Something's caused so much interference that

a $35,000 drone couldn't connect to his controls.

Means there's a transmitter here somewhere.

Where is this transmitter?

I get my biggest readings looking up.

It's coming from the sky.

The measurements lead us to a spot

one-mile high over the ranch. Start letting it go.

So, we can tether a weather balloon,

raise it up and see if we see something there.

So, what's disturbing is it has to come

from something off planet; it's not something

that humans have created on the face of the Earth.

This is homestead one.

- Hey there. - Come on in.

Two weeks ago, Tom and Kandus

reported strange noises coming from the basement.

I was able to punch a small hole through the wall...

- What is that? - ..and we discovered that there was

possibly a room there.

I don't know what the black stuff is.

It looks like there's been a fire in there.

- It does. - Well, yeah, it almost looks

- like a cremation. - It looks like ash.

Hey, hold on a minute.

What are those white pieces right there?

It looks a lot like bones.

Bones?

There is a ranch in Northern Utah.

It is considered the epicenter

of the strangest and most disturbing phenomena on Earth:

animal mutilations,

bizarre UFO sightings

and unusual energies that have proven harmful to humans.

For 20 years, the federal government

tried to find answers and failed.

Now a new team of dedicated scientists,

researchers and experts has taken over.

They are determined to solve the mystery and reveal...

...The Secret of Skinwalker Ranch.

Right there, perfect.

Don't-don't move. Just stop right there.

There's actually something on the concrete

that looks like bones.

Do you see that?

I mean, it could be remains, cremation remains.

That's what I'm thinking.

That's what it looks like.

What in the world?

Tom, see if you can lower it.

Thomas Winterton asked me to come with him

over to what they call Homestead One.

Homestead One is right next to the command center,

and it's where the two caretakers,

Kandus Linde and her boyfriend, Tom Lewis, live.

Keep going. You're right on top of it.

Kandus and Tom have been hearing a series

of strange noises coming from the basement,

where there's this room

completely walled off with concrete

several inches thick.

So, Thomas and I got this snake cam,

and we're putting this camera

down in there to see whatever this box was built for.

A little bit. Yeah, go that way. You're going the right way.

- Stop! Right there, stop! - Wait, the...

At about three feet in,

there was a pile, and it looked like ash,

and maybe it even looks like remnants of bones.

That's just downright spooky.

All the ash around that and the-the burnt.

It looks like there was a fire in there.

What in the world would...?

Yeah, that is weird.

Yeah, and with all the crazy things

that have happened in this house.

There are so many things about this house

that just don't add up.

- Yeah. - Yeah, yeah.

Yep.

We moved to the ranch about three months ago

to be caretakers.

And the house we live in is pretty spooky.

We've heard some strange things.

We've heard strange noises coming from the basement.

We've heard strange vibrations from the ground.

The sounds have mostly been at night.

There's been knock sounds in the house,

like the...

One time, it was coming from under the floor

in the kitchen, like from the basement.

It was the triple knock, and I was standing...

I could feel it, the vibration of it.

People that lived in the house before us,

the Shermans,

I have heard some strange things about their experience.

They had UFO sightings,

very strange light orbs,

cattle mutilations.

There's been so many strange things

that have happened here.

Well, the big question is

why the hell they built the thing to begin with.

- It makes no sense. - It makes no sense.

I've wondered

what the need was for such thick-- I mean, this is,

- this is almost two feet thick. - Yeah.

That tells you just how strong it is.

That's heavy-duty something.

So, it makes me wonder,

what are the purposes you build a concrete,

you know, rectangular box for?

- Yeah. - So, we need to

knock that hole out right there.

And then we can get in and see what's really in there.

Yeah, I think we ought to

just saw through that, open that up.

- Yeah. - All right.

Now, at first, seeing something

like tiny bones just makes me think

some kind of animal died, but how could anything

get inside a completely sealed-up concrete room?

And what explains the pile of what looks like ashes?

This wall was not coming down easy.

Whoever did this wanted to either seal something in

or keep something out.

One thing I have to say about Tom Winterton

is this guy is tough as nails.

I mean, even with all the health scares he's had

on the ranch, it doesn't stop him from jumping in

feet first and doing what it takes to get stuff done.

Normally, dealing with

this kind of stuff wouldn't seem unusual to me.

But the three weeks I've been up here,

I've seen everything from

strange glowing lights at night...

That's a definite beam.

