Would you like to inspect the original subtitles? These are the user uploaded subtitles that are being translated:
1
00:00:02,544 --> 00:00:03,896
I'd like to get
to the bottom of whether
2
00:00:03,920 --> 00:00:06,254
there really is a cave system
beneath this ranch.
3
00:00:06,339 --> 00:00:07,817
This is the hole
you was talking about?
4
00:00:07,841 --> 00:00:09,151
Yeah. We're gonna fill it
with water
5
00:00:09,176 --> 00:00:10,759
and put some dye in it.
6
00:00:10,845 --> 00:00:12,321
- It's draining quickly.
- You guys need to get out there
7
00:00:12,346 --> 00:00:14,304
and start looking
for this stuff.
8
00:00:14,390 --> 00:00:16,097
I don't see any green water.
9
00:00:16,182 --> 00:00:19,100
We saw 45,000 gallons
of water disappear.
10
00:00:19,185 --> 00:00:21,039
It must be going
somewhere rapidly.
11
00:00:21,062 --> 00:00:22,082
Yeah, I think that
it's time that we need
12
00:00:22,106 --> 00:00:23,439
to get below the ground.
13
00:00:23,524 --> 00:00:25,774
Every time that someone
14
00:00:25,859 --> 00:00:28,443
does a major digging
on this property,
15
00:00:28,528 --> 00:00:30,320
then bad things happen.
16
00:00:30,405 --> 00:00:32,740
You guys should take a look
at kaleb's phone.
17
00:00:32,825 --> 00:00:33,884
I don't have
any control over it.
18
00:00:33,908 --> 00:00:35,709
It just goes
right past my passcode.
19
00:00:35,744 --> 00:00:37,661
Something here
is crying out for help.
20
00:00:37,746 --> 00:00:39,287
Or is it giving us a warning?
21
00:00:39,372 --> 00:00:41,331
A little more than eight hours
22
00:00:41,417 --> 00:00:44,542
after digging down at the pit,
this rectangular-shaped object
23
00:00:44,628 --> 00:00:46,420
instantly vanished.
24
00:00:46,505 --> 00:00:50,798
It was right there. Something
yellow and goldish color.
25
00:00:50,884 --> 00:00:53,051
That scared the out of me.
26
00:00:53,137 --> 00:00:56,847
There is a ranch
in northern utah.
27
00:00:56,932 --> 00:00:59,600
It is considered the epicenter
28
00:00:59,685 --> 00:01:04,313
of the strangest and most
disturbing phenomena on earth:
29
00:01:04,397 --> 00:01:06,774
Animal mutilations,
30
00:01:06,858 --> 00:01:08,942
bizarre ufo sightings
31
00:01:09,028 --> 00:01:14,281
and unusual energies that have
proven harmful to humans.
32
00:01:14,365 --> 00:01:16,700
For 20 years,
the federal government
33
00:01:16,786 --> 00:01:20,037
tried to find answers
and failed.
34
00:01:20,121 --> 00:01:24,290
Now a new team
of dedicated scientists,
35
00:01:24,376 --> 00:01:28,087
researchers and experts
has taken over.
36
00:01:28,171 --> 00:01:32,007
They are determined to solve
the mystery and reveal...
37
00:01:34,719 --> 00:01:37,846
The secret of skinwalker ranch.
38
00:01:48,651 --> 00:01:50,901
Hey, dragon. What's going on?
39
00:01:50,985 --> 00:01:53,194
We had some crazy stuff go down
40
00:01:53,280 --> 00:01:55,200
that we all want
to share with you.
41
00:01:55,281 --> 00:01:57,573
Hey, brandon.
It's travis, and, kaleb
42
00:01:57,659 --> 00:01:59,304
and the other guys j...
Are just gonna jump in
43
00:01:59,328 --> 00:02:00,953
as we go through the story.
44
00:02:00,995 --> 00:02:02,829
But just after dark,
45
00:02:02,915 --> 00:02:05,540
kaleb actually heard something
in the bushes.-
46
00:02:05,626 --> 00:02:07,584
Like, very near to us,
47
00:02:07,670 --> 00:02:10,253
and it startled him enough
that he jumped up.
48
00:02:10,338 --> 00:02:12,881
- Kaleb you want to...?
- I drew my pistol out
49
00:02:12,967 --> 00:02:14,967
and I turned on...
The flashlight on,
50
00:02:15,009 --> 00:02:16,987
and I started looking...
Going in the direction
51
00:02:17,012 --> 00:02:19,596
of where I was hearing this,
and it was behind
52
00:02:19,681 --> 00:02:22,765
that old trailer
and the-the canal bank there.
53
00:02:22,852 --> 00:02:25,894
Right as we got even
with the trailer,
54
00:02:25,979 --> 00:02:30,149
there was something
that was rectangular-shaped,
55
00:02:30,192 --> 00:02:32,442
and it was shimmering
yellowish-orange,
56
00:02:32,527 --> 00:02:34,131
and when kaleb shined
his light on it,
57
00:02:34,155 --> 00:02:35,820
it instantly vanished.
58
00:02:37,866 --> 00:02:39,844
It didn't run off
through the weeds,
59
00:02:39,868 --> 00:02:42,451
it didn't fly off,
it didn't go through the ground,
60
00:02:42,538 --> 00:02:44,329
it didn't get in the creek.
61
00:02:44,414 --> 00:02:46,183
It just, I mean, just...
Suddenly it was there
62
00:02:46,207 --> 00:02:47,665
and suddenly it wasn't.
63
00:02:51,004 --> 00:02:52,086
Yeah.
64
00:02:52,173 --> 00:02:54,131
There was this unmistakable
65
00:02:54,216 --> 00:02:57,091
rectangular-shaped object
66
00:02:57,177 --> 00:02:59,218
that was...
May have been about two
67
00:02:59,305 --> 00:03:00,949
to two and a half feet
in length,
68
00:03:00,973 --> 00:03:03,431
and maybe a foot or so
in height.
69
00:03:03,516 --> 00:03:08,812
And as kaleb brings his pistol
fully on the target,
70
00:03:08,897 --> 00:03:10,980
it's like the light
comes back at us
71
00:03:11,066 --> 00:03:12,524
like it was off of a mirror.
72
00:03:12,568 --> 00:03:15,026
And then the thing
instantly vanished.
73
00:03:15,069 --> 00:03:18,280
I find it interesting
that an object could be
74
00:03:18,365 --> 00:03:19,907
that close, right inside,
75
00:03:19,991 --> 00:03:22,116
close here
to the command center,
76
00:03:22,203 --> 00:03:26,496
where we've got so many cameras,
and we didn't pick anything up.
77
00:03:29,919 --> 00:03:31,543
It was scary as hell.
78
00:03:31,586 --> 00:03:34,295
And while we were walking
back to the command center,
79
00:03:34,381 --> 00:03:36,506
I say, "okay, guys,
I'm going to go ahead
80
00:03:36,591 --> 00:03:39,050
and turn my video off."
within seconds
81
00:03:39,135 --> 00:03:41,844
of me saying that,
something flies across the sky
82
00:03:41,930 --> 00:03:44,473
the southern...
Looking due south,
83
00:03:44,557 --> 00:03:46,682
over the command center porch.
84
00:03:46,769 --> 00:03:49,436
And something flies across
the sky, and I'm like,
85
00:03:49,521 --> 00:03:51,562
"my god,
did y'all see that?"
86
00:03:56,903 --> 00:03:58,819
Yeah, we,
87
00:03:58,906 --> 00:04:01,573
looking-looking to the south,
88
00:04:01,616 --> 00:04:05,618
from the east field,
we caught several frames
89
00:04:05,704 --> 00:04:08,538
of this thing
streaking across the sky.
90
00:04:10,334 --> 00:04:11,667
At first glance you might think
91
00:04:11,752 --> 00:04:14,877
it's a-a meteorite
or a shooting star.
92
00:04:14,963 --> 00:04:16,463
Erik and I looked at it closely,
93
00:04:16,548 --> 00:04:18,108
and it kind of has
a different trajectory.
94
00:04:18,132 --> 00:04:20,925
It's going more...
Almost perfectly horizontal,
95
00:04:21,011 --> 00:04:24,221
as opposed to coming down
like a meteorite does
96
00:04:24,305 --> 00:04:26,242
when it's, when it's on
a trajectory impact course
97
00:04:26,266 --> 00:04:27,766
with the earth.
98
00:04:27,810 --> 00:04:31,937
Maybe that's a telltale sign
that it's not a meteorite.
99
00:04:34,608 --> 00:04:36,149
Sure.
100
00:04:36,235 --> 00:04:39,735
Well, I would say
that we need to emphasize
101
00:04:39,822 --> 00:04:42,488
on finding out
a way to get more data
102
00:04:42,574 --> 00:04:45,074
on whatever this terrestrial
ground phenomena was,
103
00:04:45,159 --> 00:04:46,409
that we saw.
104
00:04:46,495 --> 00:04:49,413
If it's a thing in a suit,
we need to know that.
105
00:04:49,497 --> 00:04:51,372
If it's a,
some mother nature phenomenon,
106
00:04:51,457 --> 00:04:52,665
we need to know that.
107
00:04:52,750 --> 00:04:55,627
So, it could have been something
that was humanoid,
108
00:04:55,713 --> 00:04:57,832
but we didn't see any arms,
legs, head, nothing.
109
00:04:57,880 --> 00:04:59,505
All we saw was a rectangular,
110
00:04:59,591 --> 00:05:02,634
shimmering
yellow-orange-ish phenomenon.
111
00:05:02,677 --> 00:05:04,552
All we can say is
112
00:05:04,637 --> 00:05:07,639
we felt in fear.
113
00:05:07,725 --> 00:05:09,932
We felt threatened,
we felt we were in danger,
114
00:05:10,019 --> 00:05:11,899
and that's what we got
to think about.
115
00:05:37,920 --> 00:05:41,005
I think we've always suspected
116
00:05:41,091 --> 00:05:42,966
that we're being monitored.
