04x13 - Everything In The Air All At Once

[bunniefuu]

BRANDON:
We have had another incident

that shows military surveillance

- over our property.
- Really?

ERIK: We know there's
something going on up there

over the triangle.

We're gonna launch
a lot of rockets.

Wait, Thomas, look.
Right-right there.

I want you to watch what
happens over the landscape itself.

- TRAVIS: Oh! Right there.
- CAMERON: Oh, my gosh!

Did it come out of the mesa?

Yeah.

♪

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.

BRYANT: The guests are here.

TRAVIS: Copy that.

- Hey, Senator.
- How are you?

- Welcome to Skinwalker Ranch.
- Thank you.

Thank you for coming
out for this briefing.

TRAVIS: It's well-known
that Skinwalker Ranch

has been on the federal
government's radar

- for at least 30 years now.
- Welcome, Senator.

- Hi. Mike Lee.
- TRAVIS: So after all

the stunning phenomena
we've experienced this year

during our investigation,
when Brandon Fugal alerted us

that he was bringing
Senator Mike Lee of Utah

out to meet with us,

we were really eager

to share information with him
and get his thoughts in return.

Well, gentlemen, it's
good to be with you again.

Senator Lee,

- thank you for joining us.
- Thank you.

It's very nice to
meet all of you.

Thanks for having me out here.

One of the things that
comes up in Washington

when members of the Senate

discuss things that
are observed, uh,

in the sky that
they can't explain is

we need to know what's there.

If there's something that's
moving that can be observed

and we don't know what it is

and if we know
that it's not ours,

that could be a
national security issue.

Absolutely.

Over the last four years,

we've seen numerous UAPs.

Some have been orbs of light,

while others looked
and maneuvered

like possible
nuts-and-bolts craft.

But one of the strangest
things was a blob-like anomaly

about 31 feet in the
air above the triangle

that destroyed a rocket.

And it may also be related to
GPS and time-shift anomalies

that we've detected up to
10,000 feet above the ranch.

MIKE: So, there anything
you want to tell me about

that you've observed?

We've measured an
electromagnetic anomaly

with various instruments
above this spot on the ranch

that we call "the triangle."

And, in fact, we've even had

something appear over the
spot at 31 feet above ground level.

Very often anomalous things
happening with our equipment,

our surveillance
assets and all our...

All the things we measure with.

Well, and that seem to correlate

- with unidentified aerial phenomena.
- Oh, yeah.

THOMAS: And we've caught
things on our camera before

that's been brought to
our attention by the locals.

And some of the neighbors here

have-have seen the same
things that we have seen.

MIKE: There any possibility

that some of the UAPs
that you've observed on-site

could be surveillance
operations?

Somebody curious?

Well...

Well, we know we're
being monitored.

- That's right.
- MIKE: If it's equipment owned

by foreign government,

that-that's of concern.

TRAVIS: Earlier this year...

when we first
encountered the anomaly

31 feet above the triangle...

Helicopter! Helicopter!

Helicopter coming right over!

A Blackhawk military helicopter

suddenly circled above the
ranch for several minutes.

And then, just a week ago,

two Chinook military helicopters

also appeared to be
surveilling the ranch.

BRYANT: Well, it's not like
they're trying to be sneaky

in any way, shape or form.

TRAVIS: Now, maybe they
were looking for evidence

that foreign
adversaries are linked

to at least some of the
phenomena that happens

on Skinwalker Ranch.

But given that many
of the UAPs we've seen

have traveled much faster

and maneuvered in
more advanced ways

than known U.S. technology

and even vanished in some cases,

as a scientist, I have a
hard time believing that.

So if this is our
foreign adversaries,

then they have leapfrogged
physics by 50 to 100 years

and haven't told
the rest of the world.

One thing we noticed
in the recent months

is GPS is completely
spoofed out here.

ERIK: That is the most
interesting aspect of it.

Disparities between
where we know things are

and where they think they are.

