NARRATOR: For years, scientists
have been working to reveal

the secrets of Skinwalker Ranch.

But is it possible that
the clues to unlock the mystery

are located beyond the borders
of this hub of high strangeness?

Now, an ex-CIA agent
and a veteran journalist

have been recruited
by the Skinwalker team

to go on a high-stakes mission
across America.

Look at all this activity
that’s happening.

- That’s unbelievable.
- Oh, my gosh.

Look at that.
Look at that, look at that.

NARRATOR:
The goal: uncover evidence

that may finally
expose the truth.

- [boom]
- What is that thing?

It’s getting more intense.
You ever seen

- anything like this before?
- No.

♪

This is just the beginning.

ERIK: Gentlemen,
welcome back to the ranch.

I’m looking forward to finding
out what we’ve got lined up

for the next part
of our investigation.

Well, we’re happy to be back,
and we think we’ve got

a really interesting story
this time.

This is a ranch where
not only do we have

a really interesting
physical location,

but we’ve got
a great human story.

Yeah, we’ve got
a pretty good lead here.

It came out of the book
The Hunt For The Skinwalker.

TRAVIS: You’re talking
about Kelleher

and George Knapp’s book?

- PAUL: Right.
- ANDY: Right.

So what part of it is
this from? What is the story?

There’s a whole section in that
book called "Other Hot Spots,"

- right?
- Mm-hmm.

Inside that book, they
reference a ranch in Colorado.

PAUL: And the story in
the book references a family and

a series of strange events
over the years,

but keeps the names involved
completely hidden.

They’re pseudonyms.
No name of the location.

That is kept concealed.

They called it
Rocky Mountain Ranch.

We reached out to MUFON,
Colorado MUFON,

and the head of Colorado MUFON
is a woman named Katie Paige.

So this is a real puzzle
to put together,

and Katie really is
the keystone.

Turns out Katie Paige is part of
that family living on the ranch

and has firsthand knowledge
of this whole story.

- So she is an experiencer.
- Correct.

Katie herself was
an experiencer at age nine

on the ranch
referenced in the book.

And when we got in contact
with her, she actually turned us

on to a very little-known report
that was filled out at the time

by a group called the Aerial
Phenomena Research Organization,

the actual precursor to MUFON.

NARRATOR: In 1978,

the Aerial Phenomena Research
Organization, or APRO,

did a thorough investigation
at an undisclosed location

in Colorado they code-named
Rocky Mountain Ranch.

And the APRO report from
the late ’70s documents

- a lot of this phenomena.
- And the ranch itself

actually has a lot of
the same strange phenomenon

that you have
here on Skinwalker Ranch.

Now, going through
this APRO report,

we find really detailed
multi-witness accounts

of everything from orbs
to electronic voices coming in

through technology
that’s got no power,

humming sounds,
multiple cryptid sightings.

Really, really strange
phenomenon that was vetted

when the report was originally
published in the 1970s,

but then somehow
this report has gone unnoticed.

Nobody’s paid attention to it.
It was mostly lost

until we connected with Katie,

and then Katie actually
brought it to light for us.

And now Katie,
reconstructing her own history,

has agreed to go back
to the ranch with us.

’Cause she has never
been back to the ranch.

This is gonna be her first time
setting foot on that property

since she was
eight, nine, ten years old.

- Oh, that’s fantastic.
- And we have some

open questions, right?
First, the current ranch owners.

What have they experienced?
Have they seen anything strange

on the ranch? And records show
that they’ve owned this ranch

for almost 30 years.
And then what’s going to happen

to the ranch when we take Katie,
a known experiencer,

back to the ranch?
Will the ranch react?

If so, how will it react,

and what can we do to
measure that reaction?

Yeah,
that is the right question.

Yeah, and I’m really excited
about there being a new place

that has almost identical--
reporting, anyway--

of phenomenology, so I’d really
like to see what commonalities

there are and what data you
collect. So good luck, guys.

Yeah. Well, it’s go time.

TRAVIS: Can’t wait to
hear back from you.

ANDY: All right.

NARRATOR: Due to the sensitive
nature of this investigation,

the current owners of
Rocky Mountain Ranch have asked

for their names and location
to be kept anonymous.

PAUL: I am so excited
about this story here

at Rocky Mountain Ranch
because this place was sort of

Skinwalker before
Skinwalker even happened, right?

I think Katie’s reaction to this
is gonna be key for us, right?

Because, again, this is
something she experienced

as a child, and over time,
it’s sometimes hard to sort out

those memories, especially if
it was something traumatic.

There might be a lot of stuff
that she’s repressed.

- ANDY: Yeah.
- Going through this process

with her, combined with the data
that we hopefully can gather

with, you know, new
instrumentation that wasn’t

available could really open up
some new information about this.

