Look over here. I have never seen

that signal here before.

She's not wanting to move.

-You're hitting something and it's pushing the bit up? -Yeah.

When have we heard that before?

Hey, hey, what... Look right here.

KALEB: What is that? Right there, right there.

TRAVIS: I think that could be a UAP.

We're getting a signal at 1.6 gigahertz,

pointed at Homestead Two.

TIM: Lasers up.

I can't explain this.

The beam stopped and then starts again.

BRYANT: You're kidding me.

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. -ALEX: How we doing, Thomas?

So, you were able to get the bit back in

and get back up in the hole then, right?

Ready to rock and roll when you are.

So maybe today we can punch through.

-Yep. -Fingers crossed.

Our team is working every day

to make a breakthrough discovery that will explain

all the strange phenomena that happens on Skinwalker Ranch.

And, this afternoon, Thomas Winterton checked in

at the mesa where we've started a drilling operation

hoping to make our biggest breakthrough yet.

I'll be extremely happy when we see that pop up

through the top over there.

-We will, too, trust me. -I think we both will, yeah.

I'm confident that we're in a good position now.

Good.

TRAVIS: During a previous drilling operation back in 2021,

we encountered a 400-foot-long

dome-shaped object buried deep inside the mesa.

And then, just a month ago, using ground penetrating radar,

we detected several smaller anomalies surrounding it.

We have no idea what these things could be.

But during that first drilling operation...

Wow, look at all the metal.

TRAVIS: ...we recovered small metal fragments that are made

of similar materials that NASA uses to protect the surfaces

of our own spacecraft.

We're looking good on elevation?

Elevation is good, our-our pitch-- everything is good.

THOMAS: Okay, well I say we get at it, then.

ALEX: Okay.

TRAVIS: Two days ago, the drilling

was going perfectly until the bit hit an obstruction

about 40 feet in that forced it upwards.

And just then, we detected

a strange radio signal

at a frequency around 31 megahertz

that was coming from that same spot

inside the mesa.

ALEX: Hold that.

TRAVIS: Now, the team has moved their rig

several feet back and have started a new borehole.

We don't want to damage whatever's inside there,

so the plan is to drill two holes

that will trace around the dome-shaped object

and smaller anomalies

and then break through the top of the mesa.

This will allow us to install a number of scanning devices

on both sides to hopefully help us identify

what these things are

and strategize the best way to finally uncover them.

-Okay, well... -Go ahead and drill her, buddy.

ERIK: Looks like they got one rocket already on the table.

-Y'all got one already ready? -THOMAS and BRYANT: Yeah.

TRAVIS: The drilling operation in the mesa

was gonna take several days to be completed.

So, later that day, we shifted our focus

about a quarter mile to the east,

to another spot where we've witnessed

even more crazy phenomena including UAPs,

GPS errors, and crazy energy spikes.

It's a location we call the triangle.

-So... -ERIK: Yep.

I'm curious--

what is the plan for tonight?

Well, if you think about what we've seen out here

over the triangle, you know, the gap in that powerful laser.

If we can use these as expendable resources,

then what we can do is direct these right at that same spot

and see if that triggers the anomaly.

-Let's turn on the lasers. -Copy that.

TRAVIS: Two nights ago,

we shot seven multi-colored lasers

straight up above the triangle hoping to identify

what might be the cause

of all the strange things we've seen there.

Look right here. What is this?

And after witnessing another UAP flying above the mesa...

I still see it moving to the north and west.

...we discovered a black void in one of the lasers

at about 100 feet in the air.

That made no sense.

If the laser hit an obstruction,

it should've been cut off at that point.

We have no idea what would just cut off a section.

So, is there a surface there? Is there a force there?

What is it? And so, if we can categorize

what that is, then, uh, that-that

-should tell us something. -Yes.

TRAVIS: The other thing, too, I was thinking about,

we're talking about having Nu-Salt

and some of their lasers here.

Uh, we need to make sure that

the rockets can't get anywhere near their equipment.

So, maybe we kind of need to spread out a little bit.

-Sure. -Hey, what is that?

-TRAVIS: What? Where? -Right up there.

You see that?

