-[Ellis] Drones are up. -It's the first time we've ever been

to 4,000 feet in altitude.

They're all gonna traverse over the triangle.

Taking off. FPV is up.

Whoa.

What the heck? It's like something

took my drone and just, like, threw it back 100 feet.

-Did you see that? -Yep.

[Travis] They're falling.

-Look out! -Whoa! Whoa, whoa. -One falling, one falling!

[Thomas] Drones coming down! Get in the vehicles!

-[chuckles] Look at that guy. -[Karen] Yeah. There it is.

[Travis] There's some sort of anomaly

right over the triangle, guys.

What?

Holy crap.

[Narrator] There is a ranch in Northern Utah.

It is considered the epicenter

of the strangest and most disturbing occurrences on Earth.

For two decades,

the federal government

investigated the property.

Their findings have never been made public.

[Travis] Right there! We got something!

[Narrator] Now a new team

of independent scientists and researchers are taking over.

They are uncovering evidence

that the countless stories...

It came right out of the mesa.

...of unidentified aerial phenomena...

-UAP right there! -Yep.

...bizarre energies...

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.

[Cameron] Pete, did you see that?

[Pete] Yeah, I did.

[Travis] Where?

Give us a direction, Cameron.

That thing was right over Homestead Two.

[Travis] Things have gotten crazy here

in day two of our Doppler radar experiment on the ranch.

All right. We're dropping.

[Travis] We just dropped a bunch

of metal bottles out of the helicopter from above

the 2,000-foot-tall bubble

so we could track them with the radar

as they fell straight down toward the triangle.

But all of them seemed to bounce off of the top of the bubble

and slide down its border away from the triangle.

Wow. Look at that.

That impeded our effort to look for

any more anomalies like the huge UAP we saw yesterday

on the Doppler readout.

That's definitely moving.

But now, out of nowhere,

Cameron and Pete just spotted something flying below them

near the bubble boundary by Homestead Two.

You sure it wasn't a bottle?

It was moving across the treetops.

It wasn't falling.

And it disappeared right behind the tree

where we're at over here.

[Travis] Copy that.

We do not see anything from the triangle, Cameron.

[Travis] Cameron's helicopter is the only aircraft

that we know of above the ranch right now.

So what the heck are they seeing?

Especially since they said it looks metallic.

[Travis] I still don't see this thing.

Look, the radar's at the perfect elevation.

-[Royston] Oh, yeah. -Josh, it's Travis.

Are you seeing anything on the Doppler radar?

[Josh] Nope. We're scanning and watching.

[Travis] Copy that.

Doppler weather radar is usually used to map things

like storm systems and tornados

by measuring radio waves

that reflect off water droplets in the air.

But if this object really is made of metal,

its surface might be reflective enough

for the radar to pick it up.

-[Josh] Why am I not seeing it?

-[Karen] I'm not seeing it, either.

So are we seeing it or is it gone?

[Josh] I don't know.

I don't know.

Cameron, do you copy?

[Travis] You're not seeing it anymore?

Copy that.

It really seemed like the bubble was going to thwart us

from collecting data inside of it once again.

But now the experiment

may have led to an encounter with a metallic craft

of some kind.

Could it have come from the bubble?

Hey, Cameron,

we're ready to wrap this thing up.

I say we all meet back at the helipad.

Copy that.

Yeah, copy that. I'll head right out.

Cameron reports a reflective, luminous object

over Homestead Two.

This is really important.

I really want to find out anything else

he has to share so that I can know what to look for

when we go back and review all of our data.

[Travis] Really appreciate you guys

coming out with the radar. That was fantastic.

Yeah. Great experiment and, equally importantly,

-it was fun to try new things. -Yeah. Yeah. -Great.

So, Cameron, you had eyes on that object.

-Yeah. -Can you describe it for us?

It was the most clear thing I've seen out here.

It was more like a cylinder that was...

had some sort of motion like this.

-Yeah. -[Erik] Did you say "cylinder"? -Yeah.

[Erik] That sounds like that UAP we captured over Homestead Two.

-Yeah. -[Travis] Earlier this year,

we invited shaman Art Hardy

to conduct a sacred Navajo ceremony at Homestead Two.

He believed that it might instigate contact

with whatever might be causing

the weird phenomena we've witnessed out there.

[Dave] Travis, we're getting some really big changes

of temperature.