117
00:05:43,052 --> 00:05:47,346
You know, happening upon
strange objects and phenomena
118
00:05:47,389 --> 00:05:49,326
really speaks to the fact
that we're not alone
119
00:05:49,350 --> 00:05:51,098
on this ranch.
120
00:06:03,072 --> 00:06:04,821
- Ok, we'll do it.
- All right.
121
00:06:10,870 --> 00:06:13,110
All right, thanks, brandon.
We'll talk to you soon.
122
00:06:23,925 --> 00:06:26,843
Yeah, so, I'm anxious
to get you to meet travis.
123
00:06:26,928 --> 00:06:29,471
I know that we're glad that
you'd be willing to come out
124
00:06:29,555 --> 00:06:31,785
and show us some of the stuff
you found because, as you know,
125
00:06:31,809 --> 00:06:33,641
it's a vast piece of property,
126
00:06:33,726 --> 00:06:35,288
and trying to cover
all that area
127
00:06:35,312 --> 00:06:36,685
can be a little bit daunting.
128
00:06:36,771 --> 00:06:38,605
Glad to contribute to the team,
129
00:06:38,689 --> 00:06:40,649
and really excited
to meet travis.
130
00:06:40,733 --> 00:06:44,360
I thought it was important
that we bring in ryan skinner,
131
00:06:44,446 --> 00:06:46,904
who has spent years researching
132
00:06:46,949 --> 00:06:49,240
not only the landscape
of skinwalker ranch
133
00:06:49,283 --> 00:06:50,826
but the surrounding area.
134
00:06:50,869 --> 00:06:55,663
And he's documented in great
detail aspects of the property.
135
00:06:55,749 --> 00:06:58,040
As a result
of exploring out here
136
00:06:58,084 --> 00:07:02,170
was I became very familiar
with these mesas and hillsides.
137
00:07:02,255 --> 00:07:05,423
I'd have to say the strangest
event that occurred to me was
138
00:07:05,509 --> 00:07:08,718
I was out on the ranch,
a ball of light came up
139
00:07:08,762 --> 00:07:10,470
over one of these hillsides
140
00:07:10,555 --> 00:07:12,805
and started coming
directly towards me.
141
00:07:12,891 --> 00:07:15,850
And immediately,
a feeling of terror
142
00:07:15,935 --> 00:07:18,519
unlike anything I've ever
felt in my life before.
143
00:07:18,605 --> 00:07:21,105
I dropped everything I had,
my expensive camera,
144
00:07:21,190 --> 00:07:24,608
all of my equipment, and started
running back to the camp,
145
00:07:24,694 --> 00:07:26,548
and this thing
is now trailing me.
146
00:07:26,572 --> 00:07:28,779
It was real,
so I couldn't deny, I couldn't...
147
00:07:28,865 --> 00:07:30,218
No matter how many times
I went back in my head,
148
00:07:30,242 --> 00:07:32,951
I couldn't rationalize it away.
It really did happen.
149
00:07:33,036 --> 00:07:35,579
I hope to give any kind
of help and input I can,
150
00:07:35,663 --> 00:07:38,747
and I want to help solve
this mystery with the team.
151
00:07:40,043 --> 00:07:41,709
- I think I know you two.
- Ryan.
152
00:07:41,795 --> 00:07:43,170
- Hey, ryan.
- Hey.
153
00:07:43,213 --> 00:07:44,731
- Good to see you again.
- Tom, nice seeing you again.
154
00:07:44,755 --> 00:07:46,108
- Good to see you again.
- Erik, what's going on man?
155
00:07:46,132 --> 00:07:48,444
- Hey, man. Travis taylor.
- Travis, nice to meet you.
156
00:07:48,468 --> 00:07:50,487
- Nice to meet you.
- What's up, guys?
- What's up, dragon?
157
00:07:50,512 --> 00:07:52,262
So, ryan what are you
gonna show us?
158
00:07:52,346 --> 00:07:55,055
I came across this, location.
159
00:07:55,141 --> 00:07:57,057
It's up here on the mesa.
160
00:07:57,144 --> 00:08:00,478
It might give us some direction
as to what's behind all this.
161
00:08:00,521 --> 00:08:02,855
- Okay.
- Well,
let's grab the utv
162
00:08:02,940 --> 00:08:05,317
- and let's head up.
- Okay. Sounds good.
163
00:08:10,365 --> 00:08:14,033
To me what's exciting
is the location of it.
164
00:08:14,119 --> 00:08:15,410
You know, it just stood out,
165
00:08:15,495 --> 00:08:17,432
and maybe it's gonna
jump out to you guys as well.
166
00:08:17,456 --> 00:08:19,456
You see that big large rock
over there?
167
00:08:19,540 --> 00:08:23,084
- That's where we're gonna
aim for.
- Okay.
168
00:08:26,255 --> 00:08:28,964
So, it's on which ridge?
169
00:08:29,050 --> 00:08:31,425
To the left of this big rock.
170
00:08:31,512 --> 00:08:33,197
Right there, there's kind of
those white...
171
00:08:33,221 --> 00:08:35,325
- Shapes.
- You... the little
squiggle lines and stuff?
172
00:08:35,349 --> 00:08:37,243
- Is that what
you're talking about?
- Right. Yep.
173
00:08:37,267 --> 00:08:39,017
I came out here a few years ago
174
00:08:39,061 --> 00:08:41,269
and we did come across
a pictograph
175
00:08:41,355 --> 00:08:43,187
that I couldn't interpret.
176
00:08:43,273 --> 00:08:45,375
I have no idea what it meant,
but it really stood out
177
00:08:45,399 --> 00:08:47,107
compared to the other rocks.
178
00:08:47,193 --> 00:08:49,152
- This stuff is loose, y'all.
- Be careful.
179
00:08:49,238 --> 00:08:52,322
I believe the ancient people
were aware
180
00:08:52,407 --> 00:08:54,052
of whatever's happening
to us right now.
181
00:08:54,076 --> 00:08:57,619
They left us clues
through their rock art
182
00:08:57,703 --> 00:09:00,413
and I hope the team and myself
can contribute to that mystery
183
00:09:00,499 --> 00:09:02,706
in finding out some answers.
184
00:09:07,589 --> 00:09:09,548
Guys, y'all got to get
up here and see this.
185
00:09:19,684 --> 00:09:22,018
How's you find this, ryan?
186
00:09:22,104 --> 00:09:24,729
I've been walking all
throughout these cliffs
187
00:09:24,773 --> 00:09:28,357
and looking at every... every
rock face, looking for something
188
00:09:28,442 --> 00:09:30,860
just like this,
and this one jumped out.
189
00:09:30,903 --> 00:09:32,923
We're halfway up the mesa
on the northeastern corner
190
00:09:32,947 --> 00:09:34,739
of skinwalker ranch,
191
00:09:34,825 --> 00:09:37,095
and ryan skinner, a person
with a long history here,
192
00:09:37,119 --> 00:09:40,245
has just shown us a really
interesting petroglyph
193
00:09:40,330 --> 00:09:43,206
on a rock face that none of us
have ever seen before.
194
00:09:43,292 --> 00:09:46,125
It looks like it may even be
195
00:09:46,211 --> 00:09:47,501
a-all the way over there.
196
00:09:47,587 --> 00:09:49,065
It looks like there might be
a line there.
197
00:09:49,088 --> 00:09:51,234
- Are you talking this
right here?
- Yeah. Yeah, yeah, yeah.
198
00:09:51,258 --> 00:09:53,383
That right there
is where I'm thinking..
199
00:09:53,467 --> 00:09:55,279
It pokes out... I can't tell
if it's the rock
200
00:09:55,303 --> 00:09:57,803
or if that continues on,
but it's possible.
201
00:09:57,889 --> 00:10:01,015
Hey, guys.
You know what I think this is?
202
00:10:03,812 --> 00:10:06,187
I think that's the big dipper.
203
00:10:06,273 --> 00:10:10,399
This is either cassiopeia
204
00:10:10,443 --> 00:10:12,027
- or draco.
- Wow.
205
00:10:12,111 --> 00:10:15,488
Dating back centuries,
this entire region
206
00:10:15,573 --> 00:10:16,926
was inhabited
by indigenous people
207
00:10:16,950 --> 00:10:19,533
of the navajo
and the ute tribes.
208
00:10:19,620 --> 00:10:22,245
They were known to create
rock art such as petroglyphs
209
00:10:22,331 --> 00:10:25,664
which are carved, and
pictographs, which are painted.
210
00:10:25,750 --> 00:10:27,917
Now, these kinds of rock art
were typically used
211
00:10:28,003 --> 00:10:29,376
to either report something
212
00:10:29,462 --> 00:10:33,298
or to tell a story about
aspects of their heritage.
213
00:10:33,383 --> 00:10:35,193
Now, I've been studying
outer space
214
00:10:35,217 --> 00:10:38,177
for more than 35 years,
and I can't help but notice
215
00:10:38,263 --> 00:10:41,931
that some of these markings
in this feature look a lot like
216
00:10:42,017 --> 00:10:44,768
possible depictions
of constellations to me.
217
00:10:44,852 --> 00:10:46,602
We all know the big dipper.
218
00:10:46,687 --> 00:10:49,813
But draco was a dragon
or a serpent creature
219
00:10:49,857 --> 00:10:51,441
in greek mythology.
220
00:10:51,525 --> 00:10:54,653
So, I'm wondering,
if that's what this is,
221
00:10:54,738 --> 00:10:58,657
who carved this and just what
were they trying to convey?
222
00:10:58,700 --> 00:11:00,158
I don't know which one this is,
223
00:11:00,201 --> 00:11:02,951
but I think it could be
a star map.
224
00:11:05,874 --> 00:11:07,956
If that's north...
Look, look at this.
225
00:11:08,043 --> 00:11:10,793
- There's the mesa?
- It's the mesa. Look at that.
226
00:11:10,879 --> 00:11:16,716
This, if you look here and
you trace all this like this,
227
00:11:16,802 --> 00:11:18,442
that looks just like the mesa,
don't it?
228
00:11:18,511 --> 00:11:20,322
It does, it actually has
a lot of the similarities,
229
00:11:20,346 --> 00:11:21,763
even the shape.