It is clearly a beam going across there.

...to RF radiation spikes that are extreme.

It is going nuts.

It's coming from up there.

It seemed to be coming from high above the ranch

with no apparent scientific explanation.

We all still don't have a clue what we're dealing with here.

One of the weirdest things about this chamber

underneath Tom and Kandus's house,

it's perfectly clean inside this box.

There are no water lines,

there's no mold, there's no dirt on the floor.

There's nothing. It looks like it's brand-new.

And we found this pile in just a tiny spot.

How did those things get in there?

So, when you first looked through that hole,

I understand that we thought we were looking

at a pile, one pile in the,

basically in the middle of this...

- That's right. - Yes.

So the room was almost completely clean.

It was pristine.

- And sealed... - Yeah.

- ...for a long time, yeah. - So, what would've,

what would've organized it into a pile like that?

- I don't know. - It's a good question.

Yeah.

After we finally managed to poke a hole big enough

that we could crawl into this chamber

in the basement of Tom and Kandus's house...

You got a spoon? I'll scoop some out.

We got a Petri here.

...I used a dustpan

and some, plastic bags

to sweep up a sample of some of this material.

Now we can look at it under a microscope

and see what it is.

What the heck is all this stuff?

All right, so just kind of

scroll around, Erik, just...

Right about...

somewhere in there.

You're slightly out of focus.

Yeah.

Stop right there.

- Whoa. - What?

- Whoa. - Wow, look at that.

Do you think that's a tooth?

It's either a tooth or a rib.

's get Yeah, look at that.

That's a bone, man. That's clearly a bone.

So is this a bone right here, this...?

- Yeah, that's a bone. - And that is.

It's definitely hair, you know?

Yeah, that's hair. Yeah, right here.

- Can you push the... - I can.

Or can you translate the microscope? Whichever.

Stop right there.

- Those are bone fragments. - Well,

and it looks like gnaw marks, too.

- It's either a tooth or a rib. - This thing here?

- Yeah. - Yeah.

I don't know.

Hard to tell what kind of bone that is, I mean.

Move it around some more, Erik.

Okay, if you see anything you want to dive into,

- this is as low a magnification as we can... - Really?

Yeah, we can actually go much, much further in if you want.

Why don't we look at that black piece

- right there. - All right.

That right there.

Let's see what that is.

I wonder if that's, like, um,

flesh or skin.

- That's what it looks like. - Looks like

it's been in there a while, though, right?

- Yeah, for a long time. - Yeah.

- That's like a tomb. - Yeah.

Right? And the-the air's dry,

and so it could be desiccated and pretty much mummified.

I mean, that could have been there for years, and we...

and you wouldn't know it.

I mean, if it was recent, you would've

- smelled it. - Yeah.

Lots and lots of bone fragments.

The fact that it's fragmented is interesting

because what would have had to play out

in that cellar in order for these bones

to be crushed up like this?

- What in the world? - Talk about

- a crime scene. Yeah.

Somebody or something could have done this?

- It has to be a possibility. - Yeah,

- but that thing was sealed. - But how? But how?

- How would they get in? - How? Right?

Well, and that reddish stuff

looks wet still, like if it's...

- Blood. - Blood.

What does that look like to you, Erik?

Would it be reasonable

to interpret this as animal,

or could you interpret it as possibly being human?

You know what?

- I don't think so. - No.

I-I mean... - They're too small.

They're way too small to be anything in a human.

What's really strange about these bone fragments

is that there's not enough of them

to make a complete skeleton.

I mean, if some small animal

was able to crawl in and die in there,

why are there only bone fragments?

And why do they look like they've been burned?

And none of this explains why Tom and Kandus have been hearing

strange knocking sounds at night.

I say let's move forward. Let's keep moving.

Okay.

Another mystery to figure out.

Today's a pretty big day on the ranch.

We have a couple trucks bringing some cattle on,

probably around 40 head.

Cattle play quite a role

in the history of Skinwalker Ranch,

and with tales of UFOs and paranormal,

it does get a little bit spooky.

It's a known fact that there have been

numerous cattle mutilations on this property.

You know, daylight cattle mutilations

going back to the 1930s.

We're talking very surgically precise dissections

of these cattle.

They were drained of their blood,

and there was no blood to be found underneath them.

Shortly after Mr. Bigelow purchased the property,

they installed observation towers and bait pens.

They are quite ominous-lookin.

There are three that span the entire property.