ANDY: Now, Paul, we are
in a little bit of a race

against the clock, ’cause we
have a limited time to be here.

We’ve got a lot of ground to
cover too, right?

So, I think,
let’s go at it this way.

I can talk to Katie.
You can go out to the ranch

and meet with the current owners
and sort of see

what their experience has been,
and then we’ll,

you know, try to regroup
and see what’s going on.

- ANDY: Yeah. Absolutely.
- Good luck. Talk to you soon.

♪

Tell me about your connection
to the ranch.

Yeah, it’s kind of interesting.
I mean, this is the mid-70s,

so my mom,
she met a gentleman at work,

and that gentleman
owns the ranch.

- How old were you at the time?
- I’m nine to 12 years old.

Nine to 12. So you spent
a lot of time out here?

Yeah, a little bit.
Every time that

either my sister or I
spent time on the ranch,

unusual things happened.

What I recall the most was,

it was, like, this heavy
feeling of just being uneasy,

being watched.

♪

ANDY: Hi, there.
Thanks so much for having me.

GREG: No problem, absolutely.

This is a really interesting
place. I’m sure you know

some of the history about
the property that you’re on.

Um, a little bit from what
we were looking up online,

just some people
talking about it.

You know, sometimes
they see some lights in the sky.

I mean,
we haven’t seen too much.

I mean, I think Dad
has seen some before.

Yeah, I’ve seen some
strange things in the sky.

You have? What have you seen?

Well, what it was,
it was a whole string of lights.

- There was 27 of ’em.
- Twenty-seven?

I was in the back porch,

and they were all
in a perfect line.

- Wow.
- GREG: And then they just--

They came from south to north,
and then they made a curve,

and then they
straightened back out

and then they just
went out of sight.

ANDY: Wow.
How long ago was that?

Uh, about five years ago.

And when you first saw that,
what did you think?

[chuckles] I didn’t know
what to think.

I was like, "Well, that’s--
that’s a UFO,

"because I don’t know anything
that looks like that."

ANDY: So, when you took over in
the ’80s, did you take ownership

from the previous owners,
or was it abandoned at the time?

It was abandoned.
Nobody was living here.

But the fella,
we just bought it from him.

But it was empty
when we moved here.

- GREG: Yeah.
- That’s interesting.

KATIE: The scariest night
at the ranch,

the adults were
in the front room.

They were playing board games,
as I recall.

It was, like, really late
at night, to my memory,

and the three boys, my sister,
and I were hanging out

in the boys’ bedroom.

So, all of a sudden,
we hear, like, a--

- [humming]
- PAUL: Right.

KATIE: Just like that.
Just a hum.

And any time that
hum sound would come,

you know something’s
gonna happen.

Like-- like,
so everybody’s on edge.

So when the hum would happen,
other things would happen?

Other things would happen.
So everybody’s like,

"Oh, hold on, here we go."
And when that humming started,

all the lights in the house
went out.

And at that moment--
and it was like a window

kind of like this-- the bright,
brighter than the sun light

comes through that window.
Everybody’s freaking out,

but here’s the thing. It was,
like, from every orifice

of the house,
this electronic-sounding voice

comes out of the house, and
it basically stated, you know,

"We have allowed you to remain.

"We’ve interfered with
your lives very little.

"Your friends will be instructed
to remain silent concerning us."

- "Concerning us."
- "Concerning us."

- That must’ve been terrifying.
- It was terrifying.

This has stayed with me and
affects me still to this day.

I believe now that
something connected to me then,

that night at that ranch.

♪

NARRATOR:
In the 1978 APRO report,

the water cistern was one of
the key areas on the ranch

where multiple strange
anomalies were documented.

ANDY: And this is
the original cistern?

- GREG: Yes.
- I’m actually gonna take

a few measurements here. I can
walk you through everything.

- Sure.
- Nothing secret.

We are gonna look for
organic radiation,

and this is often a sign
for us of whether or not

there could be something
more happening around us.

All right, here we go.
Oh, this is an interesting--

this is interesting right
out of the gates, actually.

So you’re showing

150% higher
radiation levels here

than what we would
expect anywhere else.

It says 26.6 micrograms.

That is very, very elevated.

Not elevated to the place
where you have to be afraid

of anything in terms of, like,
you know, radiation poisoning

or radiation damage,
but this is much higher than

what you would expect
to see in any other

kind of natural forest
or open place.

NICOLE: What is that noise?

- [faint humming]
- Did you hear a noise?

NICOLE: I heard this,
like, humming noise.

Well, that is a humming noise.
I hear that too.

GREG: It’s coming from...

Have you heard
that noise before?

Not that particular one, no.

You’ve never heard that before?

Does that guy still
fly those planes anymore?