TRAVIS: What's
really interesting is,

a lot of times when we do
have these GPS anomalies,

we are detecting a strange
signal at 1.6 gigahertz

that has no known
source or purpose.

Right. Sometimes you hear
about GPS signals being jammed

near military installations.

BRANDON: So,
something or someone

has the technology,

the capability to
meddle with our systems.

MIKE: Have any working theories

- on what it could be?
- TRAVIS: We have

no data that tells us
who could have done this.

Hey, look! UAP right there!

MIKE: Things that
have been observed here

have been observed elsewhere

and might involve technology
that we're not familiar with.

If there are things
moving in U.S. airspace

that, uh, we can't,

uh, fully explain,

if there's technology
that isn't ours,

that, you know, could have
some potential military applications.

These are things we
need to know about.

Thanks for letting me visit.

I have appreciated
hearing your stories.

Please keep in
touch with me. And...

if you come across anything
that, uh, you'd like me to see

or share with my colleagues,
uh, please reach out.

BRYANT: That'd be great.

We appreciate your time.
We know it's precious.

- So we better get going.
- Great.

Thank you.

BRANDON: Well, gentlemen,

keep your eyes on the skies.

TRAVIS: We've got a lot to do.

(indistinct chatter)

- BRYANT: You ready for this?
- KALEB: I am ready.

Well, just follow us in, we're
just gonna go all the way down

- to the triangle, all right?
- Perfect. Will do.

TRAVIS: After our meeting
with Senator Lee and Brandon,

they needed to head
back to Salt Lake City.

But the rest of us welcomed
an army of familiar experts

back to the ranch
in order to help us

with our most ambitious
experiment ever at the triangle.

The weather is about
to turn really harsh

in the Uinta Basin,

so this is our last
opportunity of the year

to finally figure
out just who or what

can explain the UAPs, the blob

and all the other
strange phenomena

we've detected at this spot.

Hey, Dragon.

So, Thomas and, uh, Erik and I
have been, uh, mapping out this

out here based on
the lidar picture...

- Oh, yeah.
- From OmniTeq.

- So, this is the shadow part?
- So, this is the shadow part...

- Or the outside?
- This is the shadow part.

TRAVIS: Two weeks ago...

representatives from a
company called OmniTeq

conducted a lidar
scan above the triangle

while we fired rockets up
through the anomalous zone.

- BRYANT: We got a good chute.
- Oh, good chute.

- ERIK: Look at that.
- That's interesting.

TRAVIS: We were
stunned when that detected

a perfectly circular
phenomenon with a black void

right in the center
of the triangle.

For years, we've heard legends
that interdimensional portals...

Or traversable wormholes...

Actually exist on
Skinwalker Ranch.

It's a claim that's
been made not only by

the Indigenous tribal elders,

but also, former
ranch investigators

who worked with the
federal government.

I'm excited to see
how it correlates

- with what we do tonight.
- Oh, me, too.

So l-let's get them all out
and let's see what they got

and let's figure out where
we're going to put them.

So, tonight we're gonna try

to stimulate phenomena
above the triangle

all through the anomalous zone

by having the team
from LOC Precision

launch multiple
rounds of rockets

with ever-increasing
power levels...

Hey, fellas. How
are y'all doing?

While deploying a number

of other cutting-edge
technologies

that we've used in the past.

The hope is that
combining them all

into one big experiment
will help us determine

once and for all if this
incredible legend is true.

Well, I want to welcome
everybody back out.

We're at a familiar site.

As all of you gentlemen know,
this has become an epicenter

of study, as well as of
anomalous readings and results.

Historically, I don't think
anyone's been out here

to the triangle where
they haven't seen

some kind of
really pathological,

really strange things
happening with their equipment.

So, I'm so grateful to have
all of you guys out here

at the same time, bringing
your tech and your personnel.

We've got a lot of work to do,

we got a lot of
things to set up.

So, you guys start
getting your stuff out

and let's figure out
where you got to be

and let's get to moving.

