For years, scientists have been working to reveal

the secrets of Skinwalker Ranch.

But is it possible that the clues to unlock the mystery

are located beyond the borders of this hub of high strangeness?

Now, an ex-CIA agent and a veteran journalist

have been recruited by the Skinwalker team

to go on a high-stakes mission across America.

Look at all this activity that’s happening.

- That’s unbelievable. - Oh, my gosh.

Look at that. Look at that, look at that.

The goal: uncover evidence

that may finally expose the truth.

What is that thing?

It’s getting more intense. You ever seen

- anything like this before? - No.

This is just the beginning.

Gentlemen, welcome back to the ranch.

I’m looking forward to finding out what we’ve got lined up

for the next part of our investigation.

Well, we’re happy to be back, and we think we’ve got

a really interesting story this time.

This is a ranch where not only do we have

a really interesting physical location,

but we’ve got a great human story.

Yeah, we’ve got a pretty good lead here.

It came out of the book The Hunt For The Skinwalker.

You’re talking about Kelleher

and George Knapp’s book?

- Right. - Right.

So what part of it is this from? What is the story?

There’s a whole section in that book called "Other Hot Spots,"

- right? - Mm-hmm.

Inside that book, they reference a ranch in Colorado.

And the story in the book references a family and

a series of strange events over the years,

but keeps the names involved completely hidden.

They’re pseudonyms. No name of the location.

That is kept concealed.

They called it Rocky Mountain Ranch.

We reached out to MUFON, Colorado MUFON,

and the head of Colorado MUFON is a woman named Katie Paige.

So this is a real puzzle to put together,

and Katie really is the keystone.

Turns out Katie Paige is part of that family living on the ranch

and has firsthand knowledge of this whole story.

- So she is an experiencer. - Correct.

Katie herself was an experiencer at age nine

on the ranch referenced in the book.

And when we got in contact with her, she actually turned us

on to a very little-known report that was filled out at the time

by a group called the Aerial Phenomena Research Organization,

the actual precursor to MUFON.

In 1978,

the Aerial Phenomena Research Organization, or APRO,

did a thorough investigation at an undisclosed location

in Colorado they code-named Rocky Mountain Ranch.

And the APRO report from the late ’70s documents

- a lot of this phenomena. - And the ranch itself

actually has a lot of the same strange phenomenon

that you have here on Skinwalker Ranch.

Now, going through this APRO report,

we find really detailed multi-witness accounts

of everything from orbs to electronic voices coming in

through technology that’s got no power,

humming sounds, multiple cryptid sightings.

Really, really strange phenomenon that was vetted

when the report was originally published in the 1970s,

but then somehow this report has gone unnoticed.

Nobody’s paid attention to it. It was mostly lost

until we connected with Katie,

and then Katie actually brought it to light for us.

And now Katie, reconstructing her own history,

has agreed to go back to the ranch with us.

’Cause she has never been back to the ranch.

This is gonna be her first time setting foot on that property

since she was eight, nine, ten years old.

- Oh, that’s fantastic. - And we have some

open questions, right? First, the current ranch owners.

What have they experienced? Have they seen anything strange

on the ranch? And records show that they’ve owned this ranch

for almost 30 years. And then what’s going to happen

to the ranch when we take Katie, a known experiencer,

back to the ranch? Will the ranch react?

If so, how will it react,

and what can we do to measure that reaction?

Yeah, that is the right question.

Yeah, and I’m really excited about there being a new place

that has almost identical... Reporting, anyway...

Of phenomenology, so I’d really like to see what commonalities

there are and what data you collect. So good luck, guys.

Yeah. Well, it’s go time.

Can’t wait to hear back from you.

All right.

Due to the sensitive nature of this investigation,

the current owners of Rocky Mountain Ranch have asked

for their names and location to be kept anonymous.

I am so excited about this story here

at Rocky Mountain Ranch because this place was sort of

Skinwalker before Skinwalker even happened, right?

I think Katie’s reaction to this is gonna be key for us, right?

Because, again, this is something she experienced

as a child, and over time, it’s sometimes hard to sort out

those memories, especially if it was something traumatic.

There might be a lot of stuff that she’s repressed.

