ERIK: This is unlike any experiment we've done before.

We're gonna have two helicopters flying over the triangle

sending signals back and forth.

What I'm going to show you was during the flight.

TRAVIS: Oh, Lord, have mercy. That's on the ground.

It looks like the other UAP that came out of the mesa.

-Bingo. -That's amazing.

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.

THOMAS: Hey, guys, what are we looking at today?

We're looking for a relationship

between two things, okay?

So last week, you know, we captured this object here

during the course of the experiment

with the two helicopters.

BRYANT: Oh, yeah.

ERIK: That's the first one and...

you remember that light that seemed to go

into the mesa and then come out right here on the property?

Oh, that UAP that looked like

-it came out of the mesa? -Yeah.

Both of them seemed to be headed towards the triangle.

TRAVIS: After our dual-helicopter experiment

above the triangle last week,

led us to capturing video of a stunning orb-like UAP...

...Erik Bard realized that it looked very similar

to something we documented last year.

A UAP entered the mesa

in the east field

and then exited the mesa

right near the triangle

as if it had traveled straight through solid rock.

And Erik also noticed that in both cases,

these UAPs were headed right toward the triangle

where we've documented more phenomena

than anywhere else on Skinwalker Ranch.

So we'd really love to figure out the connection

between these mesa entry and exit points

and the triangle.

I think it's worthwhile to take a look at that video again

-from last year. -TRAVIS: I agree.

ERIK: I'm gonna take us forward

to the portion of the video where we start to see the light.

So right there.

KALEB: See, this is where it went in.

That's right above the east canyon,

close to the petroglyph.

I-I think I agree with you, Kaleb.

I mean, it puts it right there in that spot.

That's a really interesting area.

Yep.

THOMAS: There's a long history of these stories

denoting some type of portal here on Skinwalker Ranch.

Even some suggesting that the petroglyph

from the east canyon's area is related to a portal.

So, based on the evidence that we have,

I think we have to leave open the possibility

that some of these tales that we've heard about this area

and portals could be true.

At this point, it's way more than a coincidence.

Okay. We'll continue.

So, uh, the next frame here is--

-TRAVIS: When it comes out. -ERIK: Right.

TRAVIS: Right there.

Look how close to the triangle it is.

Yes.

TRAVIS: I mean, that is not far at all from the triangle.

KALEB: No. That's right on the road that we use

-every day to come over. -TRAVIS: Yeah.

And in this perspective,

it is absolutely moving toward the triangle.

ERIK: Right.

BRYANT: I mean, it really

looks like it is traveling to that spot.

-Yeah. -BRYANT: Just like that other UAP.

-Exactly. -THOMAS: Wow.

TRAVIS: I think what we got here

is a rough estimate

that it went in somewhere near the petroglyph,

and then came out of the face of the mesa

on the triangle side.

So this is actually

a fractional piece of evidence

that suggests the mesa and the triangle

are connected somehow.

-Mm-hmm. -TRAVIS: Right?

I can't help but think about people in this area

living here for generations, talking about seeing things

coming in and out of the mesa, too.

And-and this is that exact area.

THOMAS: So now that we have a general idea of where

the entrance point and where the exit point is,

what's the next step?

I have an idea.

So what if...

we go out in the east field to the mesa

and bombard it

with a signal that we can easily measure.

Maybe we send the 1.6 gigahertz at it.

And then we go out to the mesa

on the triangle side with the receivers

and see if we see that signal

coming out of the face of the mesa

right there by the triangle.

ROYSTON: Yeah.

TRAVIS: To test the Native American legends

about portals on Skinwalker Ranch,

my idea was to use a signal generator

to broadcast a strange 1.6 gigahertz radio signal

that we've recorded during past experiments

into the in point where we saw the UAP

entering the mesa last year,

which is also the same spot

where that petroglyph is located.

And then Erik will have a signal receiver

at the out point where the UAP exited the mesa

and flew towards the triangle.

Now here's the thing.

Due to the long distance between us,

Erik's receiver should not be able

to detect my transmission.

So if he does receive it,

that could mean some kind of direct passageway

through the solid rock mesa--

like a portal-- made it possible.

It's a worthwhile experiment to see what happens.

Okay. Well, it sounds like we've got a lot

to get going to try and figure this out.

Yeah.

-Okay. Great. -Good.

BRYANT: We'll get boots on the ground right now and find the spots.

