1
00:00:02,042 --> 00:00:03,726
Let's start moving
the helikite into the bubble.

2
00:00:03,750 --> 00:00:05,917
Hey, it's almost like it's not moving.

3
00:00:06,042 --> 00:00:07,309
Look at the way it changed directions

4
00:00:07,333 --> 00:00:08,833
- as we got through.
- Yeah.

5
00:00:09,000 --> 00:00:10,375
It makes no sense.

6
00:00:12,333 --> 00:00:14,333
Holy crap. Something turned that rocket.

7
00:00:14,500 --> 00:00:18,250
I've got some perspectives
on the first rocket flight.

8
00:00:18,375 --> 00:00:20,059
Now watch,
the rocket turns and goes crazy.

9
00:00:20,083 --> 00:00:21,958
What-what, what's it responding to?

10
00:00:22,083 --> 00:00:23,476
- The blob was right there.
- Let's just

11
00:00:23,500 --> 00:00:24,875
keep watching.

12
00:00:25,000 --> 00:00:26,500
- Whoa.
- What is that light?

13
00:00:26,667 --> 00:00:28,292
Wow.

14
00:00:28,458 --> 00:00:30,042
The sled is gonna help us understand

15
00:00:30,208 --> 00:00:32,292
what's inside the mesa
and see what's in there.

16
00:00:32,417 --> 00:00:33,833
That's gonna come in handy

17
00:00:34,042 --> 00:00:35,122
when the drillers get here.

18
00:00:35,167 --> 00:00:36,500
What?

19
00:00:36,708 --> 00:00:40,083
There's something metallic
buried in the mesa.

20
00:00:42,292 --> 00:00:45,292
<i>There is a ranch in Northern Utah.</i>

21
00:00:45,458 --> 00:00:47,958
<i>It is considered the epicenter</i>

22
00:00:48,125 --> 00:00:50,000
<i>of the strangest</i>

23
00:00:50,167 --> 00:00:53,125
and most disturbing occurrences
on Earth.

24
00:00:53,292 --> 00:00:54,667
<i>For two decades,</i>

25
00:00:54,875 --> 00:00:56,292
<i>the federal government</i>

26
00:00:56,458 --> 00:00:58,375
<i>investigated the property.</i>

27
00:00:58,583 --> 00:01:01,917
<i>Their findings
have never been made public.</i>

28
00:01:02,083 --> 00:01:03,500
Right there! We got something!

29
00:01:03,708 --> 00:01:05,458
<i>Now a new team</i>

30
00:01:05,583 --> 00:01:07,833
<i>of independent scientists
and researchers</i>

31
00:01:08,000 --> 00:01:09,500
<i>are taking over.</i>

32
00:01:10,000 --> 00:01:11,250
<i>They are uncovering evidence</i>

33
00:01:11,417 --> 00:01:13,292
<i>that the countless stories...</i>

34
00:01:13,417 --> 00:01:15,208
It came right out of the mesa.

35
00:01:15,375 --> 00:01:17,667
<i>Of unidentified aerial phenomena...</i>

36
00:01:17,875 --> 00:01:19,208
UAP right there!

37
00:01:19,375 --> 00:01:21,083
<i>Bizarre energies...</i>

38
00:01:21,250 --> 00:01:23,184
It looks like there's
a heat source right above 'em.

39
00:01:23,208 --> 00:01:25,458
<i>And portals that lead
to other dimensions...</i>

40
00:01:25,625 --> 00:01:26,985
We're maybe looking at the anomaly

41
00:01:27,083 --> 00:01:28,625
for the first time, guys.

42
00:01:28,792 --> 00:01:31,125
<i>Might actually be true.</i>

43
00:01:31,292 --> 00:01:33,833
<i>They will stop at nothing to reveal...</i>

44
00:01:36,542 --> 00:01:40,167
The Secret of Skinwalker Ranch.

45
00:01:46,667 --> 00:01:48,583
I hear the drillers coming.

46
00:01:50,875 --> 00:01:52,333
Yeah. There they are.

47
00:01:55,167 --> 00:01:57,559
<i>After weeks of planning, this morning,</i>

48
00:01:57,583 --> 00:01:59,667
<i>we're starting a new drilling operation</i>

49
00:01:59,875 --> 00:02:01,958
to uncover the truth about one

50
00:02:02,167 --> 00:02:04,125
of the biggest mysteries
on Skinwalker Ranch.

51
00:02:04,292 --> 00:02:08,042
<i>A 400-foot-long, possibly metallic object</i>

52
00:02:08,208 --> 00:02:11,167
<i>and smaller anomalies
that we've repeatedly detected</i>

53
00:02:11,292 --> 00:02:14,208
<i>with all kinds of equipment
inside the mesa.</i>

54
00:02:15,250 --> 00:02:16,625
I want to introduce you guys

55
00:02:16,833 --> 00:02:18,583
to Jed and Bo

56
00:02:18,750 --> 00:02:20,917
- with Triple A Drilling.
- Welcome to the ranch.

57
00:02:21,083 --> 00:02:23,042
Well, it's good to get
you guys up on the mesa.

58
00:02:23,208 --> 00:02:26,167
We're standing at a spot
where our drilling efforts

59
00:02:26,375 --> 00:02:29,167
were brought to a standstill last year.

60
00:02:29,292 --> 00:02:31,667
- An infamous spot.
- Yes. I would say an infamous spot.

61
00:02:31,875 --> 00:02:35,917
Something stopped us
in our tracks right here.

62
00:02:36,042 --> 00:02:38,125
And-and so the...

63
00:02:38,292 --> 00:02:39,708
the strategy, as you know,

64
00:02:39,875 --> 00:02:41,835
is we're gonna try to engage
with it from the top.

65
00:02:44,375 --> 00:02:47,375
<i>In 2024, while drilling</i> a six-inch borehole

66
00:02:47,542 --> 00:02:50,000
<i>just to the west of the big object,</i>

67
00:02:50,208 --> 00:02:51,667
<i>the drill bit was destroyed</i>

68
00:02:51,875 --> 00:02:54,042
<i>after hitting something harder than rock</i>

69
00:02:54,208 --> 00:02:56,583
<i>just 33 feet from the top of the mesa.</i>

70
00:02:56,792 --> 00:02:59,500
It's completely welded shut.

71
00:02:59,667 --> 00:03:01,333
- It's friction welded.
- Yeah.

72
00:03:01,542 --> 00:03:03,167
<i>And that's
when Chris Roberts discovered</i>

73
00:03:03,333 --> 00:03:05,500
manufactured pieces of ceramics

74
00:03:05,667 --> 00:03:08,667
<i>recovered from the drilling
spoils at the same depth.</i>

75
00:03:08,833 --> 00:03:11,542
We put the liquid nitrogen
in there and the sample.

76
00:03:11,708 --> 00:03:13,167
<i>We had them lab tested</i>

77
00:03:13,375 --> 00:03:15,333
<i>and found evidence that they're similar</i>

78
00:03:15,542 --> 00:03:18,333
<i>to the heat-resistant tiles
on man-made spacecraft.</i>

79
00:03:18,458 --> 00:03:20,333
I just can't believe something so small

80
00:03:20,500 --> 00:03:23,750
could withstand something
that cold for that long.

81
00:03:24,875 --> 00:03:26,208
So, we want

82
00:03:26,375 --> 00:03:28,583
to go down to 33 feet or until we hit

83
00:03:28,750 --> 00:03:31,167
whatever it is that's buried here.

84
00:03:31,708 --> 00:03:34,333
<i>So, with ranch owner
Brandon Fugal's permission,</i>

85
00:03:34,500 --> 00:03:36,542
<i>Thomas spearheaded a plan to drill</i>

86
00:03:36,708 --> 00:03:39,250
<i>larger-diameter vertical holes
from the top of the mesa</i>

87
00:03:39,417 --> 00:03:41,375
<i>to see if we can recover proof</i>

88
00:03:41,583 --> 00:03:44,000
of whatever's actually in there.

89
00:03:44,125 --> 00:03:46,000
It's my understanding you guys have

90
00:03:46,125 --> 00:03:49,667
a 48-inch or four-foot-diameter
cutting tool.

91
00:03:49,833 --> 00:03:51,268
So we're gonna get a hole
that's just a little bigger

92
00:03:51,292 --> 00:03:52,542
- than that, I guess.
- Yeah.

93
00:03:52,708 --> 00:03:54,167
Now, I understand that we can pull

94
00:03:54,375 --> 00:03:56,167
that cutting head out
and examine the things

95
00:03:56,375 --> 00:03:58,625
- as we sneak up on this target.
- Yeah.

96
00:03:58,792 --> 00:04:00,208
We're gonna try to get

97
00:04:00,375 --> 00:04:02,055
some solid cores out for Chris to look at.

98
00:04:02,125 --> 00:04:04,833
The most important
thing here is the owner told us.

99
00:04:05,042 --> 00:04:07,082
- "I don't want to damage whatever's there."
- Okay.

100
00:04:07,250 --> 00:04:09,333
So he's given us his blessing
on the condition

101
00:04:09,500 --> 00:04:11,000
that we do it slow.

102
00:04:11,208 --> 00:04:13,333
So we'll rely on your guys' experience.

103
00:04:13,500 --> 00:04:16,167
If you feel anything out of
the ordinary as you're drilling,

104
00:04:16,333 --> 00:04:18,833
let's stop. Let's err on the side of caution,

105
00:04:19,000 --> 00:04:20,167
- examine it.
- Right.

106
00:04:20,333 --> 00:04:21,875
So to get all the way down 33 feet

107
00:04:22,042 --> 00:04:23,917
through rock like that,

108
00:04:24,042 --> 00:04:25,583
how long would it take, do you think?

109
00:04:25,750 --> 00:04:28,000
- Probably a good couple of long days.
- Okay.

110
00:04:28,208 --> 00:04:30,833
- Well, let's say we get to work. The plan'll be...
- Let's do it.

111
00:04:31,042 --> 00:04:32,667
That Erik and Sam

112
00:04:32,833 --> 00:04:35,000
- will be up here with their science equipment.
- Okay.

113
00:04:35,167 --> 00:04:36,768
Kaleb, if you don't
mind, I want you to go with me.

114
00:04:36,792 --> 00:04:38,851
- We'll set up down at the bottom of the mesa.
- Okay.

115
00:04:38,875 --> 00:04:40,518
So I'll have all my antennas and
stuff pointed up here at you.

116
00:04:40,542 --> 00:04:42,500
- Let's do it.
- Good.

117
00:04:43,542 --> 00:04:44,875
<i>A lot of strange things happen</i>

118
00:04:45,042 --> 00:04:46,250
<i>when we drill in the mesa.</i>

119
00:04:46,417 --> 00:04:48,375
Several times, we've detected

120
00:04:48,542 --> 00:04:50,667
mysterious radio frequency signals.