230
00:11:21,847 --> 00:11:23,807
Now we have to be very careful
231
00:11:23,892 --> 00:11:26,600
not to jump to conclusions,
but suddenly,
232
00:11:26,687 --> 00:11:28,894
I'm noticing that it looks
almost like someone
233
00:11:28,980 --> 00:11:32,148
carved a map of the mesa
in this rock art.
234
00:11:32,234 --> 00:11:35,652
Now, if that's what this is,
the question is why?
235
00:11:35,696 --> 00:11:38,863
Look here. There's two spots.
236
00:11:40,575 --> 00:11:42,491
Does that two spots
237
00:11:42,576 --> 00:11:45,327
look like a familiar place
if this is the mesa?
238
00:11:47,081 --> 00:11:50,375
W... the spot
where we had the beam
239
00:11:50,460 --> 00:11:53,086
- that came up
by the homestead area?
- Yeah.
240
00:11:53,171 --> 00:11:56,965
When we shined the laser
at the mesa,
241
00:11:57,049 --> 00:12:00,467
that's right where
we were with the laser.
242
00:12:00,553 --> 00:12:02,636
- You ready?
- Yep.
243
00:12:02,722 --> 00:12:05,347
Last summer, we were
investigating a phenomenon
244
00:12:05,392 --> 00:12:06,640
that has been reported where
245
00:12:06,726 --> 00:12:09,519
parts of the mesa supposedly
become illuminated.
246
00:12:09,604 --> 00:12:11,666
We started by shining
a laser beam at it
247
00:12:11,690 --> 00:12:12,897
to see what would happen.
248
00:12:12,941 --> 00:12:15,066
- There it is.
- Wait, is that... there's two.
249
00:12:15,152 --> 00:12:17,485
Look.
250
00:12:17,571 --> 00:12:18,610
Do that again.
251
00:12:19,489 --> 00:12:21,489
How is it doing that?
252
00:12:21,575 --> 00:12:22,865
That is so weird.
253
00:12:22,951 --> 00:12:25,076
Then, almost immediately
afterwards,
254
00:12:25,162 --> 00:12:27,097
we all witnessed
a strange glowing
255
00:12:27,121 --> 00:12:28,580
across the top of the ridge.
256
00:12:28,664 --> 00:12:31,374
Hey guys, we just noticed on
the screen here a second ago,
257
00:12:31,460 --> 00:12:34,168
do you see the glow,
the flicker?
258
00:12:34,254 --> 00:12:36,879
Yeah, it's flickering.
259
00:12:36,965 --> 00:12:41,216
It's just really strange to me
to see something eerily similar
260
00:12:41,302 --> 00:12:43,761
possibly being depicted
in this rock art.
261
00:12:43,804 --> 00:12:45,783
Is it because whoever
made this long ago
262
00:12:45,807 --> 00:12:47,765
experienced the same thing?
263
00:12:47,808 --> 00:12:49,975
I-I feel like I have to ask.
264
00:12:50,061 --> 00:12:52,269
So, when you happened
across this, ryan,
265
00:12:52,313 --> 00:12:54,188
what jumped out to you?
266
00:12:54,274 --> 00:12:56,399
What d... how did you interpret
this thing?
267
00:12:56,485 --> 00:12:59,110
The triangle jumped out
to me a little bit.
268
00:12:59,196 --> 00:13:00,653
The shermans
269
00:13:00,697 --> 00:13:03,239
on the west side of the property
would see a portal open up,
270
00:13:03,325 --> 00:13:05,741
and these miniature triangles
would come out
271
00:13:05,826 --> 00:13:07,701
of the portal
and go over the property.
272
00:13:10,831 --> 00:13:12,791
The sherman family
273
00:13:12,875 --> 00:13:14,916
bought the property
in the early '90s.
274
00:13:14,961 --> 00:13:18,879
It was their dream to really
farm and ranch on the property
275
00:13:18,965 --> 00:13:22,049
and-and really raise
prized cattle.
276
00:13:23,677 --> 00:13:26,261
The shermans quickly found out,
unfortunately,
277
00:13:26,347 --> 00:13:27,971
that, they were not alone.
278
00:13:28,057 --> 00:13:32,059
The sherman family reported
all sorts of strangeness.
279
00:13:32,144 --> 00:13:36,940
Anything from experiences
with giant wolf-type creatures
280
00:13:37,024 --> 00:13:41,152
to their prized cattle
showing up mutilated.
281
00:13:43,865 --> 00:13:47,115
They unfortunately
got chased off of this ground
282
00:13:47,201 --> 00:13:48,451
by the paranormal activity
283
00:13:48,537 --> 00:13:51,287
shortly after they took
possession of the ranch.
284
00:13:51,373 --> 00:13:54,249
When ryan said
the shermans actually believed
285
00:13:54,334 --> 00:13:56,019
they saw portals open
on the ranch
286
00:13:56,043 --> 00:13:58,961
and strange illuminated objects
suddenly appear,
287
00:13:59,047 --> 00:14:00,629
that immediately made me think
288
00:14:00,715 --> 00:14:02,527
of what kaleb and I saw
the other night.
289
00:14:02,551 --> 00:14:04,133
Now, it wasn't a triangle,
290
00:14:04,219 --> 00:14:07,302
but it was definitely an oddly
shaped, illuminated phenomenon
291
00:14:07,389 --> 00:14:10,014
that I have
no scientific explanation for.
292
00:14:10,057 --> 00:14:12,683
I can't say for sure
that there's a connection
293
00:14:12,769 --> 00:14:15,311
between what this rock art
is meant to convey
294
00:14:15,397 --> 00:14:16,980
and what we saw the other night,
295
00:14:17,065 --> 00:14:21,234
but it does mean we have to keep
investigating and figure it out.
296
00:14:21,318 --> 00:14:24,070
I wonder if there's a way
to date these things.
297
00:14:24,154 --> 00:14:27,115
It could have been
10,000 years ago,
298
00:14:27,200 --> 00:14:29,283
could have been 400 years ago.
299
00:14:29,369 --> 00:14:31,326
But somebody drew that on there.
300
00:14:31,413 --> 00:14:32,995
That suggests to me
we should get
301
00:14:33,081 --> 00:14:35,058
a glyph expert out here
to have a look at this.
302
00:14:35,082 --> 00:14:36,726
Yeah. Yeah, you don't need
a physicist up here
303
00:14:36,750 --> 00:14:38,229
telling you how they did this.
You need a...
304
00:14:38,253 --> 00:14:40,879
You-you need an archaeologist
or whoever does
305
00:14:40,963 --> 00:14:43,213
glyphs for a living.
306
00:14:43,258 --> 00:14:44,985
Ryan, this is cool, dude.
I appreciate it.
307
00:14:45,009 --> 00:14:46,445
- So...
- It's enlightening to me, so...
308
00:14:46,469 --> 00:14:48,229
I agree.
Let's get out of here.
-Let's go.
309
00:14:56,395 --> 00:14:57,956
- Morning, guys.
- Hello, hello.
310
00:14:57,980 --> 00:15:00,023
This is dr. Dean taylor.
311
00:15:00,107 --> 00:15:02,649
While we were arranging
for a petroglyph expert
312
00:15:02,735 --> 00:15:03,879
to come out to the ranch
313
00:15:03,903 --> 00:15:05,986
to examine the rock art
on the mesa,
314
00:15:06,072 --> 00:15:08,572
thomas headed up
an important investigation
315
00:15:08,616 --> 00:15:10,783
related to one
of the most bizarre things
316
00:15:10,869 --> 00:15:12,451
we encountered last year.
317
00:15:12,537 --> 00:15:13,620
Thomas winterton.
318
00:15:13,705 --> 00:15:16,788
We decided to call in
a veterinarian
319
00:15:16,875 --> 00:15:18,754
with the utah
department of agriculture,
320
00:15:18,835 --> 00:15:21,126
dr. Dean taylor.
321
00:15:21,211 --> 00:15:22,856
Last summer,
we had a cow that died
322
00:15:22,880 --> 00:15:26,673
from rapid-onset,
stress-induced pneumonia.
323
00:15:26,759 --> 00:15:28,717
What in the world?
324
00:15:28,802 --> 00:15:30,720
There's no cat tracks.
There's no...
325
00:15:30,804 --> 00:15:31,971
S-sign of struggle.
326
00:15:32,057 --> 00:15:34,057
- Middle of the day.
- It's just dead.
327
00:15:34,142 --> 00:15:36,893
It's hard to kill a cow.
328
00:15:36,977 --> 00:15:39,062
Look at this.
Feel-feel my phone.
Look at this.
329
00:15:39,147 --> 00:15:41,730
It's going vibrate to mute,
vibrate to mute like crazy.
330
00:15:41,816 --> 00:15:43,399
Holy crap.
331
00:15:43,485 --> 00:15:45,421
Given the history
of reported cattle mutilations
332
00:15:45,445 --> 00:15:46,818
on skinwalker ranch,
333
00:15:46,904 --> 00:15:49,905
we were all put on edge
when this otherwise normal cow
334
00:15:49,990 --> 00:15:51,448
just dropped dead.
335
00:15:51,493 --> 00:15:53,993
And as soon as we started
to investigate it,
336
00:15:54,078 --> 00:15:56,245
thomas winterton's phone
started glitching
337
00:15:56,331 --> 00:15:57,496
like it was being hacked.
338
00:15:57,581 --> 00:15:59,499
- The meter's going nuts.
- Over there.
339
00:15:59,584 --> 00:16:00,832
And out of nowhere,
340
00:16:00,918 --> 00:16:02,605
we started getting
meter readings
341
00:16:02,629 --> 00:16:06,254
for really high levels
of radiation all around us.
342
00:16:06,298 --> 00:16:08,924
13, 14. We're at 15.16.
343
00:16:09,009 --> 00:16:10,927
The day after the cow died
last year,
344
00:16:11,011 --> 00:16:12,490
we were reviewing some
of the footage
345
00:16:12,514 --> 00:16:14,931
and we noticed
this object up in the sky.
346
00:16:15,015 --> 00:16:16,765
The cow is right here.
