Original subtitles

THOMAS: I've arranged for a crane

to lift a lot of these big rocks at the bottom of the mesa.

This 1.6 gigahertz signal

seems to be coming from right there, where that big crane is.

ERIK: We're going to probe that space

down at the triangle.

Kaleb will be releasing projectiles.

Holy cow.

BRANDON: There's something following the helicopter.

REYES: What the heck is flying

around in my state?

NARRATOR: There is a ranch in Northern Utah.

It is considered the epicenter

of the strangest and most disturbing phenomena on Earth:

animal mutilations,

bizarre UFO sightings

and unusual energies that have proven harmful to humans.

For 20 years, the federal government

tried to find answers and failed.

Now a new team of dedicated scientists,

researchers and experts has taken over.

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

...The Secret of Skinwalker Ranch.

AARON: You guys cleared out a spot.

KALEB: Yeah.

THOMAS: Made it out, huh?

Yeah, we made it.

TRAVIS: Over the past four years,

it's been extremely challenging for our team to determine

what is actually causing all the bizarre phenomena

that happens on Skinwalker Ranch.

THOMAS: So, uh, looks a little different

from the last time you were here.

TRAVIS: But now, we've invited Aaron Blunt

and his team from Straight Shot Drillers

back to the ranch to begin a new drilling operation

at a very specific location on the mesa

where we hope to finally get some answers.

Do you think you'll be able to get the drill

actually up in here, in an area right there

-where he's been cleared out? -AARON: Yep.

We can get her up in here.

You guys have done a good job.

BRYANT: Boy, that thing sounds like it's hitting something.

Hard.

TRAVIS: It's right in this spot

where, last year, we drilled up against

a massive 400-foot-long dome-shaped object.

We're coming up about 11 inches every ten feet.

So, it sounds like you're describing kind of a V.

It could even be... maybe a dome.

THOMAS: What is that?

TRAVIS: The drill didn't penetrate it,

but we did obtain metallic fragments

that could be from its surface.

BRYANT: There's no telling how much

of this metallic crap there is still in that hillside.

TRAVIS: Scientific analysis revealed to us

that those fragments were made up of materials

that are similar to what's used on the exterior

of the space shuttle for protection from extreme heat

during reentry into the Earth's atmosphere.

-I know you did another survey. -We did quite a few more.

-That's actually got some data, right? -Absolutely.

I would love to see that.

TRAVIS: So then, three weeks ago,

we continued new ground-penetrating radar scans

over the mesa at that exact location.

PETE: Hello.

-Look at that. -JAN: Look at that.

TRAVIS: And that operation detected a second, possibly metallic

vertical anomaly behind the dome-shaped object

that's almost as tall as the mesa.

I can't tell you what that is, but it is highly anomalous.

TRAVIS: I mean, we've got, uh,

ground-penetrating radar data now

indicating that there might be

another vertical object in there that's a hundred feet high.

-Wow. -TRAVIS: The data suggests that it was, uh,

about 20 feet wide this way,

uh, so hopefully we'll-- we can get in there and hit it.

THOMAS: So, last year,

we hit that hard object about the bottom of that mesa,

and we've-- you were never able to get that drill bit

to push up through it.

So, this year, the hope is, by coming up

a little bit higher, get in at that point.

Start in up above it this time, huh?

THOMAS: Mm-hmm.

Maybe we'll have a better chance

of pushing through whatever that is.

AARON: Okay.

TRAVIS: Since we couldn't penetrate the underside

of the dome-shaped object when we drilled last year,

this time, we want to drill into it from above.

Hopefully, we can not only get better evidence

of what that is but also figure out

whatever the vertical anomaly behind it is, too.

ERIK: So, we're talking about

300 feet in,

and about 2.5 degrees off of north.

Now, I don't know how precisely you can direct that thing.

Is that a reasonable target?

AARON: Yeah, it-it seems reasonable.

-Okay. -TRAVIS: I think that's everything.

We just need to start getting set up.

-That works for me. -THOMAS: Okay.

TRAVIS: All right, let's get going.

Thanks, guys.

(engine starts)

Let's use this table to stage.

-ERIK: Yep. -Erik, you want to set up on that side

-with the monitors and everything? -Okay.