These towers and the enclosures around them

with razor wire were really installed

for the purpose of using livestock as biosensors.

With UFO activity over the property coupled with

constant cattle mutilations,

they felt there would be an environment

that would exist that would allow them to, I think,

more closely capture the phenomena at work.

Most of what Mr. Bigelow and his team

studied and reported on the ranch remains

either classified or confidential

and is locked away.

- Hey, Kelly. - How are you, Mr. Tom?

- Good to see you. - Good to see you today.

Looks like you got a couple trailers?

Yes, sir.

If you can take and swing around the pole...

- Okay. - ...and then back straight in,

does that look like it would work for you?

- We'll make her work. - Okay.

You know, each cow we bring on is another

biosensor that we can use for science purposes.

Animals seem to have that sixth sense to them,

and when we observe an anomaly here on the ranch,

we can monitor their behavior patterns

before and after that occurre.

Okay, so, back up a little bit.

We'll be able to see exactly where they are,

if there's any strange behaviors in the cattle,

and see if they react any differently to the land.

But also we're keeping a close eye on things

because there has been cattle mutilations.

Got it.

I think that'll work.

- Yeah, I think... - You ready to let 'em go?

I think that'll be perfect.

Kelly, this is, Tom and Kandus.

- Kandus. - Kandus. - Tom.

- Tom. - So, Tom and Kandus

are actually the ones that live here on-site,

and, they're kind of our eyes and ears.

I've known Tom Lewis and Kandus Linde

for most of my life. We grew up together.

Kandus went on to become a very accomplished

and published anthropologist,

and Tom is a recognized technologist

that works with a number of large companies.

So, this summer we're gonna have Tom and Kandus

helping monitor

the behavior of the cows, which is gonna be nice.

They're here on the ranch,

and they're gonna be able to keep much closer track

on exactly what these cattle are doing.

- Get them out? - Yeah, you know what?

Let's take these first 15,

and we'll put them back in this back corral.

And then, that way we can get 'em

in the squeeze chute and get the trackers on 'em.

And then we'll just run the rest of 'em straight on through.

- You got it. - So...

One of you guys want to make sure the gate's open

- in that far back corral? - You got it.

Before I came to the ranch,

I had done some research on the place.

Heard some very strange storis

about cattle being shoved inside this trailer

back when the Shermans lived here.

The Sherman family

were ranchers who lived on the ranch.

They were out in the area

where the cattle were corralled.

They walked away.

And minutes later, they retur.

The cattle were nowhere to be found.

After a search, they found thm

inside a trailer, penned up,

standing perfectly still,

nonresponsive,

catatonic.

Okay. So we're good to go ahead and let 'em...

- Let 'em roll. - Let 'em go.

Come on, sis.

Yeah. Get on.

- Come on, girls. - Come on.

Come on.

If the history of this property

is any guide, I'm very interested

to see how these cattle will behave on this ranch

and, more importantly,

how this ranch will behave with these cattle here.

Okay.

Good job.

William, come on. Come on, William.

SEGA Think we're all good. rted We just need rockets. .

It's gonna be interesting.

- Gonna be awesome. - Last week,

after we determined

that some kind of intense RF radiation

is coming from about a mile above the ranch...

All right. You guys ready?

- Yep, we're good. - Yeah, good to go.

...the team and I devised an experiment

where we sent up a weather balloon

outfitted with a TriField meter and a GPS tracker

to try and identify the source.

That is perfect.

I say we pack up and go back and try

and track it on the Internet.

But suddenly,

just when it reached the target area,

- the balloon stopped transmitting data. - Wow.

The whole thing just seemed to disappear.

- Hey, fellas. - Did you bring us our rockets?

Yes, we did.

So, now we're gonna try and repeat

the experiment, but this time using rockets.

Guys, I want y'all to meet Miss Kaitlin Russell.

So, she's a rocket builder extraordinaire,

so I got her to help us out.

- Well, welcome to Skinwalker Ranch. - Thanks.

Kaitlin is one of the interns who works with me

at the University of Alabama in Huntsville.

She's been studying aerospace engineering

and rocketry, so I thought she'd be helpful

working with us on this experiment.

So, I'm really fascinated to see what you guys are using

and how we're fitting this stuff inside.

- That's gonna be cool. - Yeah.

So I'm thinking we're gonna have

an SDR in one,

maybe the spectrum analyzer,

maybe a gamma ray detector.