- GREG: No.
- ANDY: That doesn’t sound like

a plane or a drone.

That’s a pitched hum.

I don’t know
what to make of that.

[tense music playing]
Whoa.

It’s kind of mind-boggling to me
that in all the time that

you’ve been here, you haven’t
heard that humming sound.

Your ranch is actually one of
the best-documented locations

for strangeness
that we’ve come across.

And one of those reports
actually talks about

a specific phenomena
that happened right here,

- right at this cistern.
- Really?

There was noise coming
from in this area at night,

in the evening, and then they
came out here to investigate,

and the strange noises actually
were so intimidating that

they ran back to the house
and felt the phenomenon

- follow them back to the house.
- GREG: Really? Wow.

ANDY: We just started
researching the cistern,

and now, out of nowhere,
a humming sound starts

that the current ranch owners
have never heard before.

The only difference between the
APRO report and what’s happening

right now is that we’re running
high-quality microphones,

and we’re actually
capturing and recording

the sound that’s happening
right now.

So I get to package this up

and send it back to
Travis and Erik to take apart.

I think the next step is
really just to connect with

my partner Paul
and then start getting

the wheels rolling
on the experiments.

- GREG: Great.
- NICOLE: Let’s do it.

♪

PAUL: How are you feeling now?
This is a big step.

You know,
I’m feeling more emotional

- than I thought I would feel.
- Right.

KATIE: You know, I think
the culmination of years

and years and years of research
and wanting to find answers,

and that’s kind of all
culminated to this very moment.

NARRATOR: After almost 50 years,
investigator Katie Paige is

returning to
Rocky Mountain Ranch

for the first time
since she experienced

terrifying strangeness there
as a young girl.

KATIE: Oh, my gosh.

- Oh, my goodness.
- PAUL: You look very excited.

KATIE: Okay,
so here’s the house.

PAUL: I think maybe
let’s pull up over here.

- KATIE: Here. Okay.
- PAUL: We’ll start our tour.

KATIE: All right.

ANDY: Katie went through
something really intense

when she was a kid.
I’m actually amazed that

she is willing to come back
out here and face it head-on.

I mean, you can really
see the courage in this woman,

even as you still see
this flicker of terror

in the ten-year-old girl
inside her.

Katie,
can you give me a sense of

what experiences you had
out here personally?

Yeah. I mean, it’s interesting
what we remember, because

I remember that night in the
house and that humming sound.

So they would always hear
hums and bangs underground.

ANDY: So if you can believe it,
we were just here earlier today

- and the hum came up.
- Really?

A loud hum that the owners
who have been here

for the last 30 years
had never heard before.

You’re kidding me.

We were on site at
the original cistern,

and I’ll take you there and
show you exactly where we were.

[suspenseful music playing]

I do recall that there was,
you know, sounds and bangs

and other activity that would
occur near the cistern up here.

ANDY: As we were taking
readings and measurements here,

we then heard a hum,
a maddening, long-term,

frustrating hum that just seemed
to fill up the entire area.

As if they knew
we were back investigating.

♪

What I’m feeling right now
is that fear of everything,

’cause this isn’t
a distant memory

that we were
forbidden to talk about.

- Like, it’s physically here.
- ANDY: Right.

PAUL: All right. So, Andy,
do you wanna show us the silo?

Yeah. Sure.
We can go that direction.

KATIE: Okay.
Yeah, I remember the silo

always gave me the creeps.

ANDY: Why was it creepy to you?

KATIE: You know,
you were always feeling watched

and things were
hiding behind things

and it’s always,
like, a little unnerving.

PAUL: All right, well, we got
some weather coming in now, huh?

ANDY: Katie, did you ever
have anything happen

around the silo?

KATIE: Not around the silo,
but I just remember

always wanting
to stay away from it.

[unsettling music playing]

This just was always
an eerie place back here

behind the ranch house,

and the closer you got
into the woods,

the creepier it got.

Is that empty in there now?

PAUL: Yeah, it’s sort of
fallen into disuse.

KATIE: Oh, wow.
Just saw an animal run that way.

- ANDY: Really?
- KATIE: Yeah, I did.

It just ran right that way,
so I don’t know what it was.

It wasn’t that large.

PAUL: You’re sure
you saw something?

KATIE: I’m positive. 100%.

Where are the tracks?

There should be tracks,
’cause I just saw it.

ANDY: Let’s just make sure
we stay close together.

KATIE: Yeah.

You see the tracks in the snow?

- PAUL: Yes, look at that.
- KATIE: Yeah, look at that.

- PAUL: Look at those.
- KATIE: Do we wanna

follow ’em for a little way?

PAUL: Look at how they just end!

KATIE: They just stop.
They just end right here.

Just, boom.
Right here, they end.

PAUL: It goes right to
a dead spot of snow.