ERIK: We're accustomed to seeing signals

in the vicinity of 1.6 gigahertz

when we're making changes to the landscape.

Even small changes like drilling.

TRAVIS: Right there is perfect if you can get it to stay up.

We got to run cables now.

ERIK: I've got a spectram device connected to the antennas,

the Yagis that are out in the field with us

and we'll be looking especially, of course,

in that 1.6 gigahertz frequency range,

and to see if there is an increase in activity here.

THOMAS: You guys gonna be okay if I go up there

and watch him drill for a little bit?

-That's actually a good idea. -Okay.

AARON: Perfect. I think we're good there.

(engine starts)

BRYANT: Given the fact that we've heard

so many different stories about the mesa,

whether it be underground caves, bases,

even spaceships flying into it.

I don't know what we're gonna uncover,

but I hope it's something important,

and I'm anxious to find out.

THOMAS: Let's get drilling.

AARON: It's going now.

Hey, guys, they've started pushing the drill in.

TRAVIS (over radio): Okay.

Yell if they hit something interesting.

THOMAS: Absolutely.

We'll keep you posted the minute we see anything unusual.

TRAVIS: As excited as we were for answers,

we knew it might be a day or more

to reach our targets inside the mesa.

So, while we were overseeing the operation...

TOM: You guys want to sit here?

MIKEY: All righty, thank you.

TRAVIS: ...over at Homestead One...

TOM: Thank you so much for coming.

-I'm glad this worked out. -KANDUS: I know.

TRAVIS: ...Kandus Linde and Tom Lewis met with Mikey Rivers

and Peter Yount,

two local Ute tribal members

who reached out to share personal and potentially

valuable information about Skinwalker Ranch.

TOM: Now, it's amazing that you're here.

Why don't you give us some background

on where you're from, where you grew up?

I grew up in Neola, Utah.

Way by the mountains up there.

Growing up, I always heard stories of the ranch

and this area,

this Skinwalker Ranch, has always been cursed,

evil, whatever you want to call it.

Was it some place that you were scared to go?

Yeah, most definitely.

Yeah.

-We were told not to go. -Yeah.

We were told not to go.

There was a lot of phenomena that we would see.

But if you did experience something,

you kept it to yourself because you didn't want to get shunned

by the other tribes or other tribal members.

TRAVIS: The Ute people have been handing down accounts

of strange phenomena

and mysterious, shape-shifting creatures in the area

that are known as skinwalkers

dating back centuries.

Usually, they won't talk about it with anyone

outside their tribe,

so whenever members are willing to open up

to us, our team takes it very seriously and listens

with the utmost respect.

KANDUS: Do you think it's changing now?

Like, the generations are more open to talk about it?

In my opinion, I think this

investigation is opening a lot of doors.

Those who keep quiet are slowly coming forward.

-Yeah. -TOM: I think, throughout

the Uintah Basin, the majority

of people out here have experienced something strange...

-Yeah. -...they cannot define,

and it's extremely important

for brave people like yourselves

to-to come out and just-just talk about it.

MIKEY: Mm-hmm.

TOM: Have you ever seen anything

you couldn't describe or...?

Well...

have you guys heard of the path of the Skinwalker,

-by any chance? -Yes. Oh, yes.

BRANDON: The ridge of the mesa that runs the expanse of this property

has always historically been known as Skinwalker Ridge.

And the Utes and the Navajo had always, for generations,

referred to this property as being

in the path of the Skinwalker,

the shapeshifting demonic figure from a curse

that was placed on the property.

MIKEY: My grandmother used to say that, um, skinwalkers

use these old pathways to get

-from one area to another. -Okay.

And many paths would converge back into

the Skinwalker Ranch area.

One night, we were driving south,

and we came up to the south end,

way down there on the road, and we seen the skinwalker.

Literally, maybe from...

from me to the-the gate right here,

the-the fence line.

What was odd about it was

it was, like, almost-- it looked human, but almost feline.

It literally crawled on all fours

from one end of the road to the other.

Looked up once at us, and it was as if it was startled

and crawled even faster away from us.

-Really? -MIKEY: Yeah.

Yeah, that would be one example.

Other experiences include, one night,

around the year...

