We want to learn more about the triangle,

which is the center of the bubble.

So, we have 100 drones. Is that right?

It's gonna be 100 drones and it's gonna stay

in a horizontal plane.

Drones are rolling.

-Okay, taking off. -Drone swarm

came over the center of the triangle.

Whoa, whoa, whoa, I totally lost it. Shoot, shoot.

The FPV drone just hit the ground.

Oh, my god. -We're getting drones doing circular

-patterns all over the triangle. -They're 50 feet

from hitting that 1,000-foot mark.

There's a huge magnetic field that caused

the drone to swirl around.

-There's a structure to it. -There is a structure to it.

There is a big magnetic anomaly floating

-right over the triangle.

That's fantastic.

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! -Yep.

...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.

Uh, Travis,

we got Matt and Brian from Sky Elements here.

-Hi. -Hey.

-Hey, guys. -So excited to be back.

We planned a really ambitious new experiment

with the team from Sky Elements Drone Shows.

But unfortunately, I was sick as a dog.

How are you feeling?

So, I had to stay here in my trailer here on the ranch

while they got everything set up.

I appreciate you asking, Thomas. I'm not feeling that good.

I don't want to make y'all sick, but I also,

I didn't want to miss out on this amazing experiment

we got planned for tonight.

Well, I don't think we'd be doing it

without your involvement, Travis.

You know, this is one of those experiments

that we've been anticipating for quite some time,

because more recently, we've seen the potential

for magnetic anomalies high above the triangle.

Yes. Yep, absolutely.

-Drones are up. -Several weeks ago,

Sky Elements flew a swarm of 100 drones at the triangle

up to the legal maximum altitude of 1,000 feet.

And between 750 and that 1,000-foot level,

a huge electromagnetic anomaly of some kind

made the drones go haywire and spin out of control.

What's even more strange is that this thing is also

right at the center of the bubble,

which we believe has a maximum height of about 2,000 feet.

Now, we want to see if this electromagnetic anomaly

might extend even higher than 1,000 feet.

Other experiments in the past suggested

that there could be additional electromagnetic anomalies

as high as 3,500 feet.

So, Sky Elements has gone out of their way to help us scan

not only inside the bubble but much higher above it.

Uh, could you go through the launch plan?

Yeah, so we got a ten-by-ten grid: 100 drones,

about five feet in between each drone.

They're all gonna take off at once,

kind of traverse over to the triangle.

We're hoping to go much higher this time,

go up to the 4,000-foot range.

-That would be great. -Yeah, perfect, perfect.

That's ideal.

That's the highest any drone swarm

has ever had legal clearance to fly.

Not just on Skinwalker Ranch.

We're talking the entire United States.

So, kudos to Sky Elements.

I understand you're gonna take position

over in the east field. Uh, you'll be running two,

uh, spectrum analyzers o-out of the Jeep?

Yeah, Erik, I'll have, uh, two antennas

looking directly at the triangle.

Sounds good.

I hate that I can't be out there at the triangle

with you guys, but you don't want what I've got.

-It's not any fun. -Mm-mm.

-No. -No, we don't.

There's a lot of setup that we need to do, so, um,

-I say we get started. -Awesome.

-Okay. -Great.

It's not like I'm bedridden,

so I want to help with the experiment

from a safe distance.

As the swarm flies up through the 750-

to 1,000-foot region and higher, I'll be in the east field,

outside the bubble, monitoring a spectrum analyzer

with antennas pointed toward the triangle.

That way, I can look out for any strange radio frequency signals

like we've detected in the past.

This could be a perfect opportunity

to figure out where these signals are coming from.

-Hey, guys. -What's up, gentlemen?

Erik and the others will be watching their own

radio antennas at the triangle.

Also, several high-speed cameras are set up around the ranch

to record the drone swarm

and look for any unusual behavior

or deviations in its preprogrammed flight path.

The drones have onboard magnetometers and GPS devices

to identify any more electromagnetic energy

which coordinate from a Wi-Fi access point

set up here on the ground.

It not only controls the swarm

but also allows us to monitor flight data in real time.