- Yeah. - Going through this process

with her, combined with the data that we hopefully can gather

with, you know, new instrumentation that wasn’t

available could really open up some new information about this.

Now, Paul, we are in a little bit of a race

against the clock, ’cause we have a limited time to be here.

We’ve got a lot of ground to cover too, right?

So, I think, let’s go at it this way.

I can talk to Katie. You can go out to the ranch

and meet with the current owners and sort of see

what their experience has been, and then we’ll,

you know, try to regroup and see what’s going on.

- Yeah. Absolutely. - Good luck. Talk to you soon.

Tell me about your connection to the ranch.

Yeah, it’s kind of interesting. I mean, this is the mid-70s,

so my mom, she met a gentleman at work,

and that gentleman owns the ranch.

- How old were you at the time? - I’m nine to 12 years old.

Nine to 12. So you spent a lot of time out here?

Yeah, a little bit. Every time that

either my sister or I spent time on the ranch,

unusual things happened.

What I recall the most was,

it was, like, this heavy feeling of just being uneasy,

being watched.

Hi, there. Thanks so much for having me.

No problem, absolutely.

This is a really interesting place. I’m sure you know

some of the history about the property that you’re on.

Um, a little bit from what we were looking up online,

just some people talking about it.

You know, sometimes they see some lights in the sky.

I mean, we haven’t seen too much.

I mean, I think Dad has seen some before.

Yeah, I’ve seen some strange things in the sky.

You have? What have you seen?

Well, what it was, it was a whole string of lights.

- There was 27 of ’em. - Twenty-seven?

I was in the back porch,

and they were all in a perfect line.

- Wow. - And then they just...

They came from south to north, and then they made a curve,

and then they straightened back out

and then they just went out of sight.

Wow. How long ago was that?

Uh, about five years ago.

And when you first saw that, what did you think?

I didn’t know what to think.

I was like, "Well, that’s... That’s a UFO",

"because I don’t know anything that looks like that."

So, when you took over in the ’80s, did you take ownership

from the previous owners, or was it abandoned at the time?

It was abandoned. Nobody was living here.

But the fella, we just bought it from him.

But it was empty when we moved here.

- Yeah. - That’s interesting.

The scariest night at the ranch,

the adults were in the front room.

They were playing board games, as I recall.

It was, like, really late at night, to my memory,

and the three boys, my sister, and I were hanging out

in the boys’ bedroom.

So, all of a sudden, we hear, like, a...

Right.

Just like that. Just a hum.

And any time that hum sound would come,

you know something’s gonna happen.

Like... like, so everybody’s on edge.

So when the hum would happen, other things would happen?

Other things would happen. So everybody’s like,

"Oh, hold on, here we go." And when that humming started,

all the lights in the house went out.

And at that moment... And it was like a window

kind of like this... the bright, brighter than the sun light

comes through that window. Everybody’s freaking out,

but here’s the thing. It was, like, from every orifice

of the house, this electronic-sounding voice

comes out of the house, and it basically stated, you know,

"We have allowed you to remain."

"We’ve interfered with your lives very little."

"Your friends will be instructed to remain silent concerning us."

- "Concerning us." - "Concerning us."

- That must’ve been terrifying. - It was terrifying.

This has stayed with me and affects me still to this day.

I believe now that something connected to me then,

that night at that ranch.

In the 1978 APRO report,

the water cistern was one of the key areas on the ranch

where multiple strange anomalies were documented.

And this is the original cistern?

- Yes. - I’m actually gonna take

a few measurements here. I can walk you through everything.

- Sure. - Nothing secret.

We are gonna look for organic radiation,

and this is often a sign for us of whether or not

there could be something more happening around us.

All right, here we go. Oh, this is an interesting...

This is interesting right out of the gates, actually.

So you’re showing

150% higher radiation levels here

than what we would expect anywhere else.

It says 26.6 micrograms.

That is very, very elevated.

Not elevated to the place where you have to be afraid

of anything in terms of, like, you know, radiation poisoning

or radiation damage, but this is much higher than

what you would expect to see in any other

kind of natural forest or open place.

What is that noise?

Did you hear a noise?

I heard this, like, humming noise.

Well, that is a humming noise. I hear that too.

It’s coming from...

Have you heard that noise before?

Not that particular one, no.