ERIK: Welcome back.

Thanks. It's great to see you.

It's good to have you out.

ERIK: While the team are preparing for the experiment,

we have Ben Woodruff with us at the ranch.

He's a biologist at the Hutchings Museum Institute.

We have some samples

that we'd love you to take a look at,

as a biologist.

ERIK: We reached out to him

because we observed some really strange things happening

with life and even death on the property.

We had a cow that went down last October.

-BEN: Mm. -Uh, really kind of mysterious.

-Mm-hmm. -ERIK: Uh, there were no indications

that there were any, any health problems with that animal.

-And it just went down. -And it just went down, yeah.

-Yeah. -Hmm.

We'll get a chance for you

to really get your eyes on it, put your mind on it and see

what sort of insights you can share with us.

-Sounds great. -KANDUS: Yeah. Meanwhile we've got

a couple of birds we want you to look at that are dead. -BEN: Uh-huh.

KANDUS: Yeah, they're partially decomp

but not heavily.

BEN: Mm. That's a strange thing here.

Why is it that some things on the ranch

die and decompose normally

and some, they just don't decompose?

-Yeah. -KANDUS: Well, let's go check it out.

Yeah, I'd love to take a look.

-All right. -Lead the way. -KANDUS: Yeah.

I say it would be almost 100% fair

to say there's some biological anomaly going on here

that's slowing down the process of normal decomposition.

-BEN: Okay. -Yep.

And with Ben on board, he would be great

to show us what should be the norm

of the timeframe of which

something should decompose versus

something completely off the mark.

The grosbeak's the one that's been dead

for about two, two and half weeks, yeah.

-Okay. -KANDUS: A little more decomposition.

And then this is,

-I think it's a starling. -Yeah.

When I first saw it, it looked like

something had gotten into its, uh, brain.

Hmm.

So, when did you find the starling,

and when did you find the grosbeak?

The starling I found about...

-a week and a half ago. -BEN: Mm-hmm.

The grosbeak was two weeks, two and a half weeks now,

and I would have thought somebody

or something would have dragged it off by now.

Yeah. Yeah.

'Cause there's, there's no waste in...

-no waste in nature. -Right.

BEN: Usually there's always something

that wants to come along and eat it.

Even the sun plays a role.

That's what's really interesting, is--

the sun starts to break down the follicle

where the feather attaches

and the feathers start to just come out.

And that hasn't happened either.

TOM: How long does that typically take?

BEN: Um, no more than a week.

-Oh, okay. -BEN: Because on the inside,

you should have microbes and flies and maggots

and dermestid beetles breaking down the inside,

and so that separates the skin, and then the feathers

hit the sun, they-- ugh,

they just give up and come apart.

Let's take a look.

On the starling...

there's no evidence of maggots or dermestid beetles at all.

The muscle tissue is squishy.

The keel bone is intact.

So nothing has eaten the inside of this bird.

Which makes no sense.

This should be a mummy or it should be rotted.

And it's not.

But the brain is gone.

That is not normal.

KANDUS: When I first saw it,

it was just lying there with its brain missing.

BEN: That is not normal.

Wow.

TOM: I've never seen an animal

just missing its brain.

Nothing else was wrong with this bird.

You couldn't really see anything.

Everything else seemed to be intact.

These animals, they aren't decomposing

in a natural way on the ranch, and this is something

we've noticed over the years of this investigation.

BEN: The grosbeak, and this one's older you said?

-TOM: Yeah. -KANDUS: Yep.

BEN: This one...

Hmm... so there's a lot of blood around the beak,

but the eyes are intact.

And feeling on it...

I'd-I'd have to look at this under a microscope.

But the keel bone,

right here on a bird,

ends right here at the bottom

of the sternum, and you can feel

-where the viscera, or the guts, are. -Mm-hmm.

-And all of that is still intact... -It's still there?

...on both of these birds. That's the first thing

to decompose on an animal, usually,

because it's soft tissue.

I mean, you can see it.

I'm pushing on it. It's still squishy.

KANDUS: Wild.

BEN: So, this is interesting

'cause this kind of breaks both of our rules.

Things should decompose.

-Yeah. -BEN: It dries out.

With this heat, there's no way that this can be as it is.

Uh, that's impossible. Rigor mortis sets in.

-Okay. -Tissue dries out, the collagens start to break down,

and it rots and disintegrates.