For tonight's experiment,

the teams will be situated
all around the triangle.

The guys from Nu-Salt Laser
will have three Space Cannons

positioned at each
corner of the triangle

projecting high-powered beams

that will encompass
the anomalous zone.

And they will reach all
the way into outer space,

so if anything strange
moves through there,

disrupting or
bending the lasers,

we should be able to see it.

And as a secondary way
to detect anything strange,

they will be scanning
with two rastering lasers

all through that zone as well.

So, if we stimulate
phenomena here,

hopefully, these two
laser technologies

may be able to
detect and confirm

the actual shape and exact
location of any anomalies.

But that's just the beginning
of what we're doing tonight.

We're also going to scan

the nearby mesa
with a projection laser.

- KALEB: You're good.
- TRAVIS: It will be broadcasting

audio that we recorded

during a recent
sound ritual experiment

with an Indigenous
organization named Blazing Bear.

And now look at this.

TRAVIS: There... Whoa, whoa.

- Whoa, whoa.
- BRYANT: There it is.

Go back. Go back.

TRAVIS: A sound experiment

that captured thermal
images of two UAPs

flying into the
surface of the mesa.

What is that?

Finally, the team from
Sky Elements has returned

to fly 250 illuminated drones
equipped with GPS sensors

in preprogrammed formations

about 300 feet
above the triangle.

- Whoa, whoa, whoa!
- CAMERON: Whoa, whoa!

Yeah, we got a
downdraft right there.

TRAVIS: It was
at that exact height

where, earlier this year,

Brandon's helicopter
got pushed around...

Holy cow.

Just as we detected
something strange

with the lidar scanner.

We've got a clear
anomaly right beside us.

Dude, that is awesome.

So, tonight, if anything alters
the drone swarm's formation

or flight patterns, hopefully,

it will further help us
pinpoint and identify

what the phenomena
we've detected there

- actually could be.
- All right.

The temperature is about to
start dropping, so I'm gonna put

- on some bigger clothes.
- And there's not a lot of daylight here,

so, uh, I say we get on it.

TRAVIS: And all
through the night,

Erik will be monitoring
for strange energy spikes

and the 1.6 gigahertz signal

with his spectrum analyzer
and radiation detectors,

while recording the
entire experiment

with a FLIR thermal
imaging camera.

We've never had
this much technology

operating at once on the ranch.

So, hopefully tonight,

we'll cut through the
legends about this place,

and finally reveal the truth

of what's really
happening out here.

All right, well, I got to
get to setting stuff up,

and you guys, if you
need anything, yell at me.

All right, let's go wait
for the sun to go down.

Guys, we are rolling.

ERIK: Travis, I'm
set up over here.

So, how are you
doing over there?

TRAVIS: Uh,
everything's set up here.

Tim, I say we go ahead
and bring the lasers up.

- TIM: Lasers up.
- Lasers are up.

TRAVIS: We're conducting the
most extensive experiment ever

on Skinwalker Ranch.

To try to pinpoint and identify
the anomaly at the triangle,

LOC Precision is going to launch

the first six rockets
simultaneously

while Sky Elements will
fly a swarm of 250 drones.

In the past, just
a single rocket

has gotten strange things
to happen at the triangle.

So, let's see what six might do.

Everyone, be advised.
Uh, clear the launchpad.

We are about to launch.

Clear the area!

PRESTON: Drones are armed.

Oh, hold up.

System just crashed.

TYLER: Malfunction,
guys. Malfunction.

Hey, uh, Tyler,

what's our ETA on
the first drone swarm?

Hey, Travis, we had
a really strange thing

going on over here.

We're having an
interference issue right now.

We're not really
sure what's doing it.

We're having trouble getting
all the drones to connect.

Copy that. I understand.

That is really odd.

We're gonna go ahead and, uh,

do our first six
rocket launches.

Let us know when you're ready.

Will do. Let's get
this up and down.

All right, we are going
hot with the rockets.