121
00:04:50,875 --> 00:04:52,667
And some of them
were actually coming from

122
00:04:52,833 --> 00:04:54,458
inside the mesa itself.

123
00:04:55,458 --> 00:04:57,208
Look at this cow!

124
00:04:57,375 --> 00:04:59,458
<i>And a couple of years ago,
one of the young cows</i>

125
00:04:59,625 --> 00:05:01,750
<i>in the field just south of the drill site</i>

126
00:05:01,875 --> 00:05:05,833
suddenly became really sick
from a possible radiation spike.

127
00:05:06,000 --> 00:05:08,375
We don't know if these things
are related to whatever's

128
00:05:08,542 --> 00:05:10,875
in the mesa or if it's because the drill site

129
00:05:11,042 --> 00:05:14,833
sits within another important
area of interest, the bubble.

130
00:05:15,875 --> 00:05:18,625
<i>The invisible anomaly
with a 2,000-foot radius</i>

131
00:05:18,792 --> 00:05:21,833
<i>where we've documented
the same kind of RF signals,</i>

132
00:05:21,958 --> 00:05:26,375
unexplained energy spikes,
and more UAPs than we can count.

133
00:05:29,375 --> 00:05:31,375
<i>So while we're drilling,</i>

134
00:05:31,542 --> 00:05:33,917
<i>we'll be closely monitoring
our spectrum analyzers</i>

135
00:05:34,083 --> 00:05:36,708
<i>and radiation detectors from both the top</i>

136
00:05:36,917 --> 00:05:39,333
<i>and bottom of the mesa.</i>

137
00:05:39,500 --> 00:05:41,792
Okay, we'll have you track forward.

138
00:05:47,375 --> 00:05:49,083
Hey, guys. The drill bit is on.

139
00:05:49,208 --> 00:05:51,125
The drill is in place.

140
00:05:51,292 --> 00:05:54,667
We are in position, and they
are ready to start drilling.

141
00:05:55,708 --> 00:05:57,833
They can go ahead
and start turning that head.

142
00:05:58,042 --> 00:05:59,792
Go ahead and spin her!

143
00:06:02,708 --> 00:06:05,708
<i>Drill bit just made contact with the earth</i>

144
00:06:05,875 --> 00:06:07,875
<i>and we are ten seconds from spinning.</i>

145
00:06:14,833 --> 00:06:16,875
Well, look. Right here. Look right here.

146
00:06:17,083 --> 00:06:19,042
This 1.6 gigahertz signal

147
00:06:19,208 --> 00:06:21,625
showed up right when Thomas said that.

148
00:06:24,292 --> 00:06:26,333
That is not believable.

149
00:06:26,542 --> 00:06:28,250
Look, look, you can see it right there.

150
00:06:28,375 --> 00:06:30,083
Yeah.

151
00:06:30,250 --> 00:06:31,667
What in the crap?

152
00:06:32,625 --> 00:06:34,375
Hey, Erik. Do you copy?

153
00:06:34,583 --> 00:06:36,333
<i>Yeah, Travis. Go ahead.
What do you got?</i>

154
00:06:36,542 --> 00:06:38,750
You ain't gonna believe this,

155
00:06:38,875 --> 00:06:41,333
but, literally, as soon as Thomas said

156
00:06:41,542 --> 00:06:43,167
that drill hit the ground,

157
00:06:43,375 --> 00:06:47,333
<i>a 1.6 gigahertz signal
spiked up immediately.</i>

158
00:06:47,542 --> 00:06:49,833
Well, now, that's very suspicious.

159
00:06:55,125 --> 00:06:56,625
Are you seeing that?

160
00:06:56,792 --> 00:07:00,708
Yeah, so we've got
the 1.6 peak up here as well.

161
00:07:01,625 --> 00:07:03,125
<i>Travis, we are seeing</i>

162
00:07:03,292 --> 00:07:06,167
<i>- 1.6 as well.</i>
- That's so weird.

163
00:07:07,333 --> 00:07:09,500
<i>1.6 gigahertz signals have appeared</i>

164
00:07:09,708 --> 00:07:13,167
on our spectrum analyzers
during a lot of our experiments.

165
00:07:13,375 --> 00:07:14,875
Most of 'em, actually.

166
00:07:15,042 --> 00:07:17,333
And what's most strange
about that frequency

167
00:07:17,542 --> 00:07:20,375
is that the U.S. military uses it

168
00:07:20,542 --> 00:07:23,125
for Earth-to-satellite communications.

169
00:07:23,333 --> 00:07:24,917
So where did this come from?

170
00:07:25,083 --> 00:07:27,917
And right when we're about
to start drilling in the mesa.

171
00:07:41,542 --> 00:07:43,667
Well, there's your first spoils.

172
00:07:44,625 --> 00:07:47,375
She's cutting, though. It's going down.

173
00:07:47,542 --> 00:07:49,208
<i>Thomas, you got a copy?</i>

174
00:07:49,375 --> 00:07:51,750
Yeah, go ahead, Erik.

175
00:07:51,875 --> 00:07:54,583
What would you guess
to be the depth at this point?

176
00:07:54,750 --> 00:07:57,625
They've probably gone down
six to eight inches.

177
00:07:57,792 --> 00:07:59,667
So far, everything's going smooth.

178
00:08:00,625 --> 00:08:02,708
<i>Copy, Thomas.</i>

179
00:08:02,833 --> 00:08:05,833
I hope this progress continues.

180
00:08:06,708 --> 00:08:08,917
<i>So far, so good.</i>

181
00:08:13,333 --> 00:08:14,583
Hey there.

182
00:08:14,750 --> 00:08:16,208
- Hey.
- Sure appreciate

183
00:08:16,375 --> 00:08:17,667
you, shuffling your schedule

184
00:08:17,875 --> 00:08:19,667
- and helping us out.
- Haleigh. -Hi.

185
00:08:19,875 --> 00:08:22,393
<i>Later that afternoon,
as the drilling continued,</i>

186
00:08:22,417 --> 00:08:24,375
Thomas and Erik
headed over to the corral

187
00:08:24,542 --> 00:08:26,351
for an emergency meeting

188
00:08:26,375 --> 00:08:28,542
with veterinarian Dr. Haleigh Lundgreen.

189
00:08:28,708 --> 00:08:31,333
- My two sons, Kevin and Micah.
- Nice to meet you.

190
00:08:31,458 --> 00:08:33,000
- Nice to meet you.
- I...

191
00:08:33,125 --> 00:08:34,965
make 'em come out here
when we're working cows.

192
00:08:35,083 --> 00:08:37,375
These guys are well trained
in, herding cows,

193
00:08:37,542 --> 00:08:39,000
branding cows...

194
00:08:39,208 --> 00:08:40,958
all things cows.

195
00:08:41,125 --> 00:08:43,625
<i>Shortly after drilling started this morning,</i>

196
00:08:43,792 --> 00:08:46,750
<i>we got a call from Thomas's
sons, Kevin and Micah,</i>

197
00:08:46,875 --> 00:08:49,667
who discovered a calf
that looked sick or injured.

198
00:08:49,875 --> 00:08:52,167
<i>They found it south of the drill site</i>

199
00:08:52,375 --> 00:08:55,292
<i>and just inside the western
boundary of the bubble.</i>

200
00:08:55,458 --> 00:08:57,125
- We found a sick calf.
- Yep.

201
00:08:57,292 --> 00:08:59,542
It separated from the herd.

202
00:08:59,708 --> 00:09:01,500
We tried to stand it up,

203
00:09:01,708 --> 00:09:03,833
but it's not really responding very well.

204
00:09:04,000 --> 00:09:06,167
So, just a little worried about it.

205
00:09:06,375 --> 00:09:07,708
- Okay.
- We'll head out

206
00:09:07,917 --> 00:09:09,601
and take a look at the area
where the calf is.

207
00:09:09,625 --> 00:09:11,583
- All right. Sounds good.
- Okay.

208
00:09:12,708 --> 00:09:14,417
<i>We've long heard tales</i>

209
00:09:14,583 --> 00:09:16,708
<i>that bad things happen
when you dig on the ranch.</i>

210
00:09:16,875 --> 00:09:18,375
Watching a calf out there in distress

211
00:09:18,583 --> 00:09:20,125
definitely was a bad thing.

212
00:09:20,292 --> 00:09:21,667
<i>The area that the calf's</i>

213
00:09:21,875 --> 00:09:24,833
<i>laying in is of special interest to us.</i>

214
00:09:25,042 --> 00:09:28,792
<i>It's near where we watched
a calf seemingly get radiated</i>

215
00:09:28,958 --> 00:09:31,458
<i>a couple years ago
while we were drilling.</i>

216
00:09:31,625 --> 00:09:34,625
<i>It's definitely got me on high alert.</i>

217
00:09:34,792 --> 00:09:36,917
So, you see the calf?

218
00:09:37,125 --> 00:09:39,208
- Yeah.
- Doesn't look like

219
00:09:39,375 --> 00:09:42,042
- it's moved since we found it, does it?
- Yeah.

220
00:09:42,208 --> 00:09:43,667
You've got your gear with you.

221
00:09:43,833 --> 00:09:45,625
You can take a look
at the animal up close.

222
00:09:45,750 --> 00:09:47,059
- Yeah.
- I'm gonna take some measurements out here.

223
00:09:47,083 --> 00:09:48,625
Okay.

224
00:09:48,792 --> 00:09:49,976
Does somebody
just want to restrain for me

225
00:09:50,000 --> 00:09:51,667
- while I examine?
- Sure.

226
00:09:51,875 --> 00:09:55,167
- Yep.
- <i>Here we have</i> another vulnerable young animal

227
00:09:55,333 --> 00:09:58,333
<i>going down inside
the western bubble boundary.</i>

228
00:09:58,500 --> 00:10:00,333
- Hey, baby.
- Aw.

229
00:10:00,542 --> 00:10:03,000
<i>This is now the second
calf in this general region</i>

230
00:10:03,208 --> 00:10:04,768
<i>of the ranch
that has experienced some kind</i>

231
00:10:04,792 --> 00:10:06,500
<i>of medical episode.</i>

232
00:10:06,667 --> 00:10:08,708
<i>And I find it interesting that it happened</i>

233
00:10:08,833 --> 00:10:11,333
<i>the same day we started drilling.</i>

234
00:10:11,458 --> 00:10:13,750
It's not clear to me
whether we're dealing with some

235
00:10:13,917 --> 00:10:16,167
radioactive phenomenon
or some EMI phenomenon.