- There’s nothing there.
- KATIE: No, that’s weird.

I see ’em there,
and then nothing.

PAUL: So this is maybe the
last one, and then it just...

KATIE: It’s just gone.
There’s nothing.

Let’s walk this way
to the tree line.

Do we see any tracks?

Definitely getting a little
creepier back in here.

Seeing those footprints
is a little unnerving.

NARRATOR: As the team
approaches another hotspot

of high strangeness
in the 1978 APRO report,

the tree line on
the northern part of the ranch,

Andy wants to test
the radio frequency spectrum

for any anomalies.

Katie,
what we’re looking for here are

some very specific frequencies
that seem to pop up

time and again whenever we’re in

these areas of
concentrated strangeness.

NARRATOR: When the
Skinwalker team encounters

strange phenomena, they often
detect a 1.6 gigahertz signal

on a spectrum analyzer.

1.6 gigahertz is in a privileged
radio frequency zone

that’s reserved for
Earth-to-space

and space-to-Earth
communication.

Paul, you gotta see this, man.
Look at this.

- PAUL: What we got?
- ANDY: Look at this activity.

- KATIE: Oh, my gosh.
- PAUL: Wow.

ANDY: We’re seeing readings
at 1.6, 1.7, and 1.9.

Look at that.
Look at that spike at 1.7

- and then back to 1.9.
- KATIE: That just went way up.

ANDY: So something is causing
these huge energy spikes.

If this was a man-made signal...

- KATIE: There it goes again.
- ...we would expect the energy

to be very consistent.

We’ve seen spikes at 1.6 before,
but we’ve never seen

this much activity
across this whole range.

Exactly right. This is a ton of
radio energy in a remote area.

After seeing these
radio frequencies so active

and so intense, it absolutely
confirms in my mind

that we need to do some kind of
radio test while we’re here.

There is something on this ranch

that seems to be trying
to communicate.

What happens if
we communicate back?

♪

♪

ANDY: Jares, I really
appreciate you coming out

and helping us with this.
We have a lot of equipment that

we’ve already been able to
set up, but I can tell that

- you’ve brought some new stuff.
- JARES: Oh, yeah.

I can see you already have
a spectrum analyzer over there,

and this one’s gonna be
significantly more sensitive.

NARRATOR: To test the idea
that some kind of phenomenon

at Rocky Mountain Ranch
might be trying to communicate

with Katie and team,
Andy and Paul have brought in

engineer and ham radio
specialist, Jares Doverspike,

to help them try to
communicate back.

I brought this receiver here,
and I know that you’re

wanting to be able to transmit
on the 1.6 gigahertz frequency,

so I also brought this one.

- PAUL: This is a transmitter?
- JARES: Correct.

NARRATOR: For this experiment,
they are going to broadcast

on the 1.6 gigahertz frequency

that is correlated with high
strangeness at Skinwalker Ranch.

TRAVIS: We’re gonna be
broadcasting a sweep across

this 1.6 gigahertz
part of the spectrum

where we’re getting these
weird signals here on the ranch.

We’re going to
hopefully stimulate

the biggest response so far.

NARRATOR: The only way to
legally transmit a human voice

at 1.6 gigahertz
all the way into space

is to use a ham radio.

Since I am a ham radio operator,
I have to follow the law.

However, there’s this thing
that I can take advantage of

called harmonics, which means
that whenever you transmit at

a specific frequency,
there’s some energy that will be

translated to every
single multiple of that.

So what this is gonna allow us
to do is essentially, like,

shout into a cave and
create an echo that does echo

- at the frequency we want.
- Yes.

PAUL: I’m really excited
about the new direction

we’re gonna be taking
things here. I mean,

location after location,
we have gotten strange readings

on the spectrum analyzer in
this 1.6 gigahertz bandwidth.

For the first time,
we’re gonna try and talk back

on that bandwidth, and
I am really wondering what--

you know, what kind of
results we’re gonna get.

I mean, the piece of the puzzle
here is that back in 1976

when Katie was here
with her family,

there was some kind of broadcast
that came through

stereo equipment that
was essentially turned off.

So if we can do anything
to trigger that kind of signal,

we wanna pick it up with
this kind of equipment.

And this is the physical place

where voices were heard through
radios during the blackout.

So we’re gonna
recreate that situation.

So what we’re gonna do is
set up these old AM radios,

and we will have them tuned
to basically just static,

to an empty band,
to an empty channel.

[static crackling]

NARRATOR: The plan is
after they broadcast a voice

at 1.6 gigahertz
into the atmosphere,

they will use multiple radios
placed inside the house

to monitor for
any audio anomalies

coming through
the radio speakers.

They’ve also placed
a highly sensitive microphone

next to the radios to capture

and graphically display
any response.