- That sound good to y'all? - I love rockets.

- Yeah. - Let's do it.

All right, well, let's unload this stuff

- and get it over there. - Okay. Go.

Just grab something, and-- here--

we'll bucket brigade it.

You know, take that.

Why don't you go ahead and lay out the motors.

Jim said he's gonna want to use my phone for something.

Hey, guys?

All the cows just happened to come and look.

Is that the craziest thing?

They wanted to see the rocket launch, too.

Explain to me how you've got this

- set up. - So, we have

spectrum analyzers, which read electromagnetic energy

and reports it back in what we call a spectrum.

And the way it works is that you hook up a phone to it,

you run a special app,

you put it in the nose cone and pray that it comes back,

- and you take that reading. - Cool.

The data on the spectrum analyzer

will be recorded directly into a cell phone.

And if our earlier data's correct,

it'll show that the higher the rocket travels,

the more intense

the RF radiation levels will become.

Right there.

- You ready to go? Let's do it. - We're ready to go.

Look at that wind sock and see if it's changed any.

It's coming from the south.

Give this a little more angle.

When I first came here to Skinwalker Ranch, I found

that some of the members of the team had been

so spooked by all the strange things going on here,

they were really reluctant to do any experiments

that might trigger some kind of negative energy.

I have to say no digging.

My-my grandmother used to always say

a hornets' nest isn't interesting

until you poke it with a stick.

- Right? - Okay, well,

what kind of hornets were you dealing with?

All right, we're hot here.

But now, given all the information

we've been gathering lately,

they're not only willing to poke the hornets' nest.

They're eager to do it.

So, we are ready to launch.

Inserting the safety key.

It's good.

So, let's do a launch

in three, two,

one, ignition.

- Yeah! - Holy smokes!

There it goes!

Here we go.

Watch your head!

Watch your noggin!

This rocket hasn't gone as high as it was supposed to.

And so it didn't reach a point where the chute could pop.

That's what you call a missile.

- I'll go get it. - All right.

Radios on!

It's gonna land in the canal.

You got eyes on it, Tom?

It's...

over here a ways.

Hey, Dragon, Tom,

you guys find it yet?

There she is.

Yep, we're almost to it.

That's destroyed.

Hey, Travis,

we're certainly not taking this rocket up again.

Man.

Our first test was a complete bust.

This thing is hosed.

The spectrum analyzer's all banged up,

and the on/off switch is missing. It's had it.

Did we record, though? I want to see if...

Well, that'd be great if we got some data.

I sure hope the spectrum analyzer

got enough data to the phone before it hit the ground,

and maybe we can get some data off of it.

Let's get the next rocket going,

and we'll launch it.

Hey, rockets fail.

That's why we have more of 'e.

So we just have to do another test.

That's how it works.

Erik, you're up.

We're gonna do your instrument next.

This is a gamma ray detector,

and we've outfitted it to be as light as it can be

and as small as it can be.

For our second launch,

we decided to go forward

with Erik's idea to test not only for RF radiation

but also for gamma rays.

After RF, there's infrared,

visible, ultraviolet,

and, finally, gamma rays.

Now, gamma radiation is very dangerous to humans,

so if the test comes back positive,

it could mean we're all in real danger

just being out here on Skinwalker Ranch.

So, if we have gamma rays detected during flight,

it'll show up in a sound recording.

So, what would it sound like?

Sounds just like a Geiger counter.

- Exactly. - But we'll be able to get the waveform.

So we can analyze it and see if we can find out what...

If it changes with altitude or whatever, right?

I'm really interested in comparing

the readings that we get down here at ground level

with those that we get at altitude to see if, in fact,

we are getting gamma rays.

If they're coming from altitude,

the amount should increase the higher we get.

- But if they're coming from the ground... - If they're coming

from the ground, it'll decrease. This will tell us something.

- Right? - That's right. Sure.

- All right. Let's go. - All right.

Yeah, this is a very fragile setup.

So we need to really protect it.

We are about ready to go launch another one, folks.

Look at the cows.

That is the strangest thing.

Just before we started to fire the rockets,

the cows are acting very strangely.

They were running across the field,

grouping together, fighting.

That's crazy.

Here they've crammed themselves

into the northeast corner of the ranch.

They couldn't possibly get any closer to one another.

And they're behaving

as if they've been agitated by something.

Never seen that before.

- Look, look, look, look! - What is that?