TRAVIS: Oh, yeah, yeah,

-What is that? -BRYANT: I don't know.

TRAVIS: You guys seeing this?

Yeah, it's right there.

BRYANT: It doesn't look like it's moving.

TRAVIS: It doesn't look like it's moving.

I just lost it.

BRYANT: I don't see it either.

TRAVIS: I blinked and it was gone.

I have no idea what that UAP was that we saw

while we were setting up for the experiment.

But it did look very similar to one that we saw

just two nights ago

and definitely didn't appear to be an airplane.

THOMAS: Looks like the other guys are here.

-Where do we go? -Right over here.

BRYANT: Boy, we got a crew again, don't we?

So, I couldn't wait to get this experiment started

to see if we could figure it out.

Hey, fellas, how are y'all?

-Good, Travis. -Good.

Well, Tim, here we are again.

Here we are.

Yeah, well, this time, we want to put that energy again

into the space with your laser space canon

and see if we can't stimulate a response.

-Okay. -ERIK: Especially given what we saw last time.

-Yeah -You know, we haven't told you guys about this yet,

but when you had the laser space canons

around the, uh, triangle here,

what we saw in a long exposure photo,

actually, several of them,

uh, was up at about,

uh, somewhere above, probably, say, 100 feet,

something moved through the beam and blocked the beam.

And it's huge, probably big as this tent.

-Well, that's incredible. -TRAVIS: Passed through the beams.

So, it stops the beam, you have a big blob

where there's nothing, and the beam starts again.

-Wow. What-what could do that? -TRAVIS: What-what is that?

For tonight, we're gonna follow up on that, as we always do.

We're gonna collect data, not unlike what we did last time.

And, of course, I'll have all the assets trained

on these locations

so that we get a secondary perspective

if something does in fact show up in our space.

TRAVIS: Tonight,

we'll repeat the laser experiment

with just one laser canon at the triangle

to see if the same thing happens again.

Only this time, we're also gonna launch rockets

up through that 100-foot space to see what they might hit.

Are you ready to make it bright again?

I am. Let's do it.

Yeah, what about you, Pete?

You ready to paint the ground, paint the sky?

-Absolutely. -ERIK: You ready, Jim?

-We're ready. -TRAVIS: So, we got

a lot to do, so I say we-we get to it.

-Time to split up. -All right, let's go.

(whoops)

TRAVIS: We're trying to get a visual image of whatever

it is above the triangle.

So, once we get Nu-Salt's laser canon

shooting a beam up through the anomalous zone

above the triangle and start launching rockets...

ROYSTON: Man, we got all kinds of TVs.

TRAVIS: ...we're also gonna scan the entire area

from the ground and all the way up

and around the laser beam

with three different types of lidar devices.

One will be an aerial drone-based device

operated by Jim Royston.

Another is a terrestrial laser scanner

that Pete Kelsey will set up on a tripod

in the middle of the triangle area.

And, finally, Kaleb Bench will operate

a hand-held unit known as a SLAM scanner.

All three of these devices use infrared light

that can image things on the surface of the ground

and in the air that the naked eye

might not be able to see.

-Hey, guys. -So, it looks like Sam's got

his system set up.

Yeah, I've got, um, the GPS monitors

-running here in the triangle. -ERIK: All right, so, you guys

are ready, setting up the drone?

-ROYSTON: Yeah. -PETE: Yeah.

I like the sounds of that.

TRAVIS: We're gonna go at dark.

-Hey, Don. -There he is. -Welcome back.

We have something going on with the rockets.

We have something going on with the rockets.

We're actually firing rockets straight up,

right above that launch tower.

Literally, sparks are gonna fly.

Okay. All right.

All right, we're gonna go do one last sort of safety sweep,

and then I'll give you guys a yell

when the laser guys are ready to turn on.

-Okay. -Awesome.

I should probably get back

over to the command center

and make sure everything's

trained on this area.

Erik, I've got a walkie,

so we'll stay in close contact.

-All right, I got one, too. -Okay.

ERIK: We don't know exactly what to expect,

but we're very interested in what we might see

if we intersect something

at that hundred-foot level

or perhaps even as high as 5,000 feet.