What are you gonna do first?

Yeah, we're gonna run two or three tests here.

It's the first time we've ever been

to 4,000 feet in altitude,

so we're gonna see how everything

is communicating well and make sure we've got good

connectivity with all the drones. -Okay.

So, how many drones are you gonna send up?

We're gonna send up a pack of four

really close to each other up all the way

-to the 4,000-foot mark. -Cool. -All right.

So, uh, there's no telling what could happen

when the drones go that high.

We'll make sure that everybody across the site is aware

that they're up in the air,

so we can warn everybody if we need to.

Absolutely. -All right, well, we'll let you guys

get to this test flight.

-Okay, awesome. -Being able to run

our drone swarm this high is exciting, but it's also risky.

Especially if all 100 drones come crashing down

on our heads like what happened a few years ago.

Heads up!

Heads up! They're coming down!

Holy mackerel.

It's raining drones over here!

So, tonight, this first test flight is an important step

to make sure this experiment succeeds

and that we don't have an even more dangerous situation

if these drones fall from a much higher altitude.

So, you guys are good to go, then?

-Yes, sir. -Okay.

Hey, guys, uh, they're ready

to go ahead with this test of four.

Are you guys to the point that you're ready to go?

-Yes. -Erik?

Yeah. Ready to go.

Okay.

Hey, Travis, you copy?

Yeah, Erik. Go ahead.

The word on the ground is we're gonna do a test,

and, uh, we'll let you know, uh, what's happening as we see it.

I am in position.

-Have at it. -All right, guys. -Okay.

-Let's hit it. -Let's get to work.

You're good to go, guys.

-All right. -All right, let's do it.

Ten seconds to launch.

Four, three,

two, one.

Drones are up.

Taking off.

FPV is up.

Brian Woodward is also flying

his camera-equipped FPV drone with the swarm

to closely monitor it for anything strange

all the way up to 4,000 feet.

-Yep, that's 500 feet. -500.

Now, this is a good test for the FPV, too,

because the last two times that Sky Elements

has been out here this year,

something made that drone crash inside the bubble.

Should be about 800 feet now.

We're at 800 feet now.

Well, now, what do we got here?

Right there, I just got a huge spike

at 1.6 gigahertz bouncing up and down.

Oh, really?

We lost communication.

-Lost communications? -Lost communication.

So, at the same time he calls out that 1.6,

you guys lose your communication? -Yeah.

This 1.6-gigahertz signal is exactly

what I wanted to look for,

because it could be a communication signal.

But it's interesting that it showed up

right as the drones were losing communication

and passing through the 800-foot mark

where we know that magnetic field is.

Could that mean it's coming from that anomaly?

1,000 feet.

I'm reconnecting. So, right when

they passed through 1,000, they reconnected.

So, that put them right in that 750

to 1,000-foot magnetic zone.

Correct. Which is where we saw anomalies before

-in the data. -Okay.

Well, how about that?

This test flight might have proven

that the electromagnetic anomaly occupies a defined space

between 750 and 1,000 feet.

So, what in the heck is it? And are there more even higher?

-All right, we're at 1,500 feet. -Correct.

The uh, 1.6 signal,

it went back down.

Yeah, copy that.

So, they're at 2,500.

-Whoa, whoa. -Whoa, dude.

What the heck?

What is...

Dude. Dude. What?

It's like something took my drone and just, like,

threw it back 100 feet.

-Did you see that? -Yep.

That doesn't seem right.

Brian is reporting some unusual behavior

with the FPV drone.

It is as if the drone is being physically interacted with.

He's calling out that the drone is being pushed.

Whatever's going on with the drone

is not coming from the controller.

So, what could be going on in that space over the triangle?

I'm gonna try to keep pushing through it, though.

-3,000 feet. -They're above 3,000 feet?

The drones look like

they're going at different elevations.

Whoa. They fell.

-What are they doing? -They're falling.

-Look out. -One falling, one falling!

Drones coming down! Drones coming down!

-Take cover. -Get in the vehicles!

-Get in the vehicles! -Take cover.