This is what's scarier to me.

Why do you have an animal that's been dead that long

that's still soft to the touch and still squishy?

KANDUS: Yeah, it is wild.

You should have a cat, a fox, a coyote...

There's no shortage of scavengers on this property.

-No, so why have they... -BEN: No, no, they're everywhere.

That's a really good point, um,

-because that's the other part of the equation. -Yes.

Is why aren't they doing their job?

KANDUS: It seems like something's off if the birds

have just remained in place this whole time.

There's something uncanny and just unsettling about

when Mother Nature doesn't do what you expect.

And that's what's spinning us here,

is that there's just something going on

that doesn't make sense.

ERIK: This is really fascinating.

Well, I'm hoping by taking these back to the lab,

we can get some better results

-and hopefully get some answers. -KANDUS: Great.

Well, maybe we should go back and check out the dead cow.

BEN: Sounds good. Yeah, let's go take a look at him.

TOM: The dead cow that we're looking at with Ben,

we don't know what caused this cow to die.

Thomas just happened upon it,

but he did note that there was no blood

and that it didn't look like

it had been attacked.

Let's head on over.

Just another strange occurrence here on Skinwalker Ranch.

-Well, there's not much left, is there? -TOM: Mm-mm.

Huh.

ERIK: You know, I was expecting to see only dry bone,

but I guess there is a little bit

of that soft tissue left there.

BEN: When was it that this cow died again?

ERIK: You know, it's been about six months ago.

Okay.

But you don't know why it died?

ERIK: No.

BEN: So, you've had

that amount of time of solar radiation

hitting what's left here,

but you still have wet tissue.

I was not expecting this at all.

Usually, when an animal dies,

there's stages of decomposition

that should happen, and they don't happen here.

What's really strange about this

is the posture, the entire spine

and all the cervical vertebrae, the head are all intact.

Here's what I want to know:

Why is the stomach over here?

Look how big this was. All of this,

this is... this was all

what was being eaten. That's all grasses

and plants that are mashed down.

Totally separate.

What took that and put it here?

KANDUS: It could've been dragged.

-Look at these tooth marks... -ERIK: Yeah.

...on these ribs and on that scapula.

It would have to be larger than a wolf

to be dragging an entire bovid carcass even that far.

But the ribs, I mean, these all show the teeth marks.

And this... Look at this one though.

What are you seeing?

BEN: That is a tooth that bit all the way through.

Look on the other side here.

It's shattered out the other side.

See how that other side is shattered out?

-ERIK: Oh, wow, yeah. -KANDUS: Mm-hmm.

-That's a lot of force. -KANDUS: That's a big canine.

I'm just going to take it off.

If you look at how thick this rib is,

the force that it takes to go through that,

I mean, that would break my teeth

if I was trying to do that.

All these other bites that you see,

these, I can see scavengers doing.

But this, the force that it takes to go through that,

well, that is a big powerful canine that's very pointy.

-TOM: So, what kind of animal is that? -I don't know.

This is not a species that I have ever seen in Utah.

I think these samples are really good.

I'm going to take these back to the Hutchings Museum Institute,

we'll take a look over 'em.

-All right. -Fantastic.

ERIK: The bite marks put in the ribs of that cow carcass

resembled those that might've been inflicted by

a large animal.

I'm really interested in what Ben can tell us

after he's had a chance to

examine this rib bone, in particular, in his lab.

All right, let's head out.

ERIK: Okay, that goes on the bottom.

This one is gonna go here.

TRAVIS: The next day, we were all set up with

an array of equipment to conduct our new "in and out" experiment

at the mesa between the east field

and the triangle.

What I'm setting up here, Kaleb,

is, uh, one spectrum analyzer.

While Kaleb and I got stationed

near the in point in the east field,

Erik, along with Dragon,

Jim Royston and Sam Deriso were operating from

the out point near the triangle.

The plan was that I would use a signal generator

to broadcast the 1.6 gigahertz radio frequency

at the in point to see if Erik could actually

receive it on an antenna that he had aimed

at the out point.

Again, it should not be possible for Erik

to detect the signal

and that distance with our equipment,

especially through solid rock.

So, if we're successful,

that would be our first clue that there is

some kind of passageway

through the mesa where we saw the UAP

travel in and out last year.

ROYSTON: Okay, we're set on power.

ERIK: All right, very nice.