347
00:16:16,850 --> 00:16:19,394
I can't help but also notice
that there's...
348
00:16:19,479 --> 00:16:22,145
Something happening here.
349
00:16:22,190 --> 00:16:24,335
- Yo. Whoa. Look at that.
- Yeah, there it is. Right there.
350
00:16:24,359 --> 00:16:26,274
The cow reacted
351
00:16:26,360 --> 00:16:28,443
the moment
that that object appeared.
352
00:16:28,529 --> 00:16:29,923
I was sitting here
this whole time
353
00:16:29,947 --> 00:16:31,239
just thinking it was a bird.
354
00:16:31,323 --> 00:16:33,259
But you watch that real-time...
I mean, that's fast.
355
00:16:33,283 --> 00:16:34,971
Yeah, there's no bird
moving that fast.
356
00:16:34,995 --> 00:16:36,429
Not at a thousand feet
per second.
357
00:16:36,453 --> 00:16:38,120
I have no idea what that is.
358
00:16:38,206 --> 00:16:39,496
Cows die.
359
00:16:39,581 --> 00:16:41,942
- It's part of ranching,
unfortunately.
- Right.
360
00:16:42,001 --> 00:16:43,960
But the predators come in
361
00:16:44,044 --> 00:16:46,004
and scavenge it
almost immediately.
362
00:16:46,088 --> 00:16:49,841
And we have this particular cow
that died last year.
363
00:16:49,884 --> 00:16:52,509
- Okay.
- But the strange thing is
364
00:16:52,553 --> 00:16:55,346
we took the cow out
to a remote part of the property
365
00:16:55,389 --> 00:16:59,017
and, it sat there untouched
for almost a year.
366
00:16:59,059 --> 00:17:00,768
Okay. Yeah, that is unusual.
367
00:17:00,854 --> 00:17:03,062
'cause there should be coyotes
and...
368
00:17:03,148 --> 00:17:06,023
We've got a lot
of different predators out here
369
00:17:06,108 --> 00:17:07,627
- that...
- Should clean that up.
370
00:17:07,652 --> 00:17:09,005
- Yeah.
- Well,
I'll tell you what,
371
00:17:09,028 --> 00:17:10,909
I'll have you jump
in this red utv
372
00:17:10,989 --> 00:17:12,571
- and, we'll head out.
- Okay.
373
00:17:12,656 --> 00:17:14,376
- All right. Sounds good.
- All right.
374
00:17:15,576 --> 00:17:17,993
There's something there
in this cow
375
00:17:18,078 --> 00:17:19,494
that's making it undesirable.
376
00:17:19,580 --> 00:17:21,455
And, the birds
haven't touched it.
377
00:17:21,540 --> 00:17:23,227
The predators
haven't touched it.
378
00:17:23,250 --> 00:17:26,169
So, hopefully,
with dr. Taylor coming out,
379
00:17:26,253 --> 00:17:28,712
we'll be able to get
to the bottom of it.
380
00:17:30,549 --> 00:17:33,718
We try to find a remote place
that's out of the way, and...
381
00:17:33,802 --> 00:17:36,804
And then the predators usually
come in and take care of it.
382
00:17:36,890 --> 00:17:38,890
But, in this case,
383
00:17:38,974 --> 00:17:41,768
as you can see, the predators
haven't done their job.
384
00:17:41,853 --> 00:17:43,227
No, they haven't touched it.
385
00:17:44,271 --> 00:17:46,230
Yeah, that is unusual.
386
00:17:54,449 --> 00:17:55,114
You can see that nothing's
been pulling at that.
387
00:17:55,157 --> 00:17:55,990
You'd see teeth marks.
388
00:17:56,076 --> 00:17:57,325
Yeah.
389
00:17:57,410 --> 00:17:59,055
Because this cow
hasn't been touched for a year,
390
00:17:59,078 --> 00:18:01,703
we decided to call in
dr. Dean taylor.
391
00:18:01,748 --> 00:18:03,163
So, hopefully, we'll be able
392
00:18:03,249 --> 00:18:06,041
to get to the bottom
and identify why it is
393
00:18:06,126 --> 00:18:10,128
that-that, these predators
haven't wanted to eat this cow.
394
00:18:10,214 --> 00:18:12,548
Even if there's still
quite a bit of the carcass left,
395
00:18:12,634 --> 00:18:15,218
you'll still find
loose rib bones.
396
00:18:16,179 --> 00:18:20,097
But the bones are laying
right where you dropped them.
397
00:18:20,182 --> 00:18:22,933
Had the predators
just come in and-and did
398
00:18:23,019 --> 00:18:24,829
what they usually do,
which is pick it over clean
399
00:18:24,854 --> 00:18:27,165
- and, within a week, you can't
tell that she was here, right?
- Right.
400
00:18:27,190 --> 00:18:28,959
- And scatter the bones all over.
- Had they done that,
401
00:18:28,982 --> 00:18:30,782
then it would have been
case closed.
402
00:18:31,736 --> 00:18:33,903
But nothing touched her.
403
00:18:33,988 --> 00:18:35,947
She-she was perfect...
404
00:18:36,031 --> 00:18:38,615
Perfectly fine,
as-as far as we knew,
405
00:18:38,701 --> 00:18:39,951
- up to that point.
- Okay.
406
00:18:40,036 --> 00:18:42,619
Did any other cows
get sick after?
407
00:18:42,704 --> 00:18:45,265
- No.
- No. In fact, they were all
at the other end of the field.
408
00:18:46,960 --> 00:18:48,960
Ignition.
409
00:18:49,002 --> 00:18:50,627
Last year, shortly before
410
00:18:50,712 --> 00:18:53,131
this cow dropped dead
near the command center,
411
00:18:53,215 --> 00:18:54,548
we were launching rockets,
412
00:18:54,634 --> 00:18:57,093
attempting to measure
some electromagnetic anomalies
413
00:18:57,136 --> 00:18:59,427
we detected
high above the ranch.
414
00:18:59,513 --> 00:19:00,971
Look at the cows.
415
00:19:01,015 --> 00:19:03,015
Never seen that before.
416
00:19:03,101 --> 00:19:06,102
Suddenly, the cows
all began bunching up.
417
00:19:06,145 --> 00:19:07,811
Clearly, they were spooked.
418
00:19:07,896 --> 00:19:10,272
And then something
even stranger happened.
419
00:19:10,316 --> 00:19:12,086
- Look, look, look, look!
- What is that?
420
00:19:12,109 --> 00:19:14,192
We saw two different
unidentified objects
421
00:19:14,278 --> 00:19:15,694
suddenly appear over the ranch.
422
00:19:15,779 --> 00:19:18,196
They made
incredible aerodynamic moves
423
00:19:18,282 --> 00:19:20,991
and then they just disappeared.
424
00:19:21,076 --> 00:19:22,160
It's gone.
425
00:19:22,202 --> 00:19:23,827
Not long after,
426
00:19:23,913 --> 00:19:25,997
this cow died
right in the same area
427
00:19:26,082 --> 00:19:27,498
and at the same time
428
00:19:27,541 --> 00:19:31,210
as another ufo appeared
right above it in the sky.
429
00:19:31,296 --> 00:19:34,255
So now that nothing
has touched this carcass since,
430
00:19:34,339 --> 00:19:37,508
I'm wondering if all these
events are related in some way,
431
00:19:37,594 --> 00:19:39,969
including what we saw
the other night.
432
00:19:40,888 --> 00:19:43,013
The thing
that doesn't really fit
433
00:19:43,057 --> 00:19:43,931
is the sudden death.
434
00:19:44,017 --> 00:19:45,307
There's not...
435
00:19:45,393 --> 00:19:47,894
That many things that
would cause that cow to be good
436
00:19:47,979 --> 00:19:51,521
in the morning
and dead in the afternoon.
437
00:19:51,566 --> 00:19:54,525
Even if it was
a rapid death from pneumonia,
438
00:19:54,568 --> 00:19:58,695
I would expect that cow
to be standing off,
439
00:19:58,740 --> 00:20:01,531
open-mouth breathing, coughing.
440
00:20:01,617 --> 00:20:03,220
With pneumonia, usually,
you're gonna have
441
00:20:03,243 --> 00:20:05,912
a pretty clear indication
that that's the case.
442
00:20:05,997 --> 00:20:07,872
Now, what about specifically
443
00:20:07,957 --> 00:20:09,832
a cow that doesn't...
444
00:20:09,875 --> 00:20:11,416
You know, decompose right or...?
445
00:20:11,501 --> 00:20:12,835
Never seen one of those.
446
00:20:15,256 --> 00:20:17,358
- I'll be honest.
- So, the effect
of an acute pneumonia
447
00:20:17,383 --> 00:20:19,258
- wouldn't be the reason...
- No.
448
00:20:19,344 --> 00:20:22,553
- Something wouldn't eat
this cow.
- No.
449
00:20:22,638 --> 00:20:26,223
In fact, predators
probably would seek them out.
450
00:20:26,308 --> 00:20:29,227
- Yeah.
- And-and that was
another one of 'em, was...
451
00:20:29,269 --> 00:20:32,230
-that I noticed...
was no insects.
-Yeah.
452
00:20:33,441 --> 00:20:35,566
There's something
about that carcass
453
00:20:35,609 --> 00:20:37,401
that I don't like.
454
00:20:37,487 --> 00:20:39,528
All of the entrails,
455
00:20:39,614 --> 00:20:41,697
are still with...
Inside the body cavity,
456
00:20:41,782 --> 00:20:44,741
and I don't know
what would cause animals
457
00:20:44,786 --> 00:20:47,411
not to touch this cow
in a year's time.
458
00:20:47,454 --> 00:20:49,913
I think I'd like to take
a sample of that hind leg
459
00:20:49,999 --> 00:20:52,083
- right there,
where it's-it's still got
Okay.
460
00:20:52,125 --> 00:20:54,210
Some covering around it
with the skin.
461
00:20:54,295 --> 00:20:56,545
Looking at this animal,
there isn't
462
00:20:56,588 --> 00:21:00,132
really anything that is gonna
say, "this animal died of this."