We're directing the laser energy

into the triangle, as we have in the past because it might

stimulate a response based on our experience to date.

I've got everything up and running,

and, uh, I'm ready when you guys are.

Copy that.

TRAVIS: Okay, Tim, you're ready to test.

TIM: Right. We're ready. Laser's coming on.

Lasers on. There you go.

uh, guys.

We are hitting something with the laser.

Y'all-y'all look.

THOMAS: Is that clouds?

I'm seeing stars.

Yeah, we're hitting something.

You see the spot up there?

That's... It should just be a beam.

What are we hitting?

DON: I have no idea.

TRAVIS: What are we hitting?

TIM: I have no idea.

It should be going higher than that.

I don't think it should stop that low.

TRAVIS: Just after we turned on the Laser Space Cannon,

the beam was cut off by an invisible obstruction.

But rather than 100 feet high, like two nights ago,

this was at a much higher altitude.

So, is this something new?

Or is it something that moves from one spot to another?

TRAVIS (over walkie): Hey, Erik. Do you copy?

ERIK: Yeah. Go ahead, Travis.

TRAVIS: We have turned on the space canon

and it seems to be hitting something in the sky.

ERIK: What in the hell?

Okay, okay, copy.

That is weird, man.

THOMAS: What the heck?

My camera just went out.

(sighs)

The hell?

My camera...

-DON: It's out? Something zapped it. -Uh...

This camera is just not working.

I pick up this night camera

and for whatever reason, every time I pick this camera up

and start to film something of interest,

it shuts itself off.

I don't know what's going on with this camera.

What's going on there

that would cause this equipment to malfunction?

-Your camera died on you? -No, every ti...

so, every time I focus to the lasers,

it goes black.

ERIK: Oh, look at that.

Hey, guys, I got to say this looks really interesting.

Copy that.

I'm gonna turn the antennas that way.

Copy you, Travis.

Some of the new equipment that we've deployed this year

includes the Kraken, which is different

from our RF spectrum analyzer equipment.

The RF spectrum analyzer allows us to see

which frequencies are present and at what amplitude.

On the other hand,

the Kraken is a system that has five antennas,

it is capable of not only detecting RF signals

but of identifying the direction

from which those signals are coming from.

And right now, the Kraken system indicates

that we have a source of 1.6 gigahertz,

in fact, coming from Homestead Two.

TRAVIS: Let's get the spectrum analyzer on it.

♪ ♪

THOMAS: What are you listening to?

DON: It's getting a signal.

Yeah, y'all can hear that?

Let's see if I can zoom in on that thing.

Yeah, that... there's something transmitting.

Hey, Erik, do you copy?

We are getting a signal from behind Homestead Two,

and it has definite sound to it.

like it's a-a communication signal.

We've often detected

a strange radio signal at a frequency

of 1.6 gigahertz when we've also experienced

other strange phenomena on the ranch.

So, when Erik picked that signal up

on his Kraken surveillance system

coming from about a half mile away at Homestead Two,

it made me wonder

if it might also be related to whatever was blocking

the laser beam above the triangle.

We've got a laser that's hitting something up in the sky

and this 1.6 signal coming in

and it's coming from Homestead Two?

Yeah, behind Homestead Two.

Behind Homestead Two? What would be broadcasting

-back there? -I don't know.

ERIK: What the heck?

Travis, hey, I've got eyes on what appears to be

a descending light to the north of the mesa.

Are you seeing this?

THOMAS: Descending light?

We don't have anything up right now.

Where, Erik? We're looking.

You got it, Dragon?

This light that I'm tracking is continuing to descend.

I, honest to God, don't know what I'm looking at here.

ERIK: What I'm seeing through the cameras

during this exercise is the appearance

of a bright light

descending gradually towards the mesa.

You know, at this point, it's not like an aircraft,

a satellite, a meteor,

but could it be, you know, a legitimate UAP?

It's not clear.

THOMAS: You got a camera on it?

BRYANT: I'm trying to look.

TRAVIS: Go, go, go.

BRYANT: Well, I hope he's got it 'cause I can't see anything.