TRAVIS: Meanwhile, Jim Royston

will be flying his infrared lidar drone,

which will also be equipped with a GPS device,

back and forth above the in and out path

to scan for any phenomena that we might not be able to see

with the naked eye.

Yo, we gotta set up the high-speed cameras.

Finally, at both locations

we'll have multiple high-speed cameras rolling

and an array of sensor devices

monitoring for anything strange that might pop up.

-Let's see. -(electronic warbling)

TRAVIS: Oh, what was that?

Where's that coming from? Is that me?

Yeah, I guess that-- Where's that coming from?

Is that mine?

Let's see.

There's something happening right now.

Holy crap. Look at this.

You see this right here? Look at that, look.

We've got a 1.6 gigahertz signal right now

that's in-- that's-that's pulsing.

I hadn't even started broadcasting

my 1.6 gigahertz signal yet,

when all of a sudden, I started receiving

a different signal at the same frequency

on my spectrum analyzer.

Look at that,

it's the one that we got before.

That 1.6 gigahertz communication signal.

And the sporadic pattern of how that signal

was being received

was just like one that we detected

a couple of years ago at Homestead Two,

which Erik and I thought looked like a communication signal.

So, what or who was sending it?

KALEB: I'm thinking Morse code,

like you're sending...

Well, that's not Morse code.

That's-that's like a very complex signal.

That would be encrypted, even.

I think it's two things talking to each other.

That is crazy.

TRAVIS: I think it's two things talking to each other.

-You hear it? You hear it? -(electronic warbling)

There's one that's just a little bit to the left of 1.6,

and one that's a little to the right.

KALEB: They're gibbering back and forth right here.

TRAVIS: You can see those signals

reflected in the waterfall.

Look at that pattern.

KALEB: It's like they're alternating.

Yep, sure is.

Just as I was about to begin broadcasting

my 1.6 gigahertz radio signal at the so-called

in point of the mesa to see if it would travel through it

and over to where Erik was set up at the out point,

my spectrum analyzer picked up a completely different signal.

It looked similar to

a possible communications signal that

we recorded in the past over near Homestead Two.

But it was a lot creepier.

Hey, Dragon, this is Kaleb. Do you copy?

Yeah, go ahead, Kaleb.

Hey, Travis is picking up something on his

spectrum analyzer here.

What frequency are you picking up?

TRAVIS: Hey, Dragon, it's like two different signals

talking to each other at 1.6 gigahertz.

Have y'all seen anything like that?

BRYANT: Do you see anything like that, Erik?

Let me dive in.

TRAVIS: So, they're centered at 1.6 gigahertz,

and one's just to the right of it

and one's just to the left of it.

-No. -BRYANT: Copy that.

I don't think we're seeing anything remotely like that.

TRAVIS: It's really strong,

so I'm surprised you can't see it.

That is strange.

The triangle is living up to its reputation right now.

TRAVIS: Copy that.

ERIK: Yeah, I'm getting a little nervous out here.

So, uh, the sooner we start the better.

BRYANT: Okay.

So, we need to get them to do their broadcasting?

-Or is he gonna fly first? -ERIK: No. No, we're gonna do a control run.

Let them know they've got a bird coming over head.

BRYANT: Hey, Travis we are going to fly

a test mission. We just wanted to let you know

there's gonna be a bird coming over you.

Copy that.

Whenever you're ready, fire it up.

-Good to go? -We're good to go.

BRYANT: Three, two, one.

ERIK: We're going to start the experiment with a practice run.

Jim Royston will be flying his lidar drone

between the in and out points of the mesa.

The question is whether the lidar,

the GPS or the drone itself

will detect any strange readings

or interruptions along the way.

So, this is all automated? You've set the path?

Yes. Yep, so this will have a path,

it's going to stay right at 300 feet.

Erik will track this path

and see, really, what's happening,

potentially, at that entrance or exit.

-That's fantastic. -ROYSTON: Yep.

Look it.

It's-it's kind of... it's kind of quit.

Where'd it go?

KALEB: Yeah, it's flat right now.

TRAVIS: I mean, nothing.

Huh.

ERIK: So, Jim, how fast is this drone moving?

So, we're gonna do about 12-point... Uh-oh.

We're RTK red.

So, right now, the drone

and the bay station is having trouble communicating.

That error came right over where we think that orb

exited out of the mesa.

ROYSTON: Yeah.