You’ve never heard that before?

Does that guy still fly those planes anymore?

- No. - That doesn’t sound like

a plane or a drone.

That’s a pitched hum.

I don’t know what to make of that.

Whoa.

It’s kind of mind-boggling to me that in all the time that

you’ve been here, you haven’t heard that humming sound.

Your ranch is actually one of the best-documented locations

for strangeness that we’ve come across.

And one of those reports actually talks about

a specific phenomena that happened right here,

- right at this cistern. - Really?

There was noise coming from in this area at night,

in the evening, and then they came out here to investigate,

and the strange noises actually were so intimidating that

they ran back to the house and felt the phenomenon

- follow them back to the house. - Really? Wow.

We just started researching the cistern,

and now, out of nowhere, a humming sound starts

that the current ranch owners have never heard before.

The only difference between the APRO report and what’s happening

right now is that we’re running high-quality microphones,

and we’re actually capturing and recording

the sound that’s happening right now.

So I get to package this up

and send it back to Travis and Erik to take apart.

I think the next step is really just to connect with

my partner Paul and then start getting

the wheels rolling on the experiments.

- Great. - Let’s do it.

How are you feeling now? This is a big step.

You know, I’m feeling more emotional

- than I thought I would feel. - Right.

You know, I think the culmination of years

and years and years of research and wanting to find answers,

and that’s kind of all culminated to this very moment.

After almost 50 years, investigator Katie Paige is

returning to Rocky Mountain Ranch

for the first time since she experienced

terrifying strangeness there as a young girl.

Oh, my gosh.

- Oh, my goodness. - You look very excited.

Okay, so here’s the house.

I think maybe let’s pull up over here.

- Here. Okay. - We’ll start our tour.

All right.

Katie went through something really intense

when she was a kid. I’m actually amazed that

she is willing to come back out here and face it head-on.

I mean, you can really see the courage in this woman,

even as you still see this flicker of terror

in the ten-year-old girl inside her.

Katie, can you give me a sense of

what experiences you had out here personally?

Yeah. I mean, it’s interesting what we remember, because

I remember that night in the house and that humming sound.

So they would always hear hums and bangs underground.

So if you can believe it, we were just here earlier today

- and the hum came up. - Really?

A loud hum that the owners who have been here

for the last 30 years had never heard before.

You’re kidding me.

We were on site at the original cistern,

and I’ll take you there and show you exactly where we were.

I do recall that there was, you know, sounds and bangs

and other activity that would occur near the cistern up here.

As we were taking readings and measurements here,

we then heard a hum, a maddening, long-term,

frustrating hum that just seemed to fill up the entire area.

As if they knew we were back investigating.

What I’m feeling right now is that fear of everything,

’cause this isn’t a distant memory

that we were forbidden to talk about.

- Like, it’s physically here. - Right.

All right. So, Andy, do you wanna show us the silo?

Yeah. Sure. We can go that direction.

Okay. Yeah, I remember the silo

always gave me the creeps.

Why was it creepy to you?

You know, you were always feeling watched

and things were hiding behind things

and it’s always, like, a little unnerving.

All right, well, we got some weather coming in now, huh?

Katie, did you ever have anything happen

around the silo?

Not around the silo, but I just remember

always wanting to stay away from it.

This just was always an eerie place back here

behind the ranch house,

and the closer you got into the woods,

the creepier it got.

Is that empty in there now?

Yeah, it’s sort of fallen into disuse.

Oh, wow. Just saw an animal run that way.

- Really? - Yeah, I did.

It just ran right that way, so I don’t know what it was.

It wasn’t that large.

You’re sure you saw something?

I’m positive. 100%.

Where are the tracks?

There should be tracks, ’cause I just saw it.

Let’s just make sure we stay close together.

Yeah.

You see the tracks in the snow?

- Yes, look at that. - Yeah, look at that.

- Look at those. - Do we wanna

follow ’em for a little way?

Look at how they just end!

They just stop. They just end right here.

Just, boom. Right here, they end.

It goes right to a dead spot of snow.

- There’s nothing there. - No, that’s weird.

I see ’em there, and then nothing.

So this is maybe the last one, and then it just...

It’s just gone. There’s nothing.

Let’s walk this way to the tree line.