- What is that? - TRAVIS: We got-- we got something. Hold on.

It's a plane, I think.

- It's gone. - Nah, that wasn't a plane.

We'd still see it

- if it was a plane. - What the hell was that?

Was that not crazy?

I don't know what that was,

but it wasn't an airplane,

and it wasn't something that would be easily explained away.

It was this really, really bright translucent ball.

And then it just-- shoop-- just disappeared

into a single point, like it vanished off

into the sky or something.

- What was that? - It was a bright...

- What time is it? - Kaitlin, did you see that?

The guys want to stand around and keep looking for these UFOs

popping up in the sky, but I'm telling 'em,

"Look, if it's happening now, we need to get the instruments

in the sky so we can really measure what's going on."

All right, well, let's launch and see what happens.

Three, two,

one, ignition.

- Yeah! - Holy smokes.

- Man. - - One, two, three,

four, five.

- Perfect. - Good chute!

- Yes! - Yeah! -

Man, we may have real data

while we saw a UFO.

This is our hero rocket right here.

- Awesome. - All the time I've spent

on this ranch, I've never really seen anything.

But right now

I, I actually saw

what I would consider a UFO.

It's right on the other side of the bush, I think.

Right there!

Tom found it!

For years, I've heard hundreds of stories

about UFO sightings at Skinwalker Ranch,

but-- I have to admit-- I thought they were

all just products of someone's overactive imagination.

I never thought I'd actually see one in person.

We saw a UFO.

Dude, that was incredible.

- Did you see it? - I did.

Well, what do you make out of it?

It wasn't an airplane, or we'd've still been seeing it.

Well, there was no contrail.

No sound.

I'm hopeful that we can evaluate it

frame by frame and perhaps understand better

whether it's something of mundane origin

or something very different.

Guys,

we may have just got some real data

while we saw a UFO.

Is that not crazy?

Seriously, this is all fine and dandy,

but I'm still dumbfounded

that, looking up in the sky,

I see this thing.

It turns, it glints in the sunlight

and then, basically, without going anywhere,

just vaporizes into nothing.

Who knows? We may have caused that.

We may have caused whatever to react and show itself.

Well, you know what, too?

I think everybody tells us don't dig

because something bad's gonna happen.

Well, who's been poking the hole up in the air?

- Yep, we're digging up. - Maybe it causes the same...

- phenomenon. - Stick.

Hornets' nest.

Hey, if that's your stick, feel free.

We just saw a UFO, dude.

Well, look at the cows.

They're all crammed in the corner

as far away from that area where that thing was

as they can possibly get.

And their behavior this entire afternoon is very abnormal.

Now I'm starting to wonder--

did our rocket experiments simply get our eyes

looking upwards so that we saw the UFO by coincidence?

Or did the rocket actually do something

to cause the UFO to become more visible?

If so, maybe we can get the UFO to show itself again.

Know what I say we do?

Launch another rocket.

I would say put it back up,

just as it is. It records for 300 hours.

It's still recording?

300 hours, it'll record for.

Well, let's just put another motor in, repack it,

- and launch it again. - Absolutely.

Hey, it's back.

Whoa, whoa, whoa.

- I don't see it. - What the hell is it?

Where is it?

Right there.

That might be a jet.

- There it is again. - There it is again! There it is again!

- It's in the same spot. - It's still in the same spot.

It's still in the same spot!

- Wow. - Right there.

- Yeah. - Right there. - There you go.

Is that another plane flying to the side?

It's like it's tracing it or tracking it.

Now it's kind of veering off of it a little.

- Look at that, look at that! - My gosh! -

What is that?

This one phenomena--

whatever you want to call it--

looks like it's following a commercial airliner.

- I'm gonna go inside and look. - It's fading out. - Yeah.

- It's fading out. It's gone. - All right.

What the heck?

As quickly as I could get into the control room,

I looked at the flight transponder data

for all nearby aircraft, and I wasn't able to identify

a particular aircraft with the bright objects

that we see off to the west.

- There's no other traffic there. - There's no other traffic?

There's no object on the radar

showing up next to that plane.

Did we just have two UFO sightings

in a period of ten minutes?

It was in approximately the same part

of the sky as the first time.

There's absolutely no cloud cover to block anything.

There's nothing in the way.

So, to go in and out is,

- like, why would it do that? - Yeah, that--

In the same spot. I mean, if it's flying,

it's got to be moving.