2013, it was about July, if I remember correctly.

We saw these fluorescent

lights coming up the highway.

I was stupid enough to park the car and watch these lights.

About a dozen of them, in that south field over there.

They were, like, blue, green, and maybe purple.

Until, uh, one of them, like,

kind of started going towards us.

-Came toward you? -Yeah.

-Yeah. -It did feel like they were threatening us.

TOM: Wow.

-MIKEY: We got so scared. -TOM: Wow.

MIKEY: Right after that, we took off,

but we all got sick that night.

-TOM: Sick how? -Like a, like nausea-feeling, headache.

KANDUS: How long did that sickness last?

Eh, I'd say... just a few hours.

So, once you were gone from here...

MIKEY: Yeah, once we got home up in Neola,

we...

we all got better. (laughs)

That's something that I've experienced,

and others on the ranch have experienced.

TRAVIS: In recent years, members of our team,

as well as people who we've invited

to the ranch to help in our investigations,

have suddenly had really strange and disturbing health episodes.

THOMAS: My head is killing me.

-BRYANT: That's not all right. -It's just throbbing.

Hold on. Hey.

-Are you okay? -No.

BRYANT (over walkie): Tom is experiencing stuff.

-He blacked out. -KANDUS: Are you serious?

TRAVIS: So it was even more intriguing

that Mikey had similar experiences.

And it was really incredible that he believed

he saw numerous orbs, or UAPs, in the south field,

and that one of those orbs had even stalked him.

It's very interesting because that's a-a common

phenomenon that happens here, um, people will feel ill

when they're on the ranch,

but once they get away, you know, that's when

they start to feel better, so...

Now, is that 'cause of the...

Uh, like, uh... Is it almost like

a-an electric, uh, field around here, or is...

That's a great question, and that's-that's something

the physicists are trying to figure out.

You know, the strangeness is the--

just the variability of it.

We don't know when it's gonna happen,

where it's going to happen, and...

Who it's gonna affect?

-KANDUS: Yeah. -Who it's going to affect.

I've-I've gone through many reservations

and talked to many Natives, and

they all, we all, have the same thing.

When you see something like that, you stay away

because, usually, things attach

to our spirits or our bodies, and...

you never know, you just never know.

TOM: Well, thank you for your courage,

and thank you so much for coming to the ranch...

-Oh, thank you for having us. -...and making time for us. -KANDUS: Anytime.

Anything you need, just ask.

PETER: Sounds perfect.

THOMAS: How far in are you, Aaron?

60 feet.

Sixty?

He's 60 feet into the mesa so far.

Well, let us know if you see anything.

THOMAS (over radio): Copy that.

TRAVIS: Later that afternoon,

the drilling process was well underway,

but since we were still more

than a couple hundred feet from our targets inside the mesa...

BRYANT: Unfortunately, there's only one way to the top.

TRAVIS: ...Dragon and Kaleb hiked over

a hundred feet up above the drill site

with a snake camera

to see if they could find the opening between

some of the boulders that we discovered last year.

Let me go ahead and lower this one in.

TRAVIS: It was there that Dragon and Thomas fed a camera

down nearly 30 feet below the surface and

got footage of some kind of metallic object.

BRYANT: It definitely looks like

it's reflecting something off of there.

THOMAS: What is that?

TRAVIS: We weren't able to figure out

what it was or if it was related

in some way to the dome-shaped anomaly,

but since we recently removed

some boulders off the face of the mesa,

we wanted to see if we could find it again

and maybe get a better look at it.

(grunts) There looks like a lot more debris

than there used to be.

Or it's a different spot, and we just--

-there's more of it down there. -BRYANT: Maybe. I mean, every time

Thomas and I tried to...

drop it down in there

last time, it was, like,

it almost went down a different channel each time.

There's so many different little openings, gosh dang it.

Oh, you're going a little bit more.

No, no, it's that rock right there,

I get to that point and then it...

it just stops right there.

You know what? There's a few other openings around here.

We'll stop the recording on this one, wrap this up,

and then we'll poke around and see if we can

-find somewhere else to do it. Awesome. -All right.

BRYANT: Ever since last year,

when Thomas and I noticed

this crazy metal object

that seemed to be out of place,

I've wanted to get back and see if we can reidentify that

and find it and possibly get a sample.