Do we see any tracks?

Definitely getting a little creepier back in here.

Seeing those footprints is a little unnerving.

As the team approaches another hotspot

of high strangeness in the 1978 APRO report,

the tree line on the northern part of the ranch,

Andy wants to test the radio frequency spectrum

for any anomalies.

Katie, what we’re looking for here are

some very specific frequencies that seem to pop up

time and again whenever we’re in

these areas of concentrated strangeness.

When the Skinwalker team encounters

strange phenomena, they often detect a 1.6 gigahertz signal

on a spectrum analyzer.

1.6 gigahertz is in a privileged radio frequency zone

that’s reserved for Earth-to-space

and space-to-Earth communication.

Paul, you gotta see this, man. Look at this.

- What we got? - Look at this activity.

- Oh, my gosh. - Wow.

We’re seeing readings at 1.6, 1.7, and 1.9.

Look at that. Look at that spike at 1.7

- and then back to 1.9. - That just went way up.

So something is causing these huge energy spikes.

If this was a man-made signal...

- There it goes again. - We would expect the energy

to be very consistent.

We’ve seen spikes at 1.6 before, but we’ve never seen

this much activity across this whole range.

Exactly right. This is a ton of radio energy in a remote area.

After seeing these radio frequencies so active

and so intense, it absolutely confirms in my mind

that we need to do some kind of radio test while we’re here.

There is something on this ranch

that seems to be trying to communicate.

What happens if we communicate back?

Jares, I really appreciate you coming out

and helping us with this. We have a lot of equipment that

we’ve already been able to set up, but I can tell that

- you’ve brought some new stuff. - Oh, yeah.

I can see you already have a spectrum analyzer over there,

and this one’s gonna be significantly more sensitive.

To test the idea that some kind of phenomenon

at Rocky Mountain Ranch might be trying to communicate

with Katie and team, Andy and Paul have brought in

engineer and ham radio specialist, Jares Doverspike,

to help them try to communicate back.

I brought this receiver here, and I know that you’re

wanting to be able to transmit on the 1.6 gigahertz frequency,

so I also brought this one.

- This is a transmitter? - Correct.

For this experiment, they are going to broadcast

on the 1.6 gigahertz frequency

that is correlated with high strangeness at Skinwalker Ranch.

We’re gonna be broadcasting a sweep across

this 1.6 gigahertz part of the spectrum

where we’re getting these weird signals here on the ranch.

We’re going to hopefully stimulate

the biggest response so far.

The only way to legally transmit a human voice

at 1.6 gigahertz all the way into space

is to use a ham radio.

Since I am a ham radio operator, I have to follow the law.

However, there’s this thing that I can take advantage of

called harmonics, which means that whenever you transmit at

a specific frequency, there’s some energy that will be

translated to every single multiple of that.

So what this is gonna allow us to do is essentially, like,

shout into a cave and create an echo that does echo

- at the frequency we want. - Yes.

I’m really excited about the new direction

we’re gonna be taking things here. I mean,

location after location, we have gotten strange readings

on the spectrum analyzer in this 1.6 gigahertz bandwidth.

For the first time, we’re gonna try and talk back

on that bandwidth, and I am really wondering what...

You know, what kind of results we’re gonna get.

I mean, the piece of the puzzle here is that back in 1976

when Katie was here with her family,

there was some kind of broadcast that came through

stereo equipment that was essentially turned off.

So if we can do anything to trigger that kind of signal,

we wanna pick it up with this kind of equipment.

And this is the physical place

where voices were heard through radios during the blackout.

So we’re gonna recreate that situation.

So what we’re gonna do is set up these old AM radios,

and we will have them tuned to basically just static,

to an empty band, to an empty channel.

The plan is after they broadcast a voice

at 1.6 gigahertz into the atmosphere,

they will use multiple radios placed inside the house

to monitor for any audio anomalies

coming through the radio speakers.

They’ve also placed a highly sensitive microphone

next to the radios to capture

and graphically display any response.

So Jares, here’s where we’re actually porting in from

that microphone. So if we start to see significant variation

in the amplitudes of these, then we’ll know that

there’s something that’s being transmitted through

those AM radio channels.

I think we have everything that we need

set up for tonight’s experiment.