You don't think it's sitting behind the mesa, do you?

Up on top of the mesa?

Well, I'm just wondering

if maybe the mesa's obstructing our view.

TRAVIS: Sure. Could be.

But how could we get up there to see?

Well, I'm about tempted to run up there and look.

Do it.

Take a camera with you, but do it.

-Do you want to take this one, Thomas? -THOMAS: Yeah, I do, actually.

-BRYANT: This one works. -Go. Do it. You got a walkie? Okay.

-THOMAS: Yeah, I got a walkie. -Okay.

TRAVIS: Y'all, hurry, before the UAP disappears.

Erik, be advised Thomas is gonna run up the mesa.

We're wondering if maybe it's just over the edge of the mesa

and we can't see it.

TRAVIS: I'm not sure why all of us at the triangle

couldn't see the UAP

that Erik clearly saw

on his surveillance cameras at the command center.

But then, nothing was making any sense out there.

THOMAS: I'm not seeing anything that looks out of place.

Erik, we are not seeing it out here.

So it might be something in the infrared

that, uh, we can't see with the naked eye.

TRAVIS: It suddenly dawned on me

that Erik's surveillance cameras have infrared capabilities,

meaning they can capture things that the naked eye can't.

Maybe that's why we couldn't see this UAP.

-Kaleb! -KALEB: Yeah?

Get that SLAM scanner going.

Pete, get the terrestrial lidar going.

Y'all, anything that works in the infrared,

get it going right now.

I really hoped that the handheld lidar SLAM scanner

that Kaleb had,

Pete Kelsey's terrestrial lidar scanner

and Jim Royston's lidar drone

would help us figure out what was going on...

All right, I'm heading up.

...because they all use infrared light

to scan environments for anomalies.

Okay, Pete, I'm good.

-You're good? -I'm with you.

TRAVIS: Jim got his drone up,

Kaleb's got the hover map going, and we have

the terrestrial lidar going, so maybe we'll capture

something with that.

Okay.

ERIK: Yeah, go ahead.

I'm looking for that light.

Are you still seeing it?

That's a negative, Thomas.

So while we were doing this,

I went ahead and prepped a rocket with a chute in it.

If we have the mobile launch pad out here,

I'm wondering if we ought not,

while that laser's hitting something,

shoot a rocket up higher.

That's a great idea. Let's get it and go.

Dragon's idea to launch a rocket

up to where the laser was being blocked

was perfectly timed.

If we could get a rocket to hit that spot

and something happened to it, maybe we could also finally

get an image of whatever this obstruction was.

Erik, do you copy?

We're gonna put a rocket through that spot right now.

Copy you. Thanks for that, Travis.

I'm gonna make sure I've got the cameras adjusted

to, uh, capture the rocket launch. Thank you.

Hey, Thomas. Do you copy?

Yeah, Travis.

I'm up here on the mesa looking down on you, guys.

Copy that. Be advised

we are about to launch a rocket.

Copy that. We'll stay put until that rocket lands.

TRAVIS: Everybody, clear the area.

-Clear the area. -PETE: Okay, here we go.

Five, four,

three, two, one.

-BRYANT: Did you see that thing take off? -TRAVIS: That thing took off

and turned as far away from that laser beam

as it could get.

BRYANT: Did you see that thing take off?

TRAVIS: That thing took off

and turned as far away from that laser beam

as it could get.

-DON: Why didn't it go straight? -TRAVIS: Good question.

We had that launch rail pretty much straight up,

there's no wind.

That thing took off and it,

it avoided that laser beam like the plague,

is what it looked like.

That thing completely took off away from the laser.

TRAVIS: Now, it's possible that this rocket had malfunctioned

and didn't launch straight up as it was designed to.

But since we'd already seen some kind of invisible obstruction

blocking the laser in the air, high above the triangle,

it made us all wonder if it also caused the rocket

to veer off course.

Hey, Bryant, I'm ready to come down off this hill.

I think I'd be best served to be back down there with you guys.

Sounds good, man. See you in a second.

DON: Travis, there's two bulbs

on the end of the laser beam.

TRAVIS: That's right, there sure is.

The laser split in two.