BRYANT: Where you thinking?

KALEB: So, right there, it's not gonna go very far.

-BRYANT: But the backside? -On this side...

-Yeah. -Yeah.

If you get the right angle,

that's always the key.

BRYANT: Okay, hey, we can try it. We got it here.

Let me get this sucker up again.

Let's see if we run into any critters.

All right, let me try something here real quick.

Whoa, look at that pink stuff,

What in the hell is that?

-You see that, right there? -Oh, yeah, right there.

BRYANT: That doesn't look natural

or like it should be there. Look at that.

I mean, it's just a completely different color.

-Should I keep going? -Yeah.

Or should I mark this first?

Oh, mark it first and then...

Okay, so we're basically...

Right there

is where it's at.

BRYANT: It was a bit disappointing

that we couldn't find a metal object,

but it's very interesting to see this pink rock,

and Travis and Erik need to get their eyes on it as well.

Well, I'd call this success with finding

-the pink rock. -Yep, I agree.

BRYANT: Now that we've got these amazing images of this pink rock,

we're gonna go ahead and send those off for analysis,

and I know Erik and Travis will be extremely curious

to see what happens with them, and so am I.

All right, let's roll.

-DAVID: What's up, Kaleb? -Oh,

-hey, David. -Hey there.

-How you doing, man? -Yeah.

-Good to see you. -Good to see you, man.

TRAVIS: Later that evening,

after we wrapped up

our drilling operation for the day...

-THOMAS: Yeah, welcome to the ranch. -Yeah, thank you.

TRAVIS: ...we welcomed a colleague of mine

to the ranch named David Mason.

He's a UAP researcher who I thought

would be perfect to help us with a new nighttime experiment

that Erik and I have been wanting to conduct.

We brought you out here

because we have an anomaly that's over

a spot just-just to the west here that we call

-the triangle. -Yes.

TRAVIS: Two weeks ago...

There's something in the sky above the rocket right here.

TRAVIS: ...we used a high-speed camera

to capture an image about

31 feet high above the triangle

of some kind of blob-like phenomena that

caused a rocket to explode right after launch.

We may be looking at the anomaly for the first time, guys.

TRAVIS: So, if that blob is the cause of all the phenomena

we've encountered at the triangle

over the past three years,

I believe David Mason and his equipment

can help us make it reappear

and possibly figure out what it could be.

I hope you brought some good stuff for us to use.

I sure did.

I brought a triple spectrum

light wave transmitter.

-Oh, yeah. -We can, we can send data

on it and transmit it

into the atmosphere to see if we can provoke a response.

That sounds cool.

It'd be really interesting to see what happens

if we pump that, uh, 1.6 gigahertz signal through it.

Yeah, I'm looking forward to it.

Well, let's get this stuff out and start setting up,

'cause it's gonna be dark before long.

-Yeah. -All right.

TRAVIS: David Mason has actually invented

a device he calls a triple spectrum light wave transmitter.

It's designed to project infrared and ultraviolet lasers,

which the naked eye can't see.

DAVID: All right, that'll work.

TRAVIS: But it also projects

a fully visible laser, too.

What we plan to do tonight is use it to broadcast

the mysterious 1.6 gigahertz communication signal

that we've previously recorded on the ranch

through all three lasers aimed straight up at the triangle

to see if that will stimulate the blob-like anomaly

to reappear.

I'm gonna do some rocket surgery.

TRAVIS: At the same time,

Kaleb and I are gonna launch rockets and mortars,

which are high-powered fireworks,

right up through the triangle to see if that will also help

trigger the phenomena.

We need to know what this thing is,

so, hopefully tonight, we'll get an answer.

-You know what? Kaleb, take the Omni... -KALEB: Uh-huh.

-...and take it all the way off the helipad. -KALEB: Yeah.

ERIK: This is the first time that David Mason has been on

the property, and as far as I know, this is the first time

that any equipment of the kind that he has brought out

has ever been used on the property,

and I'm really anxious to see what's going to happen.

Well, I've pretty much got everything ready to go.

-David, you about done? -Just about.

TRAVIS: Let's go wait for the sun to go down.