All we need to do now is grab Katie and Nicole.

The real objective that we have here is if this ranch

is trying to communicate, then this is our chance

to knock on the wall and see if it knocks back.

- Okay. - Let’s see.

We’re gonna split up into teams.

Katie, if you’ll stay here with me and and Jares.

We’re gonna monitor everything on this side.

And then Paul, you’re taking Nicole?

We’ll be out behind the house scanning these skies.

And then we’ll be in touch on walkies.

If you guys see anything of significance, let us know.

And if we see anything on our side, we’ll call you back.

- Sounds good. - All right.

Let’s do it.

All right, Jares. You wanna turn this guy up

and see if we’re picking up any incoming transmissions?

Absolutely.

All right, Paul, we are set and ready to go,

getting ready to send a signal at 1.6 gigahertz.

I’m gonna count down from five for you. Is that good?

Copy you. We are eyes on the sky.

All right, stand by. Here we go. Five, four, three, two, one.

So far I have nothing.

I got nothing.

So if we want to, or what I’d like to do, is,

Katie, how do you feel about sending a transmission?

Yeah.

KN4 having a secondary person operating under my station.

Do you remember me, my sister, and the three boys?

We’re back, and we’d like to talk to you.

Oh, my gosh! Did you see that reaction?

- Yeah, it just went "Whoo!" - Holy smokes!

We just had a massive reaction from the house

when Katie sent that transmission.

- Get out of here. - Look at this.

No, man. I can’t... I’m not even making it up.

Look at this!

What kind of reaction?

Tons of energy coming from the house.

I’ve got goosebumps up and down my body right now.

- Oh, my God. - Oh, my God.

The house is absolutely reacting to Katie’s voice.

It is amazing to see.

So I’m communicating with something in the house?

Do you have any explanation for that?

I do not have any explanations.

Hey, we better get you and Nicole in here.

You gotta see this for yourselves.

- We’ll head in. - All right,

we’re waiting for you, man,

before we do anything next.

- We’re on our way. - Unbelievable.

That’s unbelievable. Nicole, you live here...

- Uh, yeah. - So I want you to see it.

And then Paul, this is, I mean, this is what we’ve been chasing.

- Yeah. - I’d like to transmit

the exact same way when Katie starts talking.

Okay.

Remember me, Katie, my sister, and the three boys

that were on this ranch?

We are back and we want to talk to you.

Whoa, whoa!

There’s definitely...

I don’t know what kind of response it is,

but there is a response.

I’m just sitting here with my mouth open.

What is that?

I don’t understand it. I don’t understand it at all.

Jares, if you have an explanation...

I have zero explanations. None whatsoever.

Well, I’m just wondering, does this correlate...

Could this correlate with that disembodied

electrical voice that we heard in the house?

The original structure seems to consistently respond to Katie.

- She’s the trigger right here. - She’s the trigger.

Like, there’s a connection.

Like, it attached decades ago

and it’s never left me and that’s always what I’ve felt.

It’s just never left me.

Man, this ranch is weird.

What’s so striking to me is just the layer upon layer

of evidence that we’re seeing here, right?

And they seem to be compounding and proving each other true.

Right? We’re not only able to confirm

what the original APRO report said with our own experiences,

I heard humming right there at the cistern.

- Did you hear a noise? - I heard this humming noise.

Well, that is a humming noise. I hear that too.

We’re sitting here watching massive radiation readings,

talking to the current residents here, hearing humming

right there along with them. This place is absolutely proving

to be everything that was reported in the 1970s.

And, you know, the radio experiment.

Yeah, I mean, I have never seen anything like what we did

with that radio experiment.

We are back and we want to talk to you.

Whoa, whoa!

I can’t get it out of my head, man.

It certainly seems like this ranch reacts.

What I’m trying to figure out is where best to go next.

This ranch is absolutely trying to communicate.

We’ve taken some very gentle approaches

to try to communicate back.

I wonder what happens if we get more intense.

One thing we might want to think about

is what they’ve done on Skinwalker is use rockets

and see if somehow we can trigger any further activity.

You know, a rocket experiment is a great next step.

We know the team at Skinwalker was able to use rockets

to trigger UAP activity.