236
00:10:16,375 --> 00:10:19,417
<i>But while Haleigh and Thomas
tend to the calf,</i>

237
00:10:19,542 --> 00:10:22,250
<i>I'll be taking measurements
to see if we can find a cause.</i>

238
00:10:24,083 --> 00:10:26,500
At least a month or two old here.

239
00:10:26,708 --> 00:10:29,208
Come here. Wait.

240
00:10:29,375 --> 00:10:31,792
Yeah. We definitely
have an increased heart rate

241
00:10:31,958 --> 00:10:33,417
and an increased respiratory rate.

242
00:10:36,917 --> 00:10:41,250
We have a temperature of 103.3.

243
00:10:42,375 --> 00:10:44,208
The high normal is 103 even,

244
00:10:44,375 --> 00:10:46,417
so the temperature's high.

245
00:10:46,542 --> 00:10:48,500
Easy.

246
00:10:48,667 --> 00:10:51,167
So definitely signs of some stress.

247
00:10:51,375 --> 00:10:53,583
Yes.

248
00:10:53,750 --> 00:10:55,792
When we have a fever,
that's typically an indication

249
00:10:55,958 --> 00:10:58,333
that we have some kind
of infection going on.

250
00:10:59,542 --> 00:11:01,167
I do think that she needs to be treated

251
00:11:01,292 --> 00:11:03,083
- with antibiotics.
- Okay.

252
00:11:03,250 --> 00:11:06,625
That infection can be secondary
due to something else,

253
00:11:06,792 --> 00:11:08,333
like low white blood cell count,

254
00:11:08,500 --> 00:11:12,250
which can be a symptom
of chronic radiation poisoning.

255
00:11:16,250 --> 00:11:17,934
But either way, I do feel like
this calf needs

256
00:11:17,958 --> 00:11:19,500
more diagnostics and blood work.

257
00:11:19,708 --> 00:11:21,500
- Okay.
- I do feel like

258
00:11:21,667 --> 00:11:23,500
this calf needs additional treatment.

259
00:11:24,542 --> 00:11:26,833
<i>There have been a lot
of strange cattle injuries</i>

260
00:11:27,042 --> 00:11:29,875
<i>and even deaths over the years
on Skinwalker Ranch.</i>

261
00:11:30,042 --> 00:11:33,292
And every single time,
we have to ask ourselves,

262
00:11:33,458 --> 00:11:35,958
is this cow just sick?
Or is it related to something

263
00:11:36,125 --> 00:11:38,250
that's happening here on the ranch?

264
00:11:38,375 --> 00:11:40,833
<i>The cow is right near
the boundary of the bubble,</i>

265
00:11:41,042 --> 00:11:44,125
<i>and we also just started
our drilling operation.</i>

266
00:11:44,292 --> 00:11:46,667
<i>Could these things
have something to do with it?</i>

267
00:11:47,708 --> 00:11:49,125
I'm also curious

268
00:11:49,292 --> 00:11:52,083
what Erik's finding
as you've been doing your scans.

269
00:11:52,250 --> 00:11:54,000
Thomas, I'm getting the same kind

270
00:11:54,167 --> 00:11:56,125
of radiation dose over here
that I would see

271
00:11:56,292 --> 00:11:58,708
at the command center
or anywhere else on the ranch.

272
00:11:58,875 --> 00:12:00,292
But, in the past,

273
00:12:00,458 --> 00:12:02,417
we've seen some enormous spikes

274
00:12:02,583 --> 00:12:04,125
in radiation. Very concerning.

275
00:12:04,292 --> 00:12:06,917
Okay. So we probably need
to load her up, take her back

276
00:12:07,083 --> 00:12:09,208
to the corrals.

277
00:12:09,375 --> 00:12:10,833
- Yeah.
- Okay.

278
00:12:14,042 --> 00:12:16,042
<i>Because the calf is ill</i>

279
00:12:16,208 --> 00:12:18,542
<i>and it could have been caused
by radiation,</i>

280
00:12:18,708 --> 00:12:20,000
Dr. Lundgreen requests

281
00:12:20,208 --> 00:12:22,042
that we get this calf back to the corral.

282
00:12:22,208 --> 00:12:23,708
All right.

283
00:12:24,667 --> 00:12:26,833
<i>Once there, she'll be better equipped</i>

284
00:12:26,958 --> 00:12:29,500
<i>to take blood samples from it and do</i>

285
00:12:29,667 --> 00:12:31,125
a more thorough checkup.

286
00:12:35,583 --> 00:12:36,833
Easy, easy, easy.

287
00:12:37,042 --> 00:12:39,292
Easy, buddy. Easy, buddy.

288
00:12:39,458 --> 00:12:41,000
All right.

289
00:12:41,167 --> 00:12:42,500
Okay. All right.

290
00:12:42,708 --> 00:12:44,167
Good to see the fight.

291
00:12:44,292 --> 00:12:46,375
- I know. That's a good sign.
- Come on.

292
00:12:46,542 --> 00:12:48,708
Come on. Come on. All right.

293
00:12:53,000 --> 00:12:55,000
- Showing some life now.
- Yeah.

294
00:12:55,125 --> 00:12:56,667
Well, it's interesting

295
00:12:56,875 --> 00:12:58,315
that we get her away from the bubble

296
00:12:58,417 --> 00:13:01,667
and now it's looking like it's got life to it.

297
00:13:01,833 --> 00:13:04,167
She's definitely happier.

298
00:13:04,375 --> 00:13:05,917
<i>When we got out there,</i>

299
00:13:06,083 --> 00:13:09,125
<i>the calf was not feeling well
and was pretty ill.</i>

300
00:13:09,292 --> 00:13:11,792
But pretty much as soon as
we got back over to the corral,

301
00:13:12,000 --> 00:13:13,708
<i>she was standing up</i>

302
00:13:13,875 --> 00:13:15,333
and wanting to run around and leave.

303
00:13:15,542 --> 00:13:17,292
The change was pretty drastic.

304
00:13:17,417 --> 00:13:19,250
So after evaluating,

305
00:13:19,375 --> 00:13:21,583
I do have some recommendations
for you guys.

306
00:13:21,792 --> 00:13:24,500
Since we're concerned about
an environmental factor here,

307
00:13:24,708 --> 00:13:27,292
I would highly recommend
that we do a chemistry panel,

308
00:13:27,458 --> 00:13:29,792
which is a baseline blood panel

309
00:13:29,917 --> 00:13:31,958
looking for any kind of blood issues,

310
00:13:32,125 --> 00:13:34,542
kidney function, liver function,

311
00:13:34,708 --> 00:13:36,958
- as well as a heavy metals test.
- Okay.

312
00:13:37,125 --> 00:13:39,292
Yeah, you know, based
on what we've seen out there,

313
00:13:39,458 --> 00:13:42,875
for safety going forward,
I'm gonna attach some dosimeters

314
00:13:43,042 --> 00:13:44,792
to monitor for radiation exposure.

315
00:13:44,958 --> 00:13:47,684
I'm thinking one for the calf,

316
00:13:47,708 --> 00:13:49,375
another for the mother

317
00:13:49,542 --> 00:13:51,833
to get, measurements
over the same time period.

318
00:13:52,042 --> 00:13:53,958
Well, then, I say we go ahead

319
00:13:54,125 --> 00:13:55,393
and get 'em into the squeeze chute

320
00:13:55,417 --> 00:13:58,000
and, we'll let you do your thing.

321
00:13:58,208 --> 00:14:00,292
- I'll meet you over there.
- All right. Sounds good.

322
00:14:00,458 --> 00:14:03,583
<i>I'm interested in any special causes</i>

323
00:14:03,792 --> 00:14:05,375
<i>for what is happening</i>

324
00:14:05,542 --> 00:14:08,062
with these young animals in this
particular region of the ranch.

325
00:14:08,125 --> 00:14:10,125
All right, ready? Sticking.

326
00:14:11,292 --> 00:14:13,292
<i>I'm very hopeful</i>
that Haleigh's going to be able

327
00:14:13,458 --> 00:14:16,083
<i>to give us some insights
on exactly what happened</i>

328
00:14:16,250 --> 00:14:18,667
<i>to them and what pattern might exist</i>

329
00:14:18,875 --> 00:14:20,958
at the boundary of our bubble.

330
00:14:21,125 --> 00:14:23,083
All right, baby. You're done.

331
00:14:23,292 --> 00:14:25,125
We'll keep a close eye on 'em.

332
00:14:25,333 --> 00:14:26,851
And if we see anything,
we'll let you know.

333
00:14:26,875 --> 00:14:28,542
- Yeah. I think she'll do well.
- Awesome.

334
00:14:28,667 --> 00:14:30,833
<i>- Thank you again.
- All right. Thank you.</i>

335
00:14:34,083 --> 00:14:36,458
<i>- Wow.
- Yeah, let's get</i>

336
00:14:36,583 --> 00:14:38,250
the tape in there.

337
00:14:38,417 --> 00:14:40,458
<i>By late afternoon, the drillers had gotten</i>

338
00:14:40,625 --> 00:14:42,208
<i>about four feet down</i>

339
00:14:42,333 --> 00:14:44,226
<i>when they had to wrap for the day.</i>

340
00:14:44,250 --> 00:14:46,833
That's a fantastic start, guys.

341
00:14:47,000 --> 00:14:49,167
<i>But for the rest of us,</i>

342
00:14:49,375 --> 00:14:51,333
<i>there was still gonna be
a long night ahead.</i>

343
00:14:51,500 --> 00:14:54,083
Guys, welcome back to the edge

344
00:14:54,250 --> 00:14:55,792
of the bubble.

345
00:14:55,958 --> 00:14:57,417
<i>We were gonna be running</i>

346
00:14:57,542 --> 00:15:00,625
a new experiment out
at the western bubble boundary.

347
00:15:00,750 --> 00:15:02,059
And returning to the ranch to help us

348
00:15:02,083 --> 00:15:03,667
was Preston Ward and his team

349
00:15:03,833 --> 00:15:06,792
<i>from Sky Elements Drone Shows.</i>

350
00:15:06,917 --> 00:15:08,667
If you look out there, you see the posts.

351
00:15:08,833 --> 00:15:12,125
That's the markers that show the
circumference of this bubble.

352
00:15:12,250 --> 00:15:15,333
That's where we want to focus
with the drone swarm.

353
00:15:15,500 --> 00:15:18,333
<i>Aside from what just happened
with the calf,</i>

354
00:15:18,542 --> 00:15:20,625
a lot of our instruments,
like rockets and drones

355
00:15:20,792 --> 00:15:23,167
and even larger stuff like a helikite,

356
00:15:23,333 --> 00:15:26,167
seem to get physically pushed
away or malfunction

357
00:15:26,375 --> 00:15:29,351
when they make contact
with the bubble boundary.

358
00:15:29,375 --> 00:15:31,167
It sounds insane.