-We're in that anomalous area. -ERIK: Uh-oh.

ROYSTON: What happened, Erik?

ERIK: There's a gap in the data

right where he called out controller interference.

BRYANT: There's something there.

Yeah, I'm running into interference there, guys.

Wow.

AUTOMATED VOICE: Return to home.

ROYSTON: Guys, we just, we fully lost it.

-What happened? -ROYSTON: It's returning to home.

The aircraft completely disconnected.

ERIK: So, there's something out there messing with GPS.

-Is that correct? -ROYSTON: That's absolutely correct, Erik.

KALEB: It's headed back.

-It's going right over the spire. -Holy crap.

What a... Look at this.

Right when you said that, a-a pulse showed up.

KALEB: There it is.

TRAVIS: And it just turned off.

This was really curious.

After not seeing the strange 1.6 gigahertz signal

for several minutes, it showed up again

on my spectrum analyzer

just as the drone

passed directly through the spot

where we identified a 300-foot-tall spire,

or column-shaped anomaly, two years ago

during a previous photogrammetry scan.

And this was right near the petroglyph

in the east field canyon

that supposedly depicts a portal.

ROYSTON: All right, guys, so it's coming home.

I want your eyes on this.

-ROYSTON: Wow. Look at that gap. -BRYANT: Oh, my gosh.

The same spot as the photogrammetry's spire.

That seems more than a coincidence to me.

I agree.

TRAVIS (over walkie): Dragon?

Yeah, go ahead, Travis.

Right when the drone flew through the, uh, spire,

you know, the photogrammetry anomaly.

Well, that correlates with what we saw.

With the real-time data that Erik was taking

off of the lidar drone.

I agree.

So, uh, what are we gonna do next?

We-We're ready to start the experiment

with the, uh, broadcast or whatever you guys want to do,

just tell Erik to let us know.

Uh, yeah, let's fire it up. Let's go.

Hey, Travis,

we're gonna go ahead and start things up.

All right, we're running the instruments. We're ready to go.

After receiving that weird

1.6 gigahertz communication signal,

and then Jim getting the drone interference

right at the column-shaped anomaly,

I wanted to start broadcasting my own

1.6 gigahertz signal through the in point

to see if Erik would be able to receive it at the out point.

Again, if the signal goes through,

which shouldn't be possible,

it would be evidence that something

totally out of the ordinary

is allowing the signal to pass through the mesa.

Three, two, one.

BRYANT: All right, Travis,

go ahead and start broadcasting.

I'm at 1.6 gigahertz,

and I'm starting broadcasting

in three, two,

one.

THOMAS: Uh... (chuckles)

Why did I just see peaks come up?

-KALEB: Wow. -ERIK: Yeah.

Can you tell him to turn it off again?

Hey, Travis, do you mind turning that off?

Copy that. We're gonna turn it off

in three, two, one.

It is off.

ERIK: Whoa.

Yeah, so, we are picking up

when he's turning things on and off.

Hey, Travis,

this is really interesting.

We definitely had some signal that

correlated with your countdown.

-Whoa. -We shouldn't be.

TRAVIS: You guys are picking up signal through the mesa.

We shouldn't be.

Now let's have him turn it on again.

Okay, can you go ahead and turn it back on again?

TRAVIS: It is on.

ERIK: Now, normally,

we should get absolutely nothing through the rock.

Our little RF signal generator

is just not strong enough to be detected

over the distances involved,

especially with a big mesa in the way.

There appears to be something connecting

these two locations

in the east canyon area and

this area that's facing the triangle.

Hey, Travis, we're gonna go ahead

and fly the drone mission...

Copy that.

BRYANT: Three, two, one.

TRAVIS: After Erik was able to receive

my 1.6 gigahertz signal through the mesa,

between the in and out points,

it was really important for Jim Royston

to keep conducting lidar scans

along that path to see if he can image anything

on infrared that we couldn't see with the naked eye.

ROYSTON: Okay, we're getting

good signal now, as you can see.

ERIK: Oh.

-I just saw a... -Yeah.

I just saw a glitch there.

Yeah, this time on ascent,

it looks like it was headed off towards the south,

even though I know it went just straight up.

TRAVIS: It was really strange

when the GPS device on the drone

that Jim Royston deployed collected data

indicating that the drone flew to the south

because they saw it lift straight up off the ground.

So, what was redirecting that data?