463
00:21:00,218 --> 00:21:03,970
so, we're gonna sample
what we have available.
464
00:21:04,055 --> 00:21:07,013
- I'm all right there, doctor?
- Yeah. That'll be perfect.
465
00:21:07,099 --> 00:21:09,307
So, hopefully,
with the lab diagnostics,
466
00:21:09,394 --> 00:21:10,768
we can find something up there
467
00:21:10,811 --> 00:21:13,061
to send us down a path at least.
468
00:21:13,897 --> 00:21:16,065
Thanks, dr. Taylor.
469
00:21:24,491 --> 00:21:25,678
- Is this him here?
- Yup.
- Yeah.
470
00:21:25,701 --> 00:21:27,617
- Alan.
- Hey.
471
00:21:27,703 --> 00:21:29,787
- Erik, how are you?
- Doing great. How are you?
472
00:21:29,830 --> 00:21:31,351
- Good.
- Welcome to the ranch.
473
00:21:31,415 --> 00:21:33,374
- Hey. Travis taylor.
- Travis.
474
00:21:33,459 --> 00:21:35,417
Erik has invited
dr. Alan garfinkel
475
00:21:35,502 --> 00:21:38,086
to come out to the ranch
to examine the petroglyph
476
00:21:38,131 --> 00:21:40,298
that ryan skinner showed us
477
00:21:40,340 --> 00:21:43,049
on the side of the mesa
a couple of days ago.
478
00:21:43,135 --> 00:21:45,635
Now, we're all hoping
that he can shed some light
479
00:21:45,721 --> 00:21:49,390
on whether or not these carved
images might be important clues
480
00:21:49,474 --> 00:21:52,643
about the phenomena that we've
recently experienced out here.
481
00:21:52,686 --> 00:21:56,771
So, you guys know alan is
an archeologist, anthropologist,
482
00:21:56,857 --> 00:21:58,356
and a petroglyphs expert.
483
00:21:58,442 --> 00:22:00,086
And so we're going
to go out and take a look
484
00:22:00,111 --> 00:22:01,922
at some of the things
we have on the ranch
485
00:22:01,945 --> 00:22:04,133
- not far from where we stand.
- Honored. Love to see them.
486
00:22:04,156 --> 00:22:07,157
I've been working
in the field of ethnography
487
00:22:07,201 --> 00:22:09,993
and rock art studies
for 40 years.
488
00:22:10,078 --> 00:22:13,788
My efforts and expertise
are on the desert west,
489
00:22:13,833 --> 00:22:16,500
specifically the great basin,
490
00:22:16,544 --> 00:22:19,461
and about the indigenous people
of the great basin.
491
00:22:19,505 --> 00:22:21,630
Well, let's show him
some adventure, erik.
492
00:22:21,715 --> 00:22:22,875
Let's see some adventure.
493
00:22:26,721 --> 00:22:29,012
I knew there was a lot
494
00:22:29,057 --> 00:22:31,682
of supernatural activities
495
00:22:31,726 --> 00:22:34,977
that have been identified
here at the ranch.
496
00:22:35,020 --> 00:22:38,855
And I also understand that part
of my responsibilities are
497
00:22:38,900 --> 00:22:42,026
to see how that rock art
and see how these images
498
00:22:42,069 --> 00:22:45,695
and those features might have
interfingered with this
499
00:22:45,740 --> 00:22:48,865
paranormal
or supernatural realm.
500
00:22:48,910 --> 00:22:51,201
So, this is it?
501
00:22:51,244 --> 00:22:53,996
- Yup. Here we are.
- Okay.
502
00:22:54,832 --> 00:22:57,208
Well, look at this place.
503
00:22:57,250 --> 00:22:59,210
We're kind of in an amphitheater
here, aren't we?
504
00:22:59,252 --> 00:23:00,377
Check this out.
505
00:23:04,008 --> 00:23:06,092
- You hear that echo?
- Yeah. Sure.
506
00:23:06,176 --> 00:23:08,844
Yeah. That's one of the reasons
that, this area
507
00:23:08,930 --> 00:23:14,557
might have been chosen to have
rock art... because it echoes.
508
00:23:14,644 --> 00:23:17,060
When I approached the location,
I immediately noticed
509
00:23:17,105 --> 00:23:19,563
that it was an echo-phonic area.
510
00:23:19,606 --> 00:23:21,565
The echoes would
come back to me.
511
00:23:21,608 --> 00:23:24,402
Native people look
at that and say, "-ha.
512
00:23:24,444 --> 00:23:28,696
Here is an area of magic,
of power, of the supernatural."
513
00:23:28,782 --> 00:23:30,740
It's part of the
archeo-acoustics,
514
00:23:30,785 --> 00:23:32,785
- or acoustic archeology.
- I see.
515
00:23:32,869 --> 00:23:36,704
And the stones are talking,
516
00:23:36,749 --> 00:23:39,500
so it's communicating with us.
517
00:23:39,585 --> 00:23:42,836
It's really interesting to me
how dr. Garfinkel made
518
00:23:42,922 --> 00:23:46,006
the observation
that this particular location
519
00:23:46,092 --> 00:23:48,800
may have been chosen
because of the acoustics.
520
00:23:48,885 --> 00:23:51,554
But the real question is,
could it have been chosen
521
00:23:51,596 --> 00:23:53,096
for something more than that?
522
00:23:53,141 --> 00:23:55,807
We all have our opinion
about what that is,
523
00:23:55,893 --> 00:23:57,726
what it means and what it tells.
524
00:23:57,811 --> 00:24:00,980
We'd love to hear what your take
on it is without us tainting it.
525
00:24:01,065 --> 00:24:03,941
- Great. Can we wander?
- Absolutely.
526
00:24:10,282 --> 00:24:12,324
Interesting. Wow.
527
00:24:12,410 --> 00:24:14,451
Little bit of eye candy?
528
00:24:14,537 --> 00:24:18,122
So, what I'm looking at
is these curves.
529
00:24:18,165 --> 00:24:19,809
This is part of this
"desert varnish"
530
00:24:19,834 --> 00:24:22,125
as it's called,
this blackened surface,
531
00:24:22,211 --> 00:24:25,211
and it's-it's formed from water,
532
00:24:25,298 --> 00:24:28,257
wind, air, sun,
533
00:24:28,342 --> 00:24:30,925
and it gets darker
and darker and darker.
534
00:24:31,011 --> 00:24:32,635
Then what do they use
535
00:24:32,680 --> 00:24:33,971
to remove it? What is the...
536
00:24:34,015 --> 00:24:35,681
- Is it an acid, or they rub it?
- No.
537
00:24:35,766 --> 00:24:38,224
They usually have
a quartz hammer stone.
538
00:24:38,310 --> 00:24:39,684
Okay.
539
00:24:39,769 --> 00:24:41,979
Now can you see pecking
happening here?
540
00:24:42,022 --> 00:24:44,105
Yes. You can see if you look
very, very closely.
541
00:24:44,192 --> 00:24:45,836
You can see that
this has been pecked
542
00:24:45,859 --> 00:24:48,611
and incised into the rock.
543
00:24:48,695 --> 00:24:51,989
But what I'm looking at
is these curves.
544
00:24:52,032 --> 00:24:54,575
It's a metaphor
for a serpent or a snake.
545
00:24:54,660 --> 00:24:56,951
For the euto-aztek people,
546
00:24:57,038 --> 00:24:59,329
hailing from the aztecs,
etcetera,
547
00:24:59,414 --> 00:25:01,123
we're talking about an animal
548
00:25:01,166 --> 00:25:04,835
that is a metaphor or a symbol
549
00:25:04,878 --> 00:25:06,461
of life and death.
550
00:25:06,547 --> 00:25:08,797
Snakes represents
two different worlds,
551
00:25:08,840 --> 00:25:11,174
so it's a guardian
to the portals.
552
00:25:11,219 --> 00:25:14,511
The portal is a window
into the supernatural.
553
00:25:23,730 --> 00:25:25,250
That right there is-is...
Is very interesting,
554
00:25:25,273 --> 00:25:26,751
and I don't know if you'd say
important to our investigation,
555
00:25:26,776 --> 00:25:30,693
but there is a lot
of mythos and legend
556
00:25:30,779 --> 00:25:34,114
about portals opening up around
here for hundreds of years.
557
00:25:34,200 --> 00:25:35,676
I mean, that's exactly
what this is saying.
558
00:25:35,701 --> 00:25:41,372
Native people would
produce images like this,
559
00:25:41,414 --> 00:25:43,184
and they would mirror
their cosmology.
560
00:25:43,209 --> 00:25:45,041
They'd mirror their worldview.
561
00:25:45,126 --> 00:25:49,212
And so, if they have
a belief about a portal,
562
00:25:49,257 --> 00:25:52,715
if they have a belief about
the heavens and the earth,
563
00:25:52,759 --> 00:25:57,179
this could be memorialized
in the rock drawing.
564
00:25:57,265 --> 00:25:59,557
If this glyph really
is a depiction
565
00:25:59,599 --> 00:26:03,143
of a portal that was carved by
native people a long time ago,
566
00:26:03,229 --> 00:26:05,770
my questions are,
why did they believe that?
567
00:26:05,855 --> 00:26:07,875
And could it not only
help get us closer
568
00:26:07,900 --> 00:26:10,192
to an explanation of what
we're dealing with,
569
00:26:10,236 --> 00:26:12,318
but could it also
explain the things
570
00:26:12,404 --> 00:26:14,132
that have frightened people
off this ranch
571
00:26:14,155 --> 00:26:15,739
for more than a century?
572
00:26:15,782 --> 00:26:17,407
The natural feature of the rock
573
00:26:17,451 --> 00:26:19,660
is almost the same shape
as the mesa,
574
00:26:19,744 --> 00:26:22,746
and I have hypothesized
575
00:26:22,832 --> 00:26:26,584
that these are star patterns,
rising or setting
576
00:26:26,626 --> 00:26:29,920
or what have you, at certain
times of the year over the mesa.