359
00:15:31,333 --> 00:15:35,167
So to try and get a better
handle on why this is happening,

360
00:15:35,375 --> 00:15:37,500
we've invited Preston and his team back

361
00:15:37,708 --> 00:15:38,875
to run our next experiment.

362
00:15:39,042 --> 00:15:41,167
So, Preston,

363
00:15:41,333 --> 00:15:43,125
why don't you talk a little bit about,

364
00:15:43,292 --> 00:15:46,250
what you're gonna do tonight
and-and what you need from us.

365
00:15:46,417 --> 00:15:49,125
We're gonna set up
100 drones in this area,

366
00:15:49,333 --> 00:15:51,667
and then we're gonna lay
a ten-by-ten grid pattern.

367
00:15:51,792 --> 00:15:53,833
Then we're gonna move that in and out

368
00:15:54,000 --> 00:15:55,958
of the bubble wall up to 1,000 feet.

369
00:15:56,167 --> 00:15:58,083
Preston, do I understand that these are

370
00:15:58,208 --> 00:16:00,250
horizontal stacks?
Or are we gonna do a vertical?

371
00:16:00,417 --> 00:16:02,458
- These are horizontal stacks.
- Okay. -Awesome.

372
00:16:02,625 --> 00:16:04,292
<i>The drones come equipped</i>

373
00:16:04,458 --> 00:16:06,625
with GPS instruments which let us track

374
00:16:06,750 --> 00:16:08,167
all of their movements from launch,

375
00:16:08,292 --> 00:16:09,667
to the sky, and back.

376
00:16:09,875 --> 00:16:12,125
So if anything weird affects the drones

377
00:16:12,250 --> 00:16:13,750
as they go through the boundary,

378
00:16:13,917 --> 00:16:15,833
hopefully the data can tell us

379
00:16:16,000 --> 00:16:18,000
exactly where it happened
and for how long.

380
00:16:18,167 --> 00:16:20,000
While you guys do that,

381
00:16:20,167 --> 00:16:21,542
we're gonna be recording

382
00:16:21,708 --> 00:16:24,333
the drones with
specialty cameras and lidar.

383
00:16:24,542 --> 00:16:26,667
We'll also launch a rocket at one point

384
00:16:26,875 --> 00:16:28,417
while you guys are flying

385
00:16:28,583 --> 00:16:31,208
to see if it can get through
the bubble boundary, too.

386
00:16:31,375 --> 00:16:33,292
- Sounds like a plan.
- So, at this point,

387
00:16:33,458 --> 00:16:36,208
I think we need to get putting
stuff together and get to work,

388
00:16:36,375 --> 00:16:39,208
because, it's gonna be dark soon

389
00:16:39,375 --> 00:16:41,083
and you guys got a lot of work to do.

390
00:16:41,208 --> 00:16:44,208
- That we do.
- Let's get to work, y'all!

391
00:16:44,375 --> 00:16:46,292
<i>I'm really glad
to have the Sky Elements team</i>

392
00:16:46,458 --> 00:16:49,625
back on-site
to continue our work together

393
00:16:49,792 --> 00:16:52,000
in studying the bubble boundary.

394
00:16:52,167 --> 00:16:54,000
Let's get online fast.

395
00:16:54,208 --> 00:16:56,333
- I'm working on it.
- <i>And I'm hoping they're going</i>

396
00:16:56,542 --> 00:16:59,208
to give us insights
that we have yet to gain

397
00:16:59,375 --> 00:17:01,458
from any of the studies so far performed.

398
00:17:02,500 --> 00:17:04,167
So you're going to do a test flight

399
00:17:04,375 --> 00:17:06,375
- with the first-person drone?
- Yeah, I'm gonna go

400
00:17:06,542 --> 00:17:08,500
fly around the perimeter of the bubble.

401
00:17:08,667 --> 00:17:10,667
- Okay.
- And then I'm gonna do zigzags in and out

402
00:17:10,833 --> 00:17:13,542
- and just see if something's going on there.
- Okay.

403
00:17:15,042 --> 00:17:16,417
<i>In addition to all</i>

404
00:17:16,583 --> 00:17:18,333
<i>of our monitoring devices on the ground,</i>

405
00:17:18,500 --> 00:17:21,042
Brian Woodward
will also be flying a special

406
00:17:21,208 --> 00:17:22,750
first-person view drone,

407
00:17:22,917 --> 00:17:25,500
so we can monitor the swarm up close

408
00:17:25,667 --> 00:17:26,833
on a live video feed.

409
00:17:26,958 --> 00:17:28,542
Okay.

410
00:17:28,708 --> 00:17:30,292
Nice and easy.

411
00:17:38,792 --> 00:17:41,000
Exiting the bubble boundary.

412
00:17:42,667 --> 00:17:44,417
Coming back in.

413
00:17:46,042 --> 00:17:48,708
Turn around and go out
and then come back in.

414
00:17:48,875 --> 00:17:50,458
Whoa.

415
00:17:50,625 --> 00:17:52,042
I just lost control.

416
00:17:52,208 --> 00:17:54,018
Shoot, shoot, shoot, shoot,
shoot, shoot, shoot.

417
00:17:54,042 --> 00:17:56,000
- He just crashed.
- Man.

418
00:17:56,208 --> 00:17:57,750
I totally lost it.

419
00:17:57,875 --> 00:18:00,434
- And it was right when it went past the bubble boundary.
- Yeah.

420
00:18:00,458 --> 00:18:02,125
Shoot.

421
00:18:06,333 --> 00:18:08,167
<i>Didn't seem to crash into a wall.</i>

422
00:18:08,375 --> 00:18:11,292
<i>It just shorted out and fell to the ground.</i>

423
00:18:11,417 --> 00:18:15,250
<i>And this is a few yards from
where the cow was acting sick.</i>

424
00:18:15,417 --> 00:18:17,750
Is there something
in this area of the ranch

425
00:18:17,917 --> 00:18:19,417
causing these things to happen?

426
00:18:19,583 --> 00:18:22,018
And is it connected somehow
with the bubble boundary?

427
00:18:22,042 --> 00:18:24,000
Yo, Preston.

428
00:18:24,167 --> 00:18:26,007
- What's going on, guys?
- So I pulled this out

429
00:18:26,042 --> 00:18:29,000
to test just flying in and out
of the bubble over there.

430
00:18:29,125 --> 00:18:31,167
But as soon as I went by
one of the fence posts,

431
00:18:31,375 --> 00:18:33,833
just complete loss of video signal.

432
00:18:34,042 --> 00:18:35,667
Interesting. Do you have any idea

433
00:18:35,875 --> 00:18:38,417
- what might've caused it or...
- I have no idea.

434
00:18:38,583 --> 00:18:40,250
Well, Cameron is trying to get

435
00:18:40,417 --> 00:18:42,750
these four drones online,
and he can only get two.

436
00:18:42,917 --> 00:18:44,583
So you're already having issues

437
00:18:44,750 --> 00:18:46,750
with just connecting
to your drones over here?

438
00:18:46,917 --> 00:18:49,583
- Correct.
- Okay.

439
00:18:49,750 --> 00:18:53,167
I mean, that access point,
we fly entire shows off of one

440
00:18:53,333 --> 00:18:55,167
- that go 900 feet away.
- Yeah.

441
00:18:55,333 --> 00:18:57,000
The access point is...

442
00:18:57,167 --> 00:18:59,458
50 feet from those?

443
00:18:59,667 --> 00:19:01,542
Each one of those
can handle 1,500 drones.

444
00:19:01,708 --> 00:19:04,333
So we're trying to connect
four drones to a device

445
00:19:04,500 --> 00:19:07,250
that can handle 1,500. So it doesn't

446
00:19:07,375 --> 00:19:09,500
make any sense, especially with
how close they are.

447
00:19:09,625 --> 00:19:12,333
- That's very intriguing.
- Interesting.

448
00:19:12,500 --> 00:19:14,125
<i>In the number of times</i>

449
00:19:14,292 --> 00:19:15,875
<i>these guys have been out here now,</i>

450
00:19:16,042 --> 00:19:18,583
connectivity issues
always seem to crop up.

451
00:19:18,750 --> 00:19:20,833
And they tell us
this only happens to them

452
00:19:21,042 --> 00:19:22,667
on Skinwalker Ranch.

453
00:19:22,875 --> 00:19:24,292
And now here it is again.

454
00:19:24,458 --> 00:19:26,542
Plus, throw in the fact that, tonight,

455
00:19:26,708 --> 00:19:29,125
we're right at the bubble boundary.

456
00:19:29,250 --> 00:19:30,583
What's that adding to the mix?

457
00:19:30,750 --> 00:19:33,000
We're gonna see
if we can get these online

458
00:19:33,167 --> 00:19:35,333
- and get the show set up.
- Okay. Sounds good.

459
00:19:35,542 --> 00:19:37,662
- See you in a little bit.
- Thanks, guys. -Good luck.

460
00:19:46,417 --> 00:19:48,083
<i>When we had 'em
all set up before dark...</i>

461
00:19:48,250 --> 00:19:50,370
- We didn't see this at all.
- We didn't see anything.

462
00:19:50,542 --> 00:19:52,625
<i>After a few hours, Preston and Matt</i>

463
00:19:52,792 --> 00:19:54,958
<i>had finally managed to get all 100 drones</i>

464
00:19:55,083 --> 00:19:56,542
<i>connected to the network.</i>

465
00:19:56,708 --> 00:20:00,292
But right when the swarm
was ready to launch, guess what.

466
00:20:01,500 --> 00:20:03,167
Did you just lose 'em all again?

467
00:20:03,375 --> 00:20:04,667
Yeah. I have, like,

468
00:20:04,875 --> 00:20:06,667
40 dropping off.

469
00:20:07,750 --> 00:20:10,167
It's jumping around a lot.

470
00:20:11,917 --> 00:20:13,250
Yeah, now it's 50. So it k...

471
00:20:13,375 --> 00:20:14,833
It's like it's rising.

472
00:20:15,875 --> 00:20:17,375
Definitely some wireless latency.

473
00:20:17,542 --> 00:20:19,000
Yeah, very slow.

474
00:20:19,167 --> 00:20:20,667
We can't communicate with the drones

475
00:20:20,875 --> 00:20:23,958
because the wireless spectrum,
it's so flooded.

476
00:20:25,792 --> 00:20:27,833
My gosh.

477
00:20:29,750 --> 00:20:31,708
See, 99% utilized.

478
00:20:31,875 --> 00:20:33,333
Wow.

479
00:20:33,542 --> 00:20:36,750
So, for some reason now, it's saying

480
00:20:36,917 --> 00:20:38,417
that something else is using all

481
00:20:38,583 --> 00:20:40,583
- of the Wi-Fi bandwidth?
- Yep.