ALLEN: We got all six hot.

TRAVIS: Here we go, in five,

four, three,

two, one.

How... Where are the
others? (stammers)

What's going on?

THOMAS: Well, that was weird.

Weren't they supposed
to go off simultaneously?

- So, what happened with that?
- That's a good question.

- You tell me.
- And the rockets didn't go

at the same time, but they're
all hooked to the same wire.

Same wire.

That doesn't make any sense.

Did you notice, none of
the rockets went straight up.

Wh... Yeah, I did notice that.

Every... All five of them...

- They all got pulled out.
- Went-went different ways.

ERIK: So, have the
winds aloft changed?

TRAVIS: Uh, there,

there's... I-I don't
think there's any wind.

ALLEN: You still
got one on the pad.

All right, everybody
stay clear of the pad.

There's still one hot
rocket on the pad.

Everyone clear.

- ALLEN: I'm gonna go check it.
- TRAVIS: Yep.

- DAVE: You got it off?
- TRAVIS: Yep.

TRAVIS: We weren't sure

what was going on, but just
before we launched the drones,

they all inexplicably
malfunctioned,

and then,
immediately after that,

the rockets
malfunctioned as well.

Our rockets were on one circuit,

meaning they should
have launched together,

but instead, only five took off

and they all launched
at random intervals

in really odd directions.

Hey, Tyler, uh,
h-how's your progress?

TYLER (over walkie): Yeah
we're having some network issues.

Drones just seem to be
falling off and not connecting,

and the methods we usually
use to resolve those issues

don't seem to be working.

KALEB: This is the
exact same thing

- they had happen last time.
- TRAVIS: Yeah.

- Isn't that something?
- They tested all these drones

before they brought
them out here and said that

- they were, like, their best ones and that...
- Yeah.

They brought out
all their best stuff.

ERIK: I think it's too
early for us to declare

that there is an
assignable cause here

for the drone malfunctions
and this rocket failure.

However, when we
have events like this,

the attention of our entire team

is more intently focused
on what is going on,

why are we experiencing these
equipment and other failures?

- TRAVIS: What happened?
- Six is great, the continuity is fine.

There's no reason it shouldn't
fly. Everything says go.

Well, see if it'll launch now.

Yeah.

Everyone be advised,
we're gonna try to launch

rocket number six that failed.

Here we go. Be ready.

Clear the launchpad.

- You ready?
- Yeah.

TRAVIS: In five,

four, three,

two, one.

THOMAS: That
was, like, going south.

That's crazy.

I d... I don't understand that.

THOMAS: There's
no wind out here.

Why is it just
going off that way?

I know. Every one of them did.

It looks like there's something
pushing it out of the way,

right at the 31-foot level.

It was not only
weird that the rockets

were veering off course,

but it looked like they
were all redirected

at about 31 feet high
where we first saw the blob.

It just told me we needed
to launch our next round

of more powerful rockets
to see if they would make it

through that zone
or be deflected, too.

Let's see where these guys are,

and, uh, maybe, uh, they're
ready to go, and-and...

Why don't you guys go
load the next six rockets?

- Yeah.
- So we'll be... just be ready.

Hey, Tyler, how
close are you guys?

TYLER: How we looking
network-wise? Are we ready?

-No. -The drones are not staying

locked on, so we are having
to recycle the whole network.

ERIK: Oh, God.

TRAVIS: All right.
Un-Understand.

You guys just keep working.

Let us know when you're ready.

TYLER: Will do.

So, we're gonna
have to take it down.

Hey, guys, unplug all
drones, unplug all drones.

Every... all hands on deck.

PRESTON: The issues
that we had after setting up

the first 250 were
network connectivity issues.

So instead of 250 drones
connected at a time,

it would be 230
drones or 206 drones.

It just was a struggle to get
them all connected at once.

All right, Preston,
reboot the network.

PRESTON We've
done hundreds of shows

across different venues
and different countries,

and it's definitely something
that's just happening here

at Skinwalker Ranch.