Looks to me like they're falling.

Drones coming down! Drones coming down!

-Take cover. -Get in the vehicles!

Take cover. Take cover.

-Gary, come on. -Look out.

-They are falling, guys. -Oh, my gosh.

-Whoa, whoa, whoa. -One falling,

-one falling. -Holy crap.

Do we know how many are still up?

-Can you see them? -Yep, right there,

-right above us. -Okay.

All right, what's the status?

I see all four down.

They're all down, they're all down.

Is everybody okay? It looks like they hit

right on top of you.

Drones are on the ground, Travis, everybody's okay.

It was strange enough when the drones

had communication issues between 750 and 1,000 feet.

But what in the heck did they fly up into

above 3,000 feet that made them lose

all power and drop dead out of the sky?

Was it an even higher concentration

of electromagnetic energy?

And if so, what's causing it?

Do you still have control of the FPV?

Yeah, FPV, I do.

That was so scary.

I see all four down.

We need to find the drones.

We need to go find them and recover them.

-Yeah. -It's kind of odd

that the FPV drone,

which has dropped dead at much lower altitudes

in recent experiments,

wasn't affected like the other four drones.

Found one of them!

Maybe it was just far enough away

-from whatever hit them. -One over there.

We had our fingers crossed

that the drones were intact

and had retrievable data

that might tell us more about what affected them.

Pulling up the logs here.

The drones we've checked so far disarmed

-at the same altitude...

...which was at 3,271 feet.

Okay.

As if something disarmed the drones.

You mean, like, they just shut themselves off?

-Yes.

So, did something...

...tamper with the flight?

It appears that way.

Okay. Well, we'll let these guys know. -Yeah.

Awesome. -Sounds good. Thank you. -Thanks, guys.

All right, guys,

uh, they were able to pull the logs.

It looks like something told the drones

to deactivate at 3,271 feet.

Now, interestingly enough,

that was not programmed into the files.

Okay. If it wasn't part of the program,

then where did that command come from?

This is really, uh,

an unexpected and, I think, uh,

disturbing sequence of events.

The guys are describing what happened

as if a kill command was sent

to the four drones, causing them to fall out of the sky.

Maybe we need to try four more

and see if we can get above that 3,000-foot mark.

-Let's go. -Okay. -So,

that raises the question of where such a command

would have originated from

some 3,200 feet in the airspace above Skinwalker Ranch,

if that is, in fact, what happened.

All right, guys, uh, so, you guys

are comfortable doing another test of four?

Yeah, I think we're willing to send up four more drones...

Yeah. -...to the 4,000 to kind of see if we can

get better results this time, but obviously,

with what we just saw, we need to make sure everybody's safe,

so we'll need to make sure that everybody just kind of has

some cover over their head and i-is in a safe position

-to fly the drones again. -Yeah.

If those four go well, we can kind of talk about

continuing with the larger scale. -Okay.

We'll make sure that everybody's aware.

-Awesome. Thanks, guys. -Sounds good. Thank you.

Hey, Travis, we're gonna be sending another four drones up

to see if we can make it to the 4,000 feet this time.

Copy that. I'm ready to go when y'all are.

Good. We're ready.

Ready to rock.

-Okay. Uh, drones are going up. -Five,

four, three,

two, one.

Drones are hot.

Okay, let's go.

Taking off. FPV up.

After what we saw on our first test,

we were all on high alert as the second swarm flew up

to that 3,200-foot level.

If there really was something up there

dropping our drones dead out of the sky,

hopefully, this time,

the FPV drone would catch it on camera.

All right, they are approaching that 3,000.

When it turns yellow, it will be at that 3,000-foot mark.

-3,000. -3,000. -3,000.

Whoa! -Oh, shoot.

Flashing. -All right, what's going on?

Everything disconnected at 3,000 feet.

Coming down. Everybody in!

All right, they're coming down!

They just started blinking.

-What was that about? -In here. In-in here.

They're blacked out, Travis. They're coming down.

Where'd they go? I've lost them.

All four are coming down.

-Can you see them? -Yeah, we got them.