577
00:26:29,963 --> 00:26:32,589
Right, there is a thing
called "asterisms,"
578
00:26:32,633 --> 00:26:35,134
and so, within the rock art,
579
00:26:35,219 --> 00:26:38,261
within the petroglyphs,
they depict
580
00:26:38,306 --> 00:26:41,390
the celestial bodies
and the horizon.
581
00:26:41,433 --> 00:26:44,476
And so, very commonly,
582
00:26:44,561 --> 00:26:46,436
there are certain star patterns
583
00:26:46,480 --> 00:26:49,815
and certain stars
that would be very significant.
584
00:26:49,900 --> 00:26:52,609
What it actually does align
with, and I have looked at it...
585
00:26:52,653 --> 00:26:55,257
- Yeah. Of course.
- And you know,
I am an astronomer.
586
00:26:55,280 --> 00:26:57,615
- And, this snake pattern
at the top...
- Yes.
587
00:26:57,657 --> 00:26:59,927
- Looks just like
the constellation draco...
- Okay.
588
00:26:59,951 --> 00:27:02,592
- Which is a dragon
or a serpent.
- There you go.
589
00:27:04,164 --> 00:27:05,955
There are a lot of strange
590
00:27:06,041 --> 00:27:08,125
and interesting things happening
on this ranch.
591
00:27:08,169 --> 00:27:11,252
But seeing this pictograph
or this petroglyph, and
592
00:27:11,338 --> 00:27:14,131
given all the stories and the
history of what have been called
593
00:27:14,215 --> 00:27:16,361
"portals" opening up here
at skinwalker ranch,
594
00:27:16,384 --> 00:27:19,219
it really has us all
taking a step back
595
00:27:19,305 --> 00:27:21,430
and wondering what in the heck
really was going on
596
00:27:21,515 --> 00:27:23,307
way back when on this property.
597
00:27:23,392 --> 00:27:25,976
You know, this gives us a lot
of things to think about.
598
00:27:26,019 --> 00:27:28,979
We really appreciate you
coming out and talking with us.
599
00:27:29,022 --> 00:27:30,314
Thank you so much.
600
00:27:34,362 --> 00:27:36,444
Hey, there's jim.
601
00:27:37,530 --> 00:27:39,323
He's got somebody with him.
602
00:27:39,366 --> 00:27:41,491
- Hey, guys. How you doing?
- Hey, jim.
603
00:27:41,535 --> 00:27:44,243
I've got the lovely
hicks family here.
604
00:27:44,329 --> 00:27:45,788
Hey.
605
00:27:45,873 --> 00:27:48,374
While we await the lab results
that will hopefully help explain
606
00:27:48,459 --> 00:27:51,167
why the cow carcass
on the ranch has gone untouched
607
00:27:51,211 --> 00:27:53,336
by predators for nearly a year,
608
00:27:53,381 --> 00:27:54,880
jim morse has brought the family
609
00:27:54,964 --> 00:27:56,567
of junior hicks out
to meet with us.
610
00:27:56,592 --> 00:27:58,653
I would love for you
to come on over and chat
611
00:27:58,677 --> 00:28:00,176
- and get better acquainted.
- Okay.
612
00:28:00,221 --> 00:28:02,365
-Yeah, I'd love to.
Go to the headquarters?
-Yes, sir.
613
00:28:02,390 --> 00:28:04,201
All right, we'll see you there
in just a second.
614
00:28:04,224 --> 00:28:05,701
Thank you so much.
Appreciate it.
615
00:28:05,726 --> 00:28:07,017
Great. Good to see you.
616
00:28:07,103 --> 00:28:09,144
Sadly, junior recently
passed away,
617
00:28:09,188 --> 00:28:12,855
but he was the preeminent
researcher of ufo phenomena
618
00:28:12,900 --> 00:28:15,483
and cattle mutilations
right here in the uinta basin
619
00:28:15,568 --> 00:28:17,528
for more than 60 years.
620
00:28:17,613 --> 00:28:20,279
And it's our hope
that mr. Hicks' research
621
00:28:20,365 --> 00:28:22,825
might help us going
forward as we continue
622
00:28:22,867 --> 00:28:25,076
to investigate
the same phenomena.
623
00:28:25,162 --> 00:28:27,203
Junior hicks was
a science teacher here
624
00:28:27,248 --> 00:28:30,749
at one of the local schools
and took it upon himself
625
00:28:30,835 --> 00:28:33,669
to start documenting all
of these ufo sightings.
626
00:28:33,753 --> 00:28:35,712
Anytime there was any reports,
627
00:28:35,756 --> 00:28:38,298
junior would drive out there,
interview 'em,
628
00:28:38,384 --> 00:28:41,218
collect any evidence
that was left behind.
629
00:28:41,302 --> 00:28:43,761
Shortly after
purchasing the property,
630
00:28:43,847 --> 00:28:46,557
I had the opportunity
to meet with junior hicks.
631
00:28:46,599 --> 00:28:49,684
One thing that really
piqued my interest was
632
00:28:49,729 --> 00:28:52,395
that junior had
experienced events
633
00:28:52,480 --> 00:28:55,857
on the ranch predating not only
the bigelow investigation,
634
00:28:55,942 --> 00:28:58,861
but also the shermans.
635
00:28:58,945 --> 00:29:00,570
Welcome to skinwalker ranch.
636
00:29:00,614 --> 00:29:02,008
- Hi there.
- Good to see you. Thank you.
637
00:29:02,031 --> 00:29:03,240
Come on up and have a seat.
638
00:29:03,284 --> 00:29:05,826
We loved,
639
00:29:05,911 --> 00:29:08,828
you know, your father
and grandfather so much, and so,
640
00:29:08,913 --> 00:29:10,873
we're excited
to have you guys here, too.
641
00:29:10,958 --> 00:29:13,625
Sounds amazing. I hate
that I never got to meet him.
642
00:29:13,711 --> 00:29:16,586
He loved the area, and he was
in... Fascinated by the geology
643
00:29:16,630 --> 00:29:19,047
and the terrain, and he just
took it upon himself
644
00:29:19,090 --> 00:29:22,593
to, investigate these...
The sightings that people had.
645
00:29:22,635 --> 00:29:24,280
And there began to be a lot
in the mid-1960s,
646
00:29:24,305 --> 00:29:26,555
and so, over the years,
647
00:29:26,640 --> 00:29:29,767
he just kept a file
of, these sightings.
648
00:29:29,809 --> 00:29:32,102
Well, I noticed that y'all
brought a box of stuff.
649
00:29:32,188 --> 00:29:34,165
I was curious of what you
might have brought to show us.
650
00:29:34,190 --> 00:29:35,980
- Sure.
- You want
to look at it?
651
00:29:36,066 --> 00:29:37,210
Something kind of interesting.
652
00:29:37,233 --> 00:29:40,067
Jim... he asked me
to bring documents
653
00:29:40,153 --> 00:29:43,113
to be able to show to the team.
654
00:29:43,199 --> 00:29:45,699
There were a lot of things
that I thought were fascinating,
655
00:29:45,785 --> 00:29:50,953
but this one I thought really
gave a very broad perspective of
656
00:29:50,998 --> 00:29:53,248
all the data that had
ever been recorded
657
00:29:53,291 --> 00:29:57,085
that my grandpa had researched,
all in that small folder.
658
00:29:57,171 --> 00:29:59,837
Yeah, he's even done
some statistical analysis on
659
00:29:59,923 --> 00:30:03,717
all the things that people
have said they'd seen,
660
00:30:03,803 --> 00:30:09,932
where they are,
how big they are, time of day.
661
00:30:09,974 --> 00:30:11,141
I mean, he just... He wanted
662
00:30:11,227 --> 00:30:12,828
to look at it
from a-a scientific approach.
663
00:30:12,853 --> 00:30:14,144
You know, I don't think
664
00:30:14,230 --> 00:30:16,814
anybody's ever shown data
like that before.
665
00:30:16,856 --> 00:30:19,817
What a meticulous study
he has conducted
666
00:30:19,902 --> 00:30:21,484
for decades.
667
00:30:21,569 --> 00:30:24,320
Material I'd never seen before
that attempts to
668
00:30:24,365 --> 00:30:27,825
find some line of reasoning
through all the data.
669
00:30:27,867 --> 00:30:31,077
This doesn't exist anywhere
in a place where researchers
670
00:30:31,163 --> 00:30:33,663
can go look at it and then
start really throwing out
671
00:30:33,707 --> 00:30:35,519
the crackpot stories
versus the stories
672
00:30:35,542 --> 00:30:37,835
that, hey,
there's something to this.
673
00:30:37,877 --> 00:30:39,502
This is impressive.
674
00:30:39,587 --> 00:30:41,547
So, maybe we should
take all this data
675
00:30:41,632 --> 00:30:43,798
that junior has done so well
676
00:30:43,884 --> 00:30:45,028
and put it
in an actual database,
677
00:30:45,051 --> 00:30:47,510
and we'll be able to pull
678
00:30:47,555 --> 00:30:48,906
and see things
in different ways that,
679
00:30:48,931 --> 00:30:51,472
you know, maybe
we don't even expect.
680
00:30:51,517 --> 00:30:53,224
Well, let me ask you this.
681
00:30:53,309 --> 00:30:55,894
Did any of you get
the opportunity to go with him
682
00:30:55,980 --> 00:30:59,522
and-and meet with individuals
or hear any of it firsthand?
683
00:30:59,607 --> 00:31:04,278
Yeah, yeah. Yeah, we-we...
He-he brought us,
684
00:31:04,363 --> 00:31:06,423
and he brought a compass
with him, and he says,
685
00:31:06,448 --> 00:31:07,865
"hey, look at this, watch this."
686
00:31:07,950 --> 00:31:11,285
and we would watch the compass,
and it would just go wonky.
687
00:31:11,369 --> 00:31:13,494
It was just...
688
00:31:13,580 --> 00:31:15,079
Nothing made sense on it.
689
00:31:16,291 --> 00:31:18,103
You're saying it was
right here on the property?
690
00:31:18,126 --> 00:31:20,355
Yeah, yeah, right here,
here in... At the ranch.
691
00:31:20,378 --> 00:31:23,179
- That's important.
- And we looked
at a cattle mutilation.