THOMAS: Looks like we got some stars out tonight.

I think we're ready to go.

All right, good.

TRAVIS: Once darkness fell

over Skinwalker Ranch,

we were ready and anxious to begin

our experiment at the triangle

with UAP investigator David Mason.

And so, you got, uh, three different,

-uh, optical bands, you got ultraviolet. -Ultraviolet.

-Correct. -TRAVIS: And then this is the visible light,

-right? And then this is infrared? -DAVID: Right.

Infrared, correct.

Okay, well, that's pretty cool.

DAVID: On this light wave transmitter, we're going to be

transmitting data

in the form of, uh, what we have as recordings.

-TRAVIS: The 1.6 gigahertz? -DAVID: Yeah.

Erik has provided me

his 1.6 gigahertz signal, and then I will be

transmitting that on the light wave transmitter,

and this light wave transmitter covers between infrared,

visible spectrum, and ultraviolet,

so we can take our own data or information

and transmit it on this transmitter,

hopefully to provoke a response.

We've got a lot of equipment here, we got a lot

of moving parts.

Now, I know that earlier

you and Erik were planning a lot of things

that are gonna be taking place out at the triangle.

We've never done, uh, something like a mortar shell before,

-where it, where-where it's got a big percussion, right? -No.

TRAVIS: Nobody's done it.

THOMAS: I guess we'll keep our eyes open because

who knows what kind of reaction it'll cause,

-if anything. -Right, sure.

ERIK: For tonight's activity,

we are firing rockets

and mortars. I'm going to be directing our cameras

from a distance on the triangle area.

I hope this experiment

will shed a lot of light on the strangeness that happens

in the airspace just above the triangle.

We're gonna take off to the south side

and just watch. Just see what we can...

That's a great idea, Tom.

So, if you're gonna do that, you guys, he's got

-some night vision goggles down there. -TOM: Oh, that'd be excellent.

TRAVIS: And so, you guys get one each,

so you can, you know, both be looking

and keep a walkie, if you see something let us know.

-TOM: Perfect, we will. -That's awesome.

THOMAS: You guys have a laser or something?

So, if you see something in the sky, you could

alert us, and we'd know where to look.

-We do. -Yeah. I'm holding laser in pocket.

All right, well, let's divide and conquer.

-Okay. -Okay. -Let's do it.

TRAVIS: While everyone got to their positions

around the ranch to begin the experiment...

...Erik prepped his scanning equipment in the control room

to monitor all the ranch activity

and look for any strange signals or frequencies

that might arise.

DAVID: Okay, these are working.

Just making sure that we're getting a signal.

THOMAS: So, everything looks quiet right now.

DAVID: Okay, we're sending out the 1.6

gigahertz signal that, uh,

-Erik had-had decoded. -Oh.

All right, we're ready to go.

I think, to start with, we stay in this back

-eastern corner. -TOM: Okay.

-TRAVIS: You got it? -KALEB: Yep.

TRAVIS: Ignitor one is connected.

Hey, why don't you call them and tell them

we're gonna fire off a mortar.

KALEB: Hey, everybody. Be advised,

we're gonna be shootin' the mortar off in about one minute.

Yeah, copy you, Kaleb. One minute till mortar.

TRAVIS (over walkie): Thomas, you copy?

We are ready to go.

So, David is currently broadcasting that 1.6 signal

that we recorded last year up into the triangle,

so who knows what that'll stimulate.

Whenever you guys are ready, we will be, uh, watching.

I'll give you a countdown when we're ready to go.

We're seeing everything crystal clear.

TRAVIS: We have power to the ignitor.

Okay, here we go, guys.

We're on a 15 second countdown.

Five,

four, three,

two, one.

Oh, (bleep).

All right, we've got an ignition malfunction on the rocket.

Stand by.

-(grunts) -Yeah.

TRAVIS: The mortar went off just as planned,

but for some strange reason, the rocket failed to launch.

With us broadcasting that 1.6 gigahertz signal,

and the ranch being the ranch,

it's hard to tell if you simply have

an equipment malfunction or if some kind of phenomena

is actually happening.

So, all we could do was to try again.

All right, everybody, we're gonna try

another round on this rocket.

We're gonna go in about 15 seconds.