So Jares, here’s where we’re
actually porting in from

that microphone. So if we start
to see significant variation

in the amplitudes of these,
then we’ll know that

there’s something that’s
being transmitted through

those AM radio channels.

I think we have everything
that we need

set up for tonight’s experiment.

All we need to do now
is grab Katie and Nicole.

The real objective that
we have here is if this ranch

is trying to communicate,
then this is our chance

to knock on the wall
and see if it knocks back.

- Okay.
- Let’s see.

We’re gonna split up into teams.

Katie, if you’ll stay here
with me and and Jares.

We’re gonna monitor
everything on this side.

And then Paul,
you’re taking Nicole?

We’ll be out behind the house
scanning these skies.

And then we’ll be
in touch on walkies.

If you guys see anything of
significance, let us know.

And if we see anything on
our side, we’ll call you back.

- Sounds good.
- KATIE: All right.

NICOLE: Let’s do it.

All right, Jares.
You wanna turn this guy up

and see if we’re picking up
any incoming transmissions?

JARES: Absolutely.

ANDY: All right, Paul,
we are set and ready to go,

getting ready to send
a signal at 1.6 gigahertz.

I’m gonna count down from
five for you. Is that good?

Copy you.
We are eyes on the sky.

All right, stand by. Here we go.
Five, four, three, two, one.

KN4[bleep], CQ-CQ-CQ.

[static crackling]

So far I have nothing.

[tense music playing]

I got nothing.

So if we want to,
or what I’d like to do, is,

Katie, how do you feel
about sending a transmission?

KATIE: Yeah.

KN4[bleep] having a secondary
person
operating under my station.

Do you remember me, my sister,
and the three boys?

We’re back,
and we’d like to talk to you.

[static crackling]

[high-pitched
electronic droning]

Oh, my gosh!
Did you see that reaction?

- Yeah, it just went "Whoo!"
- Holy smokes!

♪

We just had a massive
reaction from the house

when Katie sent
that transmission.

- Get out of here.
- Look at this.

ANDY: No, man. I can’t--
I’m not even making it up.

Look at this!

What kind of reaction?

Tons of energy
coming from the house.

I’ve got goosebumps up and down
my body right now.

- Oh, my God.
- ANDY: Oh, my God.

The house is absolutely
reacting to Katie’s voice.

It is amazing to see.

So I’m communicating
with something in the house?

Do you have
any explanation for that?

I do not have any explanations.

ANDY: Hey, we better get
you and Nicole in here.

You gotta see this
for yourselves.

- We’ll head in.
- All right,

we’re waiting for you, man,

before we do anything next.

- PAUL: We’re on our way.
- Unbelievable.

That’s unbelievable.
Nicole, you live here...

- Uh, yeah.
- ...so I want you to see it.

And then Paul, this is, I mean,
this is what we’ve been chasing.

- Yeah.
- I’d like to transmit

the exact same way
when Katie starts talking.

Okay.

Remember me, Katie, my sister,
and the three boys

that were on this ranch?

We are back
and we want to talk to you.

[static]

[high-pitched
electronic droning]

ANDY: Whoa, whoa!

There’s definitely...

I don’t know
what kind of response it is,

but there is a response.

I’m just sitting here
with my mouth open.

- [laughing]
- What is that?

I don’t understand it.
I don’t understand it at all.

Jares, if you have
an explanation--

I have zero explanations.
None whatsoever.

Well, I’m just wondering,
does this correlate--

Could this correlate
with that disembodied

electrical voice
that we heard in the house?

The original structure seems to
consistently respond to Katie.

- She’s the trigger right here.
- She’s the trigger.

Like, there’s a connection.

Like, it attached decades ago

and it’s never left me and
that’s always what I’ve felt.

It’s just never left me.

♪

ANDY: Man, this ranch is weird.

What’s so striking to me is
just the layer upon layer

of evidence that
we’re seeing here, right?

And they seem to be compounding
and proving each other true.

Right?
We’re not only able to confirm

what the original APRO report
said with our own experiences,

I heard humming right there
at the cistern.

- Did you hear a noise?
- I heard this humming noise.

Well, that is a humming noise.
I hear that too.

We’re sitting here watching
massive radiation readings,

talking to the current residents
here, hearing humming

right there along with them.
This place is absolutely proving

to be everything that
was reported in the 1970s.

And, you know,
the radio experiment.

Yeah, I mean, I have never seen
anything like what we did

with that radio experiment.

We are back
and we want to talk to you.

[high-pitched
electronic droning]

Whoa, whoa!

I can’t get it out of my head,
man.

It certainly seems like
this ranch reacts.

What I’m trying to figure out
is where best to go next.

This ranch is absolutely
trying to communicate.

We’ve taken some
very gentle approaches

to try to communicate back.