Yeah, right there, right above us.

Are they controlled?

They're close, they're close.

They're all right here. They're all right here.

Okay. Tight bunch, tight bunch.

They're flying that way.

And one's hovering.

They're coming down towards you, Travis.

East field. East field.

Three, I got three of them.

-We have eyes on... -All four are down.

They are all on the ground.

Dang. That was crazy.

Frickin' unbelievable.

Again, it's as if a kill command was issued

to those four drones, causing them to plummet from the sky.

That doesn't really make sense to me.

What this tells me is that we found

another phenomenon high above the triangle.

We have drones.

Obviously, we're gonna have to pull the logs

to know what happened, right?

-Yeah. -Yeah, absolutely.

From my perspective, looking at the console,

it seemed to be right around the same altitude

that they disarmed again.

I mean, for lack of a better term, it's almost like

somebody slapped the drones out of the sky,

right when they crossed the 3,271 feet.

Yeah. We don't know what we're dealing with here.

There's no way we're getting a hundred drones

-up tonight. -For sure.

I say we just, uh, we call it.

Travis, I hate to make the call,

but we're gonna pull the plug on this. -Copy.

We hate to table an experiment like this,

but after what we saw happen with just eight drones,

we didn't want to push our luck with 100 all at once.

But hopefully, we got something in the data

from these test flights and our high-speed cameras

that can help us figure out what the heck happened tonight.

Okay. Well, let's call it a night.

What a night.

Hey, how you all doing?

Better than some of the drones...

-from this... -Yeah. -Oh, yeah, man.

After taking a couple of days to recover,

I was finally feeling back to normal,

and it gave Erik the time he needed to process

and analyze all the video we captured

during our drone test flights.

I'll start with high-speed video

captured when we sort of see drones fall out of the sky.

If you remember, just moments before the drones fell,

there were problems with that FPV drone.

Brian yelled, "Hey, something just pushed my drone,"

and you, you remember that?

-Yeah. -And it looked like his drone,

like, moved.

I mean, it literally looked like something

grabbed it and threw it.

Now, I caught that moment in Meta-Frame.

Uh, let me bring that up.

So, what we're looking at here is a sky-facing camera.

We're actually looking up through one of our antennas

at the triangle.

We're looking at these lights.

We're looking at the four drones.

And this is the FPV drone

just before that push that you described.

So, we're looking up at the apex.

And here's the push.

What did that?

What the heck could affect the drone like that?

It literally looked like something just grabbed

the FPV drone and threw it.

-Right. -It was within seconds

that they fell out of the sky after that. -Right?

The enhanced surveillance video

clearly shows the FPV drone moving

like it's been pushed by something invisible in midair.

But what the heck could have done that over 3,000 feet high

above the triangle?

Could it be connected to whatever caused

the other drones to fall out of the sky right after that?

-Now that's crazy. -Yeah.

Let's look at the moment the drones fell out of the sky.

I want to show you a different video

looking straight up from near the command center.

This is really zoomed in.

This is a great view of the four drones and the FPV drone

-there in the upper right.

I'll just play through it.

Look at the flash. - Now, look. Did you see them?

-Look. Look at that. -What the...?

It looks like they're moving sideways first.

Then they take off superfast.

And then they just slow down. -Oh, look.

Now they're coming down. -Look,

it's tumbling. One's tumbling.

What the heck?

Kind of matches what Brian said

about the FPV drone suddenly going, like, 100 feet.

-Like they got pushed. -Like something pushed him

o-out of the way, like 100 foot in one direction.

Did they all get pushed

-just the same way as his? -The same...

-whatever that phenomenon is. -We'll have to factor that

-and see. -Yeah.

If these drones were just turned off

by some kill command,

we'd have expected to see them fall straight down.

But instead, they look like

they veer off to the south and then drop straight down.

What's really curious is how the FPV drone,

which only has a camera,

was pushed away from that area, but the other drones,

which have magnetometers for identifying

electromagnetic energy, were overridden by something.

It's almost like they were shut off

to stop them from collecting data at that 3,200-foot mark.