- We are ready for launch in... - Three, two, one. Ignition. Go.

All right, team. Keep your eye on it.

Whoa, whoa, whoa. Wait, what’s this right here. What’s this?

- What’s this? - We got something!

We got something! We got something right here.

Guys, we just had a UAP appear.

We want to use some basic rockets that just launch up

to altitude and see if we can’t use those rockets to trigger

some kind of reaction.

I mean, just go right at it head on.

Yeah, I mean, head on is exactly what the rockets do.

We’re basically gonna go from trying to knock on the door

to trying to kick the door in.

Just barge right through it.

You know, that might be poking at it enough

to get some kind of reaction.

Yeah. I think we’ve got a plan.

Yeah, absolutely.

- Hey, guys. - Good morning.

- Good morning. - How are you?

Great day to launch some rockets.

Yes, sir. Thank you.

Let’s see if we can get something out there for you.

Paul and Andy are meeting with Skinwalker Ranch’s

rocket experts from Loc Precision to conduct experiments

at Rocky Mountain Ranch, where Katie Paige experienced

high strangeness as a young girl.

Their first rocket launch will be near the tree line

where Katie, Andy, and Paul found mysterious tracks

to nowhere.

Look at this trail.

It goes right to a dead spot of snow.

- There’s nothing there. - No.

And received strange radio frequency spikes.

We’ve seen spikes at 1.6 before, but we’ve never seen

this much activity across this whole range.

This is a ton of radio energy in a remote area.

Greg and I will be on stand by as the retrieval team,

so we’ll have a second set of eyes seeing what behavior

the rockets show on the way up and on the way down

and then we’ll be able to pick up anything

- that’s left on the ranch. - Katie and I will

stay here with you, and we’ll be in touch

with these guys the whole time, spotting and tracking.

All right, time to go to work.

The first medium sized rocket should reach

an altitude of 2,500 feet.

The team will watch for anything

out of the ordinary over this hot spot,

such as a failed takeoff or changes in the flight path,

which could signify an unknown force or object in the sky.

All right, skies are clear, pads armed,

and we are going in five, four, three, two, one.

Wow.

All right, everybody keep your eyes out.

- Yep. - Definitely a straight flight.

Yeah, still holding at about 22 degrees north,

right above the tree line.

Okay. I just lost it.

Can’t see it.

- There it is. - I see it too.

She’s trucking still dead north.

- All right, good luck, guys. - Thanks, man.

All right. Probably 100 yards.

Yeah, it’s coming down right in line over these trees

to the left of that smaller red barn.

I’m not seeing it, Greg.

All right, Paul. We are not seeing it yet.

So this one has drifted quite a bit to the north

and to the east, so we’re gonna have to go hunting

a little bit more.

This rocket, it’s nowhere near the last heading

that was reported. This is starting to look

a lot like the rocket that went off course

at Skinwalker Ranch.

- There it goes, there it goes.

Wow!

What was that bend all about?

It cocked dramatically to the north so it couldn’t go up

through the beam.

What in the crap?

So there better be some upper-level winds

that would explain that out of the north.

What wind?

Why don’t we take all this stuff and we’ll start

getting it so we can get the next launch site set up

while they’re out recovering

while we still got some daylight?

Greg, is that it? Is that it?

- Yeah, there it is. - Holy.

What’s it doing over here? This is way off course.

Yeah, that’s it right there. Look at that. Look at that.

- I’ll come with you. - Yeah, come on out, man.

All right. We got eyes on the package, Paul.

I am in route to retrieve it.

Great news. Thanks, Andy.

All right. I was getting worried about you guys.

I was worried, man. We had just given up the hunt

and then we found it in some place

we just didn’t expect to see it.

So was it just totally off course?

- Way off course. - ’Cause, I mean,

I had a clear view until it disappeared.

You know, I thought I had a clean line of sight.

- Where was it? - It took a hard right turn

after you guys saw it pass over the horizon.

I don’t know how it did that.

That just doesn’t make any sense.

It’s not that windy, it didn’t go that high.

How did we get two miles out?

I’m glad that we found it because it gives us

the data point that we need to confirm

that there was something strange about that launch.

- Absolutely. - So, yeah,

this is our second location.

Cistern is where all kinds of weird things have happened.