- We're gonna need this. - Fine.

You got the ignitor. We're good to go.

- Yeah. - Does anybody feel any queasiness

or anything like that?

Are you feeling queasy?

Almost like motion sick, a little bit.

What does that thing say?

Wait, what is that? Heart rate's high.

Your blood pressure's a little bit elevated, dude.

Yeah, you're-you're--

You got so much adrenaline and stuff going through your body,

probably, but your heart rate

and your blood pressure's a little bit high.

It's not hot out. You haven't really traveled that much

or climbed that much, so I think whatever you're feeling,

it's-- you don't normally feel this way.

It's very possible that something induced that,

which could be a function of what we just saw.

Really curious if something shows up. - You okay? - Yeah, I'm okay.

- I just... I'm okay. - All right, well, let's do this.

Let's get out there and launch this rocket

before the phenomena goes away.

- Okay, sorry about that. - No, no, no, no.

No, don't apologize. Let's just do... let's just go.

I'm glad you spoke up.

A couple of weeks ago,

I experienced the same queasy feelings that Dragon just had.

Tom Winterton's been hospitalized twice

due to something that causes his scalp to literally swell up

and separate from his skull.

What kind of energy can cause this?

I mean, we're really playing with fire here.

Three,

two, one. Ignition!

- That's beautiful! - Come on, baby.

As long as we're here and all set up,

I want to get this experiment launched one more time.

This way, we can monitor if there are consistencies

in the data we're collecting, or if there are anomalies.

So far, all the data has been pretty consistent.

Some kind of intense RF radiation is coming at us

from somewhere high above the ranch.

- Boom! - Yeah!

Good chute!

Awesome, right?

I can't wait to get in and let's start looking at the data.

I know what I saw today.

And I would love to see it, if we have it on camera.

Did you...? Let's look at the surveillance footage and see

- if there's something in it. - Sure.

This camera is in

the east field, basically to the southwest.

Okay.

What we saw should appear,

if it was recorded, in this part of the sky.

Well, if we're gonna see it,

this is a great angle.

Based on my recollection,

it was no higher than that in the sky.

I'm really curious if something shows up before...

Over here. Over here.

Right there.

- You guys see that up there? - Yup, yup, yup, yup.

- Yup. - If we can zoom in...

Well, I mean, it's right there.

This doesn't do it justice, though,

- because it was... - Well...

It seemed like it was so brilliant in the sky.

- Yeah. - Yup.

- Let it play real time. - Play real time.

- There it is. - There it is.

One, two, three, four, five,

- six, seven, eight, nine. - Yup.

- Ten. Ten seconds. - That's it.

The speeds that it was traveling

to get from point to point for ten seconds--

this thing could have gone all the way across our screen,

- but it didn't. It stayed still. - Yup.

I'm still blown away

by the fact that Erik, you were able to have

camera footage of it. That way, I know for a fact I wasn't

- just imagining it. - You got to see a UFO, dude.

Like, dumbfounded. Yeah, it's crazy.

We had some things that we have yet to interpret.

Well, we've got to see this data.

- Yeah, so... - ERIK: We ready? - Yeah, let's move on.

So, to begin with, we're looking at the Geiger counter data.

We're looking at gamma hits.

- Here? - Yeah.

Each of these vertical lines-- gamma hit.

What we see before launch can be compared

to what we see during the flight,

and then again, to what we see on the ground.

So, I would ask you. What do you see?

It looks very concentrated right here.

At the apogee, this thing was screaming.

Holy cow!

What it means is there was

an immense amount of energy for some reason

that was suddenly on and then suddenly off.

- Yeah. - And then, when we got up

to about 1,000 feet, we measured

an increase in the electromagnetic radiation

that was there.

We measured an increase in the gamma rays that were there.

But I want to point out that this is at altitude,

at 1,000 feet up in the air,

which says that as you increase altitude,

you get much more energy than we have down here.

- Yup. - Just to be clear,

normally, anywhere else in the world,

if you increase in altitude, you should see a decrease.

That's right.

So, that does suggest there are more gammas at altitude.

Right, it implies something

about the location of the source.

We got closer to a gamma ray source

as we flew into the sky.

- Yeah. - So, there is

a concentration of energy above the ranch.

And I want to just

point out that a lot of these readings took place

when we started to see the strange objects in the sky.

Wow.

At a high enough concentratio,

gamma radiation can be deadly.