THOMAS (over walkie): Copy that.

TRAVIS (over walkie): Tom, Kandus, keep your eyes out.

10-4. Will do.

TRAVIS: Five,

four, three,

two, one.

Nothing.

Dang it.

That's the second malfunction, Travis.

Is, uh, are you being thwarted over there

from launching that rocket?

Well, if you can say that it didn't launch

as being thwarted, then yes.

I'd say one failure is typical, but two in a row,

uh, this is starting to be strange.

We'll see.

THOMAS: I don't know that I remember

-having problems twice in a row. -(indistinct walkie chatter)

All right, we're gonna launch this rocket.

Er, make it attempt number three.

Copy that, we'll get ready with David's instruments.

Five, four,

three, two, one.

There we go.

And the thing went straight up.

KALEB: I have eyes on it.

TRAVIS: It's gonna come right back to us.

Looked like a perfect launch. Good job.

Yeah, it was a good launch.

All right, tell him we're gonna pr-- uh, prepare another one,

-and we'll be ready to go in about five minutes. -Okay.

Whoa! What was that purple light over there?

Did anybody else see a purple light over there?

Hey, I just saw a purple light

-over there in the tree. -Purple light?

TRAVIS: Purple light?

-Uh... -THOMAS: Oh, there it is!

TOM (over walkie): E-East of our location?

THOMAS: Looks like there's a black light

or a purple light out there.

Kind of southwest of us a little bit.

Still flashing.

What is that?

Is that you, Tom and Kandus?

Do you guys have a purple light?

That's negative. We do not.

After finally getting a rocket to launch at the triangle,

following two failed attempts,

Thomas Winterton saw what

he described as a purple light over in the south field.

That's the same place where

we recently heard stories about

orb-like UAPs from local Ute tribal members.

Be advised, we're about to launch another mortar.

Give us just a second to get in position, Travis.

It made us really eager to get another rocket

launched and mortar fired

to see if we could make it appear again

and figure out what it was.

So, I think if you've got a camera pointing south, Erik,

uh, that can watch for a flash down there.

We'll have David keep his instrumentation

pointed towards the anomaly

and the triangle, and I'll be

looking down towards the rocket launch.

To me, that sounds absolutely perfect.

So, I've got eyes on the spectrum.

I've got eyes on the southern sky,

uh, from the vantage point of the east field.

I think, between us,

we should be able to spot it if that, uh,

if that flash happens again.

All right, Travis, we have all of our cameras

and instrumentation ready. Uh, it's on your go.

TRAVIS: Five, four,

three, two,

one.

There's the rocket. All right.

Oh, got it again.

Be advised, we got another purple flash to the south.

Purple flash to the south, Thomas?

Kind of southwest of us a little bit.

Hey, Erik, do you have the ability to-to

focus the camera?

We got a flashing purple light

down on the south end of the property.

I don't know what it is.

I'm not seeing any flash here to the south.

THOMAS: It looks like it's going across the canal road.

I'm wondering what exactly that is.

I don't have eyes on it from where we're at.

THOMAS: Canal road down on the south, uh,

the one that runs along by where the south tower is.

TRAVIS: You see it?

KALEB: No, I'm not seeing anything.

Do you want us to go try to see if we can put eyes on it?

Possibly. Let's see if Erik can pick it up with the cameras.

Yeah, Thomas, I'm moving

one of the O.P. cameras over that way.

We really need to know whether that was

human interaction or if we were seeing

a response to the rocket launch.

ERIK (over walkie): I'd have to agree.

For what it's worth, just be advised,

it's very suggestive we are being

surveilled and directly interfered with.

TRAVIS: Two weeks ago...

We may be looking at the anomaly for the first time, guys.

TRAVIS: ...right after we saw the blob appear over the triangle...

Helicopter, helicopter!

...a Black Hawk military-style helicopter

suddenly flew over the ranch

and hovered above for several minutes.

Why-why right now? Why right now?

It made us really wonder if we're being monitored

out here by the government while we conduct our investigation.

So the immediate concern was whether this purple light

was some other kind of surveillance

or is it some kind of new phenomenon.

I'm scanning that part of the property

with OP1-SW, but I don't see it.