TRAVIS: All right. So,
uh, let's just get ready

- to do the rocket launch.
- Okay.

- Want them here?
- Yeah, just, uh, ground it here.

Just keep the
metal off the metal.

Yeah, put it on the bottom side.

BRYANT: Given
the high-tech nature

of all of this equipment,
I'm really anxious

to see what it shows.

But as crazy as it sounds,
the ranch just keeps

throwing roadblocks
in front of us.

We've had so many
experiments thwarted

by little things that we had
no idea were even possible.

And so, I just hope it
lets us get some answers.

Great, golden.

ERIK: Okay, I've
got eyes on the FLIR.

All right, everybody be advised,

we are about to launch
the next set of rockets.

Here we go in five,

four, three,

two, one.

Only two or three of them went.

Three rockets went. What
happened to the other two?

They're still sitting there.

Oh.

Watch out.

Wow, watch... There we go!

BRYANT: And that one

- should have gone straight.
- Yeah, that should have

been straight as an arrow.

But at 30 feet up,

that thing took a major detour.

TRAVIS: Anything in the FLIR?

ERIK: Oh, wow.

Uh, yeah.

- TRAVIS: You did see something in the FLIR?
- Yeah, moving up here

from the center up towards

the upper left-hand
corner of the screen.

Oh, what is that?

ERIK: A thermal signature
shows up in the sky

and is visible in the
real-time data streaming in

from the thermographic
FLIR camera.

So, there's the rocket
coming down with the chute.

TRAVIS: It's gone.

What... It's weird, it
shouldn't have been

apart from the rocket,
they'd have been flying off

- on a ballistic trajectory.
- Right.

Uh, we need to go back
and look at the footage

because I think when
we get more eyes on this,

they're gonna be impressed.

This is an experiment that
can really only be interpreted

after having pored over

all the data that
we are recording.

There are some things that
we're going to witness in real time,

but there are other things that
we will only detect on review.

That's often where
my work begins.

TYLER: Travis, we have
all drones showing on-line.

Copy that.

Guys, we are rolling.

TRAVIS: All right, drones are
going, the drones are going.

Oh, fantastic.

TRAVIS: Here we go.

The drones have clicked
on, they're about to go up.

Drones armed,
stay clear of the grid.

Ten, nine,

eight, seven,

six, five,

four, three,

two, one.

TRAVIS: Wow, look at that.

They're going up
in, uh, two layers.

ERIK: That's just spectacular.

We got one that's
hung out over here.

ERIK: Look at that.

I don't know.

He's locking in.

BRYANT: Look at that one.

KALEB: Oh, right there.

Oh, one of them's going nuts.

It almost ran
into the other one.

The drone swarm launched
up through the anomalous zone

in two groupings

almost perfectly to
the 300-foot level,

except for one that just
started flying erratically.

One that's really
moving, Preston.

TRAVIS: So, did it
run into the same thing

we encountered with Brandon's
helicopter earlier this year?

We may have just confirmed
the location of another anomaly

above the triangle.

TYLER: He's going, he's
going, he's going, he's going.

- Erik, are you seeing this?
- I... yeah, I'm seeing it.

TRAVIS: Look at it
moving. That's crazy.

TRAVIS: Erik, are
you seeing this?

ERIK: Yeah, I'm seeing it.

TRAVIS: One's fallen out.

The drone swarm may
have just helped to pinpoint

another anomaly about
300 feet above the triangle.

Almost all 250 drones
ascended perfectly

in two stages above 31 feet,

but then, one suddenly
flew away from the group

like something was
pushing it around.

TYLER: Drones should be
moving into a new position

right now, into four stacks.

Four stacks. Okay, that's
what's happening in there.

ERIK: Okay, so, they're
just coming into position.

TRAVIS: That's a
lot of drones, man.

BRYANT: That is a lot of drones.