I wonder what happens
if we get more intense.

One thing we might
want to think about

is what they’ve done
on Skinwalker is use rockets

and see if somehow we can
trigger any further activity.

You know, a rocket experiment
is a great next step.

We know the team at Skinwalker
was able to use rockets

to trigger UAP activity.

- We are ready for launch in...
- Three, two, one. Ignition. Go.

All right, team.
Keep your eye on it.

Whoa, whoa, whoa. Wait, what’s
this right here. What’s this?

- What’s this?
- We got something!

We got something!
We got something right here.

Guys, we just had a UAP appear.

We want to use some basic
rockets that just launch up

to altitude and see if we can’t
use those rockets to trigger

some kind of reaction.

I mean,
just go right at it head on.

Yeah, I mean, head on is
exactly what the rockets do.

We’re basically gonna go from
trying to knock on the door

to trying to kick the door in.

Just barge right through it.

You know, that might be
poking at it enough

to get some kind of reaction.

Yeah. I think we’ve got a plan.

Yeah, absolutely.

♪

- ANDY: Hey, guys.
- DAVE: Good morning.

- ANDY: Good morning.
- How are you?

Great day
to launch some rockets.

Yes, sir. Thank you.

Let’s see if we can get
something out there for you.

NARRATOR: Paul and Andy are
meeting with Skinwalker Ranch’s

rocket experts from Loc
Precision to conduct experiments

at Rocky Mountain Ranch,
where Katie Paige experienced

high strangeness
as a young girl.

Their first rocket launch
will be near the tree line

where Katie, Andy, and Paul
found mysterious tracks

to nowhere.

PAUL: Look at this trail.

It goes right
to a dead spot of snow.

- There’s nothing there.
- KATIE: No.

NARRATOR: And received strange
radio frequency spikes.

We’ve seen spikes at 1.6 before,
but we’ve never seen

this much activity
across this whole range.

This is a ton of radio energy
in a remote area.

Greg and I will be on stand by
as the retrieval team,

so we’ll have a second set
of eyes seeing what behavior

the rockets show on the way up
and on the way down

and then we’ll be able
to pick up anything

- that’s left on the ranch.
- Katie and I will

stay here with you,
and we’ll be in touch

with these guys the whole time,
spotting and tracking.

All right, time to go to work.

NARRATOR: The first medium
sized rocket should reach

an altitude of 2,500 feet.

The team will watch for anything

out of the ordinary over
this hot spot,

such as a failed takeoff
or changes in the flight path,

which could signify an unknown
force or object in the sky.

DAVE: All right,
skies are clear, pads armed,

and we are going in five,
four, three, two, one.

[rocket whooshing]

ANDY: Wow.

ALLEN: All right,
everybody keep your eyes out.

- Yep.
- Definitely a straight flight.

DAVE: Yeah, still holding
at about 22 degrees north,

right above the tree line.

Okay. I just lost it.

Can’t see it.

- There it is.
- I see it too.

She’s trucking still dead north.

- All right, good luck, guys.
- Thanks, man.

All right. Probably 100 yards.

Yeah, it’s coming down right in
line over these trees

to the left
of that smaller red barn.

[suspenseful music playing]

I’m not seeing it, Greg.

All right, Paul.
We are not seeing it yet.

So this one has drifted
quite a bit to the north

and to the east, so we’re
gonna have to go hunting

a little bit more.

This rocket, it’s nowhere
near the last heading

that was reported.
This is starting to look

a lot like the rocket
that went off course

at Skinwalker Ranch.

- There it goes, there it goes.

Wow!

What was that bend all about?

It cocked dramatically to
the north so it couldn’t go up

through the beam.

What in the crap?

So there better be
some upper-level winds

that would explain
that out of the north.

What wind?

Why don’t we take all
this stuff and we’ll start

getting it so we can
get the next launch site set up

while they’re out recovering

while we still got
some daylight?

Greg, is that it? Is that it?

- Yeah, there it is.
- Holy [bleep].

What’s it doing over here?
This is way off course.

Yeah, that’s it right there.
Look at that. Look at that.

- GREG: I’ll come with you.
- ANDY: Yeah, come on out, man.

All right. We got eyes
on the package, Paul.

I am in route to retrieve it.

PAUL: Great news. Thanks, Andy.

All right. I was getting
worried about you guys.

I was worried, man.
We had just given up the hunt

and then we found it
in some place

we just didn’t expect to see it.

So was it just
totally off course?

- Way off course.
- ’Cause, I mean,

I had a clear view
until it disappeared.

You know, I thought I had
a clean line of sight.

- Where was it?
- It took a hard right turn

after you guys saw it
pass over the horizon.

I don’t know how it did that.

That just doesn’t
make any sense.

It’s not that windy,
it didn’t go that high.