482
00:20:41,583 --> 00:20:43,667
I've never seen the spectrum that full.

483
00:20:43,792 --> 00:20:45,417
All over theme parks,

484
00:20:45,583 --> 00:20:49,417
different cities where there's a
huge amount of wireless traffic.

485
00:20:49,542 --> 00:20:51,333
I've never seen 99% utilization,

486
00:20:51,542 --> 00:20:54,583
- especially where we are.
- Wow.

487
00:20:57,500 --> 00:20:59,500
<i>Hey, guys, do you copy?</i>

488
00:21:01,292 --> 00:21:03,208
Yeah, Thomas. Go ahead. What's up?

489
00:21:05,208 --> 00:21:08,042
<i>They're seeing 99% utilization</i>

490
00:21:08,167 --> 00:21:09,833
<i>of the Wi-Fi spectrum.</i>

491
00:21:10,000 --> 00:21:12,583
They're having a hard time
keeping these things connected.

492
00:21:13,667 --> 00:21:14,893
<i>That's...</i>

493
00:21:14,917 --> 00:21:17,250
that's crazy.

494
00:21:17,458 --> 00:21:20,667
<i>We have our own Wi-Fi network
on the ranch.</i>

495
00:21:20,833 --> 00:21:24,333
And there are hardly any devices
using it at any given time.

496
00:21:24,500 --> 00:21:26,542
This shouldn't be a problem
for Sky Elements.

497
00:21:26,708 --> 00:21:29,333
So what the hell is using
all of our bandwidth?

498
00:21:29,542 --> 00:21:31,792
<i>And why right now?</i>

499
00:21:34,583 --> 00:21:36,625
- Did they just go?
- It seems to be

500
00:21:36,792 --> 00:21:38,083
better.

501
00:21:38,250 --> 00:21:39,833
- All of the sudden.
- For now.

502
00:21:40,042 --> 00:21:41,458
So you're good to go?

503
00:21:41,625 --> 00:21:43,101
Yeah, we're good to go
right now. It seems to be

504
00:21:43,125 --> 00:21:44,583
relatively stable.

505
00:21:44,792 --> 00:21:48,167
Wow. I wonder what suddenly changed.

506
00:21:48,333 --> 00:21:50,458
Hey, Thomas to the science tent.

507
00:21:50,667 --> 00:21:53,042
<i>Drones are all connected.
We got a green light to go?</i>

508
00:21:53,208 --> 00:21:54,750
Go, Thomas, go.

509
00:21:54,875 --> 00:21:56,042
<i>Copy that.</i>

510
00:21:56,208 --> 00:21:57,833
Five,

511
00:21:57,958 --> 00:21:59,851
four, three,

512
00:21:59,875 --> 00:22:01,708
<i>two, one.</i>

513
00:22:01,875 --> 00:22:03,667
- Launch.
- Drones are hot.

514
00:22:10,875 --> 00:22:12,542
Okay, taking off.

515
00:22:14,667 --> 00:22:16,458
<i>Despite the crash earlier,</i>

516
00:22:16,625 --> 00:22:19,208
<i>Brian was back up and running
with the FPV drone</i>

517
00:22:19,375 --> 00:22:22,000
to keep a close eye on the swarm
during the experiment.

518
00:22:22,167 --> 00:22:23,333
One didn't lift.

519
00:22:23,500 --> 00:22:24,958
Two didn't lift.

520
00:22:26,167 --> 00:22:27,458
You had two drones stay home?

521
00:22:27,625 --> 00:22:29,125
Two drones stayed home.

522
00:22:29,292 --> 00:22:32,958
- Travis, do you see?
- Yeah. They got a couple drones missing.

523
00:22:34,250 --> 00:22:37,125
Hey, Erik, be advised
there's a couple drones missing

524
00:22:37,292 --> 00:22:38,750
<i>in the constellation.</i>

525
00:22:38,875 --> 00:22:42,083
Copy that, Travis. That's very interesting.

526
00:22:42,208 --> 00:22:44,000
Thanks for the update.

527
00:22:44,167 --> 00:22:46,083
<i>The center of that</i>

528
00:22:46,250 --> 00:22:48,083
formation should be right over

529
00:22:48,292 --> 00:22:50,000
<i>the bubble boundary.</i>

530
00:22:50,167 --> 00:22:52,833
Right over the posts
marking the western boundary.

531
00:22:58,750 --> 00:23:00,292
What's the elevation?

532
00:23:00,417 --> 00:23:03,208
We are at 250 feet.

533
00:23:03,375 --> 00:23:05,958
Got about 25 off right now.

534
00:23:06,125 --> 00:23:07,625
Thirty.

535
00:23:09,333 --> 00:23:12,833
Where are they at in relation
to the boundary? Can you tell?

536
00:23:13,875 --> 00:23:17,083
It's... Definitely
seems like as they transition

537
00:23:17,208 --> 00:23:19,083
from outside the boundary to inside,

538
00:23:19,250 --> 00:23:21,000
they disconnected from the Wi-Fi.

539
00:23:23,875 --> 00:23:26,195
Right now, they're transitioning
through it and you can see

540
00:23:26,333 --> 00:23:27,667
that there's a lot of

541
00:23:27,792 --> 00:23:29,500
- disconnecting and dropping off.
- Wow.

542
00:23:31,542 --> 00:23:33,083
<i>As the swarm rose in elevation</i>

543
00:23:33,250 --> 00:23:35,333
<i>and moved back and forth
through the bubble boundary,</i>

544
00:23:35,500 --> 00:23:38,417
<i>the drones kept losing
their Wi-Fi connection</i>

545
00:23:38,583 --> 00:23:40,667
<i>only when they passed
through the boundary.</i>

546
00:23:40,833 --> 00:23:42,375
As soon as they were through it,

547
00:23:42,542 --> 00:23:44,333
the connection would come back.

548
00:23:44,500 --> 00:23:46,000
Every single time.

549
00:23:46,167 --> 00:23:48,833
And with all 100 drones.

550
00:23:49,042 --> 00:23:51,917
<i>It is coming into the bubble now.</i>

551
00:23:54,375 --> 00:23:56,750
We can confirm that with what
it's showing on the computer.

552
00:23:56,917 --> 00:23:59,875
- Yeah.
- What-What's the elevation?

553
00:24:00,042 --> 00:24:01,667
It's 1,000 feet.

554
00:24:03,250 --> 00:24:04,917
Pretty stable there.

555
00:24:05,083 --> 00:24:09,208
- Yeah.
- <i>Hey, guys, we are at 1,000 feet now.</i>

556
00:24:09,417 --> 00:24:10,833
Whoa. Look at that.

557
00:24:11,000 --> 00:24:14,625
We just had a giant hit at 1.6 gigahertz.

558
00:24:16,708 --> 00:24:18,667
<i>Hey, Erik, do you copy?</i>

559
00:24:19,625 --> 00:24:21,167
Yeah, Travis, loud and clear.

560
00:24:21,375 --> 00:24:23,500
<i>I'm picking up a 1.6 gigahertz signal</i>

561
00:24:23,667 --> 00:24:25,333
<i>on the hand held spectrum analyzer.</i>

562
00:24:25,542 --> 00:24:27,393
That's strange.

563
00:24:27,417 --> 00:24:29,833
- I don't see anything on my end.
- Really?

564
00:24:30,000 --> 00:24:32,750
- That's interesting now.
- Yeah, it's very interesting.

565
00:24:32,917 --> 00:24:34,958
<i>It's weird that my hand held
spectrum analyzer</i>

566
00:24:35,125 --> 00:24:39,667
<i>is the only one picking up
this 1.6 gigahertz signal.</i>

567
00:24:39,875 --> 00:24:42,042
And that I only picked it up
after some of the drones

568
00:24:42,167 --> 00:24:44,833
lost their Wi-Fi signal again.

569
00:24:44,958 --> 00:24:46,458
Could it be coming from whatever's

570
00:24:46,625 --> 00:24:47,958
shutting down that connection?

571
00:24:49,667 --> 00:24:51,667
Let us know when they start
their descent.

572
00:24:51,833 --> 00:24:53,708
They're starting to come down now.

573
00:24:55,875 --> 00:24:57,458
- Wow.
- Whoa!

574
00:24:58,792 --> 00:25:01,167
We're getting some pretty big wobble.

575
00:25:01,333 --> 00:25:02,875
Whoa!

576
00:25:03,833 --> 00:25:05,708
They're starting to fall out of formation.

577
00:25:12,875 --> 00:25:14,500
The one almost hit the other.

578
00:25:14,708 --> 00:25:16,833
Whoa! It almost hit it.

579
00:25:17,875 --> 00:25:20,833
<i>Right after I picked up
a 1.6 gigahertz signal,</i>

580
00:25:21,000 --> 00:25:22,880
the drone swarm started
losing its preprogrammed

581
00:25:23,042 --> 00:25:24,708
square formation,

582
00:25:24,875 --> 00:25:26,750
<i>and a bunch of the drones looked like</i>

583
00:25:26,875 --> 00:25:28,875
<i>they were gonna crash into each other.</i>

584
00:25:30,000 --> 00:25:31,875
Look at that.

585
00:25:32,042 --> 00:25:34,667
<i>So, maybe that signal
came from the bubble boundary</i>

586
00:25:34,792 --> 00:25:36,500
<i>and messed up the drones.</i>

587
00:25:38,583 --> 00:25:40,042
All back down.

588
00:25:40,208 --> 00:25:42,542
Erik, be advised,
the drones are on the ground.

589
00:25:42,667 --> 00:25:46,083
The FPV is still flying around over them.

590
00:25:46,250 --> 00:25:47,667
Copy that, Travis.

591
00:25:47,833 --> 00:25:49,500
<i>It would appear the disruptive effects</i>

592
00:25:49,708 --> 00:25:51,917
<i>with the drone swarm happens
as it penetrates</i>

593
00:25:52,042 --> 00:25:54,167
<i>the western boundary
of what we call the bubble.</i>

594
00:25:54,375 --> 00:25:56,500
<i>We're talking about an area
that's just right there</i>

595
00:25:56,708 --> 00:25:58,333
<i>next to Homestead Two.</i>

596
00:25:58,500 --> 00:25:59,958
<i>So many interesting things happen</i>

597
00:26:00,083 --> 00:26:01,917
<i>in that part of the ranch,
and we're seeing</i>

598
00:26:02,042 --> 00:26:04,417
corroboration of some of the history

599
00:26:04,625 --> 00:26:07,917
in the current behavior
of this drone swarm.

600
00:26:10,000 --> 00:26:11,375
Weird.

601
00:26:11,583 --> 00:26:13,018
It just really seemed like,
as they transition

602
00:26:13,042 --> 00:26:14,708
from outside to inside the bubble,

603
00:26:14,875 --> 00:26:16,250
we see them start to wobble.