TRAVIS: As the drone swarm
continued their preprogrammed flight,

they shifted into the
shape of a massive cube

to cover more volume
within the anomalous zone.

TYLER: Preston, I've
got one coming down.

All the way down.

ERIK: Travis, how
many have fallen

- out of position?
- TRAVIS: Well, one so far,

and one is on its
way down, so we got...

- That'll be two total.
- ERIK: Okay.

TRAVIS: Look at that.

Now a third one's fallen out.

A fourth one.

PRESTON: Hey, guys, stay out

of the grid and out
from under the show,

uh, just in case there's
a collision or two.

- DAVE: Whoa. There's another one.
- TRAVIS: This-this line

- right here is crooked.
- DAVE: Right over here.

Hey, they're... they
keep falling out.

- That was in the same spot.
- TRAVIS: Yeah.

- Right ov...
- So that means they're...

TRAVIS: Look at that one.

DAVE: What's
with the blue fellers?

Oh, okay.

TRAVIS: Oh, they
hit! Those two hit.

ERIK: Yeah, that
was a collision.

TRAVIS: Yeah, well that
one's falling out of the sky.

- That one is.
- BRYANT: Looks like they're done.

They said it was five
and a half minutes.

- TRAVIS: Copy that. It was amazing.
- BRYANT: Absolutely.

TRAVIS: Once the drones started
changing colors and colliding,

it was clear that
they needed to land

so they could be
assessed for damage.

The hope was we could
send them up again.

But what caused these devices...

That we're told never
malfunction like this...

To go so haywire?

It made me want to
immediately launch our next round

of even more powerful rockets

to see if we could get
something to appear

and give us an answer.

All right, rocket guys,

go reload the launch rails.

TYLER: We're clear.

TRAVIS: Great
job, guys. Great job.

Can't wait to, uh,
see the next set.

Sounds good. We'll get it turned
around and ready to roll again.

Hey, Erik, you copy?

Yeah, go ahead, Travis.

Hey, man, uh,

we're gonna do another, uh,

series of rocket
launches if, uh...

while you guys
are getting ready.

Yeah, we're, uh,
we're fine with that.

Uh, what's your ETA for

when you'll be ready for
the next set of drones?

We'll call it 15 minutes
if everything goes well.

15 minutes if
everything goes to plan.

Understood, thank you.

So, be advised, we
are gonna go ahead

with the next set of rockets.

Hey, team, they're about to roll
the next set of rockets as well.

TRAVIS: It was also time

to start beaming
the projection lasers

with the audio file at the mesa.

Erik, you want to play the,
uh, audio file through the laser?

Yeah, I've got it
queued up. One moment.

TRAVIS: Three weeks ago,

we were stunned
when Blazing Bear

performed a drumming
ritual that was designed

to stimulate portal phenomena

and actually led to
a thermal anomaly

appearing on top of the mesa,

followed by two UAPs that
flew into the mesa's surface.

So, in addition to the
tools we're already using,

Nu-Salt is going to
operate a projection scanner

that will broadcast a recording
of the Blazing Bear song ritual

through a modulated laser beam

up, down and across the
mesa near the triangle to see

if we can provoke any more
unusual anomalies to appear.

So, we're gonna again
do the green raster

on the mesa, but,
uh, at the same time,

we're gonna modulate
it with the sound

from the Native American
drum circle ceremony.

Then you guys hit
the go on the rockets.

ALLEN: Yep, we got all six hot.

All right, so let's go ahead
and bring the lasers up.

Okay.

TIM: We got the rasters up.

So, Erik, are you
ready to play that?

ERIK: All right, you got it.

I'm rolling.

All right, here we go,
let's see if we hear it.

(ritual song playing)

(buzzing)

(humming)

TRAVIS: What is that sound?

Where is that coming from?

That's-that's not
coming from here.

- That's not it.
- That... Are you playing it again? Is it stopped?

- I am playing.
- I'll go out there and listen.

Okay.

-(ritual song
playing) -(humming)

Nah, that ain't it.