Absolutely, I mean, Greg and I experienced the humming noise

here at the cistern.

- Did you hear a noise? - I heard this humming noise.

Have you heard that noise before?

Not that particular one, no.

You’ve never heard that before?

Now the team is prepping

a six-foot pitbull rocket

that’s large enough to carry a payload,

including a Trifield meter,

spectrum analyzer, and altimeter.

For this launch, they will fire the rocket from the cistern

where Andy and the current ranch owners witnessed a strange hum.

- Let’s get to it. - Absolutely.

All right. Should we head to the Jeep?

Yes, we should.

Pads armed and going.

Five, four, three, two, one.

Wow!

It’s like... it’s like it hit a wall up there.

She’s dropping.

All right, guys, heads up, heads up.

- Backsliding. - Whoa.

. What is going on?

No delay, no delay.

We have eyes on it. We are en route.

Yeah, the rocket is probably trashed,

but I think your equipment will be all right.

You think? So did the chute just not deploy?

The motor didn’t pop a charge.

Wow. Why would the chute not deploy?

- Is it just engine failure? - Look at that.

That’s it right there.

The one time that we’ve got gear on board, it fails.

Correct.

Hey, Paul. This is Andy. We have the rocket retrieved.

Andy, we’re gonna come down and meet you at the shop.

Thank you, sir.

So the black powder just didn’t go off at all?

It doesn’t look like it at all.

Is that unusual? I mean...

- Very. - Very unusual?

All right. Here’s your stuff. Well, okay. Light’s on.

That’s good news.

- Here we got... - Okay.

- Yep, everything’s... - My Trifield took a nosedive.

We should still have recording

all the way to impact before impact.

I’d be curious to see how that works out.

Altimeter recorded no flight.

- No flight? - What?

How would that happen?

I mean, that’s a pretty basic piece of equipment.

I mean, you turn it on and it should just...

Yeah, I mean, it’s basic as they come.

Like, you turn it on, it records.

When there’s altitude, it just realizes it.

- 100%. - Maybe it didn’t really fly.

It really fell.

Well, the Trifield proves that part.

Sounds like we need to analyze the footage,

we need to record what data we can

and then ship it off to Erik and Travis.

All right, let’s just break it all down.

Paul and Andy, I’m very anxious to have your return report

on the Rocky Mountain Ranch experience.

Brace yourselves for what we’ve got here.

Yeah, this place was wild.

On top of everything that we were prepared for

when we arrived at Rocky Mountain Ranch,

it just got stranger after we actually started putting

boots on the ground, and we even had experiences ourselves.

So, one of the known areas of anomalous activity

on the ranch is actually centered around the cistern.

So, we wanted to launch rockets from the cistern

with a payload inside to measure radio spectrum energy,

Trifield energy, and altimeter and see if we can’t

get some meaningful data out of a launch in an anomalous area.

Well, and the rocket itself is also a sensor

in that if there’s some kind of atmospheric anomaly

or something that will push the rocket around,

you can watch its trajectory and see things happen. Right?

- Absolutely. - So we used a pitbull rocket

provided by Loc Precision because Loc Precision

- has worked here on Skinwalker. - Those guys are great.

And we asked Loc Precision what can we do here

to as closely as possible replicate

the same type of process that you use here

- on Skinwalker Ranch. - That’s great.

That is very good. I like it.

So this is what happened.

- Yeah. - Wow.

It’s like... it’s like it hit a wall up there.

Give me a pop sideways.

Yeah, no rejection of it.

No delay.

It reached an altitude of 1,800 feet and then seemed to die.

We had the rocket actually fail to deploy its shoot,

so it didn’t work according to its operating procedures.

We also were able to capture footage from inside.

So the rocket launched, which showed very steady readings.

So I’ve paused it just after it reaches apogee

and right before it appears to start.

Jumped up suddenly to a spike in voltage

up to 100-something volts per meter.

- Yes. - Wow.

And we do not know what to make of this.

You’ve encountered a region

of high electric field very briefly.

Either you went through it or you were hit by it.

One or the other.

So the secondary explosive

that was supposed to launch the parachute also failed.

So what that means is something happened

to keep the igniters from setting off the charge.

Was there a camera on the outside of the rocket?