[Travis] Believe it or not, during his ceremony,

we saw the trees at the homestead light up

on thermal cameras with a massive amount of heat

that made no sense.

I've seen temperature changes, but not this much.

[Travis] And when Erik processed our high-speed camera data,

he noticed a cylinder-like UAP

that also appeared directly above Homestead Two.

That's the exact same place

Cameron and Pete spotted this metallic object.

It looks like a cylinder

-with a top on it. -Wow.

So, could there be a possible connection between these UAPs?

Maybe they're the same one.

There were cameras all around the helicopter,

-so maybe one of 'em caught it. -Yeah. I hope so.

-Yeah. -Yeah, I really want to get an eye on that.

All right. This has been a fantastic day.

Thank you for your-your expertise.

-You did fantastic work. -[Cameron] It's good to be here

-with everybody. -Yep. Appreciate it.

-[Travis] All right. -All right. -[Thomas] Okay, thanks, guys.

-[Thomas] Morning. -[Travis] Hey, guys.

How are y'all doing?

-Hi. -Hi. Good.

[Erik] Thank you for jumping on with us.

[Travis] By late the next morning,

Erik had scoured through our camera files

and was ready to show us what he'd found.

So we hopped on a video conference

with Doppler radar experts Dr. Josh Wurman

and Dr. Karen Kosiba

to also see what the processed scans

from the two-day experiment might reveal.

So, uh, if we can share our screen...

What are we looking at here?

[Josh] These data are from our first day

when you did your rocket test.

-[Travis] So when we saw the UAP on the radar? -Yeah.

And we had the radar out east of your triangle.

Um, out near the border of the-the property.

[Karen] So, in this image, your radar is right at the center

-of the screen there. -[Travis] Okay.

[Josh] The star represents where the triangle area is.

[Travis] Copy that. Understood.

[Josh] And then we've just highlighted some objects

that are in the air and moving.

Just to the left and below the star,

you'll see one of those is moving

towards the radar in green

and another one's moving away in the brown.

-[Travis] Okay. -Now,

we can't tell what those are with just the radar.

But these objects here are in fact moving in the air.

[Kaleb] Wow.

When we were out there at the triangle, we didn't see anything

in the air like this.

[Thomas] Yeah. And there wasn't a cloud

in the sky.

-Yeah. -Wow.

I knew that at least one UAP showed up

in their Doppler scan during our test run.

But there were clearly multiple strange masses in the bubble

that also showed up near the triangle.

But none of us could see them with the naked eye.

What were these things?

So then this is another minute or so later.

And if you look south and southwest of the triangle,

there are objects moving in the air.

[Travis] Uh, that would put the red circle in the woods,

behind Homestead Two, right?

In fact, uh, that's about

where Pete and Cameron claimed they saw

that cylinder flying over the tree.

[Royston] It was in that range, for sure.

-Yeah. -[Travis] So could it have come

from the bubble and we caught it over there?

-Makes sense. -Yeah.

[Travis] We don't know why we see so many UAPs

on Skinwalker Ranch.

And we also don't know what we're looking at here.

But this data is more evidence that the bubble

might be the source of all these things.

Did you analyze the data from the time

of that UAP sighting yesterday

-to see if the radar picked it up? -[Josh] So,

what you see here on the screen are scans from that time.

After looking at it, I don't see anything particularly unusual.

I think we have some targets going through here

that might be objects, but it's not really conclusive.

[Travis] That makes sense. Okay, I-I would say

this was a very good first Doppler experiment.

And I'm sure we're gonna think of other things

-we're gonna want to do with it in the future. -Sounds good.

And, uh,

we can always make some improvements, uh,

-for next time. -[Travis] Absolutely.

-Very well. We'll be in touch. -Thanks, guys.

-Thank you. -See you later. -Thanks. -Okay.

[Erik] Well, you know, that's actually

a great transition to the video record

from the cameras that were mounted to the helicopter.

-Yeah. -Okay.

[Erik] So this is what I have.

Call it out when you see something in motion.

-[Kaleb] Oh, right there. -Right there.

Yeah, you nailed it.

-[Travis] Can you zoom in on it? -I sure can.

So what I'm gonna do is take it back.

[Travis] Right there. It glinted or something.

-[Erik] Yes. -[Travis] Wow.

That could be a metal craft.

[Travis] Right there. It glinted or something. Wow.

It doesn't even look like it's losing elevation.

[Travis] No, it looks like it's flying horizontally.

