1
00:00:05,923 --> 00:00:06,997
-That upper area right there.
-Kaleb: Up in there?
2
00:00:07,216 --> 00:00:08,673
Jay:
We could see in the distance
3
00:00:08,759 --> 00:00:10,300
What looked like
a shadow figure or,
4
00:00:10,594 --> 00:00:13,237
You know, a person
standing on the second floor.
5
00:00:13,347 --> 00:00:14,762
Kaleb:
I'm wondering
6
00:00:14,807 --> 00:00:16,557
What's setting off the cameras.
7
00:00:16,767 --> 00:00:19,059
Bryant:
If it's back at the tree line,
8
00:00:19,270 --> 00:00:20,536
That thing's pretty big.
9
00:00:20,688 --> 00:00:22,696
Travis:
Whoa, whoa, whoa,
whoa, whoa, whoa.
10
00:00:22,773 --> 00:00:23,730
Bryant:
Middle of the day,
11
00:00:23,774 --> 00:00:25,857
An orb like that-- that's crazy.
12
00:00:25,943 --> 00:00:28,836
Erik: There's something
about those two spots
13
00:00:28,988 --> 00:00:31,846
And the point where it dips
into the ground a thousand feet.
14
00:00:31,949 --> 00:00:33,907
Jay:
That's amazing.
15
00:00:34,068 --> 00:00:35,159
Wow.
16
00:00:36,287 --> 00:00:39,621
Narrator:
There is a ranch
in northern utah.
17
00:00:39,832 --> 00:00:42,299
It is considered the epicenter
18
00:00:42,460 --> 00:00:47,004
Of the strangest and most
disturbing phenomena on earth:
19
00:00:47,173 --> 00:00:49,456
Animal mutilations,
20
00:00:49,633 --> 00:00:51,508
Bizarre ufo sightings
21
00:00:51,802 --> 00:00:56,763
And unusual energies that have
proven harmful to humans.
22
00:00:56,849 --> 00:00:59,533
For 20 years,
the federal government
23
00:00:59,643 --> 00:01:02,669
Tried to find answers
and failed.
24
00:01:02,855 --> 00:01:07,023
Now a new team
of dedicated scientists,
25
00:01:07,151 --> 00:01:10,903
Researchers and experts
has taken over.
26
00:01:11,197 --> 00:01:15,032
They are determined to solve
the mystery and reveal...
27
00:01:17,495 --> 00:01:20,871
...The secret
of skinwalker ranch.
28
00:01:28,464 --> 00:01:30,672
Erik:
Okay, so here we go.
29
00:01:34,220 --> 00:01:36,336
Bryant:
Come on over, pete.
30
00:01:36,514 --> 00:01:38,071
Pete:
What you got for me?
31
00:01:38,224 --> 00:01:40,431
Thomas: I'm glad you're here,
because, uh, erik
32
00:01:40,559 --> 00:01:43,193
Was telling us that you got some
new equipment that can help us
33
00:01:43,354 --> 00:01:46,063
Maybe better identify
what lies below the ground here.
34
00:01:46,306 --> 00:01:47,438
Erik:
With a particular interest
35
00:01:47,525 --> 00:01:49,199
In spots
that have been disturbed
36
00:01:49,235 --> 00:01:50,784
Perhaps in the past.
37
00:01:50,903 --> 00:01:51,868
-Uh-huh.
-Travis: Last week...
38
00:01:51,946 --> 00:01:54,354
We're gonna use you today
39
00:01:54,532 --> 00:01:56,215
As part of an experiment.
40
00:01:56,367 --> 00:01:57,782
...We conducted an experiment
41
00:01:57,868 --> 00:02:00,877
With former skinwalker
ranch investigator jay stratton
42
00:02:01,038 --> 00:02:03,855
To see if the property
would respond in some way
43
00:02:03,958 --> 00:02:05,249
To his presence.
44
00:02:06,168 --> 00:02:07,583
-Y'all in?
-Thomas: You are cleared
45
00:02:07,711 --> 00:02:09,294
-For takeoff.
-Travis: We took him
46
00:02:09,380 --> 00:02:11,204
On a tour where he had
experienced phenomena
47
00:02:11,423 --> 00:02:12,889
When he was here
over a decade ago.
48
00:02:13,008 --> 00:02:15,592
And we were shocked
by the results.
49
00:02:16,887 --> 00:02:18,812
Now, I'm going
to bring up the data
50
00:02:18,889 --> 00:02:21,064
Generated during your visit.
51
00:02:21,225 --> 00:02:24,384
Travis:
The gps data we recorded
during the tour went
52
00:02:24,562 --> 00:02:26,236
Several hundred feet underground
53
00:02:26,397 --> 00:02:29,464
Between homestead two
and the drill site at the mesa.
54
00:02:29,525 --> 00:02:30,573
Wow.
55
00:02:30,609 --> 00:02:32,575
So now erik bard arranged
56
00:02:32,736 --> 00:02:35,153
For technologist pete kelsey
to come back out
57
00:02:35,281 --> 00:02:37,531
To help us search for
anything strange or unnatural
58
00:02:37,741 --> 00:02:39,490
Beneath that location.
59
00:02:39,577 --> 00:02:42,335
Erik:
Pete, fill us in
on what you've got.
60
00:02:42,371 --> 00:02:43,770
Yeah. (chuckles)
61
00:02:43,873 --> 00:02:45,038
Multispectral.
62
00:02:46,041 --> 00:02:47,040
Thomas:
What does it do?
63
00:02:47,251 --> 00:02:49,167
Pete:
Well, it's designed,
64
00:02:49,253 --> 00:02:51,085
Really, to work in agriculture.
65
00:02:51,172 --> 00:02:54,882
If the soil under plants
has been disturbed,
66
00:02:55,176 --> 00:02:58,902
They will show up differently
in the multispectral imagery.
67
00:02:58,929 --> 00:02:59,970
Hmm.
68
00:03:01,098 --> 00:03:03,348
Travis:
A drone-based
multispectral camera
69
00:03:03,475 --> 00:03:05,976
Is designed to image
different wavelengths of light.
70
00:03:06,145 --> 00:03:07,344
By scanning the ground,
71
00:03:07,605 --> 00:03:10,355
It can build a geophysical model
of the surface
72
00:03:10,482 --> 00:03:14,251
That could help us identify
any evidence of past excavations
73
00:03:14,445 --> 00:03:17,195
Or even underground structures
like tunnels.
74
00:03:17,239 --> 00:03:18,863
Pete:
A multispectral camera--
75
00:03:18,991 --> 00:03:23,034
It's typically used, um,
on farms and for agriculture
76
00:03:23,037 --> 00:03:25,445
To determine, uh,
77
00:03:25,623 --> 00:03:27,781
The health, if you will,
of the crops.
78
00:03:28,000 --> 00:03:30,767
But because plants
grow differently
79
00:03:30,961 --> 00:03:34,637
Over soil that's been disturbed
at some point in time,
80
00:03:34,757 --> 00:03:37,424
It's an amazing tool
for archaeology.
81
00:03:38,135 --> 00:03:40,685
I've got colleagues
who have found roman ruins
82
00:03:40,687 --> 00:03:42,763
-Under wheat fields in England.
-Wow.
83
00:03:43,015 --> 00:03:46,299
If we're lucky, things will
jump out in this field
84
00:03:46,477 --> 00:03:47,951
That we'd never see otherwise.
85
00:03:48,020 --> 00:03:49,560
That's what we're after.
86
00:03:49,647 --> 00:03:51,638
I'm excited to get you to work
and get that scan.
87
00:03:51,815 --> 00:03:53,139
I'd love to see what you find.
88
00:03:53,359 --> 00:03:56,593
It's very interesting
to me to see
89
00:03:56,695 --> 00:03:59,446
The gps data from the experiment
that we did with jay stratton.
90
00:03:59,615 --> 00:04:01,072
Pete:
That'll work.
91
00:04:01,158 --> 00:04:02,490
Thomas:
And it's at this very point
92
00:04:02,576 --> 00:04:04,952
That we see the gps
start diving underground.
93
00:04:05,204 --> 00:04:07,137
You can slide it on the back,
if you want.
94
00:04:07,331 --> 00:04:09,139
Thomas:
I'm really curious
to see pete kelsey's data.
95
00:04:09,333 --> 00:04:12,750
What would make the gps go
below the surface here?
96
00:04:12,836 --> 00:04:15,428
Pete:
That is
a multispectral camera.
97
00:04:15,589 --> 00:04:17,330
-Bryant: That's it, huh?
-Thomas: Oh, wow.
-Erik: Wow.
98
00:04:17,549 --> 00:04:18,832
The stories
that have been shared with us
99
00:04:19,051 --> 00:04:21,635
About this region
of the property suggest
100
00:04:21,887 --> 00:04:24,488
That there is in fact
a concentration
101
00:04:24,682 --> 00:04:27,975
Of unusual phenomenology
that begins at the mesa
102
00:04:28,227 --> 00:04:31,036
And extends all the way out
to the homesteads.
103
00:04:31,188 --> 00:04:32,311
Is there
some kind of a connection
104
00:04:32,356 --> 00:04:34,331
Between these two locations?
105
00:04:34,525 --> 00:04:38,259
Hopefully, this exercise
will help us to sort that out.