But where is it coming from?

And could it be connected in some way

to this UFO we just saw?

Do y'all realize what we are looking at here?

Not only do we see the event with our eyes.

We catch it on video, the cows apparently felt something.

- Yes. - 'Cause they moved.

And we have scientific instruments corroborating

that there is an anomaly in energy at the same time.

I don't believe in UFOs, period,

but we were all there, and our eyes saw this.

Yeah, that's the thing, yes.

We all saw this with the other instruments.

- That's right. - Every little men-in-black thing

you can come up with to explain it away, just...

It just... is vanishing.

I mean, this is like a breakthrough, guys.

That is very important data right there.

I know that every time we get exceptional footage like this,

Brandon wants to see it immediately.

- I'm sending it off now. - Yeah, do that,

and then, let's give him a shout,

see what he has to say.

Dragon.

- Hey, Mr. Fugal. - How are things going?

Erik just sent you some files, Brandon.

You should see if you can get 'em and open 'em up.

- All right. - Watch in the upper

right-hand corner of the video closely.

This is the second of the

unidentified object sightings that we saw today.

All five of us, without a doubt, saw the same thing.

We also measured simultaneous anomalies.

We measured gamma rays.

We measured, anomalies in the RF and microwave spectrum.

- Cows. - And-and all the cows--

that's right-- ran from one side of the field

and got as far east as they could get.

No, it's not following, orbital motion at all.

Well, the fact of the matter that

all five of us, looking out, and we see this object.

It appeared to move a little bit,

and then get either larger or just more vibrant,

and it stayed there for a moment,

and then basically dissipated and disappeared into nothing.

Shortly thereafter,

I started to get nauseous, almost like I was motion sick.

You know, I don't know if I was maybe affected

by some of the energy that was in the area

that we picked up on the other instruments.

You know, I appreciate you asking that question.

I actually feel really good.

I'm profoundly just shaken by the whole experience

because I don't even know what to do to make sense of it.

Growing up, I never saw a ghost.

I really never had a paranormal or supernatural experience.

It wasn't until being involved with the ranch

that I had my first experience that I could not deny.

It was a couple of years ago,

right above the mesa.

We saw in broad daylight

what could only be described as a UFO.

40, 50-foot-long,

silver or grayish disc-like craft

that moved in the blink of an eye

from one position to the other.

And then, within 20 seconds, was completely gone.

None of us were expecting it.

The fact that the entire team saw this

and have camera surveillance footage-- this changes

our investigation at Skinwalker Ranch.

- All right, thank you. - Good evening.

- Thanks, Brandon. - Thanks, Brandon.

I am emotionally and physically

- just wiped out. - Yeah.

I'm so excited, but I'm also exhausted.

Stories out there claim

that when Robert Bigelow owned the ranch,

one of the more incredible theories that they considered

was that all of the strange phenomena

that happened here was the result of some kind

of interdimensional or trans-dimensional portal

that exists somewhere on the property.

Now, I'm pretty skeptical about most things.

But after today, I'm beginning to wonder.

I mean, could we have just

all seen firsthand physical evidence

that something like that could really be true?

- You guys get out of here. Go get some rest. - Great work.

I'm so excited about this.

There's so much activity

going on at this exact moment of seeing this UFO.

It really makes me think that there is something

associated with this craft

and the things that we're seeing here on the ground.

After years of seeing nothing,

in a matter of minutes, I've seen two UFOs that

are undeniable and seen by many witnesses.

- What the hell is it? - This is insane.

- Yeah. - It's right where the sky transitions.

This is the first time that

we visually saw a UFO,

and at the same time, on our instruments,

recorded the effects of the UFO.

Now I'm at the point where I'm saying,

"This is more than just

some anomalous activity."

This is something that's happening

that's much, much bigger.

Are we alone?

Do we live in a multidimensional universe?

Are we being visited, or are we being interacted with?

Skinwalker Ranch, I believe, is an incredible

living laboratory or place

where some of these questions may be answered,

or at least better understood.

- My phone's freaking out. - It's as if someone was

pushing the buttons and switching between applications.

There is a bunch of energy,

and the source could be under Skinwalker Ranch.

We need to do ground-penetrating radar

to see what's down there.

So, this is a big anomaly here.

This looks like a two-story facility.

I'd like to know what's in this thing.

- Don't lift it up. - I had burn spots

coming up on my skin.

We were just exposed to ionizing radiation.