TRAVIS: Just as
the laser started

broadcasting the song ritual,

we could suddenly
hear a different,

mysterious signal
interfering with it.

But where was it coming from?

-(ritual song
playing) -(humming)

- It's in there, I hear it, but...
- THOMAS: I can hear the drums.

It's-it's in there, but it's been
overwhelmed by something.

KALEB: I can hear it.

- You hear it?
- I can hear it.

It's playing, but it's
being overwhelmed

with some other, some
other frequency, I don't know

- where it's coming from.
- ERIK: Yeah, there's some other modulation

- going on there.
- Yeah, there's something, something else in it.

TRAVIS: All right, let's
clear out, let's get ready.

TIM: Okay.

TRAVIS: Everybody,
clear the launchpad,

clear the launchpad!

- All right, watch the FLIR, Kaleb.
- KALEB: Yep.

Okay, here we go.

All right, everybody,
be advised,

we are about to
do a rocket launch.

DAVE: We are
clear. Clear, clear.

TRAVIS: You ready?

All, right, this is gonna
be a staggered launch

in five, four,

three, two,

one.

- Get it.
- Wow.

Those crisscrossed
right through the middle.

That one went way north.

KALEB: Hey, do we
have an airplane up north?

I'm looking, I don't see it.

'Cause I got something
in the FLIR right here.

- What? Something in the FLIR?
- Right here.

Yeah, there is
something in the FLIR.

KALEB: The moment we
launched it, popped up right in here.

TRAVIS: We have
an object in the FLIR.

I-It's, uh, a hot
object in the sky,

probably 100 feet over the mesa.

Yeah, there is
something in the FLIR.

We have an object in the FLIR.

I-It's, uh, a hot
object in the sky,

probably 100 feet over the mesa.

It's hovering and moving
slowly to the north,

maybe northwest.

Now, that is so
cool, right there.

This was amazing.

Just after another set of
rockets that we launched

mysteriously veered off
course above the triangle...

That's crazy.

A strange heat anomaly

showed up in our
FLIR thermal camera

that we had pointed at the mesa.

Where'd he go? Where did it go?

And right above where
we were broadcasting

a sacred Indigenous
drumming song

that many believe can
stimulate portal phenomena.

Travis, do you still
have eyes on that object?

No, uh, it moved outside

of the field of view of
the FLIR camera, Erik,

and it literally appeared
in the middle of the screen

over the launchpad

when we launched
the first two rockets

and then it moved, uh,
off of the, uh, field of view.

Copy that. Well, I know
you got a time stamp,

so we'll definitely
look at that on review.

- Copy that.
- KALEB: The moment we launched,

both those rockets
came straight up

and it appeared right here
in the middle of the screen

- and got brighter.
- TRAVIS: It literally appeared

- in the middle of the screen.
- Yep.

KALEB: And this
is in the same area

that we saw the UAP during
the previous experiment.

- Yeah, it's what it looks like.
- Yep.

Things are really getting crazy
out here on Skinwalker Ranch.

It came right out of the mesa.

BRANDON: Oh, my gosh.

- Well, what the hell was it?
- TRAVIS: Just last week,

during an aerial
experiment over the triangle,

a camera mounted
on Brandon's helicopter

captured a UAP
disappearing into the mesa

near the east field
and then exiting it

a few seconds later
right at the triangle.

Does it look like it
comes from right there?

TRAVIS: It came out
of the mesa right there.

- BRYANT: And travels across.
- BRANDON: Wow.

This is stunning.

TRAVIS: Is it possible

that what we just saw
appear above the mesa

is connected to that event?

And if so, what was it?

We don't know yet, but we
might be close to an answer.

Well, we had an object
that... going across there.

- That was not an airplane. Not in the FLIR.
- KALEB: No.

This guy is coming
in hot right here.

Oh, that's a rocket coming down.

That is so cool, right there.

Look how the wind grabbed it.

Look how the wind
grabbed it right here.