It sounds nuts,

but could that be what really happened?

And if so, what's up there?

Do we have a different angle of the same moment

-that we can that compare it to? -Sure.

I have one more view from a Meta-Frame time-lapse.

Now, what we're looking at here,

this camera is positioned south of the triangle,

angled up at that airspace.

Four drones go up.

It only looks like one

because they're so close together.

-Oh, wow, look at that. -Oh...

Let's take a look at that again.

We'll frame-advance this.

-Now, did you, did you notice-- -Hey, whoa, whoa,

yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah.

-Look up there. -Look at that.

Right here.

-Flash, possibly? -Yeah, there's a flash

right by them.

What was that flash?

Let's dive in on this.

-What is this? -Yeah.

Let's see here.

It's only there for one frame?

Yeah. Now keep in mind, this is... -Time-lapse.

-...a time-lapse.

But what the hell is it?

We get this blink, the drones get to the spot...

then the drones fall.

That's so odd, man.

Could this flash of light

Erik captured on the enhanced video

be what caused the drones to drop out of the sky?

If so, what the heck is it?

And where did it come from?

You know, this is another case of an experiment

that did not go at all the way we had hoped and planned,

but we did get

-important insights here. -Yeah.

Yeah, that's amazing. W-We've got a lot to look at

and figure out what it is.

Look, we've been talking about a lot of ways

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

One of the discussions we've been having

for-for years now

is how could we bring Doppler radar

to scan these high altitudes.

That'd be interesting to look at.

Would it pick up objects that we're not seeing

-with our, uh, naked eye, right? -Yeah.

So, it might help us figure out

what's up there where those drones fell?

That's exactly right.

I say we find a way to make it happen.

Yeah.

Let's get after it.

You can go ahead and park here.

-Hello! -Nice to have you guys out.

-Hey. Nice to meet you. -Yeah, we'll just...

take you in to the rest of the guys and we'll get going.

A couple days later, we arranged for Doppler radar experts

Dr. Karen Kosiba and Dr. Josh Wurman

to come out to the ranch.

We've got Josh and Karen with DOW radar.

Come on in. Hi. Good to meet you. -Hi.

Yeah. -I'll leave you guys to it,

-I'm gonna go... -Travis.

Glad to get you and your equipment out here.

Really exciting for us.

And I'd like to have you walk us through

you know, what you guys do and, uh, what kind of equipment

you're using and how it all works.

We're all meteorology researchers.

We operate a fleet of mobile weather radars.

That's why they're called "Doppler on Wheels."

I mean, I always think radars are, you know,

like flashlights going through the atmosphere.

You know, you're sending out pulses

of electromagnetic energy,

and you're looking at the return, the power

-that's coming back to you. -Okay.

So, it's-it's a weather radar.

Um, we're usually using it for weather.

We built these for tornadoes, hurricanes,

other types of phenomena.

-To detect water, right? -Yes.

We're making maps, basically.

I think it'd be a good idea to sort of

back up and give some context to what we want to do here.

We are interested in imaging a region of space

that sits right over this feature here

that we've been calling the "triangle."

Right, but instead of using water droplets to see,

we'll be using aluminum bottles.

To study weather systems,

Doppler radar works by sending out microwaves

that bounce off raindrops in the air

and then return to a radar dish.

This helps to spot and track storm clouds,

tornadoes, you name it, in the environment.

So, tonight, we're going to adapt

this tech for our investigation

to hopefully see strange things inside and above the bubble.

Since there's no rain in the forecast

for the next couple of days, we're gonna drop

hundreds of GPS-equipped aluminum bottles

with parachutes from the helicopter.

As those bottles descend down,

we'll be able to track their movements on radar

and also look for anything else around them

that might be invisible to the naked eye,

like whatever shut off those drones

over 3,000 feet in the air.

We want to do this experiment during daylight hours

for best visibility.

So, since the team wasn't able to get here

until the late afternoon,

we'll run the main experiment tomorrow.

But we still have time to run a test.