[Kaleb] It's going straight across.

[Travis] This is crazy, man.

Usually when we capture UAPs,

it's a quick flash or a moving orb of light.

But we've got this thing on camera for several seconds

flying in broad daylight near Homestead Two

and the western boundary of the bubble.

It's clearly cylindrical-looking

in that particular frame. Can you zoom in

-on that part? -[Erik] I sure can.

[Travis] And then kind of go backwards and forwards, maybe?

[Erik] Mm-hmm.

[Travis] 'Cause I want to see what it does in that-that glint.

-See, it really glints right there. -Yeah.

-[Travis] And it turns. -[Erik] Yeah. You know,

it's tempting to interpret that as a change in size

or a change in the angle

-that it presents to the camera. -Yeah. Yeah.

-[Erik] So now-- -That could be due to it tumbling or something.

[Erik] Yep. And from frame to frame,

we see radical changes in the apparent shape

-of this thing. -[Travis] Yeah. Right.

Look at the scale of it, though.

That's way bigger than one of the bottles.

-[Kaleb] It's still way above the tree line. -Oh, yeah.

-Yeah. -[Travis] 'Cause if you look at the top of that tree,

yeah, the top-- That-That's-that's got to be

-two feet across. -[Royston] Yeah, and it's above that

looking down.

[Travis] The more we examine this,

it's clearly maneuvering in the air.

That really makes us think that it could be a physical object

or a craft of some kind.

But what? And where did it come from?

Clearly it has propulsion, though,

because it's not falling.

-It's moving laterally across the ground... -Mm-hmm.

...which suggests that it's got some capability of flight.

I got to say, though,

-it's difficult to say what we're looking at. -[Erik] Right.

[Travis] This Doppler experiment to investigate the bubble

produced evidence that numerous kinds of UAPs

may be emerging from somewhere inside of it.

Maybe we're getting closer to some answers.

Well, it was an interesting review.

Yeah. I'd like to follow up.

I think we should try to set up

lasers and smoke above the triangle.

Maybe that'll help us actually see what these things are.

-Yeah. -That's a great idea, Erik.

Maybe we can prove whether or not

these things are coming from the heart of the bubble.

-All right. Sounds good, man. -[Erik] All right, guys. Thanks.

[Travis] Yeah, let's get to it, man.

[Cameron] Skinwalker Ranch Command Center,

this is Cameron. We're on the outskirts of the ranch now.

[Travis] A few days later,

we had Cameron fly back out to help us

with a follow-up experiment in the bubble.

[Brandon] Hey, Kaleb. Good to see you, brother.

Appreciate you.

Good to be back.

[Travis] Brandon was so intrigued

by what we recently encountered

that he came out to take part, too.

And also helping us will be

thermal camera expert Dave Mason,

along with smoke specialist Steve Bolan

and Tim Anderson from Nu-Salt Laser.

[Erik] Guys, it's great to bring everyone together for this.

We're gonna be doing an experiment,

and it's essentially gonna be

-a laser grid experiment. -[Travis] Right.

We're talking about, you know, filling

the triangle with smoke to see if anything

is moving through the laser light in the airspace

-over the triangle. -[Travis] So, Tim,

how many lasers did you bring today?

We have eight 30-watt RGB solid-state lasers.

So, RGB-- red, green, and blue-- LED lasers, huh?

Yes, sir.

[Travis] Tonight's experiment is basically a giant version

of the laser grids we've done at Homesteads Two

and Three this year.

The idea was to use high-powered light beams and smoke

to reveal anything moving that we couldn't see

with just the naked eye.

But this time, we'll be doing it

in the airspace above the triangle area,

where we've not only documented the blob about 31 feet high

but also a zone of strange electromagnetic energy

between 750 and 1,000 feet.

For all we know, that could be

where these UAPs are coming from.

[Erik] We're going to be shining,

you know, all that light above the triangle,

looking for any kind of changes to the light.

You know, are we getting deflections?

The kind we might see if something flies

-through one of those lasers. -Very good. -Yeah.

-[Travis] And then, Steve, you'll provide the smoke. -Yeah.

[Travis] For a laser grid this big,

it's gonna take a ton of smoke.

Steve Bolan and his colleague Jeff Ference

are special effects experts who can produce much more smoke

than we've ever attempted on the ranch.

[Erik] So tell us about the smoke system.

What volume of smoke can we put out here?

Well, we're using a turbo jet aircraft engine

out of the Navy surplus program.