106
00:04:38,362 --> 00:04:40,487
I'm gonna power up.
107
00:04:44,201 --> 00:04:46,042
Travis:
Pete's multispectral scan
108
00:04:46,203 --> 00:04:48,603
Was going to take
a couple of hours to complete.
109
00:04:48,789 --> 00:04:51,865
So while erik supervised
that process...
110
00:04:52,001 --> 00:04:54,042
♪ ♪
111
00:04:59,883 --> 00:05:01,532
-Thomas: Hey, joe.
-How you doing?
112
00:05:01,719 --> 00:05:04,969
...Thomas winterton,
dragon and kaleb bench
113
00:05:05,097 --> 00:05:09,049
Led our colleague joe loeb
out to the mesa drill site.
114
00:05:09,226 --> 00:05:10,350
So, got the drill?
115
00:05:10,561 --> 00:05:11,959
Got it in the back of the truck,
all ready.
116
00:05:12,146 --> 00:05:14,212
Travis:
Over the past couple of years,
117
00:05:14,440 --> 00:05:17,357
Joe's been helping dragon
and kaleb with ranch security,
118
00:05:17,609 --> 00:05:19,984
But he's also
a professional drill operator.
119
00:05:20,070 --> 00:05:22,987
So thomas and erik asked him
to try to help us
120
00:05:23,115 --> 00:05:25,973
With our new strategy to
figure out what could be buried
121
00:05:26,076 --> 00:05:27,141
Inside the mesa.
122
00:05:27,244 --> 00:05:28,568
We've got a...
123
00:05:28,787 --> 00:05:30,595
Water truck or two
coming here in a little bit.
124
00:05:30,748 --> 00:05:33,206
Um, so, really,
we'll get the drill up there.
125
00:05:33,500 --> 00:05:35,909
We'll find a place that you feel
like you can get it set up
126
00:05:36,128 --> 00:05:38,002
That's right over top
of the anomaly.
127
00:05:38,088 --> 00:05:40,171
So if we can get right
in that area
128
00:05:40,257 --> 00:05:43,049
And then drill down
on top of it,
129
00:05:43,093 --> 00:05:44,751
-That's our hope.
-Okay.
130
00:05:45,012 --> 00:05:46,720
How fast do you think
you can drill 40 feet?
131
00:05:46,930 --> 00:05:49,389
Joe: We're working
with sandstone and...
132
00:05:49,683 --> 00:05:52,442
Who knows what else through this
area right here in the mesa.
133
00:05:52,478 --> 00:05:54,478
So it could take...
134
00:05:55,481 --> 00:05:57,730
-...One foot an hour.
-Okay.
135
00:05:57,775 --> 00:05:59,291
So the rocks
aren't gonna be an issue.
136
00:05:59,401 --> 00:06:00,383
They'll just slow it down.
137
00:06:00,586 --> 00:06:01,826
Yeah.
138
00:06:01,828 --> 00:06:03,403
Travis:
Using ground-penetrating radar,
139
00:06:03,655 --> 00:06:06,756
We've identified
two possibly metallic anomalies
140
00:06:06,825 --> 00:06:08,367
Buried in the mesa.
141
00:06:09,453 --> 00:06:11,511
One is about 400 feet long,
142
00:06:11,663 --> 00:06:14,130
And we believe
that it's shaped like a dome.
143
00:06:14,291 --> 00:06:17,084
Yeah, I'm up against
something pretty hard right now.
144
00:06:17,327 --> 00:06:19,544
Could even be... Maybe a dome.
145
00:06:19,838 --> 00:06:22,455
Travis:
We've conducted
two drilling operations
146
00:06:22,633 --> 00:06:23,773
Trying to penetrate it,
147
00:06:23,842 --> 00:06:25,959
And we failed both times.
148
00:06:26,178 --> 00:06:28,545
But we did collect
small fragments
149
00:06:28,639 --> 00:06:30,931
That are made
of the same kind of materials
150
00:06:31,183 --> 00:06:33,040
That nasa uses
to protect the space shuttles
151
00:06:33,185 --> 00:06:35,135
From the extreme heat of reentry
152
00:06:35,312 --> 00:06:37,120
-From outer space.
-Erik: Oh, my.
153
00:06:38,148 --> 00:06:40,332
Travis: And behind that,
we've identified something
154
00:06:40,484 --> 00:06:43,743
In a vertical position
that's over a hundred feet tall
155
00:06:43,904 --> 00:06:46,663
And about 40 feet
below the surface of the mesa.
156
00:06:46,698 --> 00:06:48,073
Look at that.
157
00:06:49,993 --> 00:06:50,784
Since we couldn't penetrate
158
00:06:50,953 --> 00:06:52,410
The dome-shaped object,
159
00:06:52,496 --> 00:06:55,338
Joe has brought out
a manually operated drill
160
00:06:55,499 --> 00:06:57,899
That we hope can reach the
vertical anomaly from the top
161
00:06:58,043 --> 00:07:00,043
And help us identify
just what it is.
162
00:07:00,337 --> 00:07:03,346
We've got a thousand-plus pounds
of stuff to get up there.
163
00:07:03,424 --> 00:07:04,631
I guess
we should get it unloaded
164
00:07:04,883 --> 00:07:07,008
-And get started.
-Let's do it.
-Yeah. Yeah.
165
00:07:08,512 --> 00:07:10,320
So is this the heaviest part?
166
00:07:10,389 --> 00:07:12,305
-Yes.
-Oh, sheesh.
167
00:07:13,350 --> 00:07:15,183
It's not gonna be fun.
168
00:07:16,353 --> 00:07:18,895
Six years, I've heard
all kinds of crazy stories
169
00:07:19,064 --> 00:07:20,229
About this mesa.
170
00:07:20,274 --> 00:07:22,423
Spacecraft going in it,
171
00:07:22,609 --> 00:07:24,851
Tunnels, caverns,
underground bases.
172
00:07:25,028 --> 00:07:26,594
We've seen the mesa light up.
173
00:07:26,864 --> 00:07:30,940
Definitely makes me wonder
what's going on inside the mesa.
174
00:07:31,201 --> 00:07:34,286
Bryant:
Dude, where's

works is they pump water,

00:08:03,275 --> 00:08:04,390

In the south field recently,
266
00:11:47,666 --> 00:11:50,541
Given the fact that we found
this mysterious burnt post,
267
00:11:50,627 --> 00:11:53,436
This dead deer,
this strange silver object
268
00:11:53,505 --> 00:11:54,337
That looks like an orb,
269
00:11:54,539 --> 00:11:55,755
And the purple light,
270
00:11:56,007 --> 00:11:57,941
It's all starting
to connect a little bit.
271
00:11:58,135 --> 00:12:00,960
So I'll be curious to hear
what the vet thinks of it all.
272
00:12:01,138 --> 00:12:03,120
-Should we head back? Okay.
-Yeah.
273
00:12:03,223 --> 00:12:05,140
Get back to it.

00:12:13,233 --> 00:12:14,774
-Hey, bryant.
-Hey, man.

00:12:14,776 --> 00:12:17,293

Yeah, I got those sent over.
278

I'll see if
I can get her on zoom.
279
00:12:25,829 --> 00:12:28,070
-Hi, haleigh.
-How are you?
280
00:12:28,356 --> 00:12:30,156
Good. I know you're
probably tired of us
281
00:12:30,333 --> 00:12:32,733
Sending you pictures
of dead deer,
282
00:12:32,878 --> 00:12:34,294
But on this side
of the property,
283
00:12:34,546 --> 00:12:38,331
We've got two that don't
seem to be your typical...
284
00:12:38,592 --> 00:12:40,833
You know, at least from
our estimation, predator kills.
285
00:12:41,094 --> 00:12:44,094
So, what do you think of
the latest pictures we sent you?
286
00:12:44,181 --> 00:12:46,580
It's hard to say
from just pictures,
287
00:12:46,850 --> 00:12:51,936
But it looks like a similar size
as far as the actual deer is,
288
00:12:52,022 --> 00:12:54,981
But I feel like this story
is fairly different overall.
289
00:12:55,275 --> 00:12:59,194
-Okay.
-These bones have
a lot more trauma to them.
290
00:13:00,197 --> 00:13:02,780
I would say there's
more signs that either
291
00:13:02,866 --> 00:13:05,742
Predation happened
or there were bigger animals
292
00:13:05,911 --> 00:13:07,443
Attacking this animal.
293
00:13:07,579 --> 00:13:09,345
Interesting.
294
00:13:09,498 --> 00:13:10,796
I think the scapula
is really interesting.
295
00:13:10,916 --> 00:13:12,356
So, the scapula
is the shoulder blade.
296
00:13:12,584 --> 00:13:17,587
There are two large holes
towards the top of that scapula.
297
00:13:18,590 --> 00:13:20,556
And so, when I look
at that, I go,
298
00:13:20,717 --> 00:13:23,843
"well, uh, are those
canine holes or teeth holes?"
299
00:13:24,095 --> 00:13:25,512
You know, that would be
a very strong animal
300
00:13:25,680 --> 00:13:27,514
If that were the case.
301
00:13:27,724 --> 00:13:29,790
Are coyotes...
Do they get big enough
302
00:13:29,935 --> 00:13:31,384
Where they could
possibly do this?
303
00:13:31,645 --> 00:13:34,187
Or are we talking about
something bigger than that?