So, we're gonna fire rockets to make sure

the Doppler radar can image them

and potentially reveal any possible anomalies

above the ranch.

This is right up our alley,

trying to observe something new and-and different like this.

That's very encouraging.

You know, phase one of this effort is really...

we want to see if our Doppler radar can pick up a rocket.

That way, we can test to see how well the radar works

before we drop all these bottles.

That will kind of give us a baseline.

-Okay. -So, instead of us

talking about the experiment we're gonna do, I say

we get out there and let's do the experiment. -Yeah.

Uh, we can park here.

Dude, I think right there is perfect.

To begin the test phase of our experiment,

I set up in the east field

with the mobile Doppler radar team

so they could run scans back toward the triangle.

We want to make sure we'll be able

to capture images of the rockets

and maybe see if the Doppler can reveal

anything else in that area above the ranch.

All right, we'll get this started.

All right.

Sideways...

Okay.

-There you go. -They're level.

Let's put up the masts.

While Kaleb and Thomas

prepare to launch a rocket from the triangle,

Erik will be watching everything from back at the command center.

Hey, guys.

-Hi. -Hi. Come on in.

-So, we're up and running? -We are.

So, the triangle is probably about right here.

-Yeah. -So, right there.

Yeah, so, this is sort of where your triangle is.

Yeah, I see that.

Okay, I'm gonna have them launch a rocket now.

Let's see if the radar picks it up.

Hey, Kaleb.

Would y'all launch a rocket down there at the triangle?

-10-4. -Going hot.

Going in five,

four, three,

two...

-That right... Oh. -Oh, oh, oh...

Look here.

This red and yellow streak indicates

an object moving at a high rate of speed.

-That may be the rocket. -That might be your guy.

-Yeah. -Yeah.

Yeah, we saw the rocket on the radar.

Copy that. Perfect.

Look at that.

That yellow streak shows there's something else

moving at a high rate of speed.

What is that?

-Can you click on that? -Yeah.

Yeah, it's definitely moving.

That's not the rocket. What the crap?

Not five seconds after the rocket was launched,

some kind of big, elongated object

appeared on the radar screen

that looked like it was flying

through the air and toward the triangle.

That's what, about 600 feet high?

Yeah.

It looked to be inside the bubble.

But where did it come from?

Was it related to the electromagnetic zone

we've recently detected between 750 and 1,000 feet?

That's-that's steadily moving, whatever that is.

-It's going that way. -Yeah. -Yeah.

Kaleb, look up.

We have a large object at about 600 feet high

from the west moving to the east.

What?

There's nothing there.

Now it's getting closer to the triangle.

There's some kind of object over the triangle

that's pretty large in the radar.

-You guys seeing anything? -No. -No.

We are not seeing anything

from our location.

Boy, it's there, clearly. Look at that. -Yeah.

Well, it looks to be potentially gone now.

Travis, are you still seeing it there?

'Cause we're not seeing anything.

We're not seeing it now, guys.

We're gonna change the angle of the radar

to try to see if it's still there.

Pete, Kaleb and I couldn't see

anything with the naked eye

that could account for this object

that they're seeing in the Doppler radar.

Travis reports that the object they were seeing

in the Doppler radar was no longer appearing.

So, they're going to move the radar angle

to see if the object maybe moved upwards.

This was in hopes that the radar truck

could catch that object again and hopefully

help us verify the accuracy of the data that we are getting.

-Look at that guy. -Yeah.

-There. -There it is.

Yeah, that is something.

That is right on the bubble boundary.

Still there.

Look towards the posts we have marking the western side

of the bubble boundary, around post number nine or ten.

Right now, there's some sort of anomaly right over that post,

at 500 feet high.

-There's nothing there. -No.

There's not even birds.

We're just not seeing anything, Travis.

That's crazy.

There it... Look.

That's right over the triangle. Now we're seeing

an anomaly right over the triangle, guys.

What?

Right over the triangle?

There's-there's nothing there.

We're not seeing anything

that would account for that anomaly right now.

Travis, I have got eyes straight out

into that space, and I am seeing nothing.

This is really interesting.