- Yes, sir. - There is.

Wait. Stop, back it up a little bit.

Right there.

So we just heard something mechanical.

I think there was an impulse hit.

I interpreted that as the beginning of the turbulence

of the tumble. You’re saying that could have been...

That was an impulse response. That was that.

Something created a huge spike in the electric field.

What could it have been?

The rocket was ground and something...

Like lightning to an airplane, but there was no lightning,

there was no cloud. So what?

This is really a key piece of data.

- I’m glad we have it. - Now going through this,

I want to show you a result that’s specific to Katie.

Our plan was to go out and execute a radio test

where we would try to transmit a 1.6 gigahertz frequency

using a harmonic within the ham radio bands.

When we were transmitting, we were also measuring energy

coming back to us through a set of AM radios

that were set to open channels.

So effectively, what we have is a discrete spectrum analyzer.

We have a multi spectral sensor.

- There we go. - All right. So at this point,

we’re letting Katie transmit on the transmitter.

We are back and we want to talk to you.

Whoa!

You know, guys, I get the real sense that this space

is responding to Katie’s return.

It’s like the ranch recognizes her.

You know, we’ve seen things like that here on Skinwalker

where it’s as if the phenomenon is familiar with someone

as they come back and things start to happen.

We absolutely want to follow up on this.

So now let me show you what happened

when I took a walk about with the family that’s there now.

We actually went to one of the known hot spots

from the APRO report. According to the APRO report,

that cistern was known for having humming noises

and underground vibrations. A metallic hum turned on.

What is that noise?

- Did you hear a noise? - I heard this humming noise.

Oh, that is a humming noise. I hear that too.

In the distance, it seemed to envelop

everything in the environment.

Do you have an audio recording?

- We do. - Let’s hear it.

All right, Erik, I just sent you the audio file of the humming.

Oh, wow. We’re looking at both the time domain

and the frequency domain. I’m going to play the recording

and we’re going to listen for that hum that you’ve described.

It’s clear.

There is a very clearly audible tone.

Is that the tone that you were telling?

Okay, so if we do the analysis of this portion here,

here is the frequency content and right here,

one thing that jumps right out at me,

is around 400 Hertz we have this peak.

Yeah, very distinct.

That is in fact what we’re hearing.

So what we’re hearing is a hum at 400 Hertz.

Here’s one thing that I can’t help but notice.

I’ve heard this before.

It’s what the sound of the power systems and aircraft

and spacecraft make because we run them at 400 Hertz

and it is exactly at the right frequency

and it sounds... I mean, I’ve heard it before

and that’s exactly what it sounds like.

That’s typically something you see from the Air Force,

from the Intelligence community, or from NASA.

So just so I understand this, in layman’s terms,

what we’re hearing here is the sound of either

advanced aircraft electronics or spacecraft electronics?

Not electronics, power systems.

And that’s the main power system frequency.

I don’t know what this is,

but it sounds exactly like the main frequency sound

that you get from spacecraft.

Yes. However, there are other features in the frequency domain

way out here on the high end.

Do you have any thoughts on why we’d be seeing 17.16?

You know, that’s so high.

That’s right on the edge of what I can hear.

There’s frequencies are right above what you can hear.

It can cause irritation, it can cause sleeplessness.

Imagine this. What if, for some reason,

somebody doesn’t want people looking into this place

and they want to drive you nuts and run you away. Right?

And if you had something like a high altitude aerial asset

that could broadcast a frequency that drives you nuts.

And the 400 Hertz could be the power system

for whatever that thing is.

Well, that’s an interesting thought.

I mean, this is almost a sonic weapon.

Yes, that’s exactly what it is.

This could very well be something that could be used

to make people not feel good while they’re at this location

and to leave.

Rocky Mountain Ranch seems to give off the vibe

and have all of the tell tale signs that it could possibly be

like another Skinwalker Ranch.

And to find other locations that are part of this class

of special places where we get to see

this kind of phenomenology,

especially when we have the attached history

such as we had here at the Rocky Mountain site,

that is invaluable.

All right. Well, we’re just getting started.

Stay with it, fellas.

- Let’s start a revolution. - Thanks for joining us.

- Thank you very much. - Thank you, man.

Always a pleasure.