604
00:26:16,458 --> 00:26:17,726
Yeah, that transition was definitely

605
00:26:17,750 --> 00:26:19,375
causing connectivity issues,

606
00:26:19,542 --> 00:26:22,417
and it seemed to be when you got
to the outside of the bubble,

607
00:26:22,542 --> 00:26:24,917
it was better than when it was
on the inside of the bubble.

608
00:26:25,125 --> 00:26:26,417
And that's very unusual,

609
00:26:26,542 --> 00:26:28,250
because when you're inside the barrier,

610
00:26:28,375 --> 00:26:29,833
we're closer to the access points.

611
00:26:30,042 --> 00:26:31,726
When we're outside the barrier,
we're further away.

612
00:26:31,750 --> 00:26:33,208
Makes that Wi-Fi disconnection

613
00:26:33,375 --> 00:26:34,583
even stranger, right?

614
00:26:34,750 --> 00:26:36,083
- Correct.
- Yes.

615
00:26:37,625 --> 00:26:39,333
So, will we still be able to run

616
00:26:39,500 --> 00:26:41,167
<i>the second swarm?</i>

617
00:26:41,333 --> 00:26:43,000
What do you guys think?

618
00:26:43,125 --> 00:26:45,333
About ten minutes
and we'll be ready to go,

619
00:26:45,500 --> 00:26:47,167
assuming we get a Wi-Fi signal.

620
00:26:47,375 --> 00:26:49,333
<i>Erik, they're saying it'll take them</i>

621
00:26:49,542 --> 00:26:52,333
about ten minutes before they're
ready to take flight again.

622
00:26:52,542 --> 00:26:53,958
Copy that.

623
00:26:54,083 --> 00:26:55,750
<i>The second phase
of the drone experiment</i>

624
00:26:55,917 --> 00:26:57,958
<i>was gonna be much smaller.</i>

625
00:26:58,125 --> 00:27:01,458
<i>These drones were set to fly
in consecutive pairs,</i>

626
00:27:01,625 --> 00:27:03,667
<i>in and out of the bubble boundary,</i>

627
00:27:03,875 --> 00:27:06,917
<i>and once again,
to an elevation of 1,000 feet.</i>

628
00:27:07,125 --> 00:27:10,167
We wanted to see if fewer drones
would be able to maintain

629
00:27:10,292 --> 00:27:11,792
a more stable Wi-Fi connection.

630
00:27:12,000 --> 00:27:14,333
All right, so, Kaleb and I
are about to load up

631
00:27:14,458 --> 00:27:16,250
and then, take the rockets down.

632
00:27:16,417 --> 00:27:18,167
Copy that.

633
00:27:18,333 --> 00:27:20,833
<i>Once the drones
reach maximum altitude,</i>

634
00:27:20,958 --> 00:27:23,167
<i>Kaleb and I were set to launch a rocket</i>

635
00:27:23,333 --> 00:27:26,750
<i>from just outside the bubble
boundary at Homestead Two.</i>

636
00:27:28,417 --> 00:27:32,542
In 2023, we launched
a rocket here after we detected

637
00:27:32,708 --> 00:27:35,250
<i>one of those strange
1.6 gigahertz signals.</i>

638
00:27:35,458 --> 00:27:36,726
Hey, it looks like it's stuck there.

639
00:27:36,750 --> 00:27:38,625
- Look.
- Yeah.

640
00:27:38,750 --> 00:27:40,750
<i>And as the rocket
was coming back down,</i>

641
00:27:40,875 --> 00:27:43,333
<i>it froze in midair for a few moments.</i>

642
00:27:43,500 --> 00:27:44,958
It was just nuts.

643
00:27:45,167 --> 00:27:47,792
So, now, we wanted to launch
a rocket at the same spot

644
00:27:47,958 --> 00:27:51,167
of the bubble boundary again
for two reasons.

645
00:27:51,375 --> 00:27:54,458
First, if this rocket freezes,
that might confirm

646
00:27:54,625 --> 00:27:56,708
that the boundary was what caused it.

647
00:27:56,917 --> 00:27:59,875
And second, we wanted to see
if something even stranger

648
00:28:00,042 --> 00:28:01,458
would happen to the drones

649
00:28:01,625 --> 00:28:03,065
as they passed through the boundary.

650
00:28:06,667 --> 00:28:08,333
We're ready whenever y'all are.

651
00:28:08,500 --> 00:28:10,292
And the show is rolling.

652
00:28:10,458 --> 00:28:11,667
Five,

653
00:28:11,833 --> 00:28:13,333
<i>four, three,</i>

654
00:28:13,542 --> 00:28:15,542
two, one.

655
00:28:15,708 --> 00:28:17,833
- Launch.
- Drones are hot.

656
00:28:18,042 --> 00:28:19,917
First two taking off.

657
00:28:21,458 --> 00:28:23,042
What's our elevation?

658
00:28:23,208 --> 00:28:24,917
Coming up on 500 feet.

659
00:28:26,792 --> 00:28:28,917
<i>500 feet and climbing.</i>

660
00:28:33,042 --> 00:28:36,083
Hey, Travis,
we are approaching 900 feet.

661
00:28:37,250 --> 00:28:38,458
Copy that, Thomas.

662
00:28:41,375 --> 00:28:43,417
Yeah, we're over 900 now.

663
00:28:43,583 --> 00:28:45,667
We are now over 900.

664
00:28:46,583 --> 00:28:48,042
<i>Copy that.</i>

665
00:28:48,208 --> 00:28:50,958
We're about to launch
the rocket in about ten seconds.

666
00:28:52,625 --> 00:28:54,292
We're at 1,000 feet.

667
00:28:54,500 --> 00:28:58,125
<i>Drones have reached
their ceiling of 1,000 feet.</i>

668
00:28:58,333 --> 00:29:00,958
<i>We're passing through
the bubble boundary now.</i>

669
00:29:05,333 --> 00:29:07,667
Rocket's launching in five, four,

670
00:29:07,833 --> 00:29:10,250
three, two, one.

671
00:29:13,500 --> 00:29:14,833
That one went.

672
00:29:17,708 --> 00:29:20,333
The drones are now on their way down.

673
00:29:21,708 --> 00:29:24,042
Whoa, did you see that? Did you see it?

674
00:29:24,208 --> 00:29:26,083
Something just zipped
right across the sky.

675
00:29:26,208 --> 00:29:28,917
Erik, something just zipped
right overhead just above.

676
00:29:29,042 --> 00:29:31,875
Homestead Two, moving real fast.

677
00:29:34,708 --> 00:29:36,893
I don't know if you were... had
any cameras looking this way.

678
00:29:36,917 --> 00:29:38,167
The high-speed cameras

679
00:29:38,292 --> 00:29:39,958
are going and pointed that direction.

680
00:29:40,125 --> 00:29:41,500
There's a great possibility

681
00:29:41,667 --> 00:29:44,125
<i>I caught it in the camera.</i>

682
00:29:44,333 --> 00:29:46,333
Copy. I didn't see anything in real time,

683
00:29:46,542 --> 00:29:49,750
so I'll look for it
when I process the camera data.

684
00:29:51,000 --> 00:29:52,542
<i>That was one of the most stunning UAPs</i>

685
00:29:52,708 --> 00:29:54,250
<i>I've ever seen.</i>

686
00:29:54,417 --> 00:29:57,167
And it appeared right after
we launched that rocket.

687
00:29:58,375 --> 00:30:00,000
Next group is up.

688
00:30:00,208 --> 00:30:02,500
<i>We were hoping it might show up again</i>

689
00:30:02,625 --> 00:30:04,025
during the rest of our drone swarm.

690
00:30:04,125 --> 00:30:05,500
<i>But the remaining pairs flew</i>

691
00:30:05,708 --> 00:30:08,083
<i>without anything unusual showing up.</i>

692
00:30:08,250 --> 00:30:11,333
And final set of drones
are on their way down.

693
00:30:11,542 --> 00:30:14,625
So, hopefully,
whatever that blue orb was,

694
00:30:14,792 --> 00:30:16,333
we caught it on one of our cameras,

695
00:30:16,542 --> 00:30:19,333
and it'll show up after Erik
has time to process it

696
00:30:19,542 --> 00:30:21,292
<i>with his Meta-Frame software.</i>

697
00:30:26,292 --> 00:30:28,208
I cannot wait to see

698
00:30:28,375 --> 00:30:31,000
all of the data
that Sky Elements took tonight

699
00:30:31,208 --> 00:30:33,458
with all the drones
moving in and out of the bubble.

700
00:30:33,583 --> 00:30:35,875
Yeah, this is the most
problematic I've ever had

701
00:30:36,083 --> 00:30:38,083
trying to get 100 drones up anywhere.

702
00:30:38,250 --> 00:30:40,417
And, you know,
we don't have issues when we do

703
00:30:40,583 --> 00:30:42,833
thousands of drones,
so it was very, very odd,

704
00:30:43,042 --> 00:30:45,333
that it was so bad in just, in a field.

705
00:30:45,500 --> 00:30:47,167
I kind of have a feeling that,

706
00:30:47,292 --> 00:30:49,833
after we have time to start
reviewing some of this,

707
00:30:50,000 --> 00:30:52,333
we're gonna find there was
probably more going on tonight

708
00:30:52,500 --> 00:30:54,667
- than what any of us realized.
- Quite possibly.

709
00:30:54,792 --> 00:30:56,333
- Quite possibly.
- Well, look, I know

710
00:30:56,542 --> 00:30:59,625
you guys got a lot to pack up,
so I say we, get to it.

711
00:30:59,792 --> 00:31:01,018
Yeah, thanks for a great exercise.

712
00:31:01,042 --> 00:31:02,375
That was am... that was amazing.

713
00:31:02,583 --> 00:31:04,000
Can't wait to see all this data.

714
00:31:04,208 --> 00:31:05,333
Thanks, everybody.

715
00:31:11,917 --> 00:31:13,125
<i>So, what do you got, Erik?</i>

716
00:31:13,292 --> 00:31:15,000
We got, Preston and Matt,

717
00:31:15,208 --> 00:31:17,125
From Sky Elements on the line,

718
00:31:17,292 --> 00:31:18,768
and I can't wait
to find out what kind of data

719
00:31:18,792 --> 00:31:20,833
they've got to share with us.

720
00:31:22,375 --> 00:31:24,667
Hey, Preston. Hey, Matt.
Thanks for joining.

721
00:31:24,875 --> 00:31:26,667
<i>- How's it going, guys?
- Hey.</i>

722
00:31:26,875 --> 00:31:30,226
<i>Erik and the guys
from Sky Elements worked fast</i>

723
00:31:30,250 --> 00:31:32,875
to get all their data processed
by the next day.

