the rocket
are good to go.

Copy that.

I can't wait
to check that video.

Luckily, the cameras
seemed to be intact.

So maybe we captured
something that might

help us figure out
what happened.

Hey, guys, uh, we're burning
daylight pretty quick,

so let's reset everything
for night launches.

-Okay.
-Let's do it.

Now we got pad three.

After those crazy
daylight launches,

we're gonna wait
for the sun to go down

before we launch any more.

-Here you go.
-Thank you.

If things like the blob
or UAPs above it

are physically
affecting these rockets,

we might have a better chance

of seeing them
against the night sky.

All right, uh,
I think we're ready.

Before it gets too dark,

everybody just meet
back here at the tent.

All right, next up
is the rocket with the coil.

The coil rocket.
Let's go.

One of the customized
rockets for this experiment

has been equipped
with a coil of copper wire

to assist in the measurement of
any unusual magnetic conditions.

So, as the rocket passes through
that magnetic anomaly

between 750 and 1,000 feet,

we'll see if any voltages
are being generated

that we can record
and try to better understand

what could be causing them.

All right. Are the other
instruments ready to go?

Yep, we're good.

In addition
to the copper coil,

this rocket will also have the
same data-tracking instruments

like altitude, speed and GPS.

That way, we can compare
the rocket's flight data

to any magnetic anomalies

it encounters
above the triangle.

We are hot.

All right, Erik, we are ready
to launch in, uh, ten seconds.

-Copy that, Travis.
-Going in five,

four, three,

two, one.

3,400 feet.

It's dropping fast.

It's dropping fast.
The chute is not deploying.

Guys,
she's coming in hot.

That's crazy.

-That's a heavy-duty lawn dart.
-Yep.

Oh, my god.

Dang.

All right, I'm gonna go get
in my jeep and go get it.

-Kaleb, you want to go with me?
-Yes.

I think it's on
the other side of the canal.

This is the third time today
that the parachute

on one of the rockets
we launched

didn't deploy
like it should have.

We couldn't see anything
in the moment

that might explain it.

So what the heck happened?

Oh, my gosh.

Thing's, like,
three feet in the ground.

Look, that's--they didn't--
the chute didn't...

It didn't even unfurl.

All right, let's see.

Goddang, it's in there, dude.

You got it.

God, look at the dirt
in that, too, though.

-Dang.
-That's nuts.

At least the cone
is in one piece.

Hopefully, that means
we should be able

to get good data out of it.

I wonder why that,
that failed the way it did.

Unlike the last rocket

that seemed to have a tangled
parachute after it deployed,

this one's didn't deploy at all.

Could that mean
something up there,

maybe in
the electromagnetic zone,

shorted out
the rocket's systems?

Hopefully, we can recover data
to help us figure out

if this was a malfunction
or something much stranger.

Thomas, why don't you guys
get the final rocket ready

with the LED lights?

That'll be our last launch
for the evening.

Copy that.
We'll get going on it now.

Yeah, copy.
I'll be standing by.

The final rocket has been
outfitted with external,

very bright LED illumination.

This illumination
enables us to really see

the full trajectory
of the rockets

on our cameras much better
than earlier in the day

and see if there are
any anomalous changes

on the way up or the way down.

All right,
on goes the light.

Nice.

We will be able
to compare that

to the flight path data
from the instruments

on the rocket itself.

That's awesome, dude.

-How we doing, fellas?
-We're, we're good.

All right. Heck yeah.

The rocket is hot
on the launch tower.

We're gonna launch this thing
in less than ten seconds.

Copy that.
Standing by for launch.

On you, Allen.

Systems armed,

going in five,

four, three, two, one.

-Now, that's a rocket.

That was freakin' awesome.

Holy crap, look at that.

That thing's still going.

-Chute. We got a chute.
-Chute. Yeah.

It's straight
overhead right now.

What elevation's it at?

2,200.

-22?
-Yeah.

So it's just about
to hit the bubble boundary.

It's at 2,200 feet
right now, Erik.

Copy that. 2,200.

-Look at that, hey.
-Look at that.

What's going on here?

Look at that.

It looks like
it's suddenly veered off

in a different direction.

-Yeah.
-Yep.

Dude, that thing's
way over there.

Where is it going?

Damn, you see that?

Yeah, look at that.

It looks like it's suddenly
veered off

in a different direction.

Yeah. It looked like
it jetted the wrong direction.