And could it have been related

to the communications signal that I detected?

Here we go, controller interference again.

Similar spot, right?

I want your eyes on this.

-Look right there. -ROYSTON: Look at that.

-Wow. Look at that gap. -BRYANT: Oh, my gosh.

ERIK: We-We've run into interference

in that spot before.

There's a gap in the data right where

he called out controller interference.

BRYANT: That's crazy.

ROYSTON: Same exact spot.

There's something there.

That is so unexpected.

TRAVIS: And then, when Jim's drone

encountered major interference,

right when it flew over the spot where we detected

the column-shaped anomaly two years ago,

we were all on edge about what might happen next

between the in and out points.

Hey, keep an eye out for the drone, Kaleb.

-KALEB: Oh, yep, its coming. -TRAVIS: Oh, yeah, I see it.

KALEB: Yeah, it coming over us right now.

I'll jump on that high-speed camera and watch it.

Yeah, watch it with the high-speed camera. That's good.

KALEB: Its turning around and coming back.

Oh, it just stopped, and it's going the other way now.

I'm surprised by that.

KALEB: Yeah, so I don't know if that's them doing it or...

-TRAVIS: It's going back and forth. What is going on? -KALEB: Yeah.

-What's it doing? -BRYANT: What is the drone doing?

What's the drone doing?

ROYSTON: It's gonna calibrate right now.

-ERIK: It's all over the place. -ROYSTON: It should be

in a straight line calibration,

-which you've seen many times, Erik. -ERIK: No, it's not...

It looks like it's going in circles.

And to confirm, they are broadcasting

that 1.6 signal

-now, right? Okay. -BRYANT: That is correct.

TRAVIS: Okay, now it's turning south, it looks like to me.

KALEB: Yeah.

Where's it going?

Stand by, I have a warning on the RTK.

What in the hell is... Look at this.

ROYSTON: Oh, here it comes.

Now it should be coming straight.

THOMAS: Yeah, it's moving around erratically, it looks like.

ERIK: Yeah, that's what I'm seeing.

ROYSTON: Are you kidding me?

BRYANT: No, look. Look at his GPS data.

ROYSTON: I'm still getting warnings right now.

Here, I'm getting them right in the same spot again.

And I've-I've got a gap in the data again.

ROYSTON: Unbelievable.

When we finally get the drone up in the air,

we're going on this path and,

believe it or not,

almost instantaneously

we start having trouble

with the drone going a little

kind of crazy.

All of a sudden, it really was like

I literally have no control.

I've never seen where I lose control to my drone.

How does that happen?

Now it looks like it's coming back.

ROYSTON: Yeah, I'm green now.

I'm back green.

Good GPS signal, everything's good.

ERIK: Yeah, and I'm back up.

ROYSTON: And you guys are seeing it on the screen here with me.

Hey, Travis, do you copy?

Yeah, Dragon, I copy.

Um, if you want to go ahead and stop your broadcast,

you can go ahead and do that.

ROYSTON: We have a drone coming in.

Did you see anything on the spectrum analyzer at all, or...?

Um, nothing, just, nothing's jumping out.

BRYANT: Well, what can we do, Erik? Just start shutting stuff down?

-Yeah, I'm ready to shut down. -Okay.

We got a lot of data to take a look at.

All right, let's do it.

All right, man.

All right, I say we break down.

In the moment, this experiment

definitely indicated that there is some kind of

phenomenal connection between the east field,

or in point, and the out point near the triangle.

So, what could that connection really be?

And, also, why did we detect

a possible communication signal during this experiment?

So, how is that signal getting through the mesa

and coming out here that you can detect?

It did appear that there were times when you were on,

and we-we saw something persistent enough

that we could all get eyes on.

It's almost like the mesa's acting like a wave guide

or an antenna or something

and just channeling it here to you.

-Yeah. -TRAVIS: Well, I say we wrap up,

I-I guess, and see what all this data shows us.

ERIK: Heck yeah. We'll review it back at the command center.

-Okay. -All right.

TRAVIS: Can't wait to find out.

-TRAVIS: Hey, Erik. -ERIK: Hey, guys. Hey.

-What's going on? -You're gonna like this.

So, I'm-I'm looking at, um, all the data

that we collected during that in and out experiment.