724
00:31:33,042 --> 00:31:35,500
So, after all the problems
they had with the drones

725
00:31:35,708 --> 00:31:37,250
during the experiment,

726
00:31:37,417 --> 00:31:40,042
we hoped to learn some things
about the bubble boundary.

727
00:31:40,208 --> 00:31:42,101
What I'd like to do is,
is-is have you guys jump

728
00:31:42,125 --> 00:31:45,375
right into the data coming back
out of the drone swarm.

729
00:31:45,542 --> 00:31:48,333
<i>Yeah, absolutely, so, Matt
got some real interesting data</i>

730
00:31:48,542 --> 00:31:51,458
looking at some of the Wi-Fi
communication issues,

731
00:31:51,583 --> 00:31:52,875
and then, also, some of the,

732
00:31:53,042 --> 00:31:55,726
the other weirdness
that we saw that night.

733
00:31:55,750 --> 00:31:57,292
<i>I'll share my screen here.</i>

734
00:31:59,250 --> 00:32:00,625
Okay.

735
00:32:00,792 --> 00:32:02,375
<i>So, this is data we've collected</i>

736
00:32:02,542 --> 00:32:04,667
<i>from one of our drones
from our 100-drone swarm test</i>

737
00:32:04,833 --> 00:32:06,417
<i>the other night.</i>

738
00:32:06,542 --> 00:32:08,875
<i>Once we were able
to connect most of the drones,</i>

739
00:32:09,042 --> 00:32:10,882
<i>here's what we were able
to get from the field.</i>

740
00:32:11,917 --> 00:32:13,167
- Yes.
<i>- And then kind of</i>

741
00:32:13,375 --> 00:32:15,375
<i>zigzagging our way up to 1,000 feet,</i>

742
00:32:15,542 --> 00:32:18,375
<i>flying out through
the bubble in here, right?</i>

743
00:32:18,583 --> 00:32:21,167
Each drone has two communication
channels with the ground.

744
00:32:21,333 --> 00:32:23,351
<i>And that's really important
from a redundancy perspective,</i>

745
00:32:23,375 --> 00:32:25,375
<i>as well as for safety, for the drones</i>

746
00:32:25,542 --> 00:32:28,208
<i>to keep their formations
tight and locked in.</i>

747
00:32:28,417 --> 00:32:30,017
<i>The green and orange lines
here represent</i>

748
00:32:30,042 --> 00:32:31,625
<i>two independent data connections.</i>

749
00:32:31,750 --> 00:32:34,750
Orange is Wi-Fi, green is
our long-range wireless signal.

750
00:32:34,875 --> 00:32:36,684
And when they are both connected
and working normally,

751
00:32:36,708 --> 00:32:38,250
<i>these lines overlap.</i>

752
00:32:38,417 --> 00:32:40,833
<i>But in this area,
this is communication loss.</i>

753
00:32:40,958 --> 00:32:42,833
- Really?
<i>- Yes.</i>

754
00:32:43,000 --> 00:32:44,917
<i>When we get to a little over 200 feet</i>

755
00:32:45,083 --> 00:32:46,833
<i>above the ground, as we're transitioning</i>

756
00:32:47,042 --> 00:32:49,292
<i>through the bubble boundary,
our Wi-Fi channel,</i>

757
00:32:49,458 --> 00:32:52,208
<i>which is the orange line here,
begins to degrade.</i>

758
00:32:52,375 --> 00:32:54,250
So, you're showing
that you're missing data

759
00:32:54,417 --> 00:32:57,208
once you cross through
the bubble barrier.

760
00:32:57,375 --> 00:32:59,500
- Yes. Correct.
- Wow, look at that.

761
00:32:59,708 --> 00:33:01,083
Look at that.

762
00:33:01,208 --> 00:33:03,083
<i>There's definitely something in this area</i>

763
00:33:03,208 --> 00:33:06,125
<i>right here that is reducing
our Wi-Fi signal.</i>

764
00:33:06,292 --> 00:33:07,833
Well, that's interesting.

765
00:33:07,958 --> 00:33:09,893
<i>Yeah, I wouldn't expect</i>

766
00:33:09,917 --> 00:33:11,167
<i>to lose Wi-Fi communication,</i>

767
00:33:11,375 --> 00:33:13,625
especially at a lower altitude as well.

768
00:33:13,792 --> 00:33:15,167
That makes sense.

769
00:33:16,125 --> 00:33:17,958
<i>But you can kind of see here,</i>

770
00:33:18,083 --> 00:33:20,250
<i>as we start to come out
of the bubble boundary,</i>

771
00:33:20,417 --> 00:33:22,417
<i>things seem to kind of
resolve themselves,</i>

772
00:33:22,583 --> 00:33:24,583
<i>which is, in itself, interesting.</i>

773
00:33:24,750 --> 00:33:26,000
Wow, look at that.

774
00:33:26,167 --> 00:33:28,333
That is a significant difference.

775
00:33:28,458 --> 00:33:30,000
Yeah. Yep.

776
00:33:30,208 --> 00:33:32,128
I'm interested to see
if you saw a similar effect

777
00:33:32,250 --> 00:33:34,333
on the two drone formation flights.

778
00:33:34,500 --> 00:33:35,833
Great question.

779
00:33:36,042 --> 00:33:38,125
I can pull one of those up right now, too.

780
00:33:39,875 --> 00:33:41,792
<i>There you go.</i>

781
00:33:41,917 --> 00:33:43,708
<i>Big loss of signal there.</i>

782
00:33:43,875 --> 00:33:45,917
Wow, look at that.

783
00:33:46,042 --> 00:33:48,833
Hey, Matt, what was the point,

784
00:33:48,958 --> 00:33:50,958
from when you lose connection

785
00:33:51,125 --> 00:33:52,809
and when you get it back,
how much time was that?

786
00:33:52,833 --> 00:33:54,292
Yeah, what is that time?

787
00:33:54,458 --> 00:33:56,458
<i>That's, like, a full minute.</i>

788
00:33:56,583 --> 00:33:59,542
What is the speed
that these drones were flying?

789
00:33:59,667 --> 00:34:01,167
- Do we know?
- <i>During that period</i>

790
00:34:01,375 --> 00:34:03,500
of time when we lost connection
to the drones,

791
00:34:03,625 --> 00:34:06,417
<i>we were going about two feet
per second horizontally.</i>

792
00:34:06,583 --> 00:34:09,417
Two feet per second for one minute,

793
00:34:09,542 --> 00:34:11,250
that's 120 feet.

794
00:34:13,000 --> 00:34:15,000
We just may have, for the first time ever,

795
00:34:15,208 --> 00:34:17,417
measured the width
of the bubble boundary.

796
00:34:17,583 --> 00:34:20,167
- Wow.
- Wow.

797
00:34:20,292 --> 00:34:22,125
<i>According to the data, when the drones</i>

798
00:34:22,250 --> 00:34:24,333
<i>zigged and zagged up
through the bubble boundary,</i>

799
00:34:24,542 --> 00:34:26,583
<i>the connection to the base station</i>

800
00:34:26,708 --> 00:34:31,583
<i>cut out for a horizontal
distance of exactly 120 feet.</i>

801
00:34:31,708 --> 00:34:33,458
This experiment helped us
to better map out

802
00:34:33,583 --> 00:34:35,851
the actual dimensions of the bubble

803
00:34:35,875 --> 00:34:38,167
and the thickness of its boundary.

804
00:34:38,375 --> 00:34:40,667
It's about 120 feet thick,

805
00:34:40,833 --> 00:34:43,250
or at least it was
on this particular experiment.

806
00:34:43,375 --> 00:34:45,208
Yeah, it could be fluctuating.

807
00:34:45,375 --> 00:34:47,583
And it might only be
that thick for the signal

808
00:34:47,750 --> 00:34:50,042
the drones were using
to communicate with.

809
00:34:50,208 --> 00:34:51,851
So, we need to measure it
with other phenomenon.

810
00:34:51,875 --> 00:34:53,309
- Yeah, that's a good point.
- It'll be something

811
00:34:53,333 --> 00:34:55,226
to watch as we do future experiments,

812
00:34:55,250 --> 00:34:57,875
to see if that 120 stays consistent

813
00:34:58,042 --> 00:34:59,250
or if we see fluctuation.

814
00:34:59,417 --> 00:35:01,042
That's a great idea. Man.

815
00:35:01,208 --> 00:35:03,958
This is exciting, guys. This is fantastic.

816
00:35:04,125 --> 00:35:07,000
Preston, Matt, you know,
gosh, this has brought

817
00:35:07,125 --> 00:35:08,500
so many insights to the table.

818
00:35:08,708 --> 00:35:11,292
We are so grateful
to have this level of detail

819
00:35:11,500 --> 00:35:14,167
coming out of this one exercise.

820
00:35:14,375 --> 00:35:15,833
Can't wait to follow up.

821
00:35:16,042 --> 00:35:18,542
We'll see you guys next time, all right?

822
00:35:18,708 --> 00:35:20,000
Sounds good. Thanks, guys.

823
00:35:20,167 --> 00:35:21,447
<i>- Thanks, everybody.</i>
- Thank you.

824
00:35:21,542 --> 00:35:23,333
See you guys.

825
00:35:23,500 --> 00:35:25,958
Now, Pete, I know you've got
some data to share with us

826
00:35:26,125 --> 00:35:27,500
from the bubble boundary.

827
00:35:27,667 --> 00:35:29,750
- You ready to bring that up?
- Sure.

828
00:35:29,958 --> 00:35:31,458
I'll show you what I have.

829
00:35:33,083 --> 00:35:37,000
So, this is the terrestrial
laser scanner data

830
00:35:37,208 --> 00:35:40,333
from, just outside the bubble boundary.

831
00:35:40,542 --> 00:35:44,792
So, you can see over here,
this is the face of the mesa,

832
00:35:44,958 --> 00:35:46,833
and then the tree line,

833
00:35:47,000 --> 00:35:50,083
and Homestead Two
is right in those trees.

834
00:35:50,250 --> 00:35:52,042
- Look at that.
- Now,

835
00:35:52,208 --> 00:35:54,458
what is this?

836
00:35:57,208 --> 00:35:59,500
I can't... zoom over there to it.

837
00:36:00,500 --> 00:36:03,500
Well, that's up in the sky.

838
00:36:03,625 --> 00:36:05,833
Well, it seems like the trees there

839
00:36:06,042 --> 00:36:08,250
appear to be pushed up in the sky

840
00:36:08,417 --> 00:36:10,667
above the Homestead area.

841
00:36:10,833 --> 00:36:13,042
You think we're looking at
displaced data there again?

842
00:36:13,208 --> 00:36:15,000
Because we've certainly
seen that before.