304
00:13:34,439 --> 00:13:37,816
I would suspect that it would be
something bigger than that.
305
00:13:39,402 --> 00:13:40,660
Wow.
306
00:13:40,737 --> 00:13:43,320
We definitely have
also heard stories
307
00:13:43,406 --> 00:13:45,748
Of big wolves
and things of that nature.
308
00:13:45,909 --> 00:13:48,317
You know, if you're talking
about that type of an animal,
309
00:13:48,578 --> 00:13:52,221
-That opens up a whole
different type of discussion.
-Yeah.
310
00:13:52,415 --> 00:13:54,498
Bryant:
I mean, we've heard
so many stories about
311
00:13:54,584 --> 00:13:56,025
Things that happened in the past
312
00:13:56,253 --> 00:13:58,744
From the sherman family
that lived here on the ranch
313
00:13:59,005 --> 00:14:01,923
When all sorts of strange things
were really happening.
314
00:14:05,095 --> 00:14:07,503
So, the way the story goes is
mr. Sherman and his son,
315
00:14:07,764 --> 00:14:11,474
They had just had some of their
prize cattle had have calves.
316
00:14:11,768 --> 00:14:15,937
Across the field, they saw what
looked like a great big wolf.
317
00:14:16,139 --> 00:14:17,521
(snarling)
318
00:14:17,607 --> 00:14:20,208
And we're talking
its head standing
319
00:14:20,360 --> 00:14:22,359
Four or five feet
off the ground.
320
00:14:22,445 --> 00:14:24,278
People equate it to a dire wolf.
321
00:14:24,364 --> 00:14:26,772
And then
one of their prized calves
322
00:14:26,992 --> 00:14:29,867
Got near the rails
of the corral,
323
00:14:29,995 --> 00:14:33,746
And the wolf reached in
and grabbed it by its snout.
324
00:14:34,749 --> 00:14:37,542
So mr. Sherman pulled out
a .357 revolver.
325
00:14:37,794 --> 00:14:42,504
-Shot it with
the full six rounds.
-(gunshots)
326
00:14:42,632 --> 00:14:46,968
And the wolf still
did not drop the calf.
327
00:14:47,929 --> 00:14:49,829
So, he had his son
run in the house
328
00:14:49,848 --> 00:14:52,957
And get his
.30-06 hunting rifle.
329
00:14:53,143 --> 00:14:54,833
Finally, after
the second shot...
330
00:14:54,978 --> 00:14:56,335
-(gunshot)
-(wolf snarling)
331
00:14:56,479 --> 00:14:59,305
...The wolf dropped the calf,
332
00:14:59,482 --> 00:15:01,140
Went trotting off,
333
00:15:01,401 --> 00:15:04,009
And then basically
disappearing into nothing
334
00:15:04,029 --> 00:15:06,946
As if the thing
had just kind of vaporized.
335
00:15:08,241 --> 00:15:11,200
The other issue is when,
if these are bigger predators,
336
00:15:11,453 --> 00:15:14,470
Cats, wolves or otherwise,
then they're not afraid
337
00:15:14,581 --> 00:15:16,072
To go after humans as well.
338
00:15:16,333 --> 00:15:20,259
So you definitely have to
make sure you guys are safe.
339
00:15:20,420 --> 00:15:23,254
Dr. Lundgreen, thank you
so much for taking the time.
340
00:15:23,548 --> 00:15:26,757
We really value and appreciate
your opinion on this stuff,
341
00:15:26,843 --> 00:15:29,152
And I'm sure that
we'll be reaching out again
342
00:15:29,220 --> 00:15:30,744
If you'll allow us to.
343
00:15:30,889 --> 00:15:32,680
Yeah, well, I'm happy to do it.
344
00:15:32,891 --> 00:15:35,058
Bryant:
Thank you so much.
345
00:15:44,778 --> 00:15:46,352
Idle up.
346
00:15:46,529 --> 00:15:48,154
-Yeah. Yeah.
-A little bit.
347
00:15:48,365 --> 00:15:50,823
The next day,
while we were waiting
348
00:15:51,034 --> 00:15:52,408
For pete kelsey
to present the data
349
00:15:52,577 --> 00:15:54,435
From his multispectral scans,
350
00:15:54,621 --> 00:15:57,454
Kaleb bench, dragon
and thomas winterton
351
00:15:57,540 --> 00:15:59,849
Hiked up to the top of the mesa
to check in with joe loeb
352
00:16:00,001 --> 00:16:02,609
On the progress
of his drilling operation.
353
00:16:02,879 --> 00:16:06,355
Thomas:
We're sitting right on top
of that gpr anomaly
354
00:16:06,424 --> 00:16:07,781
That jan showed us.
355
00:16:07,926 --> 00:16:11,702
-So, is it drilling then?
-A little bit.
356
00:16:11,846 --> 00:16:13,178
Thomas:
A little bit?
357
00:16:13,264 --> 00:16:15,097
It's doing about
three inches an hour.
358
00:16:15,266 --> 00:16:19,485
-All right.
-It might just be
a heavy rock right up here.
359
00:16:19,604 --> 00:16:21,812
If we catch that bite,
that holds it tight.
360
00:16:21,898 --> 00:16:24,774
Thomas:
It's gonna take a while,
slow but steady.
361
00:16:25,068 --> 00:16:27,376
Joe:
We're just grinding
through this rock right now.
362
00:16:27,487 --> 00:16:29,045
We got to bust through
that crust
363
00:16:29,114 --> 00:16:30,446
To get it stabilized.
364
00:16:30,657 --> 00:16:32,699
-(grinding)
-(whirring)
365
00:16:43,003 --> 00:16:44,877
Erik:
Well, you ready to...
366
00:16:45,088 --> 00:16:47,562
Have a conversation
with pete kelsey
367
00:16:47,590 --> 00:16:50,115
-And review some data with us?
-Always ready.
368
00:16:50,117 --> 00:16:51,384
Travis:
Later that afternoon,
369
00:16:51,636 --> 00:16:53,419
Erik gathered us all
in the command center
370
00:16:53,596 --> 00:16:55,254
After pete kelsey told him
371
00:16:55,515 --> 00:16:58,424
He had fully processed
the data from the scans between
372
00:16:58,643 --> 00:17:01,260
The mesa drill site
and homestead two.
373
00:17:01,438 --> 00:17:04,430
-Hey.
-Hey there, pete.
-Hey, pete.
374
00:17:04,691 --> 00:17:08,200
-Hey, guys.
-Well, as usual,
we're in suspense.
375
00:17:08,278 --> 00:17:11,737
So, um, this is one look
at the data,
376
00:17:11,781 --> 00:17:13,740
The multispectral data we flew.
377
00:17:15,285 --> 00:17:17,593
Hey, pete,
what's the color scale mean?
378
00:17:17,787 --> 00:17:22,098
Essentially, where it's bright
is where, frankly,
379
00:17:22,250 --> 00:17:25,585
The grass or the hay
is doing really well.
380
00:17:25,795 --> 00:17:29,105
Where it's bright,
the grass is doing well.
381
00:17:29,174 --> 00:17:31,532
Where it's dark, it's really dry
382
00:17:31,718 --> 00:17:34,810
And the grass or hay
isn't doing so well.
383
00:17:34,846 --> 00:17:36,662
So, to cut to the chase,
384
00:17:36,806 --> 00:17:38,765
After looking at this
for a while,
385
00:17:38,975 --> 00:17:43,561
What stands out
is a perfect circle.
386
00:17:45,482 --> 00:17:48,232
Look right there
by th-the bait pen.
387
00:17:48,359 --> 00:17:51,778
There are three circles that
are just absolutely circular.
388
00:17:51,988 --> 00:17:54,146
-Look to the left
of the bait pen.
-Yep.
389
00:17:54,324 --> 00:17:55,965
-Erik: Just to the west.
-Yep.
390
00:17:56,159 --> 00:18:00,078
I can play with the spectrum
to make this more obvious.
391
00:18:01,164 --> 00:18:03,230
Travis:
Yeah, right there.
392
00:18:03,333 --> 00:18:04,907
They look unnatural.
393
00:18:05,043 --> 00:18:06,959
What's interesting about this,
394
00:18:07,170 --> 00:18:09,011
Among other things,
is where it is.
395
00:18:09,172 --> 00:18:12,256
It's right across
from the drill site.
396
00:18:12,258 --> 00:18:14,258
Wow.
397
00:18:14,302 --> 00:18:16,094
Pete:
That's pretty crazy.
398
00:18:19,015 --> 00:18:21,140
Travis: Look right there
by the bait pen.
399
00:18:21,351 --> 00:18:23,934
There are three circles.
Yeah, right there.
400
00:18:24,020 --> 00:18:26,428
If I play with the colorization
a little bit,
401
00:18:26,689 --> 00:18:28,881
You can see how I can
make this look like this.
402
00:18:29,025 --> 00:18:30,291
Travis:
Okay.
403
00:18:30,401 --> 00:18:32,067
The three circular formations
404
00:18:32,153 --> 00:18:33,869
In pete kelsey's
multispectral scans
405
00:18:33,905 --> 00:18:35,963
Between the mesa drill site
406
00:18:36,074 --> 00:18:38,374
And homestead two
were really odd.