Oh, yeah, look, now there's two.

I have never seen that before.

H-Hey, Dragon, are y'all seeing that?

-BRYANT: Yeah. -THOMAS: Yeah. Yeah.

TRAVIS: The laser beam split into two points.

It should just be a single beam.

Why is it X'd up there?

Hey, Erik, do you have a copy?

ERIK (over walkie): Yeah, Bryant, go ahead.

BRYANT: The laser cannon,

it looked like it was splitting at the top a little bit,

like, as-as if it was hitting something.

ERIK: Okay, I'm gonna get the surveillance system on that

and see if I can confirm.

Okay, guys, I got to say, this looks really interesting.

I don't know that I've seen this before.

There is a significant increase in the beam diameter

at a very well-defined altitude.

-THOMAS: It's like a stopping point. -TRAVIS: Sto...

From here, it looks like it's just dead stopped,

uh, making an X.

BRYANT: Yeah, that...

TRAVIS: It's like it's hitting something up there.

-CHRISTOPHER: It sure does. -It is so odd.

CHRISTOPHER: You really don't see that unless it's hitting

-some sort of mass. -TRAVIS: Yeah. -See that?

BRYANT: Are we actually hitting the anomaly with the laser?

TRAVIS: As if this experiment wasn't already crazy enough,

just after our rocket seemed to veer away from the triangle,

the invisible obstruction that was blocking Nu-Salt's laser

suddenly looked like it was splitting the beam in two.

What was up there and was it now morphing into something else?

I want to put another rocket in it, honestly.

I don't know how else to get up there to it.

Okay, I'm gonna call Erik and let him know.

TRAVIS: Yeah.

BRYANT: Hey, Erik?

Yeah, Bryant, go ahead.

Hey, we're gonna go ahead and launch

another rocket.

See if we can get up closer to whatever this anomaly is.

TRAVIS: The first rocket looked like it was pushed away

from the invisible obstruction high above the triangle.

So, I wanted to launch another one

to see if we could reach that spot

and hit whatever was up there

blocking and splitting the laser beam.

Rocket's hot.

Rocket's going in five,

four, three,

two, one.

Look at the crazy way that it's...

TRAVIS: Uh-huh. It-it zigzagged up through there,

-like it wanted to miss that spot. -Yep.

That is just stupid crazy.

I've designed and built and flown thousands of rockets.

They're supposed to go straight up.

Now, these kinds of malfunctions shouldn't be happening,

so all I could speculate on was

whatever was splitting the laser beam

might have been connected to these errors, but how?

Well, that's that.

Yeah, we're out of rockets for the night.

Yep.

-What a night, man. -Yeah.

Yeah, you know, uh, that was really interesting.

Well, there's not much else we can do tonight, fellas.

Hey, Erik, do you copy?

ERIK: Yeah, Travis, I copy.

TRAVIS: Well, we're done, so, uh, if you want to head out here,

we'll wait on you to-to get out here.

Awesome, Travis, thank you. I'll be right over.

Let's bring the lasers down.

TIM: Lasers coming down.

TRAVIS: Tonight definitely didn't go as we planned,

but on the other hand, what we witnessed was beyond

what we thought was possible. Ultimately,

we collected a lot of lidar scans

on the ground and in the air,

so with those, along with the video

of the laser beam getting blocked and split into two,

and the UAP that Erik recorded,

we've got a lot of data to analyze,

and hopefully, we'll get some answers

about what happened out here tonight.

Well, guys, that was spectacular.

That was, uh, exciting, to say the least.

From my perspective, I'd say the ranch definitely reacted.

Tonight was special. There was a lot going on.

TRAVIS: Oh, there was something about tonight,

-absolutely, I agree. -BRYANT: You've brought

those laser cannons out here four years in a row now,

and we've never seen one hit anything and stop.

That was... that was... that was new ground.

TRAVIS: And I can't wait to see

what the data tells us.

Yeah, it's... it's been a night.

TRAVIS: Hey, good night. Good night.

All right, buddy, if you're ready,

let's go ahead and push it into the pit here.