843
00:36:15,167 --> 00:36:18,625
We have, but displaced from what?

844
00:36:20,250 --> 00:36:21,417
Let's see if that lines up

845
00:36:21,583 --> 00:36:23,792
- with the other features.
- Okay.

846
00:36:24,792 --> 00:36:26,792
If you zoomed in just a little bit...

847
00:36:28,208 --> 00:36:30,583
There it is. There it is.

848
00:36:30,750 --> 00:36:32,333
- There it is.
- It's supposed to be

849
00:36:32,542 --> 00:36:35,167
right there. Look right there.
It's supposed to fit.

850
00:36:35,375 --> 00:36:37,875
- So, it's the top of that tree...
- Displaced.

851
00:36:38,042 --> 00:36:40,583
Right over Homestead
Two, and it's pushed out.

852
00:36:40,750 --> 00:36:42,667
- 60 meters.
- 60 meters, so...

853
00:36:42,875 --> 00:36:45,167
For some reason,

854
00:36:45,333 --> 00:36:48,833
you're displaced about 200 feet

855
00:36:49,000 --> 00:36:51,000
away from Homestead Two.

856
00:36:51,208 --> 00:36:52,458
That's interesting.

857
00:36:54,833 --> 00:36:56,458
Well, but wait a minute.

858
00:36:56,625 --> 00:36:59,500
Right where that displaced treetop is,

859
00:36:59,708 --> 00:37:02,333
that's right where we saw a blue orb

860
00:37:02,542 --> 00:37:04,208
fly from the mesa
across Homestead Two

861
00:37:04,375 --> 00:37:05,958
- to the trees on the south.
- Yes.

862
00:37:06,125 --> 00:37:08,167
- Wow.
- Wow.

863
00:37:13,792 --> 00:37:15,667
<i>Pete's lidar data was split,</i>

864
00:37:15,833 --> 00:37:18,750
<i>and part of it was displaced,
like, 200 feet away</i>

865
00:37:18,875 --> 00:37:20,851
<i>from where it should have appeared.</i>

866
00:37:20,875 --> 00:37:24,625
I swear, that's right where
Kaleb and I saw a UAP

867
00:37:24,792 --> 00:37:26,000
during the experiment.

868
00:37:26,208 --> 00:37:28,333
That's too crazy to be a coincidence.

869
00:37:30,083 --> 00:37:32,375
Did you record this in Meta-Frame?

870
00:37:32,542 --> 00:37:34,500
We might have a Meta-Frame trace of it.

871
00:37:34,667 --> 00:37:37,250
That would be amazing.

872
00:37:37,375 --> 00:37:39,000
Let's take a look.

873
00:37:39,208 --> 00:37:42,167
I'm gonna take us to the exact
time of Pete's lidar scan.

874
00:37:42,375 --> 00:37:45,208
And remember, this will play
like a time-lapse.

875
00:37:49,750 --> 00:37:53,458
Okay, so, you may recognize
already the form that you see.

876
00:37:53,667 --> 00:37:55,458
You know, that this lines up perfectly

877
00:37:55,667 --> 00:37:58,500
- with the flight plan for the, for the drones.
- Yeah.

878
00:37:58,708 --> 00:38:01,167
Okay, so we're gonna play forward.

879
00:38:01,375 --> 00:38:03,333
Any new lights emerge?

880
00:38:04,208 --> 00:38:05,792
I think I see it.

881
00:38:07,500 --> 00:38:09,667
So, watch that little dot right there.

882
00:38:09,833 --> 00:38:13,250
- Okay.
- All right, should I back up, Thomas?

883
00:38:13,417 --> 00:38:15,542
- Yeah.
- Okay.

884
00:38:15,708 --> 00:38:16,917
I'm backing up.

885
00:38:19,417 --> 00:38:21,250
Okay, going forward.

886
00:38:23,292 --> 00:38:24,667
Okay, there's the light.

887
00:38:24,875 --> 00:38:26,167
That's right over Homestead Two.

888
00:38:26,292 --> 00:38:27,667
That could be it.

889
00:38:27,833 --> 00:38:30,125
- It could very well be.
- And see,

890
00:38:30,292 --> 00:38:32,333
if you look close,

891
00:38:32,500 --> 00:38:34,292
these are the posts
for the bubble boundary

892
00:38:34,458 --> 00:38:35,792
right here by Homestead Two.

893
00:38:35,917 --> 00:38:37,417
- Yeah. -Yes, they are.
- Right?

894
00:38:37,625 --> 00:38:40,125
So, that kind of gives you
a reference as to

895
00:38:40,250 --> 00:38:42,708
- where you're at in space.
- Yeah. -Yeah.

896
00:38:42,833 --> 00:38:44,417
And it appeared right about the time

897
00:38:44,542 --> 00:38:47,458
we said that it was, it would appear.

898
00:38:47,625 --> 00:38:49,833
So, during about that same time,

899
00:38:50,000 --> 00:38:52,167
we've got your lidar anomaly,

900
00:38:52,375 --> 00:38:53,875
we've got that light in the sky.

901
00:38:54,083 --> 00:38:55,750
And then, we've got the other things

902
00:38:55,917 --> 00:38:59,042
going on with the drones,
so that's fascinating.

903
00:38:59,250 --> 00:39:01,542
- I mean, it correlates, anyway.
- Right.

904
00:39:01,708 --> 00:39:04,042
<i>I don't know what that UAP was,</i>

905
00:39:04,208 --> 00:39:06,500
<i>where it came from or where it went,</i>

906
00:39:06,708 --> 00:39:09,351
<i>but could it have been related
to Pete's messed-up data?</i>

907
00:39:09,375 --> 00:39:11,792
And was it somehow connected

908
00:39:11,958 --> 00:39:14,125
to whatever caused
the issues that Sky Elements had

909
00:39:14,292 --> 00:39:16,333
at the start of the experiment?

910
00:39:16,542 --> 00:39:18,958
Just more questions
we need to find answers for.

911
00:39:19,083 --> 00:39:21,500
You know, I got to tell you,
the more and more we do

912
00:39:21,667 --> 00:39:23,458
these experiments on the barrier

913
00:39:23,583 --> 00:39:25,583
of the bubble wall, whatever it is,

914
00:39:25,750 --> 00:39:27,083
it makes me think it...

915
00:39:27,250 --> 00:39:29,417
that this, it could be a real thing.

916
00:39:29,542 --> 00:39:31,542
- Yeah.
- It's so weird.

917
00:39:31,708 --> 00:39:33,684
Well, I have a feeling
that's gonna be a driver

918
00:39:33,708 --> 00:39:35,792
for our experiments for weeks to come.

919
00:39:35,958 --> 00:39:38,375
We're gonna figure this out, guys.

920
00:39:38,542 --> 00:39:40,333
- All right.
- All right.

921
00:39:40,500 --> 00:39:42,220
<i>This is the kind
of homework I like to have.</i>

922
00:39:42,375 --> 00:39:43,750
<i>All right, man.</i>

923
00:39:45,792 --> 00:39:48,167
<i>Every one of these
experiments that we perform,</i>

924
00:39:48,333 --> 00:39:50,917
<i>exploring the boundary of the bubble,</i>

925
00:39:51,083 --> 00:39:53,583
<i>is an attempt to determine
whether we're dealing with</i>

926
00:39:53,792 --> 00:39:56,125
<i>something that is just a digital artifact</i>

927
00:39:56,250 --> 00:39:58,000
or something that is physically real.

928
00:39:58,125 --> 00:39:59,750
And the more we see these results

929
00:39:59,875 --> 00:40:02,000
where, systems
are being interfered with,

930
00:40:02,208 --> 00:40:04,625
or strange things are happening
out on that periphery,

931
00:40:04,750 --> 00:40:06,583
<i>the more I think
some members of our team</i>

932
00:40:06,750 --> 00:40:08,268
<i>are becoming convinced that
we're dealing with something</i>

933
00:40:08,292 --> 00:40:09,958
<i>that is, in fact, physically real.</i>

934
00:40:10,125 --> 00:40:13,375
<i>Any time we can get
Sky Elements out here,</i>

935
00:40:13,542 --> 00:40:16,000
<i>it gives us hundreds of GPS sensors,</i>

936
00:40:16,167 --> 00:40:18,458
<i>hundreds of magnetometers</i>

937
00:40:18,625 --> 00:40:21,042
<i>and just so much data to go off of.</i>

938
00:40:21,208 --> 00:40:24,167
<i>Last night's experiment
yields us a lot of information</i>

939
00:40:24,375 --> 00:40:25,958
<i>to help us better understand</i>

940
00:40:26,125 --> 00:40:28,125
the nature of this bubble,

941
00:40:28,292 --> 00:40:29,652
and really, how it's affecting us.

942
00:40:29,708 --> 00:40:31,333
<i>It drives home the point</i>

943
00:40:31,500 --> 00:40:33,542
<i>that we need to do more experiments</i>

944
00:40:33,708 --> 00:40:35,750
<i>right along this bubble boundary.</i>

945
00:40:36,708 --> 00:40:38,417
<i>There has to be some sort</i>

946
00:40:38,583 --> 00:40:41,250
<i>of energetic force inside the bubble.</i>

947
00:40:41,375 --> 00:40:43,542
Something that isn't just physical

948
00:40:43,708 --> 00:40:45,708
but has the capability to interact

949
00:40:45,875 --> 00:40:48,917
and even interfere
with advanced technology.

950
00:40:49,042 --> 00:40:50,708
<i>And we're not giving up</i>

951
00:40:50,875 --> 00:40:54,958
<i>until we can say for sure
exactly what it is.</i>

952
00:40:58,458 --> 00:40:59,667
Be advised, the drilling

953
00:40:59,875 --> 00:41:01,167
has begun.

954
00:41:01,333 --> 00:41:02,750
We are picking up a signal.

955
00:41:02,917 --> 00:41:04,833
- Are you kidding?
- I am not kidding.

956
00:41:05,042 --> 00:41:06,518
- There it is. Right there.
- Right there.

957
00:41:06,542 --> 00:41:08,542
- This is not us.
- Wow!

958
00:41:08,708 --> 00:41:10,059
It looks like it's coming our way.

959
00:41:10,083 --> 00:41:12,042
<i>Yeah, it came backwards on us!</i>

960
00:41:12,208 --> 00:41:13,601
That's crazy. Did that just reverse

961
00:41:13,625 --> 00:41:15,042
when we hit the bubble wall?

962
00:41:15,208 --> 00:41:16,542
Out of nowhere,

963
00:41:16,750 --> 00:41:18,292
- we've got something...
- Yeah,

964
00:41:18,458 --> 00:41:20,218
that's got to be hundreds
of feet in the air.

965
00:41:20,292 --> 00:41:21,958
What in the world is that?