TRAVIS: After our experiment yesterday,

where we successfully transmitted

the 1.6 gigahertz signal through the mesa

between the so-called in point in the east field

and the out point near the triangle,

and we also detected

some kind of strange communication signal,

we couldn't wait to see what else Erik might have found

once he processed all the other data that we had collected.

ERIK: So, I want to take us

to the high-speed video footage that you guys

got out in the-- in the, um, east field canyon area.

Oh, yeah. Yeah, so we were sitting

right in front of the petroglyph.

ERIK: I created this filter

so that I could bring out some of the detail.

TRAVIS: Okay,

so this is all on the high-speed camera.

-It's looking straight at the triangle. -Yes.

So we've got an event here.

TRAVIS: Oh, wow.

What is that?

Is that the drone?

This is moving a lot faster.

Wow, what is that?

Let's dive in on that.

TRAVIS: Yeah, look at that.

Play it moving. Let's see if there's anything like...

-wings or anything on it. -Right.

TRAVIS: Doesn't look like it, does it?

BRYANT: No.

I don't see any recognizable features. You know,

like, you know, propellers, wings, as you mentioned.

And it's not a water droplet on the lens.

-KALEB: No, it was dry as a bone out there. -Yeah. (chuckles)

Yeah, yeah. It hadn't rained or anything.

Also, that's where all that missing data's at.

ERIK: Right.

TRAVIS: Wow.

This just goes to show that we can't have

enough high-tech equipment and cameras during all

of our experiments here on Skinwalker Ranch.

Right where Jim Royston's drone experienced GPS errors

and something interfered with his controls

between the so-called "in and out" points yesterday,

our high-speed camera recorded a UAP.

So, what was this thing?

And was it responsible for those anomalies

or even the 1.6-gigahertz communication signal

we detected that was separate

from the one that I was broadcasting over to Erik?

So, did you guys happen to notice a-anything--

I don't recall ever seeing anything like that.

ERIK: Okay, well, we've got more of 'em.

-Really? -Yeah, so...

there's a second clip that I want to share with you.

So we've got an event here.

You see the mark here?

TRAVIS: Oh, yeah.

Wow!

What is that thing that flew into the mesa?

ERIK: I have no idea what this is.

All right, so we're in the east field

-by the canyon. -Mm.

Right? We're probably less than 30 meters,

maybe 50 meters from Pete Kelsey's photogrammetry anomaly.

And you can see the petroglyph is

right there in front of Kaleb.

That's the petroglyph right there. Right?

And we're looking back,

southwest toward the triangle.

-ERIK: Which would be over-over here. -Right over there.

So, what we actually did catch doesn't belong.

BRYANT: I mean, look at that thing.

TRAVIS: It's-it's unbelievable.

-That's crazy. -This area has become

extremely interesting, especially now that we've seen

what appears to be a UAP

entering into the mesa near the petroglyph.

I don't know what this was,

but it's not like some of the other things

that we know are in the sky.

This was definitely different.

We need to figure out what that was

and what we need to do about it.

That one's interesting, and we need to do

-more video analysis on it. -ERIK: Yeah.

Wait till you see what else I've got.

So, here, you've repositioned the camera.

KALEB: We wanted more of the sky, so-- in case we--

there was something else out there

that we couldn't see or something.

So this is the contrast enhancement.

All right.

We have the original footage here

we're gonna take a look at.

We've got something going on over here.

-TRAVIS: Yeah, there it is up there. -KALEB: There it is.

ERIK: So let's just watch this thing move.

TRAVIS: And, again, it's daytime.

We're not seeing a satellite,

and it's not a airplane moving that fast.

Now let me show you where it comes into the frame.

I don't remember ever seeing anything in the sky like that.

So, at around the 2:30 mark,

this thing emerges.

You'll see it on the left-hand side.

TRAVIS: I'm looking.

-KALEB: Right there, up on the top. -Yeah, yeah, yeah.

ERIK: Got it?

-TRAVIS: Yeah, look at that. -ERIK: All right,

so I'm gonna dive in on the contrast enhancement.

TRAVIS: All right, so keep in mind it's going

seven and a half times faster.

-ERIK: Now, one of the things that stands out-- -Look, there's something.

-It looks like there's something under it. Moving with it. -Uh-huh.

TRAVIS: And then what's this thing at the bottom coming up?

-ERIK: You see what's happening here? -Yeah, you got three things

-on the camera. Four things! There's one over here. -Here. Here.

♪ ♪

♪ ♪

TRAVIS: Yeah, you got three things on the camera.