407
00:18:38,535 --> 00:18:41,076
Especially because
they were in the same area
408
00:18:41,162 --> 00:18:43,270
Where we got
all the bizarre gps data
409
00:18:43,456 --> 00:18:45,998
During our tour
with jay stratton.
410
00:18:47,710 --> 00:18:50,386
We're talking about
these circular things here?
411
00:18:50,547 --> 00:18:51,954
-Yeah.
-Those are the ones
that really stand out.
412
00:18:52,215 --> 00:18:54,290
Yeah. They really do.
They do look out of place.
413
00:18:54,551 --> 00:18:57,142
And that's right across
from the drill site.
414
00:18:57,220 --> 00:18:58,894
Pete:
I mean, I'm not a...
415
00:18:59,055 --> 00:19:02,365
I'm not a botanist, but how's
that gonna happen naturally?
416
00:19:02,559 --> 00:19:06,686
Travis:
And at this spot right here,
if you recall,
417
00:19:06,938 --> 00:19:09,989
That's where jay's gps data
went way underground.
418
00:19:10,108 --> 00:19:12,090
Maybe as much
as a quarter of a mile.
419
00:19:12,235 --> 00:19:14,694
That's really interesting.
420
00:19:14,946 --> 00:19:16,837
Travis:
It's clear that someone,
or something,
421
00:19:17,073 --> 00:19:20,549
Has disturbed the ground where
these circles were identified.
422
00:19:20,702 --> 00:19:22,584
Now, it could be
that they were simply left
423
00:19:22,745 --> 00:19:25,997
By old grain silos that previous
ranchers had used there.
424
00:19:27,584 --> 00:19:29,333
Kris porrit: Right over there
by that tree.
425
00:19:29,419 --> 00:19:30,926
Travis:
But it also reminded me
426
00:19:31,087 --> 00:19:33,670
Of when retired
local sheriff kris porritt
427
00:19:33,756 --> 00:19:35,597
Visited the ranch two years ago.
428
00:19:35,758 --> 00:19:37,900
He shared an incredible story
about something he saw
429
00:19:38,052 --> 00:19:41,770
Back in the 1980s
not far from the south field
430
00:19:41,931 --> 00:19:43,939
Where we found
the deer carcasses,
431
00:19:44,058 --> 00:19:46,183
Saw the purple light
near the ground
432
00:19:46,269 --> 00:19:48,577
And the uap in the sky
above thomas.
433
00:19:48,646 --> 00:19:50,687
So, this is the spot.
434
00:19:50,815 --> 00:19:54,266
There was matted grass
where something heavy had sat
435
00:19:54,527 --> 00:19:57,511
In these weeds and made
an impression in the dirt.
436
00:19:57,614 --> 00:20:00,907
23 feet, tip to tip.
437
00:20:01,951 --> 00:20:06,078
I presume that
it was a spaceship.
438
00:20:09,083 --> 00:20:10,875
I've said it, didn't I?
439
00:20:13,630 --> 00:20:16,923
Pete, are there
any other circular features
440
00:20:17,175 --> 00:20:20,234
That stand out so clearly
as these besides the bait pen?
441
00:20:20,345 --> 00:20:22,628
Pete:
Not as clearly,
442
00:20:22,805 --> 00:20:26,039
As well-defined as these.
443
00:20:26,184 --> 00:20:28,233
Travis:
Who knows?
444
00:20:28,394 --> 00:20:30,870
Maybe these circles
have a mundane explanation,
445
00:20:30,980 --> 00:20:33,989
But since they appeared
in the same area
446
00:20:34,150 --> 00:20:37,109
Where the gps data from
our ranch tour with jay stratton
447
00:20:37,320 --> 00:20:39,628
Inexplicably went underground,
448
00:20:39,781 --> 00:20:42,331
We need to investigate them
and look for any other
449
00:20:42,367 --> 00:20:44,366
Anomalies in the data.
450
00:20:44,410 --> 00:20:46,344
Got any other cool spots?
451
00:20:46,496 --> 00:20:50,414
Pete:
I do. So, the next bit...
452
00:20:50,416 --> 00:20:52,341
Is right here.
453
00:20:52,502 --> 00:20:53,659
-Just to the west? Uh-huh.
-Pete: Yeah.
454
00:20:53,836 --> 00:20:55,962
This is homestead two
right here.
455
00:20:56,130 --> 00:20:57,313
Erik:
Okay.
456
00:20:57,423 --> 00:21:02,017
What I see
that doesn't quite fit
457
00:21:02,053 --> 00:21:03,593
Is down here.
458
00:21:03,680 --> 00:21:05,929
There's a horizontal line
right here.
459
00:21:06,015 --> 00:21:08,157
Pete, go to the grayscale view.
460
00:21:08,226 --> 00:21:10,175
Hold on a minute, pete.
461
00:21:10,353 --> 00:21:12,002
It's actually four lines.
462
00:21:12,230 --> 00:21:15,422
If you look closely, you got
the top one, and then the one
463
00:21:15,650 --> 00:21:18,200
Right under it is kind of broken
in the dark spot there.
464
00:21:18,319 --> 00:21:20,486
Yep. And then there's
the one under that
465
00:21:20,697 --> 00:21:21,821
And then the bottom one.
466
00:21:22,031 --> 00:21:23,764
It might even be five lines.
467
00:21:23,866 --> 00:21:26,132
Pete:
It's just strange.
468
00:21:26,134 --> 00:21:28,861
Erik:
So, pete, I'm just wondering...
469
00:21:29,038 --> 00:21:31,180
What do you think
those lines are?
470
00:21:31,332 --> 00:21:33,957
Well, if that's
some kind of a depression,
471
00:21:34,085 --> 00:21:37,536
That's gonna pool water and the
plants will grow differently.
472
00:21:37,880 --> 00:21:41,390
Travis:
The lines pete detected just
west of the strange circles
473
00:21:41,551 --> 00:21:43,725
And to the south
of our drill site in the mesa
474
00:21:43,886 --> 00:21:47,471
Also didn't look like anything
that would've formed in nature.
475
00:21:47,557 --> 00:21:50,307
We couldn't tell from this data
how deep they were
476
00:21:50,393 --> 00:21:52,018
From the surface,
but it looked like
477
00:21:52,228 --> 00:21:54,795
Somebody or something
created them.
478
00:21:54,897 --> 00:21:56,022
The question was:
479
00:21:56,232 --> 00:21:58,441
Could they be
what made the gps data
480
00:21:58,735 --> 00:22:02,077
From our tour with jay stratton
go deep underground?
481
00:22:02,238 --> 00:22:04,663
Now, thomas, when you walk
in that area there
482
00:22:04,782 --> 00:22:07,391
Where we see those,
uh, lines from left to right,
483
00:22:07,577 --> 00:22:08,843
Have you picked up on anything?
484
00:22:08,953 --> 00:22:10,285
Is there anything
about the ground
485
00:22:10,330 --> 00:22:11,887
That stands out to you?
486
00:22:12,081 --> 00:22:14,206
I-I can't say that I've noticed
anything out there.
487
00:22:14,367 --> 00:22:15,665
Hmm.
488
00:22:15,752 --> 00:22:18,068
You look everywhere else
where the water runs,
489
00:22:18,254 --> 00:22:20,329
It looks more natural
and random.
490
00:22:20,506 --> 00:22:21,838
But you look at that spot,
491
00:22:21,924 --> 00:22:23,049
It looks like
it was a cut channel.
492
00:22:23,292 --> 00:22:26,752
Pete:
That suggests man-made to me.
493
00:22:26,971 --> 00:22:30,281
Anything that linear,
that orthogonal,
494
00:22:30,433 --> 00:22:34,418
That to me suggests
somebody dug a trench.
495
00:22:34,604 --> 00:22:37,429
The other thing that maybe
it's not so obvious
496
00:22:37,648 --> 00:22:41,400
Is-is they're on
a perfect east-west line.
497
00:22:42,653 --> 00:22:45,212
What are the odds of that?
498
00:22:45,365 --> 00:22:46,955
Could it be
when bigelow was here,
499
00:22:47,116 --> 00:22:49,458
-Maybe bigelow dug there?
-Erik: Good question.
500
00:22:49,619 --> 00:22:52,794
So does that mean that this
space has already been searched?
501
00:22:52,955 --> 00:22:55,581
That makes me think
that maybe it has been.
502
00:22:55,792 --> 00:22:58,250
But, guys, I mean,
this is in the area
503
00:22:58,461 --> 00:22:59,752
We were told not to dig.
504
00:22:59,912 --> 00:23:01,253
Right.
505
00:23:01,464 --> 00:23:02,779
Travis:
Two years ago...
506
00:23:02,965 --> 00:23:05,958
There is an actual location
on the ranch
507
00:23:06,135 --> 00:23:09,052
Where the shermans
said not to dig.
508
00:23:09,180 --> 00:23:11,405
Travis:
...The current ranch owner
brandon fugal
509
00:23:11,557 --> 00:23:13,307
Was warned
that disturbing the ground
510
00:23:13,559 --> 00:23:15,500
In this same area
near homestead two
511
00:23:15,686 --> 00:23:18,061
Would cause
dangerous phenomena to occur.
512
00:23:18,189 --> 00:23:21,107
The shermans worked the ranch
before and during
513
00:23:21,359 --> 00:23:23,884
The bigelow investigations
from the late 1990s
514
00:23:23,986 --> 00:23:25,719
To the early 2000s.