How did we get two miles out?

I’m glad that we found it
because it gives us

the data point
that we need to confirm

that there was something
strange about that launch.

-Absolutely.
- So, yeah,

this is our second location.

Cistern is where all kinds of
weird things have happened.

Absolutely, I mean, Greg and I
experienced the humming noise

here at the cistern.

- Did you hear a noise?
- I heard this humming noise.

Have you heard
that noise before?

Not that particular one, no.

You’ve never heard that before?

NARRATOR:
Now the team is prepping

a six-foot pitbull rocket

that’s large enough
to carry a payload,

including a Trifield meter,

spectrum analyzer,
and altimeter.

For this launch, they will fire
the rocket from the cistern

where Andy and the current ranch
owners witnessed a strange hum.

- Let’s get to it.
- Absolutely.

ANDY: All right.
Should we head to the Jeep?

Yes, we should.

Pads armed and going.

Five, four, three, two, one.

[rocket whooshing]

KATIE: Wow!

ANDY: It’s like-- it’s like
it hit a wall up there.

DAVE: She’s dropping.

ALLEN: All right, guys,
heads up, heads up.

- Backsliding.
- Whoa.

[bleep]. What is going on?

No delay, no delay.

[tense music playing]

We have eyes on it.
We are en route.

Yeah, the rocket is
probably trashed,

but I think your equipment
will be all right.

You think? So did the chute
just not deploy?

The motor didn’t pop a charge.

Wow.
Why would the chute not deploy?

- Is it just engine failure?
- Look at that.

That’s it right there.

The one time that we’ve got
gear on board, it fails.

Correct.

Hey, Paul. This is Andy.
We have the rocket retrieved.

Andy, we’re gonna come down
and meet you at the shop.

Thank you, sir.

PAUL: So the black powder
just didn’t go off at all?

It doesn’t look like it at all.

Is that unusual? I mean--

- Very.
- Very unusual?

All right. Here’s your stuff.
Well, okay. Light’s on.

PAUL: That’s good news.

- Here we got...
- Okay.

- Yep, everything’s--
- My Trifield took a nosedive.

We should still have recording

all the way to impact
before impact.

I’d be curious to see
how that works out.

ALLEN:
Altimeter recorded no flight.

- No flight?
- NICOLE: What?

How would that happen?

I mean, that’s a pretty basic
piece of equipment.

I mean, you turn it on
and it should just--

Yeah, I mean,
it’s basic as they come.

Like, you turn it on,
it records.

When there’s altitude,
it just realizes it.

- 100%.
- Maybe it didn’t really fly.

It really fell.

Well, the Trifield
proves that part.

Sounds like we need
to analyze the footage,

we need to record
what data we can

and then ship it off
to Erik and Travis.

All right, let’s just
break it all down.

Paul and Andy, I’m very anxious
to have your return report

on the Rocky Mountain Ranch
experience.

Brace yourselves
for what we’ve got here.

Yeah, this place was wild.

On top of everything that we
were prepared for

when we arrived
at Rocky Mountain Ranch,

it just got stranger after
we actually started putting

boots on the ground, and we
even had experiences ourselves.

So, one of the known areas
of anomalous activity

on the ranch is actually
centered around the cistern.

So, we wanted to launch rockets
from the cistern

with a payload inside to measure
radio spectrum energy,

Trifield energy, and altimeter
and see if we can’t

get some meaningful data out of
a launch in an anomalous area.

Well, and the rocket itself
is also a sensor

in that if there’s some
kind of atmospheric anomaly

or something that will
push the rocket around,

you can watch its trajectory
and see things happen. Right?

- Absolutely.
- So we used a pitbull rocket

provided by Loc Precision
because Loc Precision

- has worked here on Skinwalker.
- Those guys are great.

And we asked Loc Precision
what can we do here

to as closely
as possible replicate

the same type of process
that you use here

- on Skinwalker Ranch.
- That’s great.

That is very good. I like it.

So this is what happened.

- PAUL: Yeah.
- KATIE: Wow.

It’s like-- it’s like
it hit a wall up there.

Give me a pop sideways.

Yeah, no rejection of it.

No delay.

[crashing]

It reached an altitude of 1,800
feet and then seemed to die.

We had the rocket actually
fail to deploy its shoot,

so it didn’t work according to
its operating procedures.

We also were able to capture
footage from inside.

So the rocket launched, which
showed very steady readings.

So I’ve paused it just after
it reaches apogee

and right before
it appears to start.

Jumped up suddenly
to a spike in voltage

up to 100-something
volts per meter.

- ANDY: Yes.
- Wow.

ANDY: And we do not know
what to make of this.

You’ve encountered a region

of high electric field
very briefly.

Either you went through it
or you were hit by it.

One or the other.