692
00:31:31,181 --> 00:31:32,388
We're meeting with the family
693
00:31:32,432 --> 00:31:33,347
of the late ufo researcher
junior hicks,
694
00:31:33,392 --> 00:31:35,224
who spent more than 60 years
695
00:31:35,269 --> 00:31:38,228
documenting bizarre phenomena
in the vinta basin.
696
00:31:38,271 --> 00:31:41,064
But what we didn't know was
that members of his family
697
00:31:41,107 --> 00:31:44,902
had their own experiences
right here on skinwalker ranch.
698
00:31:44,987 --> 00:31:46,862
Without getting
too graphic about it,
699
00:31:46,905 --> 00:31:47,863
I mean, what... What was missing
700
00:31:47,906 --> 00:31:50,907
or-or done to the cow?
701
00:31:50,992 --> 00:31:54,744
The eyes
were-were kind of cut out,
702
00:31:54,829 --> 00:31:57,580
and the back end of the cow
703
00:31:57,625 --> 00:31:59,665
was very, I mean, very precise.
704
00:31:59,751 --> 00:32:02,126
- It was not an animal.
- Not a predator?
705
00:32:02,211 --> 00:32:04,546
No, no, not-not anything
that we would know,
706
00:32:04,632 --> 00:32:06,423
like a wolf or a dog
or anything.
707
00:32:06,508 --> 00:32:08,028
You know what I'm saying?
Nothing natural.
708
00:32:08,051 --> 00:32:09,362
And you witnessed this
with your own eyes?
709
00:32:09,385 --> 00:32:10,821
- Yeah.
- That's amazing.
710
00:32:10,846 --> 00:32:13,430
Although there have been
cattle mutilations
711
00:32:13,473 --> 00:32:15,723
going back through history
for hundreds of years,
712
00:32:15,808 --> 00:32:18,602
it wasn't until around the 1970s
713
00:32:18,686 --> 00:32:21,104
when enough of them
were occurring
714
00:32:21,147 --> 00:32:23,125
that some people
in the scientific community
715
00:32:23,150 --> 00:32:25,275
had to start taking it
seriously.
716
00:32:27,237 --> 00:32:30,279
In almost all of these
cattle mutilation cases,
717
00:32:30,365 --> 00:32:32,324
they find no blood,
718
00:32:32,409 --> 00:32:35,786
and the cows have been mutilated
in a way
719
00:32:35,828 --> 00:32:38,497
like it was done
with surgical precision
720
00:32:38,582 --> 00:32:41,083
and surgical instruments
instead of what you would think
721
00:32:41,125 --> 00:32:43,042
a predator would do,
722
00:32:43,127 --> 00:32:45,962
like a large cat
that might tear it apart.
723
00:32:48,133 --> 00:32:50,133
Well, everything
we've discussed so far
724
00:32:50,176 --> 00:32:51,759
has only piqued my interest
725
00:32:51,845 --> 00:32:54,136
in what else is
inside of that box.
726
00:32:55,182 --> 00:32:58,057
So, I'm not exactly
sure necessarily
727
00:32:58,143 --> 00:33:02,229
the origin of this photo,
but I do know that this is
728
00:33:02,314 --> 00:33:03,791
something connected
to the ranch.
729
00:33:03,816 --> 00:33:05,565
- I think I recognize this photo.
- Yeah.
730
00:33:05,651 --> 00:33:07,490
He's brought that out before
and showed us.
731
00:33:08,319 --> 00:33:11,195
These were rods
732
00:33:11,280 --> 00:33:14,115
that the bigelow team found
out here in this field.
733
00:33:14,201 --> 00:33:16,284
He actually had
the opportunity, though,
734
00:33:16,327 --> 00:33:18,662
to take and try to identify...
735
00:33:18,747 --> 00:33:20,955
He tells the story
of trying to cut it.
736
00:33:21,040 --> 00:33:24,250
They weren't able to cut them,
they weren't able to melt them,
737
00:33:24,336 --> 00:33:27,003
and mr. Bigelow ended up
taking them, and then...
738
00:33:27,047 --> 00:33:29,006
Junior said that he followed up
with mr. Bigelow,
739
00:33:29,048 --> 00:33:31,590
and mr. Bigelow said,
"they're nothing,"
740
00:33:31,676 --> 00:33:33,468
and he said,
"well, can we have them back?"
741
00:33:33,554 --> 00:33:35,929
you know, "no."
742
00:33:37,057 --> 00:33:40,517
In 1996, the shermans sold
skinwalker ranch
743
00:33:40,602 --> 00:33:43,854
to billionaire aerospace
entrepreneur robert bigelow.
744
00:33:43,896 --> 00:33:46,314
He then assembled
a team of scientists
745
00:33:46,400 --> 00:33:49,859
who spent the next two decades
studying and investigating it
746
00:33:49,903 --> 00:33:52,778
as the national institute
for discovery science,
747
00:33:52,865 --> 00:33:54,072
or nids.
748
00:33:54,115 --> 00:33:56,825
Bigelow even received
financial support
749
00:33:56,868 --> 00:33:58,326
from the federal government.
750
00:33:58,369 --> 00:34:01,371
Much of what they found here
has been kept a secret,
751
00:34:01,414 --> 00:34:02,955
but rumors have leaked out
752
00:34:03,041 --> 00:34:05,541
about some
pretty disturbing discoveries.
753
00:34:05,626 --> 00:34:07,711
Soon after taking possession
754
00:34:07,755 --> 00:34:11,672
and occupancy of the property,
robert bigelow's nids team
755
00:34:11,759 --> 00:34:13,050
actually started seeing
756
00:34:13,135 --> 00:34:14,862
everything
from cattle mutilations
757
00:34:14,887 --> 00:34:18,054
to ufos
to portals that would open up
758
00:34:18,097 --> 00:34:20,139
above the old homesteads.
759
00:34:20,224 --> 00:34:22,893
And those events,
I think, underscored
760
00:34:22,936 --> 00:34:25,853
how special this property was
as a center of gravity
761
00:34:25,938 --> 00:34:28,898
for paranormal activity.
762
00:34:28,942 --> 00:34:31,400
They found one of those bars.
763
00:34:31,445 --> 00:34:33,862
Junior told of mr. Bigelow
having the team...
764
00:34:33,905 --> 00:34:36,822
- were they
on their hands and knees?
- Yeah, hands and knees.
765
00:34:36,909 --> 00:34:38,594
Hands and knees, crawling
through this field here.
766
00:34:38,619 --> 00:34:41,577
And I guess
what it was explained to him
767
00:34:41,621 --> 00:34:45,248
was that they thought they
were possibly used energy cells
768
00:34:45,291 --> 00:34:47,541
that were dropped by, you know,
769
00:34:47,628 --> 00:34:48,876
some of the ufo phenomena.
770
00:34:48,961 --> 00:34:50,378
Isn't that how you recall
771
00:34:50,463 --> 00:34:52,588
- the story?
- That's how he described it.
772
00:34:54,050 --> 00:34:56,510
Seeing these pictures that
the hicks family brought us
773
00:34:56,594 --> 00:34:58,594
of these rods
actually makes me think
774
00:34:58,639 --> 00:35:01,639
of the stories that you hear
from the nids team
775
00:35:01,724 --> 00:35:03,474
from bigelow aerospace
776
00:35:03,559 --> 00:35:05,936
saying that
they found metamaterials
777
00:35:05,978 --> 00:35:07,478
here on the ranch.
778
00:35:07,563 --> 00:35:10,898
A metamaterial is something
that has specific properties
779
00:35:10,983 --> 00:35:14,777
that change the way light
and energy passes through it,
780
00:35:14,822 --> 00:35:17,405
different than normal material.
781
00:35:17,490 --> 00:35:19,282
It does make you wonder.
782
00:35:19,326 --> 00:35:21,451
If bigelow's actually got them,
783
00:35:21,494 --> 00:35:23,577
and he's got them
hidden away somewhere,
784
00:35:23,664 --> 00:35:25,831
could they really be related
to ufos?
785
00:35:25,916 --> 00:35:30,585
And will we find more of them
somewhere on the ranch?
786
00:35:30,670 --> 00:35:33,463
Thank you so, so much.
787
00:35:33,548 --> 00:35:36,800
This has been an absolute
pleasure, and we're so grateful
788
00:35:36,885 --> 00:35:38,487
that you've come spend
some time with us.
789
00:35:38,512 --> 00:35:40,739
- This has been
an absolute treat.
- I really appreciate it.
790
00:35:40,764 --> 00:35:41,847
Thank you very much.
791
00:35:41,931 --> 00:35:43,367
- Thank you very much.
- Yeah, thank you.
792
00:35:43,391 --> 00:35:44,807
We appreciate coming out.
793
00:35:51,608 --> 00:35:53,315
Hello, dr. Taylor.
794
00:35:53,402 --> 00:35:55,322
- Can you hear us?
- -Yeah, I can. Good morning.
795
00:35:55,362 --> 00:35:56,402
Good morning.
796
00:35:56,487 --> 00:35:58,737
I want you to meet
dr. Travis, taylor.
797
00:35:58,824 --> 00:36:01,740
- Nice to meet you, dr. Taylor.
- -You, too.
798
00:36:01,827 --> 00:36:04,577
Tom and kandus and I
are very eager to hear
799
00:36:04,663 --> 00:36:06,996
dr. Dean taylor's analysis
of the tissue sample he took
800
00:36:07,081 --> 00:36:09,166
from the cow carcass
here on the ranch.
801
00:36:09,208 --> 00:36:12,668
As three people who are
actually living here right now,
802
00:36:12,753 --> 00:36:16,005
day in and day out,
we're more than simply curious
803
00:36:16,048 --> 00:36:18,842
as to any explanation
he can give us
804
00:36:18,885 --> 00:36:21,177
as to why no predators
have touched this carcass
805
00:36:21,221 --> 00:36:23,179
in nearly a year.
806
00:36:23,222 --> 00:36:27,809
So, I understand
you have the results of this...
807
00:36:27,894 --> 00:36:32,271
- Strange cow that we have on
- our south end of our property.
- -I do.