Now it looks
like it's drifting away

-outside the bubble boundary.
-Yeah.

Dude,
that thing's way over there.

Yeah, Travis,
at the current rate of travel,

looks like it might end up
over here close to my location

-at the command center.

Once again,

we had a rocket fly
straight up through

our zones of interest just fine.

But then, on descent,

it started falling away
from the triangle

like it was sliding down
along the bubble boundary.

Yep,
it landed before the trees.

That's really close
to the bubble boundary.

Yeah, that is awesome.

Erik, that was our final launch
and another crazy one.

All right, guys,
I'm gonna head out.

We'll, uh, meet up
out at the science tent.

Yeah, Erik, we'll see you
out here in a minute.

After every rocket we launched
tonight was coming back down,

it seemed like
the top of the bubble--

or something up there
at the 2,000-foot level--

stopped us
from collecting more data.

What an unusual evening.

I'm ex--really excited
to go look at

the high-speed data
on all these launches.

Can't wait to see that.

Yeah, well, I, you know,
I... I got to get the data

off the rocket systems.

I want to get back over
to the command center

and, uh, start analyzing data.

Perfect.
-All right.
Well, let's, uh,

start packing
some of this stuff up

and let's call it a night.

-What do you say?
-I'm ready.

-Let's get it.
-All right.

Been a long day.

You guys ready to look
at some rocket data?

-Yeah.
-I want to take us back

to the second rocket
that we launched during the day

-with the cameras mounted on it.
-Okay.

This is the camera
mounted to the rocket.

We're looking
back down at the ground.

-Oh, awesome.
-Oh, nice.

Now, as you recall,
this is the one

where the chute
didn't deploy correctly.

-Yeah.
-Right.

So I'm gonna play
it through at normal speed.

-Man, look at that.
-Oh, that's cool.

It's up there, too. Look at that.

Okay, so we should
hit the chute charge--

-there it is.

And then we get
the 3D pendulum motion

-until it hits the ground.
-Yeah, so...

so I-I would, I would say
that's as close

to our textbook version
of how things should go.

Nothing obvious to explain why
a chute wouldn't deploy.

-Yeah.
-Yeah.
-Well, let's watch

this thing as it goes up
frame by frame.

Okay, so we've got an ignition.

Yeah, that's amazing.

Okay, and now I'm just
moving one frame at a time here.

Now, see how--
we're still only about

ten or 15 feet up right here,

maybe getting close
to the 30-foot mark.

yeah, things are changing.

Wait, what is that?

Back it up and let's see

where--how that--where--okay.
-Okay.

-That's one frame back...
-One frame.

-...one forward.
-Look at part

of the rocket exhaust.
That's horizontal.

That's in the wrong direction.

Okay, so let's keep going,
frame at a time.

-Look at that.
-And it separates.

It sure does.
In one frame.

Whatever it is, it's fast, too.

Look, there's nothing else doing this.

Like something went through
the plume from underneath it.

Yeah, and pushed it out.

That's exactly
what it looks like.

It looks like something
went through the plume, yeah.

Like you shot an arrow
or a bullet

-through it or something.

That's an odd event right there.

The slow-motion video
clearly shows something

moving rapidly through
the rocket's exhaust flames

shortly after it launched.

And it's directly over the area
where Pete's lidar scanner

was showing
those strange GPS readings.

So, could we have caught
whatever was affecting

our lidar scanner
at the triangle?

And could this also be connected
to whatever prevented

the parachute from deploying?

Now I have, uh, another

launch here
that I want to share with us.

-Great.
-This is gonna be Meta-Frame.

So this is one of our
night launches, of course.

This is the rocket
we had with the coils

to detect magnetic anomalies.

We had the camera mounted
on the inside of the rocket...

...looking at that sensor
to record changes

in the magnetic field.

So, you typically
just expect to see zero?

No, you'd-you'd expect
to see some small changes,

like the two digits, probably.

If it starts getting
really big numbers, then...

then it means it went through
a really strong magnetic field.

I'll just let it
play through at, uh,

normal speed.

So we are in flight.

Did you see it jump
right there? Look at that.

There were some big, big spikes.

There was a spike.

Ooh, look at that. 270-something.
-I saw it. 273.

273 right there.

We are clearly seeing
a voltage...

-...which means that,
uh, that coil is cutting through

-a magnetic field.
-That's exactly right.

What have
we found up there?

What have
we found up there?