And we pump five gallons a minute of air show smoke oil

in there, and it makes about 10,000 cubic feet a minute.

Well, this sounds bold.

With the smoke enveloping the entire triangle, I hope

we're gonna smoke out whatever the hell is going on

here at Skinwalker Ranch.

[Travis] And then later, Cameron and Pete

will go up in the helicopter and shine a laser

right in that spot we've seen the blob before

-to see if we see anything. -Yeah. Absolutely.

Well, guys, we've got a lot of setting up to do.

Um, Kaleb, will you take Nu-Salt

and help them get located out on the southern bubble boundary,

get the laser set up?

Steve, if you'll follow me,

I'll take you and Jeff out to the triangle

-and we'll get you set up so we're all ready to go. -Okay.

-Thanks, Thomas. -[Thomas] Okay.

-All right. -Appreciate you.

-Thank you, gentlemen. -I am so looking forward to this.

[Dave] Yeah. It sounds like a great experiment.

[Travis] For an experiment this big,

we'll split up into small groups all across the ranch.

Kaleb and the Nu-Salt team

will be setting up our eight high-powered lasers

at each of the posts that we have marking

the southern boundary of the bubble.

[Kaleb] So the idea is, we're gonna put these lasers here

and try and converge on one point above the triangle.

-Mm-hmm. -And that's where we're gonna have this

little white screen for you guys to hit.

Okay. That'll be our target.

[Travis] Meanwhile...

...Thomas, Jeff, and Steve will be at the triangle,

where they'll be setting up their turbo jet engine

-to shoot out all the smoke. -[whirring]

-[whirring stops] -That was a hell of a test.

Yeah.

[Thomas] Well, if that's a precursor for what's, uh,

-ahead, it's gonna be an exciting night. -Okay.

So I think you're gonna have a good view of it...

-Yeah, I think so. All right. -...from right here.

[Travis] Once the sun set, Kaleb and Thomas

joined me in the field south of the triangle

to set up multiple high-speed cameras we'll be using

to monitor tonight's experiment.

We also have several other cameras set up ranch-wide

which Erik will be watching from inside the command center.

Meanwhile, Dave Mason will be near the command center,

where he has set up two different FLIR thermal cameras

to capture any unusual temperature changes

above the triangle.

Jim Royston will also be scanning the skies

on his thermal drone for any other anomalies

that may be invisible to the naked eye.

This is gonna be one of the biggest,

most complex experiments we've ever done here,

and I can't wait to see what happens.

Hey, Erik. It's Travis.

I think we're, uh, at the point

where we can start this experiment.

That sounds like a good plan.

All right, guys, we're about to turn the lasers on.

All right, we'll turn the lasers on.

Well, I say we get the smoke going.

[Jeff] Here we go.

-Got it. -[whirring]

-[Steve] Anything? -[Jeff] No.

This pump is not working.

[Steve] It's burning it out.

Where's the smoke?

[Steve] Burning this thing up.

I got to shut it down.

We had four malfunctions.

Fuel control.

Battery. That blew a fuse.

-[Jeff] Smoke pump. -The smoke pumps. The igniters.

Hey, Erik, this is Jeff.

The malfunctions we've had here,

that's never happened before.

[Taylor] The hell is he talking about?

Feels like some voodoo [bleep] going on here.

[Steve] Feels like some voodoo [bleep] going on here.

[Jeff] Battery's drained rapidly.

This pump on a completely separate system

-blew a fuse. -Yeah.

[Jeff] Hey, Erik, this is Jeff.

I'm just giving you an update

on the malfunctions we've had here.

We've had a...

a simple, uh, fuel pump,

fuses blow on it.

Batteries drained,

and they're-they're brand-new batteries.

And then we also had problems with the, the fuel control,

uh, for the jet.

Yeah, copy you, Jeff.

You know, welcome to the club.

[chuckles] I don't know if that makes us feel any better,

but... [chuckles] thanks.

[Steve] After weeks of preparation for the job--

new parts, new batteries, new everything--

prepared to the max, and, uh,

the machine worked and functioned perfectly.

The digital exhaust gas temperature went haywire.

The batteries went down to nothing.

On the start, the igniters wouldn't work.

The pump on the smoke system stopped working.

All at the same time.

Listen, I've been doing this for 35 years. I never had stuff

go haywire like this before.

Mm-hmm. Do you guys think there's gonna be a repair,

or are we down for the night?