808
00:36:32,356 --> 00:36:34,293
With that animal being dead
that long, there's...
809
00:36:34,318 --> 00:36:36,253
There is gonna be
limited sampling.
810
00:36:36,277 --> 00:36:39,195
So the things that became
pertinent history to me
811
00:36:39,280 --> 00:36:44,159
were the fact that this animal
was untouched by predators.
812
00:36:44,244 --> 00:36:46,494
So I found that unusual.
813
00:36:46,538 --> 00:36:49,371
I had a conversation
with the lab,
814
00:36:49,416 --> 00:36:51,708
and he indicated
that certain types
815
00:36:51,793 --> 00:36:53,835
of poisons would cause predators
816
00:36:53,878 --> 00:36:56,588
to stay away
from those carcasses.
817
00:36:56,672 --> 00:37:00,132
Luckily, those are the things
that we could test for
818
00:37:00,219 --> 00:37:04,512
with these samples, so we tested
this animal for arsenic,
819
00:37:04,556 --> 00:37:07,641
cadmium, lead and then selenium.
820
00:37:07,726 --> 00:37:10,143
So, when we ran
these samples, though,
821
00:37:10,228 --> 00:37:13,813
all of these samples,
they were negative.
822
00:37:13,898 --> 00:37:17,233
The fact that
all toxicology reports
823
00:37:17,277 --> 00:37:19,818
came back negative,
it means this cow didn't die
824
00:37:19,905 --> 00:37:23,239
for any mundane reasons,
like accidentally eating poison.
825
00:37:23,282 --> 00:37:25,199
So what killed it?
826
00:37:25,244 --> 00:37:27,577
Why other animals refuse
to go near it
827
00:37:27,621 --> 00:37:29,496
still remains a big mystery.
828
00:37:29,581 --> 00:37:32,498
- This is...
- So, we're into the lungs.
829
00:37:32,583 --> 00:37:34,416
Lungs and heart.
830
00:37:34,460 --> 00:37:37,545
So, you're not seeing anything
that shows disease or...?
831
00:37:37,630 --> 00:37:38,922
Just the lungs.
832
00:37:39,007 --> 00:37:41,715
Last year,
immediately after the cow died,
833
00:37:41,802 --> 00:37:43,780
we had a vet perform
a necropsy on it
834
00:37:43,804 --> 00:37:45,614
to try and determine
the cause of death.
835
00:37:45,639 --> 00:37:49,431
We got a lot of consolidation
of the lungs right here.
836
00:37:49,476 --> 00:37:53,936
Most of this black color is
postmortem pooling of the blood.
837
00:37:54,981 --> 00:37:56,606
It's very, very possible
838
00:37:56,650 --> 00:37:58,983
that it is
stress-induced pneumonia.
839
00:37:59,068 --> 00:38:01,235
Cows, when they get stressed,
840
00:38:01,320 --> 00:38:02,778
stress will bring on pneumonia.
841
00:38:04,615 --> 00:38:07,701
You know,
we measured around the cow
842
00:38:07,786 --> 00:38:09,639
right after it died...
It had to be less than an hour
843
00:38:09,663 --> 00:38:11,329
after it died.
844
00:38:11,414 --> 00:38:13,289
High electric field measurements
845
00:38:13,333 --> 00:38:15,458
and high
magnetic field measurements.
846
00:38:15,543 --> 00:38:17,668
And that's one of the things
we thought that it
847
00:38:17,753 --> 00:38:19,398
might have been
electrical exposure,
848
00:38:19,422 --> 00:38:21,047
that could have,
849
00:38:21,132 --> 00:38:23,632
caused whatever, you know,
killed the cow.
850
00:38:23,719 --> 00:38:25,487
But have you ever seen
anything like that,
851
00:38:25,512 --> 00:38:27,137
or heard weird stories out here
852
00:38:27,179 --> 00:38:30,472
in the uinta basin where,
you know, people claim something
853
00:38:30,516 --> 00:38:33,393
rapidly killed their cows,
or anything along that order?
854
00:38:33,478 --> 00:38:35,478
Yeah, I've heard the stories,
but I don't...
855
00:38:35,521 --> 00:38:37,605
I don't personally know, um,
856
00:38:37,690 --> 00:38:39,648
how that would affect the...
The animal.
857
00:38:39,693 --> 00:38:42,610
With the electricity,
they'd probably have,
858
00:38:42,653 --> 00:38:45,280
petechia and microhemorrhages
859
00:38:45,324 --> 00:38:46,967
that you could see
throughout the body.
860
00:38:46,992 --> 00:38:50,201
I asked the lab, also,
about radiation,
861
00:38:50,286 --> 00:38:52,911
and they didn't feel like
that would chase predators off
862
00:38:52,998 --> 00:38:55,664
by doing that.
863
00:38:55,708 --> 00:38:59,753
So, I've told clients
my whole life that
864
00:38:59,838 --> 00:39:02,672
sometimes a negative answer
is still information.
865
00:39:02,715 --> 00:39:04,673
We still have ruled out things.
866
00:39:04,717 --> 00:39:07,594
- Yeah.
- -Even though
- in this particular case,
867
00:39:07,679 --> 00:39:10,054
given the length, the time
that this animal was dead,
868
00:39:10,139 --> 00:39:14,976
a definitive diagnosis why
this animal died can't be given.
869
00:39:15,771 --> 00:39:17,519
Yeah, thanks, dr. Taylor.
870
00:39:17,563 --> 00:39:20,356
We'll be in touch
if anything happens out here.
871
00:39:20,400 --> 00:39:21,648
All right, nice to meet you.
872
00:39:21,735 --> 00:39:23,693
- Thank you very much.
- -Yeah, you, too.
873
00:39:23,737 --> 00:39:25,945
- Have a good day.
- See you later.- All right, bye-bye.
874
00:39:26,030 --> 00:39:27,780
It's still crazy that
875
00:39:27,865 --> 00:39:29,844
even this veterinary
can't really say for sure
876
00:39:29,867 --> 00:39:31,492
what he thinks killed this cow
877
00:39:31,536 --> 00:39:34,704
- or why predators
did not eat it.
- Yeah, why it's still out there
878
00:39:34,789 --> 00:39:36,706
and nothing's touching it,
and there's,
879
00:39:36,791 --> 00:39:39,376
you know, dead deer carcasses
that have just been gone,
880
00:39:39,460 --> 00:39:41,340
like, you know,
instantly, almost.
881
00:39:41,380 --> 00:39:44,422
Well, we got a lot
of information.
882
00:39:44,507 --> 00:39:46,298
Most of it is non-information,
883
00:39:46,385 --> 00:39:48,300
but that
still tells us something.
884
00:39:48,387 --> 00:39:51,221
Actually,
knowing sometimes what the...
885
00:39:51,306 --> 00:39:52,847
The answer isn't
886
00:39:52,932 --> 00:39:54,932
at least helps us look
for different
887
00:39:55,018 --> 00:39:57,268
- possible answers.
- Right.
888
00:39:57,353 --> 00:40:00,730
Another mystery to figure out.
889
00:40:00,773 --> 00:40:03,065
I was really skeptical
when I heard
890
00:40:03,150 --> 00:40:05,693
all the crazy, bizarre stories
that people told
891
00:40:05,778 --> 00:40:07,612
about skinwalker ranch.
892
00:40:07,697 --> 00:40:10,739
Now I have to admit
that I have my own.
893
00:40:10,826 --> 00:40:14,244
I can't deny what kaleb and I
saw the other night.
894
00:40:14,329 --> 00:40:17,746
How is it connected
to what happened to that cow?
895
00:40:17,791 --> 00:40:20,375
And what does the petroglyph
have to do with it?
896
00:40:20,460 --> 00:40:24,378
Could it be a key clue that
might help reveal the truth?
897
00:40:24,463 --> 00:40:26,547
You know, thing with petroglyphs
898
00:40:26,590 --> 00:40:28,590
is it's a big guess.
899
00:40:28,635 --> 00:40:31,927
Nobody knows exactly
what story those are telling.
900
00:40:32,012 --> 00:40:34,972
But to find that on the ranch
adds mystery to:
901
00:40:35,057 --> 00:40:37,307
Who was it that put it there?
902
00:40:37,393 --> 00:40:38,934
What is it trying to tell us?
903
00:40:38,978 --> 00:40:41,186
What's the story that
they were trying to leave?
904
00:40:41,273 --> 00:40:44,106
One of the reasons
why I acquired the ranch
905
00:40:44,150 --> 00:40:47,110
in the first place
was due to the mystery,
906
00:40:47,153 --> 00:40:50,447
due to, you know,
the nature of the claims
907
00:40:50,532 --> 00:40:52,907
that were associated
with the property.
908
00:40:52,951 --> 00:40:54,909
I want to get some answers.
909
00:40:54,952 --> 00:40:56,952
I want to better understand
910
00:40:56,996 --> 00:40:59,456
what is causing the phenomenon
911
00:40:59,498 --> 00:41:02,876
that have not only occurred
under our watch,
912
00:41:02,960 --> 00:41:05,961
but for decades
if not millennia.
913
00:41:09,842 --> 00:41:11,842
- You got the trackers?
- Got the trackers.
914
00:41:11,887 --> 00:41:13,844
Each cow we put on the place
915
00:41:13,929 --> 00:41:15,554
becomes a biosensor.
916
00:41:15,639 --> 00:41:17,659
Animals seem to have
that sixth sense.
917
00:41:17,684 --> 00:41:20,976
Of all these phenomena that
happened when you were here,
918
00:41:21,021 --> 00:41:23,605
- what do you think it is?
- It's a portal.
919
00:41:23,690 --> 00:41:25,251
Have you ever tried
to open up a portal?
920
00:41:25,275 --> 00:41:28,150
That I haven't done, but we're
gonna give it a shot tonight.
921
00:41:28,195 --> 00:41:29,985
Yeah!
922
00:41:30,030 --> 00:41:32,322
There's a light
down in those trees.
923
00:41:32,407 --> 00:41:35,115
Got eyes of something over here!
Hey, hey, hey, right here!
924
00:41:38,204 --> 00:41:40,164