515
00:23:25,863 --> 00:23:27,613
A lot of the details of that era
516
00:23:27,865 --> 00:23:30,116
Have still never been released
to the public.
517
00:23:30,410 --> 00:23:34,336
So, could these anomalies
in the field near homestead two
518
00:23:34,497 --> 00:23:38,064
Be related to digging operations
conducted by that team
519
00:23:38,292 --> 00:23:41,460
And also explain why they said
no one should ever dig there?
520
00:23:41,671 --> 00:23:44,146
There might be
only one way to find out.
521
00:23:44,215 --> 00:23:46,848
After looking at this, I think
522
00:23:47,009 --> 00:23:49,985
That maybe bigelow was
out here doing some digging.
523
00:23:50,096 --> 00:23:52,671
So, it's not hard
for me to believe
524
00:23:52,932 --> 00:23:55,432
That they were out here
searching for something as well.
525
00:23:55,518 --> 00:23:57,476
I think there's some excavation
we could do there.
526
00:23:57,728 --> 00:23:59,728
But now since we know
their lines went east and west,
527
00:23:59,897 --> 00:24:01,247
I think we ought to start
528
00:24:01,399 --> 00:24:03,607
And go north and south
and dig some swipes.
529
00:24:03,693 --> 00:24:05,484
-See if we can intersect it.
-Yeah.
530
00:24:05,736 --> 00:24:07,769
Yeah, you want to get down
in that, in that plane
531
00:24:07,989 --> 00:24:09,871
And see what those
differences really are,
532
00:24:09,991 --> 00:24:11,865
If they go deeper
than the surface.
533
00:24:11,993 --> 00:24:13,659
Yeah, if it's compacted
and then it's loose, right?
534
00:24:13,903 --> 00:24:15,393
-Yeah.
-Then we'd know
they'd dug there before.
535
00:24:15,538 --> 00:24:17,938
So, are we all
in agreement, then?
536
00:24:18,124 --> 00:24:19,848
We want to go out and dig
those couple spots?
537
00:24:19,917 --> 00:24:21,107
-Erik: Yeah.
-Yeah.
538
00:24:21,294 --> 00:24:22,834
Okay, so I'll make
some arrangements
539
00:24:22,879 --> 00:24:25,120
And we'll get
a excavator out here
540
00:24:25,298 --> 00:24:27,006
-And we'll go out and dig.
-Okay.
541
00:24:27,216 --> 00:24:29,884
Erik:
Yep, love it.
542
00:24:35,600 --> 00:24:38,434
Joe: We'll just keep grinding
on this for right now.
543
00:24:40,271 --> 00:24:43,372
Yeah, sending you guys water.
Let me know if you get
544
00:24:43,441 --> 00:24:44,523
Good pressure up there.
545
00:24:44,734 --> 00:24:46,383
We're good for a little bit.
546
00:24:46,569 --> 00:24:47,610
Travis:
The following morning,
547
00:24:47,820 --> 00:24:49,695
While joe loeb
continued drilling
548
00:24:49,906 --> 00:24:51,322
Into the top of the mesa...
549
00:24:52,742 --> 00:24:54,733
...The rest of us
joined thomas winterton
550
00:24:54,952 --> 00:24:56,902
Out in the field
near homestead two
551
00:24:57,163 --> 00:25:00,514
Where he was waiting
with a three-ton excavator.
552
00:25:00,666 --> 00:25:02,374
We were eager
to start digging to see
553
00:25:02,668 --> 00:25:05,744
Just what all these anomalies
under the surface could be.
554
00:25:05,922 --> 00:25:08,747
Well, the lines are over there
555
00:25:08,966 --> 00:25:10,716
'cause that hole,
that pile of dirt right there,
556
00:25:10,927 --> 00:25:12,901
Is between
the bottom two, right?
557
00:25:12,970 --> 00:25:16,079
I think it's right here.
558
00:25:16,265 --> 00:25:18,240
I don't know, where do you
think about digging?
559
00:25:18,392 --> 00:25:21,201
Well, my thoughts would be
to start about right here
560
00:25:21,437 --> 00:25:24,930
And do a trench probably back
to where you're at, travis.
561
00:25:25,107 --> 00:25:26,065
Listen, we'll get started.
562
00:25:26,275 --> 00:25:27,900
Thomas, you get yourself
in place.
563
00:25:29,987 --> 00:25:32,454
-(beeping)
-(engine starts)
564
00:25:32,657 --> 00:25:35,473
Erik:
Before we start disturbing
the earth, we want to make sure
565
00:25:35,660 --> 00:25:37,642
That we have all the monitoring
equipment in place
566
00:25:37,828 --> 00:25:39,428
To detect anything
that we might stir up
567
00:25:39,497 --> 00:25:41,213
As a result of the digging.
568
00:25:41,374 --> 00:25:43,682
-Are you monitoring
1.6 right now?
-I am right now.
569
00:25:43,960 --> 00:25:47,286
Bryant:
This data we've received from
pete is really amazing stuff,
570
00:25:47,463 --> 00:25:48,887
And we're all anxious to see
571
00:25:48,965 --> 00:25:50,363
What in the world
it could be about,
572
00:25:50,508 --> 00:25:53,125
But the fact
that this is leading
573
00:25:53,386 --> 00:25:55,627
To another digging exercise
on skinwalker ranch
574
00:25:55,846 --> 00:25:57,963
Really kind of makes me
a little bit nervous.
575
00:25:58,182 --> 00:26:00,174
I don't know
what it is about digging,
576
00:26:00,268 --> 00:26:03,285
But we need to be very careful
and tread lightly.
577
00:26:03,354 --> 00:26:05,062
Travis:
Let's get digging.
578
00:26:11,862 --> 00:26:14,071
Travis:
Let's get digging.
579
00:26:18,202 --> 00:26:20,001
Ever since the first day
I was involved
580
00:26:20,162 --> 00:26:22,404
In the investigation
of skinwalker ranch,
581
00:26:22,623 --> 00:26:25,899
I was told bad things happen
when you dig here.
582
00:26:26,168 --> 00:26:30,086
But after seeing pete kelsey's
multispectral data scans
583
00:26:30,172 --> 00:26:32,815
Showing five mysterious lines
in the field
584
00:26:32,883 --> 00:26:34,633
Just east of homestead two,
585
00:26:34,885 --> 00:26:37,303
We knew we had to take
a risk and dig.
586
00:26:37,513 --> 00:26:39,863
-That's good topsoil.
-Kaleb: Yeah.
587
00:26:40,016 --> 00:26:42,932
We need to know
what these lines actually are
588
00:26:43,019 --> 00:26:44,476
And how they might be connected
589
00:26:44,729 --> 00:26:46,528
To all the strange phenomena
that people have encountered
590
00:26:46,689 --> 00:26:49,690
In this section of the ranch
over the years.
591
00:26:52,778 --> 00:26:55,613
Kaleb, you want to see
what's right there?
592
00:26:58,909 --> 00:27:00,701
Is that just rocks?
593
00:27:02,747 --> 00:27:05,622
I'm seeing some coloration
in there.
594
00:27:05,750 --> 00:27:08,383
Yeah, it's like there's
a layer of it or something.
595
00:27:08,544 --> 00:27:12,053
And you can see it,
especially right there.
596
00:27:12,214 --> 00:27:16,342
There was a consistent layer
of some kind of material.
597
00:27:16,552 --> 00:27:18,894
I don't know
what this material is,
598
00:27:19,055 --> 00:27:21,471
But we've done some digging
on other areas of the ranch,
599
00:27:21,599 --> 00:27:24,391
And it is different than what
we are seeing in other places.
600
00:27:25,478 --> 00:27:28,211
Okay, well,
maybe another 20 feet?
601
00:27:28,314 --> 00:27:29,396
Kaleb:
Yeah.
602
00:27:36,072 --> 00:27:37,654
Travis:
Find something, kaleb?
603
00:27:37,740 --> 00:27:40,315
He's been getting
some, like, striation.
604
00:27:40,534 --> 00:27:43,077
-Starts about right there.
-Oh, yeah, right there.
605
00:27:45,706 --> 00:27:47,331
But does it stop?
606
00:27:48,793 --> 00:27:51,410
Oh, whoa, wait a minute.
607
00:27:51,629 --> 00:27:53,045
Thomas:
Did you find something?
608
00:27:54,423 --> 00:27:56,081
Travis:
There's something different
in the dirt right here.
609
00:27:56,300 --> 00:27:59,159
So, look, thomas,
the clay-looking stuff stops
610
00:27:59,345 --> 00:28:01,887
-Right there
and it starts right here.
-Yep.
611
00:28:04,308 --> 00:28:06,041
Travis:
And that would be
where the line is.
612
00:28:06,102 --> 00:28:08,160
So, the line would be like this,
and that's the line.
613
00:28:08,270 --> 00:28:11,730
And it's about
bulldozer width, too.
614
00:28:13,041 --> 00:28:14,983
Hey, guys,
y'all come look at this!
615
00:28:14,985 --> 00:28:16,527
What do you got?
616
00:28:16,779 --> 00:28:19,238
-Did you find a discontinuity?
-Yeah.
617
00:28:19,448 --> 00:28:21,706
You see this gray clay stuff?