TRAVIS: The next morning,

while we were waiting for Pete Kelsey

to process all of the lidar data that was collected

at the triangle last night, the rest of us

were monitoring the drilling operation at the mesa.

The team from Mark Construction had gotten more

than 100 feet inside the mesa with their second hole,

so we were hopeful that they'd be able to make it

all the way through and get us closer to figuring out

what the dome-shaped object and all the smaller anomalies

around it actually are.

(thud)

-Did you feel that? -Yeah.

Did you guys just hear that noise?

-What the hell was that? -What was that noise?

Hey, Alex, you got a copy?

Yeah, everything good down there, bud?

No, pretty sure we just broke off.

ALEX: Well, that's not good. We got to figure this out.

Hopefully, we didn't break off at the head.

So, you don't know if it's the bit or if it's the pipe?

Yeah, we'll have to figure that out.

THOMAS: Hey, guys, you got a copy?

Yeah, go ahead, Thomas.

Uh, so, something's broke.

Uh, we don't know if it's the bit or the drill pipe.

We hit a hard surface, and unfortunately,

the drill rod snaps off.

So, hitting this hard surface really makes me wonder

what's lying in this

very hard-to-reach spot here in the mesa at Skinwalker Ranch.

So, we don't know where its broke at, then?

It's spinning in here,

then it's broke up there somewhere.

-What? -The bit's broke up there?

Well, they don't know if it's the bit that's broke

or the pipe, and if it's the pipe, we don't know where.

TRAVIS: Well, what broke it? I mean, is it...

Did you hit something impenetrable?

ALEX: We hit something hard.

Um, we'd just got to that point, and it got really hard,

and I was gonna have him try and drill through it,

and as soon as he started to drill through it

is when it snapped.

TRAVIS: Here we go again.

The drill bit has reached something inside the mesa

that it can't punch through.

And now it's apparently caused the drill pipe

or maybe even the drill bit to break.

Are we possibly hitting another part of the debris field

that surrounds the 400-foot-long

dome-shaped object inside the mesa?

Whatever it is has caused another frustrating delay.

-What the hell? -TRAVIS: But since this drill

is more than twice as powerful

as the previous ones we've had out here,

this break really made us even more curious

about what could be buried inside this mesa

that is so impenetrable.

Rotating right now. You got any movement up there?

I don't see any movement here.

ALEX: Nah, it is not moving

in the pit here so it is broke

from here back, Jared, from the drill to the pit.

You can go ahead and shut her down.

How many total feet in are we, already?

ALEX: We're 130 feet.

And then, uh, so, you're

somewhere about halfway up the mesa?

ALEX: Yeah, we're just on the other side

of that big boulder field there.

TRAVIS: How will you get that out?

We'll have to pull the rods out,

see how many rods in were broken,

dig to there...

You use the excavator and dig to it? Is that what you're saying?

Yeah.

And then we'll have to get the broken rod off.

So, no matter what, we've got quite a process ahead of us

to get back to drilling, then.

Yeah, unfortunately, it's gonna be a little time-consuming.

BRYANT: Every time we think we're making progress

getting into this mesa,

something else happens that stops us down

and delays the progress.

I'm starting to think that it's what's inside the mesa

that's causing all this to happen,

because the stories that we've heard

coming out of this place, whether it be underground bases

or an old alien craft that was crashed

or buried inside this mesa, we don't know what is in there.

So I'd really like to get in there and find out

what we're actually dealing with.

-Oh, lord. -One more thing.

ERIK: Hey, guys.

TRAVIS: Later that afternoon,

while the drillers worked to get back on track out at the mesa,

Erik gathered us all in the command center

to review his surveillance video

and all of Pete Kelsey's processed data

from our laser experiment last night at the triangle.

You know, I had a... I had a,

obviously, a different vantage point

from you guys down there, boots on the ground at the triangle.

I've got some stuff to share and then

we're gonna dive into the data that you guys got.

You'll certainly remember that I radioed over and, uh...

and alerted you to seeing something,

uh, descending over the mesa to the north.

And we were looking for it, but we couldn't find it, Erik.

Yeah, and I've got a recording.

-I want you to see what I saw. -THOMAS: Okay.