Dave, I'm gonna head down and try

to come around the back side.

We need to know whether we've got people down there or

if this is an actual reaction to that rocket.

-(engine starts) -Uh, I'm taking the UTV

and I'm gonna roll down through the dark forest

and try to come up from the other direction.

This time, I'm staring straight

at the south, and I see that purple flash again,

and I'm wondering if we've got trespassers down there or

something else.

Is this a response to our experiments?

Be advised, guys.

That flash looked like it was occurring

several hundred yards to the west of the south tower.

Any more signs of that flash, Erik?

I am watching for that,

and I do not see the flash. Anyone else see it?

We never picked it up visually from where we're sitting.

Well, I would say it's coming from the ground

to the west of the south tower.

Tom, Kandus, if you guys could head out there.

We are on our way.

THOMAS (over walkie): Uh, Tom and Kandus, where are you guys at right now?

TOM: We're about 800 yards past the tower,

heading towards you, Tom.

THOMAS: All right, imagine we'll be running

into you here in a minute.

Thomas, where are you?

So, we've just rendezvoused with Tom and Kandus here.

They came from the east, we came from the west.

Uh, neither one of us has seen anything that accounts

for that purple light.

TRAVIS: Look at that.

We're recording this. That is flashing, whatever that is.

You see it?

What is that?

KALEB: It's been just sitting there.

TRAVIS: It's sitting there.

All right, hey, Thomas, Erik.

With our night vision, there's

something right over Thomas down there

in the sky blinking at about ten degrees up.

THOMAS: We're not seeing it.

There it-- It is still there, it is still there.

That is right over them.

TRAVIS: That is right over them.

It is clearly something there.

KALEB (over radio): Hey, Tom, we saw something

in the NVG, and it was a light that was flashing rapidly

and it was staying in one spot right above you.

THOMAS: Did it have a purple light on it?

TRAVIS: You know, in the night vision, everything's green,

so I don't know what-what color it was.

Right after Thomas Winterton went to the south field

to investigate a mysterious purple light near the ground,

Kaleb and I saw a flashing UAP appear in the sky

above that same area.

-What is that? -It was crazy

to have two different kinds of possible phenomena

appear simultaneously.

That's never happened before.

THOMAS: I'm gonna climb up on the side of the hill

where we have a great vantage point.

Is that you guys over there, to the east of us?

KALEB: That's me and Travis.

That is flashing, whatever that is.

You see it? Look at that thing.

Holy crap, it looks like this thing's following Thomas.

KALEB: There's this light above Tom.

It's directly over him,

and it's almost as if it's following him.

All I can see is that it's a light,

it's strobing.

It's pretty disturbing to see something

following one of my team members out here

and we don't know what it is.

ERIK: I am watching for that, and I do not see the flash.

Anyone else see it?

It's not there now.

And with the lights in your eyes...

I've lost it.

So, I'm up here on the high point.

Not seeing any signs of activity.

There's not a way that we could launch

one more rocket, is there?

With some of us positioned down here?

TRAVIS: We could.

You launched the first time and almost immediately after

the rocket hit the ground, we saw the purple light.

I'm just curious, if we do it again,

would we see that flash again?

All right, well, we're not seeing anything

right here, right now, guys,

so we're gonna wander back that way

and we're going to launch a rocket.

After the light that Thomas reported,

and the UAP above him

that Kaleb and I saw had disappeared,

Thomas's idea to launch another rocket was a good call.

Oh.

It's changed a little bit, feels like.

Maybe another poke at the nest will give us

the perfect opportunity to get both phenomena to reappear

and get a better look at what they are.

All right, I'll tell you what I'd like to do.

I want to make sure that I've got all the cameras,

uh, in the right position to catch both the rocket launch

and the part of the sky where we've seen that purple light.

We're all on the lookout for something unusual,

and that is the appearance of some kind

of purple, pulsating light in the distance,

and that UAP, or whatever that was,

that we spotted in the sky above Thomas.

The best we can do is just keep our cameras trained

on that part of the property and see if it happens again.

I'm on a really high point out here on the south.

Yeah, David's got his instrument trained on you,

and I think he's picking you up.

I need a piece about that long.

All right.

Hey, Thomas, can you see our position now?