618
00:28:21,784 --> 00:28:23,926
-Yep, yep.
-And it stops right there.
619
00:28:23,994 --> 00:28:26,294
Erik:
Yeah.
620
00:28:26,455 --> 00:28:29,464
I'm looking through here, and
I'm not seeing anything like...
621
00:28:29,625 --> 00:28:31,500
Erik:
No, there's nothing
like that through here.
622
00:28:31,752 --> 00:28:33,552
-Travis: It's a layer.
-Bryant: Definitely a layer.
623
00:28:33,629 --> 00:28:35,528
And it's about bulldozer width.
624
00:28:35,631 --> 00:28:37,088
Erik:
Yeah.
625
00:28:37,174 --> 00:28:39,574
Travis:
Well, I wasn't expecting that.
626
00:28:39,802 --> 00:28:42,761
Erik:
We have some layer
very near the anomaly
627
00:28:42,972 --> 00:28:46,039
That we got
out of pete kelsey's survey.
628
00:28:46,183 --> 00:28:47,832
That's pretty interesting.
629
00:28:47,977 --> 00:28:49,968
It's obvious that this is a spot
630
00:28:50,229 --> 00:28:52,487
That we really need to learn
as much as we can about.
631
00:28:52,523 --> 00:28:53,897
There you go.
632
00:28:53,983 --> 00:28:55,274
Right there's a piece of it,
right there.
633
00:28:56,652 --> 00:28:59,661
Erik:
It's got some really fine
crystalline material in it.
634
00:28:59,822 --> 00:29:01,313
Travis:
There's a crystal
in there, absolutely.
635
00:29:01,490 --> 00:29:02,906
'cause it glistens
in the sunlight.
636
00:29:02,992 --> 00:29:05,617
So what is that doing
just in that spot?
637
00:29:05,911 --> 00:29:08,954
-And why is there five stripes
of it in the field?
-Yeah.
638
00:29:09,165 --> 00:29:11,506
What on earth is it? I mean...
639
00:29:11,625 --> 00:29:13,041
Bryant:
You wouldn't think
that would make an effect
640
00:29:13,210 --> 00:29:14,826
-On the vegetation.
-Yeah.
641
00:29:14,879 --> 00:29:16,778
-But why is it here?
-Erik: Yeah, why is it here?
642
00:29:17,047 --> 00:29:18,755
-Kaleb: That's interesting.
-Yeah, why isn't it
everywhere, right?
643
00:29:18,841 --> 00:29:22,842
-Yeah.
-Travis: That's a telltale
sign of something.
644
00:29:22,887 --> 00:29:24,595
But of what? I don't know.
645
00:29:25,723 --> 00:29:28,490
Neither erik nor I had any idea
646
00:29:28,642 --> 00:29:30,583
What to make of the grayish
material we uncovered
647
00:29:30,770 --> 00:29:33,353
In the field
just east of homestead two.
648
00:29:33,481 --> 00:29:36,364
But it definitely corresponded
with the lines we saw
649
00:29:36,525 --> 00:29:39,609
In pete kelsey's
multispectral scans of the area.
650
00:29:39,695 --> 00:29:42,037
If nothing else, it tells us...
651
00:29:42,156 --> 00:29:43,989
How accurate
that multispectral data is.
652
00:29:44,241 --> 00:29:46,641
-That's pretty impressive.
-That's amazing.
653
00:29:46,869 --> 00:29:48,368
Well, are you gonna run
another one on this side
654
00:29:48,704 --> 00:29:51,079
-To see if it continues on?
-Thomas: Probably should, huh?
655
00:29:51,207 --> 00:29:54,157
We could go over closer to
the tree and-and dig that way.
656
00:29:54,210 --> 00:29:56,801
If you hit another stripe
back there, thomas,
657
00:29:56,879 --> 00:29:58,553
Then we may have
found these lines.
658
00:29:58,714 --> 00:30:01,197
Okay, well, I'll take
the excavator over there,
659
00:30:01,383 --> 00:30:02,874
And we'll dig a trench
over there.
660
00:30:03,093 --> 00:30:04,885
Travis:
We'll see you over there, man.
661
00:30:06,889 --> 00:30:08,739
(beeping)
662
00:30:08,891 --> 00:30:10,649
Now that we've intersected
the first line,
663
00:30:10,768 --> 00:30:12,784
We need to go
to the other end of it
664
00:30:12,895 --> 00:30:14,636
And do another
cross-section dig.
665
00:30:14,897 --> 00:30:18,573
That way, we can confirm
that what we're finding here
666
00:30:18,692 --> 00:30:20,425
Continues just
as the data shows.
667
00:30:20,569 --> 00:30:23,745
As of now, we're all stumped
668
00:30:23,906 --> 00:30:26,489
As to what in the heck
this stuff could be.
669
00:30:26,575 --> 00:30:29,309
This is as close
as I want to get to this tree
670
00:30:29,495 --> 00:30:31,144
So I'm not getting
into some heavy roots.
671
00:30:31,288 --> 00:30:33,847
-Yeah.
-We'll dig it back a ways
672
00:30:33,999 --> 00:30:35,323
And see if we can find
those same layers.
673
00:30:35,543 --> 00:30:36,992
All right, we'll get
out of your way, thomas.
674
00:30:37,169 --> 00:30:38,418
Thomas:
Okay.
675
00:30:43,592 --> 00:30:46,844
Travis:
It should be all
coming in right in here.
676
00:30:47,847 --> 00:30:49,012
Can you see it?
677
00:30:49,056 --> 00:30:50,513
-Uh-uh.
-Me, neither.
678
00:30:50,516 --> 00:30:52,724
(beeping)
679
00:30:57,481 --> 00:30:59,647
Yeah, look at that right there.
680
00:30:59,775 --> 00:31:02,434
Travis:
Hey, thomas, stop, stop, stop!
681
00:31:02,611 --> 00:31:04,269
You see something?
682
00:31:04,446 --> 00:31:07,865
Yeah, it's a big piece
of something.
683
00:31:09,451 --> 00:31:12,703
Travis:
It's hard for me to believe
that's mother nature.
684
00:31:16,709 --> 00:31:18,083
Travis: It's hard for me to
believe that's mother nature.
685
00:31:18,294 --> 00:31:20,518
Yeah, but is it
that same material?
686
00:31:20,520 --> 00:31:22,337
It doesn't break
like the other stuff.
687
00:31:23,799 --> 00:31:26,216
There's a metal post
right behind you.
688
00:31:28,053 --> 00:31:30,203
-Yep. It's the stuff.
-It's the same stuff.
689
00:31:30,306 --> 00:31:31,646
Looks just like it.
690
00:31:31,765 --> 00:31:34,266
-It's a good sample.
-A real good sample.
691
00:31:34,476 --> 00:31:36,459
I'm gonna make sure
erik gets this.
692
00:31:36,645 --> 00:31:38,978
Bryant:
We didn't know what to expect
693
00:31:39,106 --> 00:31:41,631
From pete's multispectral data,
but it's pretty amazing.
694
00:31:41,817 --> 00:31:43,525
What in the world
are those lines
695
00:31:43,694 --> 00:31:44,968
And why are they here?
696
00:31:45,154 --> 00:31:47,637
Sounds like you guys
have got something.
697
00:31:47,823 --> 00:31:50,799
We can't think of
a mundane explanation as to why
698
00:31:50,993 --> 00:31:53,476
A farmer would dig
five straight lines in a field
699
00:31:53,704 --> 00:31:57,005
And put this, you know, gray,
silvery, shiny rock in there.
700
00:31:57,007 --> 00:31:58,673
Mm-hmm.
701
00:31:58,834 --> 00:32:01,676
Travis:
And-and there's no...
It makes no sense.
702
00:32:01,837 --> 00:32:05,330
-That you can only see
in the multispectrum.
-Right.
703
00:32:05,507 --> 00:32:06,848
We-- just think about it.
704
00:32:06,967 --> 00:32:08,133
We would've never even
thought about this
705
00:32:08,344 --> 00:32:12,020
But having that
multispectral data.
706
00:32:12,181 --> 00:32:13,847
And we look at it,
we see these lines,
707
00:32:14,091 --> 00:32:16,349
We come looking for it,
we find it,
708
00:32:16,352 --> 00:32:17,834
But why is it there?
709
00:32:18,020 --> 00:32:19,661
So I know your wheels
are already turning.
710
00:32:19,855 --> 00:32:22,588
Maybe you've got some ideas
about what's going on here.
711
00:32:22,733 --> 00:32:24,107
Travis:
Erik was right.
712
00:32:24,193 --> 00:32:26,776
I was trying to come up
with some reason
713
00:32:26,862 --> 00:32:28,987
For these straight lines
of crystal-like materials
714
00:32:29,198 --> 00:32:32,023
That looked
very clearly deposited.
715
00:32:32,201 --> 00:32:33,616
-Two thoughts.
-Erik: Okay.
716
00:32:33,702 --> 00:32:34,826
And both of them
are a little bit crazy.
717
00:32:35,037 --> 00:32:37,862
Imagine maybe during
the bigelow era,
718
00:32:38,082 --> 00:32:40,273
They were doing
some classified program
719
00:32:40,376 --> 00:32:42,601
And they dug straight lines,
720
00:32:42,711 --> 00:32:44,102
Put this reflective
material in it,
721
00:32:44,213 --> 00:32:45,470
Then covered it all up
722
00:32:45,631 --> 00:32:48,281
So they could look at it
with a classified sensor
723
00:32:48,384 --> 00:32:49,891
From space or high altitude.