ANDY: So the secondary explosive

that was supposed to launch
the parachute also failed.

So what that means is
something happened

to keep the igniters
from setting off the charge.

Was there a camera
on the outside of the rocket?

- ANDY: Yes, sir.
- BOTH: There is.

[rocket engine rumbles]

Wait.
Stop, back it up a little bit.

- [clanking]
- Right there.

So we just heard
something mechanical.

I think there was
an impulse hit.

I interpreted that as the
beginning of the turbulence

of the tumble. You’re saying
that could have been--

That was an impulse response.
That was that.

Something created a huge spike
in the electric field.

What could it have been?

The rocket was ground
and something--

Like lightning to an airplane,
but there was no lightning,

there was no cloud. So what?

This is really
a key piece of data.

- I’m glad we have it.
- Now going through this,

I want to show you a result
that’s specific to Katie.

Our plan was to go out
and execute a radio test

where we would try to transmit
a 1.6 gigahertz frequency

using a harmonic
within the ham radio bands.

When we were transmitting,
we were also measuring energy

coming back to us
through a set of AM radios

that were set to open channels.

So effectively, what we have
is a discrete spectrum analyzer.

We have a multi spectral sensor.

- There we go.
- All right. So at this point,

we’re letting Katie transmit
on the transmitter.

We are back
and we want to talk to you.

[high-pitched
electronic droning]

- Whoa!
- [laughing]

You know, guys, I get
the real sense that this space

is responding to Katie’s return.

It’s like the ranch
recognizes her.

You know, we’ve seen things
like that here on Skinwalker

where it’s as if the phenomenon
is familiar with someone

as they come back
and things start to happen.

We absolutely want
to follow up on this.

So now let me show you
what happened

when I took a walk about with
the family that’s there now.

We actually went to one of
the known hot spots

from the APRO report.
According to the APRO report,

that cistern was known
for having humming noises

and underground vibrations.
A metallic hum turned on.

What is that noise?

- Did you hear a noise?
- I heard this humming noise.

Oh, that is a humming noise.
I hear that too.

In the distance,
it seemed to envelop

everything in the environment.

Do you have an audio recording?

- We do.
- Let’s hear it.

All right, Erik, I just sent you
the audio file of the humming.

Oh, wow. We’re looking at
both the time domain

and the frequency domain.
I’m going to play the recording

and we’re going to listen for
that hum that you’ve described.

[humming]

It’s clear.

There is a very clearly
audible tone.

Is that the tone
that you were telling?

Okay, so if we do the analysis
of this portion here,

here is the frequency content
and right here,

one thing that jumps
right out at me,

is around 400 Hertz
we have this peak.

ANDY: Yeah, very distinct.

ERIK: That is in fact
what we’re hearing.

So what we’re hearing
is a hum at 400 Hertz.

Here’s one thing that
I can’t help but notice.

I’ve heard this before.

It’s what the sound of the power
systems and aircraft

and spacecraft make
because we run them at 400 Hertz

and it is exactly
at the right frequency

and it sounds--
I mean, I’ve heard it before

and that’s exactly
what it sounds like.

That’s typically something
you see from the Air Force,

from the Intelligence community,
or from NASA.

So just so I understand this,
in layman’s terms,

what we’re hearing here
is the sound of either

advanced aircraft electronics
or spacecraft electronics?

Not electronics, power systems.

And that’s the main
power system frequency.

I don’t know what this is,

but it sounds exactly like
the main frequency sound

that you get from spacecraft.

Yes. However, there are other
features in the frequency domain

way out here on the high end.

Do you have any thoughts
on why we’d be seeing 17.16?

You know, that’s so high.

That’s right on the edge
of what I can hear.

There’s frequencies are right
above what you can hear.

It can cause irritation,
it can cause sleeplessness.

Imagine this.
What if, for some reason,

somebody doesn’t want people
looking into this place

and they want to drive you nuts
and run you away. Right?

And if you had something like
a high altitude aerial asset

that could broadcast a frequency
that drives you nuts.

And the 400 Hertz
could be the power system

for whatever that thing is.

Well,
that’s an interesting thought.

I mean, this is
almost a sonic weapon.

Yes, that’s exactly what it is.

This could very well be
something that could be used

to make people not feel good
while they’re at this location

and to leave.

Rocky Mountain Ranch
seems to give off the vibe

and have all of the tell tale
signs that it could possibly be

like another Skinwalker Ranch.

And to find other locations
that are part of this class

of special places
where we get to see

this kind of phenomenology,

especially when we have
the attached history

such as we had here at
the Rocky Mountain site,

that is invaluable.

All right. Well,
we’re just getting started.

Stay with it, fellas.

- Let’s start a revolution.
- Thanks for joining us.

- Thank you very much.
- Thank you, man.

Always a pleasure.