It looks like we're gonna be down for the night.

-[scoffs] -Geez.

[Travis] This place demoralizes

expert after expert with equipment malfunctions

that happen right when we start our experiments.

Everything works perfectly during the test.

But then this happens.

What or who could do that?

It just makes us more determined to push forward and find out.

Hey, Sam.

This is Travis. Do you copy?

Yeah, go ahead, Travis.

Let's get the thermal drone up in the air

and see if we can pick up anything at the triangle

that could be affecting the smoke machine.

Yeah. The drone is getting ready to take off.

Copy that.

Go for it.

You tracking okay, Dave Mason?

I sure am.

[Travis] While Jim investigates the triangle

with his thermal drone,

Dave Mason will also be watching that airspace

with his stationary FLIR camera.

Maybe he can spot something strange

with a different temperature from the environment.

-[Royston] Dave, you got me? -[Dave] Yeah.

I'm gonna try to work my way through the triangle.

-[Brandon] You see that? -[Royston] See that?

-[Brandon] Yeah. -I didn't touch that.

Something's pushing Jim's drone.

Dave Mason, watch closely.

[Royston] You seeing anything, Dave?

-You got me? -[Dave] Yeah, I got it on the FLIR.

[Royston] There it goes. It just did it again.

I'm not seeing any objects around it.

-[Brandon] Oh! -[Royston] There it goes.

It will not let me get to that spot.

[Brandon] Every time.

Hey, Erik. I'm trying to get over

the top of the triangle, but something

keeps pushing the drone away.

Yeah, I can see the struggle,

uh, in the, uh, GPS record.

[Travis] What the heck could be pushing

Jim's drone around in midair?

We couldn't see anything with our eyes or the thermal cameras,

but there was something physically in that space.

Could it be the blob? And if so,

was it connected to the smoke machine malfunction?

[Royston] All right, I'm going to bring the drone back

'cause I'm getting nowhere with this.

Yeah, man. Well, look, I know that's frustrating,

but it's data.

All right, so I say we shut down the lasers

since the smoke machine's not working.

Let's just move on to the helicopter portion

-of the experiment. -Yeah, copy that.

Sounds like we don't have much choice.

[Travis] So, uh, Cameron, do you copy?

Yeah, go ahead, Travis. How do you copy?

All right, well, let's get you in the air.

Sounds good. We're gonna start spinning up.

We'll get up and going.

[Travis] Since the smoke machine was shut down

and we can't see anything moving through the lasers

stationed at the triangle,

maybe we'll have better luck trying a different approach

from high in the air with the helicopter.

He's in the air.

Cameron, we're gonna be putting a flashing white light

on the base of the board.

Sounds good.

[Travis] Using a high-powered handheld laser,

Pete will shine a laser beam down at a board we've placed

on the ground at the center of the triangle

to aim for that spot where we've seen the blob before.

Hopefully, the laser light will either

illuminate the blob or wherever else these UAPs

might be coming from above the triangle.

All right, uh, he-- Pete's gonna to fire up the laser now,

just as we're approaching here over the triangle.

Everybody look at the ground, look at the ground.

He hit it. He's hitting the center.

[Kaleb] Yeah, copy you, Cameron. We're seeing that laser

hitting the ground now.

All right. Roger.

[Dave] I-I think I caught an object near the helicopter

-on FLIR when I was just panning it. -[Brandon] You did?

I-I saw something come through here.

You want to track them? I'll keep looking.

[Dave] Uh, if-if somebody could just watch the monitor.

-[Royston] Yeah, I'll watch it. -I'm just gonna guide it.

[Royston] Okay, I see it.

[Dave] Yeah, so I got the helicopter,

and I'm just gonna keep panning it.

-Yeah, there's another object. -[Royston] I got something.

-Here's this object. -[Dave] Yeah, right there.

Look at this, Brandon.

-Look at that thing. -What the [bleep]?

-[Royston] It went out. -[Dave] Yeah, it just,

-it just went out of field. -Yeah. It went out of field.

[Royston] It was following him, and then it went up.

It came in, it came in this way and then went up.

-[Brandon] And that was big. -Yeah, it was pretty big.

-[Brandon] I mean, you compare that... -Look at the frame size.

-Yeah. -That's no insect.

-[Dave] No, that wasn't a bug. -No.

-Ooh. Oh, that-that's something. -There it is.