Okay, and this is from the perspective of the south tower.

You can see, now obviously, I've centered on the triangle.

This was not subtle.

Notice here,

it emerges,

and, boy, is it bright.

TRAVIS: Man, it's bright.

And it's not a, uh...

-THOMAS: Wow. -This is crazy.

It is not like an asteroid, or...

I mean, or a comet or a meteorite

-or anything like that. -ERIK: No. -No.

There is no way you telling us it's there in the sky

for that long that we wouldn't have seen something that bright.

And Thomas was at the top of the mesa

with at least a minute to spare.

So, that really lends support to your idea

that it may have been only visible in the infrared.

-I think it was in the infrared. -Wow.

ERIK: We're talking about an object

or some kind of an effect that we can't see with the naked eye.

Therefore, we might be dealing

with things in our airspace over the ranch

that would normally go undetected.

And this is descending really slowly.

ERIK: Are we engaging with something potentially exotic

or off-world or whatever at Skinwalker Ranch?

ERIK: There, it's gone.

-It traveled behind the mesa. -Wow.

ERIK: You know, looking at this has just made me all the more

curious about the other things that you guys reported.

You were SLAM scanning. Did anything happen

with the lidar device?

Yep, and...

well, I'll just show you.

So, Kaleb, you did

nine scans with the hover map.

Yeah, sounds about right.

This is one of them.

So, this was Kaleb's path

while walking with the lidar scanner.

The lidar scan can see fine details that would be

invisible to the naked eye above ground.

But just wait.

You can see all this data that's underground.

THOMAS: What?

PETE: And that shouldn't be there.

That's physically impossible.

ERIK: Wow, I see it.

TRAVIS: All those data points right there

think that they're underground.

That's impossible.

Lidar can't see through the ground.

-ERIK: No. -Oh, my God.

PETE: That's impossible. This data

is 200 feet underground.

ERIK: That is crazy.

Lidar can't see through the ground.

No.

-PETE: This... -ERIK: Is impossible.

PETE: ...is impossible.

TRAVIS: Infrared lidar can visualize things in the air

as well as on top of the ground that the naked eye can't see.

So how in the heck did Pete's SLAM scanner detect a massive

amount of data points 200 feet underground

at the triangle?

I want to isolate this data

that's 200 feet underground.

THOMAS: Oh, that is much easier to see.

TRAVIS: What in the crap?

PETE: There is a ring of data.

TRAVIS: Yes, it looks like a doughnut.

PETE: Yep.

I wonder if Jim is thinking what I'm thinking,

because a year ago, you

found some doughnut-like ring of data

-that you couldn't explain. -Absolutely.

If you remember,

we had that weird doughnut-shape anomaly.

TRAVIS: Doughnut-shape anomaly.

Absolutely.

In 2022...

-Whoa. -What is that red circle?

TRAVIS: ...during a lidar scan at the triangle,

Jim Royston detected a circular red ring

with a void right in the center of it.

And less than a month ago...

JIM: That's right above the triangle.

-ERIK: Whoa. -It looks like a dadgum

traversable Lorentzian wormhole.

...in that same area, he detected

another circular anomaly above the triangle.

But that one looked way more three dimensional

and similar to what Pete just got an image of

beneath the triangle last night.

So, I think we found a third lidar scan that gave us

a similar result there at the triangle.

KALEB: So, think about that-- we got three scans now.

One showing us underground, one showing us ground level,

and one in the air above the triangle.

It's like we've taken cross sections now

of a conical... anomaly

that's going down into

-the ground. -Yeah.

TRAVIS: Many notable scientists have been researching theories

for more than a century

that traversable Lorentzian wormholes--

or portals-- between two distant points in time

and space could exist.

If you combined the three data sets

that we've collected above and below the triangle,

it looks very similar to the structure

of a traversable wormhole, according to these theories.

What's also compelling about this

is that the triangle is right where

we've detected energy spikes,

seen things blocking and causing voids in lasers...

Look right here.

...and even recorded videos

of UAP literally disappearing in midair.

-And gone. -Look at that.

It's still hard to believe,

but at this point I don't know what else to think.

So, all of this so far has been,

you know, obviously, really interesting.

