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.