-What is that? -[Dave] What are we looking at?

[Brandon] Look at that.

[Dave] What are we looking at?

Look at that.

There's an object there.

[Royston] It's going down, near the helicopter.

What?

There was an object right there.

[Brandon] It was right there, but it's disappeared.

[Dave] It's not... It's disappeared.

[Brandon] What the...?

Cameron, just so you know,

uh, as we are tracking with you

over the triangle, we saw several objects.

One object in particular

seemed to be following the helicopter.

What the heck?

We're gonna continue to monitor,

but it correlated exactly with what you were reporting,

uh, within a matter of seconds.

-Wow. -[Cameron] Wow.

Very interesting.

What in the hell's going on up there?

[Travis] After Jim's drone got pushed away

by something invisible close to the ground at the triangle,

it was freaky to hear the guys in the helicopter

saying that possible UAPs were suddenly flying right by them.

[Brandon] Whatever you're experiencing seems to be focused

in that region right up above the triangle

where you made that pass,

and we seemed to pick something up.

So be aware,

be careful more than anything.

[Cameron] Yeah. Thanks, brother.

That's nuts.

[Travis] Hey, Jim, why don't you try sending up your drone again

to see if we can spot this thing?

Copy. Jim Royston is going to deploy his drone.

He'll stay under 300 feet.

Copy that.

Sounds good, Brandon. Thanks for the report.

[Travis] As Cameron makes another pass above the triangle

with Pete projecting the laser downward...

...Jim will be watching the skies

from below on his thermal drone.

If any UAP appears again,

we might be able to get a closer look at it

and hopefully where it came from.

Hey, Erik, you copy?

Yeah, Travis. What do you got?

We see the drone headed our way.

When it's over the triangle, I'll report back to you,

tell you that it's in place.

Yeah, copy that, Travis, I'm standing by here.

[Jereme] You see that thing

that's right in front of his drone?

-You see something down there? -I don't know if it's a light...

[Jereme] I keep seeing, like, this dot chasing Jim's drone.

Yeah, I see it.

You might want to report that to ground.

Hey, uh, be advised, uh, Jereme and Pete

are both seeing a little light

that seems to be chasing the drone around.

-[Thomas] Oh, my gosh. -Yeah, copy you, Cameron.

We're looking, and we're not seeing where that light is.

Is there a direction that you guys can give us?

Well, it's-it's in front of it sometimes,

-and then it's behind it... -[Cameron] We're seeing a light

in front of and then behind the drone.

I'm not seeing it with the naked eye.

[Thomas] I'm not seeing it with these, uh, SiOnyx either.

Um, there's a object in front of the drone.

-Really? -Really? -There it is, right here.

[Brandon] You're kidding.

[Dave] There's the drone.

There's the object.

[Brandon] We see something on the infrared

that is tracking...

[Dave] And it's on the differential FLIRs.

[Brandon] Yeah.

[Royston] Shoot. Something just moved my drone.

Hey, guys, I got to tell you, something just pushed

-my drone. -[Thomas] Something pushed his drone that way.

-He didn't do it. -[Travis] Oh!

No kidding?

[Brandon] The drone is malfunctioning

simultaneous with this object hovering.

Now the object is moving.

[Dave] Yeah. That object is moving,

and it's not the drone.

I'm moving into position.

[Dave] What?

Look at this. So, I'm trying to get over there...

-...and look at that. You see that? -[Brandon] Yeah!

Something just knocked his drone out of the way.

[Royston] I'm gonna try to go back to that point.

Watch. You guys see what happens.

There it goes. This is nuts.

As I go out with my drone

and I'm approaching the center of the triangle,

it literally is like something takes my drone

and throws it back like 50 feet.

And then at the same time, I'm hearing Dave Mason say,

"Hey, there's an object

I'm picking up on the FLIR."

Did you see that?

Sure enough, as I try it again in the exact same position,

all of a sudden, the camera points straight up.

And when I get control of the drone, I realize,

"Wow, I'm way back from the triangle."

Yeah, Jim's having difficulty maintaining, uh,

constant location.

His drone keeps getting pushed to the side.

[Travis] Pushed by what?

Don't know. We don't see anything.

[Travis] We've had drones get pushed around before,

but we've never seen anything like this.

It's like something was intentionally trying to keep

Jim's drone from flying right above the triangle.

What the heck is up there?

And is it related to the UAPs

that keep buzzing the helicopter?