TRAVIS: All right, I can get, I can go from here

if you want to load the mortar.

-KALEB: No, it's good to go. -Okay. Well, hold on...

-Good. All right, we're good. -Cool.

(grunts)

THOMAS: Uh, Tom Lewis and

Kandus are in position. I'm in position.

Just want to make sure that Erik is ready.

Copy that. Erik, we're waiting on you to give us the go-ahead.

ERIK: All right, guys,

I'm in position, Dave's is in position.

We are ready for launch.

All right, Erik, copy that.

We're gonna go in 15 seconds.

Five, four,

three,

two, one.

KALEB: We're watching.

TRAVIS: Keep your eyes out.

I guess watch for that purple thing.

Hey, guys, did you see any of the purple stuff?

David, I'm not seeing any flash here to the south.

DAVID: Uh, I'm not seeing it, either.

-ERIK: Are you picking up anything? -No.

TRAVIS: We were all frozen in suspense,

scouring the skies along the south field

for any new signs of whatever

Thomas had seen, and also

the UAP that was above him, tracking his movements.

I'm not seeing-- Hey, scan around with the night vision,

see if you see that blinking light again like you saw before.

Hey, guys, anybody got eyes on any flash

in the southern sky?

THOMAS: I have not seen anything so far.

TOM: We haven't seen anything at the south tower.

TRAVIS: I'm not seeing anything.

Copy that. We also have no new features

showing up in the spectrum.

Maybe whatever it is went to bed.

THOMAS: Just seems like every time we find, uh,

an exotic feature and start focusing on it, it goes away.

Yeah, that seems about right.

THOMAS: All right.

Well, I guess if it's not gonna show itself,

then we can all migrate back to the helipad.

Okay, we'll make our way back as well.

TRAVIS: Tonight was a night like no other here on Skinwalker Ranch.

It seems we definitely stimulated

strange phenomena to appear,

but as if on cue, after we launched

that last rocket and mortar, though,

everything was suddenly still and quiet on the ranch.

Luckily, Kaleb and I were able to record the UAP

that we saw above Thomas with our night vision,

so once we organize all that data,

we can review it as a team and see if we can figure out

just what we encountered in the south field.

Thomas, while you were cranking out,

trying to catch up to them, um,

there was a blinking light hovering over y'all,

and I caught it on the NVG and recorded it with my phone.

-It was just sitting there. -THOMAS: Above us?

Above you. It was just sitting there.

David, thanks a lot for coming out and bringing all the stuff.

Yeah, absolutely.

There's something going on here.

The phenomenon, we don't really know what it is,

we just know we can see the effects it has

on our instrumentation, and it could be something

that's an-an atmospheric phenomenon,

it could be something from the ground level.

It just takes more data gathering

and corroborative data to figure out

what's going on here at Skinwalker Ranch.

TRAVIS: Well, we've got a lot of data to compile.

We've got all this recorded

we got to go back and look through.

All right, well, I say we break everything down,

-Let's call it a night. All right. -Let's do.

ERIK: The description that I've received

of this bright, purple, shimmering object or effect

over the southern portion of the ranch

is distinct from things that have been reported

during previous exercises.

Could this be some kind of UAP phenomena

that we've witnessed during some of our other exercises?

Now, that would be interesting.

TRAVIS: We've got so many spots

to focus our attention on right now:

the triangle, the east field,

the mesa, and now the south field.

They may all hold keys to getting some answers,

so we'll process and review all this data,

and, of course, continue drilling,

to get to the bottom of what's really happening here

at Skinwalker Ranch.

BRANDON: I continue to be shocked

by the UFO and UAP activity that attends these experiments.

The fact that Dr. Taylor's advanced rocketry

continues to stimulate the phenomena--

to poke the hornets' nest, if you will--

is something that none of us expected.

THOMAS: The drill has encountered

a hard object that it cannot penetrate.

Wow. There's something in there.

Oh, what is that?

KALEB: It looks like a deer.

THOMAS: I wonder what the heck killed it.

The coyotes didn't kill this animal.

TRAVIS: That's the pink rock inside the mesa.

ERIK: This material

is elemental selenium.

TRAVIS: Selenium is used to create

-cloaking devices. -Oh, wow.