724
00:32:50,052 --> 00:32:52,711
-Okay.
-But that's a stretch.
To what end?
725
00:32:52,930 --> 00:32:54,696
To what purpose?
How would you do that?
726
00:32:54,890 --> 00:32:57,532
Why would you do that? And
the technology wasn't there yet.
727
00:32:57,726 --> 00:33:01,486
The other one is, if you were
an advanced civilization
728
00:33:01,647 --> 00:33:04,706
And you were marking
an area for some reason
729
00:33:04,858 --> 00:33:07,075
And you didn't want
the indigenous population
730
00:33:07,236 --> 00:33:10,895
To know about it, uh,
you would put it in a way
731
00:33:11,115 --> 00:33:13,781
That is, in plain sight,
we would've never found it
732
00:33:13,909 --> 00:33:17,411
Had we not had the multispectral
technology to find it there.
733
00:33:17,579 --> 00:33:19,420
And that's how we found it.
734
00:33:19,581 --> 00:33:22,665
Who's to say it's not reflective
in some other phenomenology
735
00:33:22,751 --> 00:33:24,926
That's more advanced than
the multispectral thing?
736
00:33:25,087 --> 00:33:27,503
It might be a bright beacon
of five lines out here
737
00:33:27,631 --> 00:33:30,732
In the field that you can see
from way up above it.
738
00:33:30,926 --> 00:33:33,342
-Yeah.
-Travis: Right?
Why in this one spot?
739
00:33:33,429 --> 00:33:34,769
Why convergent right here
at this tree?
740
00:33:34,847 --> 00:33:36,546
I find that weird.
741
00:33:36,598 --> 00:33:39,391
These five perfect stripes
in this field
742
00:33:39,601 --> 00:33:41,393
Make about as much sense to me
743
00:33:41,603 --> 00:33:43,703
As that big dome object
in the mesa.
744
00:33:43,939 --> 00:33:47,065
Travis:
I came to skinwalker ranch
as a skeptic four years ago.
745
00:33:47,317 --> 00:33:50,085
But after seeing
more uaps than I can count
746
00:33:50,237 --> 00:33:53,530
And detecting all kinds
of mysterious frequencies,
747
00:33:53,782 --> 00:33:55,865
Some of which may be
communication signals,
748
00:33:55,951 --> 00:33:58,426
I don't know
what to think anymore.
749
00:33:58,495 --> 00:34:00,412
I can't believe this is natural.
750
00:34:00,664 --> 00:34:03,206
If it were natural,
it would be all over the ranch.
751
00:34:03,250 --> 00:34:05,274
-Yeah.
-Right?
-Yeah, yeah.
752
00:34:05,461 --> 00:34:08,052
So, it seems fairly obvious
that our first order
753
00:34:08,213 --> 00:34:10,288
Of business here is to get
that off to the university
754
00:34:10,549 --> 00:34:12,807
And have our contacts there
do an analysis on it.
755
00:34:12,968 --> 00:34:16,219
-All right. All right.
-All right,
let's go pack it up.
756
00:34:25,689 --> 00:34:27,155
Hey, you guys.
757
00:34:27,316 --> 00:34:28,623
-How you doing?
-What are we looking at today?
758
00:34:28,776 --> 00:34:30,658
Uh, we're looking at
the elemental analysis
759
00:34:30,819 --> 00:34:32,827
On some of the samples
that we recently collected.
760
00:34:32,946 --> 00:34:34,720
We sent them off,
had them analyzed
761
00:34:34,865 --> 00:34:37,081
At the university of, uh, utah.
762
00:34:37,201 --> 00:34:39,500
This is university of utah,
geophysics.
763
00:34:39,661 --> 00:34:41,469
Travis:
After the dig
near homestead two,
764
00:34:41,580 --> 00:34:42,904
We got the lab results back
765
00:34:43,165 --> 00:34:45,740
On the crystal-like samples
we dug up there.
766
00:34:46,001 --> 00:34:49,085
So, erik and I couldn't wait
to share them with the team.
767
00:34:49,171 --> 00:34:51,162
The interesting thing is, uh...
768
00:34:51,340 --> 00:34:54,349
So, if you scroll a little bit
769
00:34:54,468 --> 00:34:55,801
To the right there, erik,
so we can see it.
770
00:34:56,053 --> 00:34:59,512
What it's got in it,
the-the abundant materials in it
771
00:34:59,515 --> 00:35:04,267
Are sodium, magnesium...
772
00:35:04,353 --> 00:35:06,769
There's a little bit
of scandium, but not a lot,
773
00:35:06,855 --> 00:35:09,438
But a lot of calcium
and potassium,
774
00:35:09,525 --> 00:35:12,334
And there's a lot
of aluminum and iron.
775
00:35:12,528 --> 00:35:15,611
Well, if you remember when
we analyzed the drill mud...
776
00:35:15,697 --> 00:35:18,614
-Uh-huh.
-...Uh, it was
the same materials,
777
00:35:18,700 --> 00:35:21,325
Almost to the, to a "t"
with the percentages.
778
00:35:21,453 --> 00:35:24,362
So, what we're seeing here
is that whatever is inside
779
00:35:24,540 --> 00:35:26,030
The mesa where we drilled
780
00:35:26,250 --> 00:35:29,084
Is also what these
white-gray lines are
781
00:35:29,378 --> 00:35:32,453
That's out there that the
multispectral sensor picked up.
782
00:35:32,714 --> 00:35:34,889
That's the same mud
that's inside the mesa.
783
00:35:34,925 --> 00:35:36,616
Interesting.
784
00:35:36,760 --> 00:35:39,118
-But in strips?
-Travis: Yeah.
785
00:35:39,263 --> 00:35:40,970
The mud that's inside the mesa,
786
00:35:41,056 --> 00:35:43,348
How did it get out there
into the field
787
00:35:43,559 --> 00:35:46,184
In the same place in five lines?
788
00:35:46,436 --> 00:35:48,436
It almost sounds like
they were put there.
789
00:35:48,638 --> 00:35:50,321
When we did previous excavation,
790
00:35:50,399 --> 00:35:52,131
I didn't notice
any gray material,
791
00:35:52,317 --> 00:35:55,210
Like in those big pits
that we excavated.
792
00:35:55,279 --> 00:35:56,728
We've dug all over it.
793
00:35:56,738 --> 00:35:58,380
At the triangle,
out in the east field.
794
00:35:58,532 --> 00:36:00,732
We've dug everywhere.
I've never seen that before.
795
00:36:00,993 --> 00:36:03,334
Well, I'm just thinking of
those flat pieces of metal
796
00:36:03,537 --> 00:36:05,978
-That we brought out of
the mesa last year, right?
-Right.
797
00:36:06,206 --> 00:36:09,590
Some of those materials
could be used for a spacecraft.
798
00:36:09,751 --> 00:36:13,620
Now, that is an interesting
tie-in because two of the things
799
00:36:13,714 --> 00:36:16,147
That are very important
and the materials that came out
800
00:36:16,258 --> 00:36:18,049
Of the mesa last year,
the metal,
801
00:36:18,135 --> 00:36:20,427
-Was aluminum and iron.
-Erik: Mm-hmm.
802
00:36:20,596 --> 00:36:23,138
Which we see in these lines.
803
00:36:23,340 --> 00:36:25,857
We see aluminum and iron.
804
00:36:25,934 --> 00:36:30,503
So, is this mud
somehow a remanent
805
00:36:30,647 --> 00:36:32,664
Of whatever
these metal flakes are?
806
00:36:32,858 --> 00:36:35,950
Did something happen and then,
some reason or another,
807
00:36:36,111 --> 00:36:39,195
They come and make lines
out of whatever this was?
808
00:36:39,281 --> 00:36:40,963
Or were the lines there
because of
809
00:36:40,965 --> 00:36:43,491
Whatever it is
that's in the mesa?
810
00:36:49,958 --> 00:36:52,467
We have scientifically verified
811
00:36:52,628 --> 00:36:54,860
That the strange lines
of crystal-like materials
812
00:36:55,047 --> 00:36:57,455
We uncovered
near the circular anomalies
813
00:36:57,633 --> 00:36:59,758
In the field
east of homestead two
814
00:37:00,010 --> 00:37:02,068
Are composed of
the same kinds of materials
815
00:37:02,179 --> 00:37:04,145
That we pulled out
of the mesa...
816
00:37:04,306 --> 00:37:06,281
I don't know if
I'm getting through this.
817
00:37:06,433 --> 00:37:07,799
Travis:
...After we ran into whatever
818
00:37:08,018 --> 00:37:10,268
This hard object was
that the drill
819
00:37:10,479 --> 00:37:12,136
Couldn't break through
deep inside.
820
00:37:12,356 --> 00:37:15,139
These teeth are all
perfectly intact.
821
00:37:15,359 --> 00:37:17,300
Travis:
It makes me think
they have to be
822
00:37:17,486 --> 00:37:19,986
Directly correlated
to one another.
823
00:37:21,114 --> 00:37:23,406
The drill tip mud.
There are these similarities.