You're picking up on things

that none of our other assets can see.

-There was nothing over there. -It doesn't make any sense.

What did we just see on the radar?

It was cigar-shaped and fairly large.

I would guess the size of a jet plane or a blimp.

Now I don't see it.

We're not seeing it now, but there was

a clear object that came from the west,

flew over the triangle, and it was large.

But where did it go?

Again, could the answer be connected

to that electromagnetic zone above the triangle

and in the heart of the bubble?

Especially since it disappeared in the same area.

All I can say is that was a hell of a test.

Everybody be advised,

whatever that was, we're not seeing

anything anymore on the radar.

We're shutting the radar down now, and they're gonna

get it ready for, uh, tomorrow's use.

That sounds like a great plan.

We're gonna clean everything up here

-and we're gonna wrap it up. -Sounds good.

Command center, this is Cameron.

We're just coming over the drill site now.

Copy you, Cameron. Got eyes on you.

After yesterday's amazing test

with the Doppler radar, we can't wait to see

what dropping the metal bottles from Cameron Fugal's helicopter

might reveal.

How's it going, guys?

Oh, hey, Cameron. How's it going, man? Good to see you.

I want to introduce you to Jereme Manhart,

our director for maintenance for Aero Dynamic Jets.

Uh, we're bringing him out here today to help

-with some of these experiments. -Excellent.

I'm excited to get started.

We got work to do, let's do it. -Yes.

-Let's get back at it. -All right, guys.

Cameron will make several passes

with his helicopter over the triangle area

at various altitudes above the bubble.

Meanwhile, his colleague Jereme Manhart

and Pete Kelsey will drop 100 aluminum bottles

containing GPS devices down through that same airspace.

That's a lot in there. -The bottles

will be deployed with parachutes so the Doppler radar

can easily track them as they descend.

Everything is secure, we've done the preflight.

Everything's great on the helicopter.

I think we're ready to do this, guys.

Hopefully, all these bottles

will not only collect data

but help us get an even better look

at any UAPs like we saw yesterday

as they pass through that 750 to 1,000-foot-high

electromagnetic anomaly zone.

-How are y'all doing? -We're good.

We're scanning directly over the triangle now.

All right.

That should be good.

Since a rocket launch at the triangle

correlated with that thing appearing yesterday,

what better way to kick things off today?

All right, the rocket's on the launchpad.

Okay, Erik, be advised, we are ready

to do our first, uh, test launch.

We got the radar running and there's a rocket on the pad.

-Are you good to go? -I'm good to go

at the command center.

Five, four,

three, two, one.

Good launch.

Ooh.

Here. -That was a great launch, fellas.

Good job, good job.

Yeah, I think we got it.

-Awesome. -Yeah.

I mean, it sweeps through, but Karen got it

-on a screen there. -Oh, yeah, look at that.

Be advised, they did catch

that rocket launch on the radar.

No sign yet

of those anomalies we saw yesterday.

Copy at the command center.

Yeah, Cameron, we're ready for you to get in the air

and go over and, uh, do an orbit

at 2,500 feet, drop bottles above the bubble.

Okay, we'll lift off here immediately.

-Okay, ready, guys? -Ready.

Send it.

We chose 2,500 feet for this first pass

because we want to see what happens

as the bottles descend through the top boundary of the bubble.

On a day like today, with practically no wind,

we're expecting these bottles to drop

more or less straight down.

That is, unless they're being pushed away

by the bubble boundary,

which is something that keeps happening

to our instruments during the experiments.

All right, we're at 2,500 feet.

We're about to turn back to the east.

Everybody be advised, we are literally seconds away

from the bottles being tossed out of the helicopter

from 2,500 feet.

Copy. We're ready to start scanning.

Bombs away, Cameron.

-Bombs away. -Okay, uh...

Five, four, three, two, one,

we're dropping.

Oh, yeah, I see them now.

I can see them.

Yeah, guys, I can see the bottles

coming out of the helicopter.

They're pretty shiny.

We got good eyes on them.

Hey, look, look, look, look. Get in here.