Uh, Jim, I think you probably ought to return

the drone back home.

Yeah. I'm gonna, I'm gonna head back.

We see something right here.

This is crazy. You just saw that again, right?

[Dave] We saw it again. Right when that was being pushed,

we saw the object.

[Dave] Brandon, there's another object.

-Uh, that's... -There it is.

Look at that.

-[Dave] Yeah. -[Royston exhales sharply]

-[Royston] And it's gone. -[Brandon] Yeah. What was that?

[Royston] Hey, guys, I got to tell you,

they saw something on Dave's FLIR

near the helicopter.

-It was big. -Wow.

Hey, did you hear that, Travis?

Yeah, it's like he's seeing something

-behind the helicopter? -Yeah.

I just saw something go by it again.

-Look at that. -Right there.

[Brandon] That's a UFO.

[Dave] Looks like it's following the helicopter.

-You see it? -[Brandon] Yes.

[Royston] This is nuts. He needs to get that helicopter

on the ground.

[Royston] He needs to get that helicopter on the ground.

Hey, Cameron, this is your brother.

Pull the plug on this right now and return to base.

-[radio static] -[indistinct chatter]

[Brandon] Cameron?

Cameron?

[Cameron] Copy on that.

We're returning to base. Thanks.

Thanks. Return to base. We'll watch you.

[Cameron] Copy that. Thanks.

[Brandon] After seeing Jim Royston's drone

tossed about 15 feet with no conventional explanation

but a force or an object within that space

that could have been holding influence over that drone,

I didn't want to see my brother in the helicopter

and Pete Kelsey and Jereme put in harm's way.

[Travis] All right, Erik, we're about to head to the helipad.

Copy you, Travis.

[Travis] We're all in agreement with Brandon.

Whatever's up there above the triangle,

both visible and invisible,

it wasn't worth risking anybody's safety.

The best we can do now is call it a night

and process the video data we managed to get.

Hopefully, there's something in it

that will tell us more about these UAPs.

What did I just witness?

[Brandon] There you are, Erik.

[Kaleb] I don't think we've had a night like this

for a while.

-[Brandon] No. -Absolutely. Yeah.

[Steve] I've never had so many malfunctions

and stuff go haywire.

I'm mad right now.

I'm disillusioned, disappointed.

[Thomas] I think it's important for you to know, Steve,

that in nine years of my-- me being here,

I don't know if we've ever had

a third-party expert like yourself

come on the ranch and have their equipment

work the way that it works everywhere else.

W-Wonderful. [chuckles]

Uh, with that, it's a wrap.

I'll let everyone get to bed.

We've got a lot of footage to review,

a lot of data that we need to go back

and take a look at and reflect on.

-[Erik] All right. -Thanks, everyone.

[Travis] Be careful flying back, Cameron.

[Brandon] Welcome back, team.

Looking forward to doing a review urgently

with what transpired the other night.

[Travis] After how crazy the other night was,

Brandon gathered us all at his office in Salt Lake City

to review the processed data together

and discuss what we might have encountered on the ranch.

I have David, uh, set up for a video call.

-Great. -I'd like to bring him in and, uh, have him

talk us through some of what we have on the record.

Let's patch him in. Greetings, David.

-[Erik] Hey, Dave. -Good to be here.

[Brandon] Yeah, it's good to have you with us.

We have been anxiously awaiting

the opportunity to reconnect with you

following this most recent experiment.

Yeah, I'm looking forward to looking at the data.

[Erik] I'm gonna be bringing up one clip in particular

on the FLIR system.

As I'm bringing up the record, just like to hear

your general impressions of, uh, the things you were seeing.

Okay. Yeah.

This is the footage we captured

right before Jim told us his drone got pushed around.

So we're looking towards the triangle,

and we're approximately a quarter-mile distance

from the center of the triangle.

So, is the drone the bright, bright spot on the left?

[Dave] Yes.

So I'm just gonna click through.

This is where the drone starts moving towards the north

and then the UAP appears.

And there it is on the left-hand side here,

clearly moving from south to north, and then disappeared.

-Boy, that thing was bright and big, too. -Wow. That was.

[Cameron] Just to make sure, there was no aircraft,

-no aircraft besides us? -Yeah, there was nothing else

-up there. -Besides us. Okay.

What is that?

[Travis] That question was never more appropriate.

But also, where did it come from?

You can clearly see in the thermal video

that this blob-like thing just emerges out of thin air.