That's a really good question.

The rocket with
the copper coil that we launched

above the triangle
detected an electric field

that was several times higher
than what you would normally see

in the natural environment.

So, even though
the bubble stopped us

from collecting as much data
as we wanted,

we did get enough
to confirm that there is

some kind of electromagnetic
anomaly high above the triangle.

The experiment worked.

Now we just need to map it
to the altitude.

-Exactly.
-So, um, what altitude is it?

Right, so I've got

what I need to do that.

Let's take a look
at that flight data.

Oh, that's the data
from the rocket's flight path?

Yeah. So, what we're looking at here

is the altitude data
from the Kate system.

What we had was
the boost phase here in red.

In purple, this is the rocket
continuing upward.

The green
is tracking the descent.

-Okay.
-Okay, so keep in mind,

this one did not do

-a successful chute deploy.
-Oh, that's right.

So, if you match
the voltages

-to these dots...
-I can.

Okay.

We can see at what height
we got the voltage spike.

And I already calculated it,
and the spike in the voltage

started at this dot
which is at 750 feet,

right where the drones went
wonky a couple of weeks ago.

-Interesting.
-Okay.

So, not only
did this experiment produce

more evidence
of an electromagnetic anomaly

above the triangle,

but also it's located
about 750 feet high

and might go as high
as 1,000 feet.

That's pretty much
dead center of the bubble.

That area might be

interfering with the equipment.

-Yeah.

It might have messed up
the rockets

during this experiment
and the drones last week.

Yeah, and is that
because it's passing through

that zone there
and that's a possible effect?

-Could be.

I'm intrigued about that.

-For sure.
-Well, before we wrap up

our review, there's something
I want to show you

from the last launch we did.

This is some video
that was taken

with the night vision camera.

Yeah, so there's our launch.

And then we have
the chute deploy right here.

Chute.
We got a chute.

-Whoa.
-Yeah, I saw something--

-Right there.
-Yep.
-Back that up.

What, what was that?

Okay.

-There it is.
-Yes.

We'll go frame by frame.

I don't know
what that is.

-That's weird.
-That's not a bug.

Okay.

So what do you make of it?

I don't know
what to make of that.

I don't know what
to make of that.

We may have
caught something here,

and I-I can't tell you
what I think that is.

I don't know what that is.

I don't know if that light

was some sort of UAP
or what it was.

But the fact that it showed up
just after the rocket chute

was deployed is interesting.

Because that's when
we saw the rocket

suddenly veer off
in a different direction.

We thought it might be
from making contact

with the bubble's top boundary.

But could it have been from
a collision with this thing?

If so, what was it?

And where in the heck
did it come from?

Well, look, you know,
we've reviewed

quite a few launches and, uh,

quite a few different kinds
of data here.

It's always been interesting.

It just keeps getting
more interesting.

Lot of ways to, uh, to study

the space, you know,
right there above the triangle.

I think we should conduct
a lot more experiments

-in that space.
-Yeah.

Certainly, it would be
interesting to figure out

what some of these anomalies really are.
-Yeah.

Yeah.
-I'm sure
we'll come up with something.

-Great.
-Good.

All right.
-All right.
That's a great review.

Yeah,
it was a great review.

We've done so much
in that space

just above the triangle,

and, uh, you know,
sometimes we see things,

uh, unexpected things,
uh, play out

whenever we energize that space
with rockets.

We're allowing ourselves
to be led by the data

because it has a lot to teach us
about what we're dealing with.

This effort can be
both exciting and frightening.

Do our experiments
trigger or activate

this energetic force
that lies above the triangle?

And the way that our equipment
continues to be manipulated

by unknown, unseen forces

is something
that demands answers.

The evidence is
mounting with each experiment

that the bubble
may be the center

of all the phenomena
we're investigating out here.

From the blob to all the UAPs
and even whatever's in the mesa,

the bubble just might be
the common thread.

So, one way or another,

we're not stopping
until we figure it out.

We got down to 40 foot?

We should hit that anomaly
we were looking for.

Oh. Whoa, look here.

That's a piece of metal.

It's been in the mesa
for a while.

I've got some movement

on a light source
near Homestead Three.

Approaching Homestead Three
with a drone.

-Have you seen this?
-What are those lines?

That's heat.

It's like somebody's
got a furnace on.

There's something
moving around in there.

Is anybody in there?

-We're gonna go check it out.
-All right, go.