824
00:37:23,492 --> 00:37:26,334
Um, I mean, look at
the highlighted rows.
825
00:37:26,495 --> 00:37:28,053
-Look at the-the color code
that erik used.
-Yeah.
826
00:37:28,205 --> 00:37:30,329
Travis:
The interesting thing
about it, too,
827
00:37:30,457 --> 00:37:34,158
Is these are actually
somewhat conductive materials.
828
00:37:34,378 --> 00:37:37,395
So what we're seeing here
is you've got the sodium,
829
00:37:37,506 --> 00:37:39,155
The magnesium, the aluminum,
830
00:37:39,341 --> 00:37:41,099
The potassium,
the calcium, the iron.
831
00:37:41,260 --> 00:37:44,569
All of those are very good
at conducting electricity.
832
00:37:44,721 --> 00:37:48,581
But I guess that begs
the question: What in the world
833
00:37:48,684 --> 00:37:51,417
Are those lines for?
834
00:37:51,561 --> 00:37:53,761
Travis:
From the multispectral data,
835
00:37:54,022 --> 00:37:56,689
You've got the five lines
diverging on one end,
836
00:37:56,817 --> 00:37:59,008
Converging to a point down by
the tree behind the homestead.
837
00:37:59,194 --> 00:38:00,852
Then out here,
there's that circle,
838
00:38:01,113 --> 00:38:04,989
And then the mesa is right there
where the gpr anomaly is, right?
839
00:38:05,075 --> 00:38:08,033
It almost looks, when you
look at it from the top,
840
00:38:08,036 --> 00:38:10,161
Like a circuit board.
841
00:38:10,163 --> 00:38:11,496
Like it's an electric circuit
842
00:38:11,748 --> 00:38:15,100
Built in the surface
of the ranch to do something.
843
00:38:15,210 --> 00:38:16,684
To what? I don't know.
844
00:38:16,878 --> 00:38:19,871
What the hell is a circuit doing
out in the middle a field?
845
00:38:20,048 --> 00:38:21,372
Thomas:
Yeah.
846
00:38:21,591 --> 00:38:24,175
Well, it makes you wonder:
To what end?
847
00:38:24,428 --> 00:38:27,136
If, say, it's like an
electrical circuit of some sort.
848
00:38:27,222 --> 00:38:29,305
Is this like electrical
field lines that's...
849
00:38:29,391 --> 00:38:31,215
That you can measure
with other equipment?
850
00:38:31,476 --> 00:38:33,701
And the multispectral thing
is just a side effect
851
00:38:33,895 --> 00:38:36,387
That it had on the vegetation
and we're able to see it now?
852
00:38:36,648 --> 00:38:39,315
Or was it intended that way
from the start?
853
00:38:39,401 --> 00:38:41,893
Walking out there,
I wouldn't have known
854
00:38:42,029 --> 00:38:42,894
There's anything there.
855
00:38:43,071 --> 00:38:44,195
I wouldn't have suspected it.
856
00:38:44,406 --> 00:38:45,721
-Perfectly hidden.
-Yeah.
857
00:38:45,907 --> 00:38:48,216
Only people with
the advanced technology
858
00:38:48,368 --> 00:38:51,069
That we've discovered
within the last handful of years
859
00:38:51,330 --> 00:38:54,397
Could see those lines
and even know they were there.
860
00:38:54,541 --> 00:38:56,041
Bryant:
Or they're ancient enough
861
00:38:56,293 --> 00:38:58,375
That maybe they were on top
of the ground at some point.
862
00:38:58,462 --> 00:38:59,936
But that still
begs the question:
863
00:39:00,088 --> 00:39:02,171
What were they leading to
and what were they pointing out?
864
00:39:02,299 --> 00:39:04,382
Erik:
So we've talked about
two interpretations,
865
00:39:04,634 --> 00:39:06,751
One of them being that it's,
that it's a marking,
866
00:39:06,803 --> 00:39:09,087
It's an indicator,
and the other one that I find
867
00:39:09,306 --> 00:39:11,180
Really interesting is that
it is somehow functional.
868
00:39:11,308 --> 00:39:14,409
Yeah, where would it be coming
from and what's it going to?
869
00:39:14,603 --> 00:39:16,944
-That's the question.
-And the discussion's
not complete
870
00:39:17,105 --> 00:39:19,780
Without reminding ourselves
here that we are
871
00:39:19,941 --> 00:39:24,110
Not far from the location
where we were told not to dig.
872
00:39:25,447 --> 00:39:28,306
There may be something
of exotic origin
873
00:39:28,308 --> 00:39:30,791
Buried underneath the field.
874
00:39:30,827 --> 00:39:32,535
We know that it has
875
00:39:32,621 --> 00:39:34,245
An interesting
elemental composition.
876
00:39:34,539 --> 00:39:38,065
Yes. Similar to only one other
place we found it on the ranch,
877
00:39:38,335 --> 00:39:41,444
-And that's inside the mesa
by a gpr anomaly.
-Yeah. Yeah.
878
00:39:41,671 --> 00:39:43,529
Travis:
I don't know what this thing is
and how it got there.
879
00:39:43,757 --> 00:39:45,590
You know, I think it's a mystery
we need to get to the bottom of.
880
00:39:45,884 --> 00:39:49,010
A-at this point, it makes sense
to just leave it as it is,
881
00:39:49,179 --> 00:39:50,703
Don't change anything.
882
00:39:50,847 --> 00:39:52,430
If we study it,
do it noninvasively.
883
00:39:52,641 --> 00:39:54,056
-We don't know what it is.
-Yeah.
884
00:39:54,142 --> 00:39:55,541
But, uh, we need to see
what's underneath
885
00:39:55,727 --> 00:39:57,560
-The entire ranch.
-Travis: I agree.
886
00:39:57,646 --> 00:39:59,604
Some more studies,
uh, merited here.
887
00:39:59,815 --> 00:40:00,972
Yeah, I agree.
Measurements, too.
888
00:40:01,149 --> 00:40:02,315
Yeah. Thanks, guys.
889
00:40:03,860 --> 00:40:05,743
Bryant:
I'm really surprised and curious
890
00:40:05,862 --> 00:40:08,146
As to what has created
these lines.
891
00:40:08,407 --> 00:40:10,648
Could it be an old structure
that's underground?
892
00:40:10,826 --> 00:40:12,316
Could it be an old pathway?
893
00:40:12,536 --> 00:40:15,303
I mean, we're right here
close to homestead two,
894
00:40:15,414 --> 00:40:16,837
As well as the drill site.
895
00:40:16,873 --> 00:40:18,422
Are they connected somehow?
896
00:40:18,500 --> 00:40:20,458
But I hope
it's something important,
897
00:40:20,669 --> 00:40:22,243
And I'm anxious to find out.
898
00:40:23,797 --> 00:40:27,165
Erik:
This is becoming an even more
puzzling area of the ranch.
899
00:40:27,342 --> 00:40:28,967
I did not expect these results.
900
00:40:29,177 --> 00:40:31,335
Looking at
the material composition,
901
00:40:31,596 --> 00:40:33,095
I'm beginning to think
that there's something
902
00:40:33,140 --> 00:40:34,722
Far more interesting here.
903
00:40:35,892 --> 00:40:37,842
I can't help but wonder
whether we are in fact
904
00:40:38,019 --> 00:40:40,178
Dealing with
something technological.
905
00:40:40,355 --> 00:40:42,505
We have to continue searching.
906
00:40:42,691 --> 00:40:46,543
Travis:
These lines
are absolutely bizarre,
907
00:40:46,695 --> 00:40:50,046
And we really need
to dig into what they are
908
00:40:50,198 --> 00:40:53,408
And-and if it can help us
with our investigation.
909
00:40:54,703 --> 00:40:57,453
Brandon:
We're dealing with forces
that are powerful
910
00:40:57,539 --> 00:41:01,048
And yet to be explained
or understood.
911
00:41:01,209 --> 00:41:04,802
It has been exciting to see
this team pull together
912
00:41:04,880 --> 00:41:07,129
And expand the scope
913
00:41:07,215 --> 00:41:12,010
Of the investigation
to include so many topics
914
00:41:12,220 --> 00:41:15,029
That really haven't
been addressed
915
00:41:15,098 --> 00:41:17,682
At skinwalker ranch.
916
00:41:20,937 --> 00:41:23,204
Jeremiah:
We'll be flying
a weather balloon
917
00:41:23,315 --> 00:41:24,755
With a low-frequency radar.
918
00:41:24,983 --> 00:41:27,633
We're seeing all these
strange things in the data.
919
00:41:27,777 --> 00:41:29,227
Travis:
There's a phenomena
920
00:41:29,446 --> 00:41:31,053
That the instruments
are passing through.
921
00:41:31,239 --> 00:41:32,797
I mean, what the hell
is up there?
922
00:41:32,949 --> 00:41:35,383
Thomas: So we have something
that's got a heat signature.
923
00:41:35,452 --> 00:41:38,285
What could be down there?
924
00:41:38,413 --> 00:41:41,114
There's a big plane
that just flew over us.
925
00:41:41,208 --> 00:41:44,458
Erik:
Travis, this aircraft
is not transponding.
926
00:41:44,503 --> 00:41:46,377
We're being surveilled.
927
00:41:49,858 --> 00:41:51,382