So, what other data did we see?

PETE: Well, I still have the...

laser scanning data to show you.

ERIK: So, what are we looking at here, Pete?

PETE: This is one

of the terrestrial laser scans we did

from our perspective at the triangle.

The terrestrial laser scanner can see

farther and gather more points

per second than the SLAM scanner can.

Okay.

PETE: We're looking at an anomaly out in the east fields.

TRAVIS: What in the actual crap?

That is insane.

What would account for the sharp lines coming down?

PETE: I don't know what it is.

But there had to be something there

for the lidar to detect it.

Whatever is there is... is as if it's invisible.

Can you zoom out further?

Look at that.

PETE: And here is where things get even more interesting.

There is a similar anomaly right at Homestead Two.

ERIK: Oh, wait, that's the direction

from which the 1.6 was emerging.

That is where the 1.6 gigahertz signal was coming from.

Can we rotate around?

ERIK: I'm seeing the swirl marks.

TRAVIS: Yeah. Look at this.

What?

Look at this smear all around.

It's like we're inside a cone of something.

Can you look up?

-It does go into a cone. -KALEB: Whoa, look at that.

TRAVIS: It is a cone.

ERIK: Wow.

I mean, that is insane.

You're inside it.

We're all inside it.

TRAVIS: It is a cone.

Wow.

PETE: This is a massive cone.

We were right in the middle of it at the triangle.

You're inside it.

We're all inside it.

PETE: It goes all the way from Homestead Two

to the east field.

TRAVIS: You know, I wonder how high

the apex is of this cone

-or whatever this is. -PETE: So it's more or less

2,000 feet.

Okay.

Just from eyeballing it, from what I remember,

it kind of looks about as high as the laser went that night.

That's a good point.

I've actually got that footage. I'll bring it up.

This is the camera perspective from the command center.

Okay, so if you had that camera around 50-ish degrees,

then the top of this cone that we're in

matches to where that laser beam stopped.

Yeah, yeah.

TRAVIS: The data that was captured last night at the triangle

is absolutely unbelievable.

We were looking at what appeared to be

a massive cone-shaped anomaly that was

supported by two pillars.

One coming from Homestead Two

where we detected a 1.6 gigahertz frequency signal

and the other from the east field canyon,

where, in the past, we've seen all kinds of UAP

and energy phenomena occur.

And what was really incredible is that the point

of this cone was sitting right above the center

of the triangle at 2,000 feet, which was

the exact altitude where the path of our laser beam

was being terminated during the experiment.

Who'd have thought that, uh, a laser beam being stopped

in midair would not be the strangest thing that we see.

(laughs) That's right. Absolutely

This is incredible.

This is the craziest thing I've ever seen.

If this turns out to be real measurements

-of some real phenomena... -ERIK: Yeah.

then we've measured something nobody's ever seen

before, period, ever.

Think about what that would mean.

Yeah, that-that "if"...

is one really big "if."

Well, look, led by the data.

-That's the data. -Dang right it is.

So we'll put our heads together. This is amazing.

It's gonna take me a while to get my head around this.

To process what I've just been shown.

-This is-this is fantastic. -Yeah, thank you, guys.

TRAVIS: Excellent work, man.

-Great stuff. -ERIK: That is just amazing.

TRAVIS: We've heard legends of structures

or spacecraft buried in the mesa and even

crazy stories about portals

actually existing here on the ranch.

All we can do is objectively analyze

the data that we collect out here.

And at this point, the data seems

to be supporting these stories.

Now, where will it all lead? I don't know.

But I'll tell you one thing: I'm determined to find out.

ERIK: This region of the airspace above the triangle

continues to puzzle us.

We learn more each time we conduct these experiments,

but I'm convinced new questions are being raised

every single time.

We're gonna keep coming back at this.

We understand what is happening on the ground, above the ranch,

and perhaps even below the ranch.

BRANDON: We are seeing an incredible display of physics

that really defy any current explanation

for what may be happening.

Are we dealing with portals?

Are we dealing with wormholes?

I'm more anxious than ever before to get the answers

that we've been seeking here at Skinwalker Ranch.