Could this be what was pushing the drone around?

And might it also be connected to the UAPs

that were flying near the helicopter?

Can we zoom in on that?

[Erik] Yeah, I think that's a great idea.

Okay, so I'll advance it forward,

-so we can actually... -[Brandon] Yep.

You see it now moving towards Jim's drone.

It's significantly larger.

Arguably, probably four times as large or more.

[Dave] Yeah, that's what's bizarre about it.

Uh, it looks like more of a solid mass.

It first looks like, like it could be a cloud,

then it's just a solid mass and then it just fades out.

Rewind a little bit.

-Keep going. -[Erik] Okay. Okay.

-[Brandon] Right there. -Okay.

[Dave] If it were a cloud, it would have gradient,

uh, a... mild to warm temperature,

so this is just something that's very warm or hot

that's appearing out of nowhere.

[Travis] And it's coming from inside

the bubble barrier, which... I find that really interesting.

-Yes. -All right. What else you got?

So, we have what may be another instance

of something in that airspace.

This video clip reveals something really fast-moving.

This was taken while the helicopter

was making a pass over the triangle.

-And it shows up right here. -[Travis] Oh, there it is.

[Erik] Okay, and what I, what I found interesting about this

is actually the shape of this thing.

[Brandon] Wow. Looks like, uh, kind of a cylindrical shape.

[Thomas] Just like the UAP that Cameron and Pete saw.

Looks like kind of a cylindrical shape.

[Thomas] That's just like the UAP that Cameron and Pete saw.

[Travis] I think you're 100% right, Thomas.

I think this is the same object.

Play it back through so we see where it comes from.

Yeah, sure.

So, like the thing we saw in the differential FLIR,

this will appear as if out of nowhere.

-[Cameron] Whoa, that's fast. -[Travis] Okay.

[Erik] And then it goes out of frame.

[Royston] Oh, yeah, there it goes.

So it's not a meteorite, it's just

-perfectly horizontal. -[Erik] Yeah.

[Cameron] And the velocity of that is tremendous.

[Royston] It looks like what was in Dave's differential,

-actually. -[Kaleb] A little bit, yeah.

This might be it.

What if this is it?

Once again, we've got video evidence

of a cylinder-shaped UAP

that looks just like the one we documented

a few days ago during our Doppler radar experiment.

Could this mean that these things

are emerging from somewhere inside the bubble?

Like the strange, cloudy object which appeared

high in the sky and might have affected Jim's drone?

You know how this could also

connect back to the Doppler radar

is, throughout those days' experiments,

we were getting reports of a cylindrical object

in the Doppler radar.

And what I was seeing in those two videos

kind of matches that description.

-And in the same location. -Yes.

You're right, that's the same location, I feel like.

[Brandon] It is clear

that we're seeing consistency as far as the type of UFO

that seems to be appearing in concert

with some of this experimental activity

inside the bubble.

At least similar, for sure.

Right.

Well, looks like we have

a follow-up experiment to schedule in the future

at some point in time, and hopefully

-the equipment will be cooperative. -Yeah.

We appreciate your efforts, Dave.

-Great review. -Hey, thanks very much.

It's been great to be a, be a part of all this.

We'll be in touch.

-[Royston] Thanks, Dave. -Okay.

[Erik] Well, I don't know about you guys,

but I'm ready to pack it up and, uh, get back to work.

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

[Brandon] Looking forward to next steps.

This experiment was unique

in that we had different cameras

that were recording the appearance

of unidentified objects of unknown origin.

What are we dealing with here?

This is something that excites me

and also brings new evidence

to our investigation and the reality

of UFO or UAP activity at Skinwalker Ranch.

[Erik] It is interesting that we are seeing something

that resembles a cylinder come back again and again.

But what is it?

I'm not content to just marvel at these events.

I want to understand them.

And I know that in order to understand them,

we need to follow up

with more aggressive investigative methods,

and that's exactly what we're going to do.

You guys are gonna take ground-penetrating radar

to try to image the anomaly.

Oh, what the hell's this?

There is a very obvious target there.

Really?

-Dang. -You see it?

[Dave] Something strange in the FLIR.

Those are spots in the mesa.

[Royston] Yeah, what is that?

[Erik] Now, this is from one of the smoke rings

-that failed to form. -[Travis] Look at that.

-In the distance. -[Royston] There's something there.

[Travis] Looks like a spaceship, man.