Four things! There's one over here.

It was shocking to all of us

that our high-speed camera recorded multiple UAPs

in the air during our experiment yesterday

at the "in and out" points

between the east field and the triangle.

Is it possible that they came out of the mesa?

And could that be why we detected what we think

might be a communication signal at the "in" point?

ERIK: Yeah, let me freeze this,

and let's dive into each of these.

TRAVIS: Look. Back up just a little bit, Erik.

So there's something here.

There's something here.

And there's something here.

ERIK: Yeah.

And as you let it move forward,

you can see they're moving.

And they're not necessarily moving together.

-ERIK: Right. -But they're moving at about--

Oh, here's another piece right here.

ERIK: Right, so we've got four things

in this one frame,

which is actually, you know, zoomed-in on the...

-on the footage. -Yeah.

-Yeah. -Yeah, let's take a look. One of the things

that really stands out for me is this

very rectangular geometry,

the edge definition.

You know, this thing never takes on a--

It never changes its appearance.

It always seems to be this rectangular,

dark-on-top, light-on-bottom,

-uh, type of a feature. -And I don't see

anything like wings flapping around at all.

Yeah, I sure don't either.

And it's moving like an aircraft or, uh,

something but much faster.

ERIK: Now look at the change in direction.

TRAVIS: Oh, and it sped up.

ERIK: Look what's happening.

It's speeding way up.

ERIK: And it seems to be diving.

But that's not all it's gonna do.

Watch what happens here.

KALEB: Oh, it slows down.

TRAVIS: So here's another point to make--

both Kaleb and I were watching

-that drone intently. -(chuckles): Yeah.

-Mm-hmm. -And he was tracking it with the camera intently.

-Yeah. -And this thing crosses right there by the drone

and we don't see it.

-What is it? -I want to show you

what happens.

I found something in here

at about 8:56.

KALEB: Oh, right there.

ERIK: Right there.

-I want to dive in. -TRAVIS: It's moving really fast,

whatever it is. 'Cause, remember,

that's seven and a half times

slower than it was actually moving.

ERIK: Yeah, and what kind of features do we recognize on this thing?

Do we see anything that would suggest a bird?

I'm watching for, like, wings or something.

I'm not seeing that.

Does some kind of, like,

"S" maneuver right there, it looks like.

ERIK: Uh-huh. And look at where this thing is.

-TRAVIS: That's right over the triangle. -Right.

That thing is basically in the triangle airspace.

TRAVIS: So it came from, you know, the middle of nowhere,

swoops in, and then turns back.

ERIK: Below cloud level and apparently down.

Like it's turning to make

a final approach here, like it's coming in

-for a landing or something. -Yeah.

TRAVIS: Seeing this UAP suddenly appear

and then maneuver directly above the triangle was incredible.

Because last year...

-Look at that. -That's interesting.

...that's right where Jim Royston's lidar drone detected

a perfectly circular ring with a black void in the center

that we've speculated could be related

to a wormhole or portal.

Could this UAP appearing at that location be evidence

that just might confirm our suspicions

and maybe validate all the legends we've heard

about portals on Skinwalker Ranch?

Now we're really finding hard evidence

that there's a absolute phenomena

-taking place here. -ERIK: That is

-a critical piece of data. -I-I think we need

to plan our next experiment out there that we can set up

-and reproduce all these things. -Yeah. -Fantastic.

-Love it. -KALEB: All right, man.

-Great. -We'll talk to you later, Erik. -Thanks, guys.

TRAVIS: That's great stuff, Erik.

So exciting.

ERIK: We have seen what may be UAPs

or some objects in the sky

moving at fairly high rates of travel.

There are objects that appear to be passing

directly into the mesa.

And as strange as that sounds,

it lines up exactly with things that have been described to us

from the history of this property.

We can't dismiss it.

TRAVIS: For decades, if not centuries,

Skinwalker Ranch has been home to legends

that are hard to understand or even believe.

But we keep documenting phenomena

that just might prove some of these legends

are based on reality.

So, as we continue applying science

to figure out what they are and why they're here,

I wonder how our perception of reality

could be changed forever.

BRANDON: What lies within the mesa?

What is above the triangle?

Those priorities,

those tasks lie ahead of us.

We are proving the reality of the phenomena.

We are on the cusp

of discovering the secret of Skinwalker Ranch.