Josh, are you seeing any of the bottles on the radar?

Yes, I think we see

what's probably them.

Oh, there's another one.

Looks like they got some more coming out.

Look at that.

Those look like they're getting pushed to the south...

while those ones look like they're getting pushed

to the north.

-I'm out. -How you doing, Pete?

Last bottle. That was it.

Okay, all bottles are away. We've emptied all bottles.

-We're heading back. -Copy that.

They're approaching the bubble now.

Wait a minute. That's weird.

These ones being dropped out right here

are directly above the triangle.

I'm gonna follow these ones down. -Yeah.

Those look like they're gonna be right on

the bubble boundary.

-What the... -Pretty crazy.

Do you still see them falling, visually,

or do you think they're already on the ground?

I think they're on the ground.

-Yeah, they're on the ground. -Copy.

Let it be noted that, of all those 100 bottles,

not a single one landed in the triangle.

That's crazy.

Let it be noted that, of all those 100 bottles,

not a single one landed in the triangle.

That's crazy.

We have nothing in the triangle. Like, nothing.

I mean, it's clearly more evidence

that something keeps interfering

whenever we try to collect data

in the bubble above the triangle.

It just defies all nature and logic.

Nobody pick the bottles up.

We want GPS points of every bottle.

So, we'll wait to collect the data

until after the experiment.

Copy that. -We'll track each bottle down later

and see if their GPS data will verify

that they were stopped 2,000 feet high at the top

of the bubble barrier and then slid down it to the ground.

But now, we want to go higher and get radar data

where the drones fell out of the sky earlier this week.

Okay, uh, Cameron, we're gonna do the next, uh, bottle drop.

Go to 3,500 feet and drop the bottles.

Meanwhile, we're gonna have the radar pointed at 3,200 feet.

You got it. Uh, 3,500 feet.

Just stay clear of the triangle

until we give you the go-ahead.

We're gonna launch another rocket first.

All right, guys. Here we go.

Travis, we got the rocket on the launchpad, uh,

and are ready to go.

Erik, are you ready?

Standing by for launch here at the command center.

Copy that. All right, Thomas.

Five, four, three,

two, one, go.

Dude, look at that thing. Oh, my goodness,

that's got to be 5,000 feet, it looks like.

Good chute.

Josh, are you good to go?

-Yeah, we're scanning. -Copy that.

All right, Cameron, you can go ahead and start

-dropping the bottles. -You got it.

Uh, we'll start dropping in five,

four, three,

two, one.

Bottles are coming out, guys. Bottles are coming out.

Oh, I see them. I see them.

I totally see them.

Those look like they're all falling

-on the edge of the bubble. -That one is hauling.

Look at that one.

A bunch of those bottles are falling to the south of us.

Are they falling to the south of the triangle?

Yeah. 10-4.

-Pete, you still dropping? -Last bottle.

All out.

All the bottles have now left the helicopter.

After what we saw yesterday,

we were so pumped to get a much better look

in the bubble today with these bottles.

It's like there's something in there

that the ranch doesn't want us to see.

But what?

Well, I think it's fascinating,

we have yet to get a single bottle

that has come down in the triangle.

The only ones that we've even seen

landed up over there near the bubble boundary. -Yeah.

Different altitudes and everything.

I'm a little surprised at it.

I would have expected to get at least one. -At least something.

Kaleb, Thomas, as far as I can tell,

all the bottles are probably on the ground by now.

That's what Thomas and I were just talking about is,

they dropped about 200 bottles out of that helicopter,

and not one of them has landed anywhere near the triangle.

That's crazy.

Travis, this is Cameron.

We're proceeding to head back down to the ranch.

That's awesome. Thank you, Cameron.

Everybody note that the bottles

all have been released and the helicopter's returning.

Do you see that, Pete?

Something back there.

I just saw something by the mesa.

-It's right there behind us. -Where-where? Give us

a direction, Cameron.

We got it just off to our left. There's a,

a unidentified flying object

flying around just above the treetops.

Is that a drone?

No drone. Negative on drone.

Holy crap.

I mean, this is nuts.