Here comes the second one.

That one's gonna
land in the triangle.

KALEB: So, get
some more rockets up,

see if it comes back.

Yep. All right, so, uh,
did all our rockets go?

- I didn't count them.
- ALLEN: No, we had one

- that didn't fly, but it-it...
- So, we got one hot on the pad?

- Yeah.
- Why don't you guys go load the next rockets?

Yeah.

All right. Let's do it.

Hey, Tyler, uh,
how's the drones?

TYLER: Hey, Travis.

We are rebooting
our systems now.

They're coming back on-line.

I should have a status
update for you here

in the next five minutes.

Copy.

DAVE: All right.

TRAVIS: If this thing was
stimulated by the rockets

- and the song ritual...
- That looks good.

Then all I could think was,
"Let's keep poking the nest

"with everything we've
got, and see if we can solve

the mystery of
this place tonight."

So, uh, let's-let's go ahead
and bring the lasers up,

and then we'll, uh,
get the sound going.

- Okay.
- Hey, Tyler?

Are you guys ready to go?

TYLER: Everything's looking
good on our end, Travis.

We're just slowly
working them down here.

TRAVIS: Copy that. I understand.

PRESTON: So,
during the first show,

we had four drones return to
home because of the batteries.

They hit that
low-battery threshold,

which is something that's
never happened anywhere else.

- Looks good.
- So, I hope

that during the second flight,
we see if there's any anomalies

that are repeatedly
occurring here at the ranch.

All drones clicked on,
all drones clicked on.

TRAVIS: Copy that.

The drones are ready.
The drones are clicked on.

- They're about to go up.
- ERIK: Oh, fantastic.

- So, leave the lasers up.
- Okay.

As soon as drones
clear out of the airspace,

we'll launch the rockets.

The rocket's ready to go, right?

- Yeah, we're-we're armed and ready.
- All right.

- I'm rolling.
- TRAVIS: We are playing the drums

through the laser.

Uh, everything's ready.

Drones are armed.

TRAVIS: All right, here we go.

TYLER: Liftoff.

TRAVIS: There they
go. There they go.

All right, drones are
going, the drones are going.

Wow, look at that.

I'm gonna lay down on the
ground and watch them this time.

I got dizzy last time

looking straight up, and then
I was kind of getting vertigo.

It made me, like, dizzy.

DAVE: Look at that.
They're all lined up now.

TRAVIS: Oh, they are perfectly

organized right now.

We got holes, though.

One, two, three,
four, five holes.

- DAVE: Whoa.
- TYLER: What the hell happened?

TYLER: Should have been
two that didn't go, only two.

There's way more than that.

Oh, we're gonna
have a lot of fail-safes.

TRAVIS: Look at the
lines, look at the lines.

Right there, how-how
they're breaking up.

- THOMAS: Oh. There they go.
- Yeah.

Battery levels are not
looking great, team.

Keep your heads on a swivel.

TRAVIS: I think they
are coming down.

Yeah.

TRAVIS: Holy cow! Look at that.

TRAVIS: Holy cow! Look at that.

- Whoa.
- TYLER: Battery levels are not looking great, team.

Keep your heads on a swivel.

We got one that's kind of,
look like it's gonna fail on us.

Two, we got two.

TYLER: Got another one.

Hey, team, we may have
a lot of these coming down.

Everybody, keep your heads up.

TRAVIS: Keep your heads up.

Drones are coming down.

DAVE: Oh, losing another.

Third down... four down.

- TRAVIS: Uh, yeah, maybe. Maybe.
- Five? Six.

THOMAS: Oh, they're coming down.

TRAVIS: I think they
are coming down.

I think it's six of them.

DAVE: I think we got seven now.

Seven. Yeah, seven.

KALEB: Hey, there's some more

coming down after that one.

TYLER: Splitting into
that cube again here, guys.

TYLER: Gonna have a lot
of these returning to home.

Preston, can you give me a count

- on fail-safes there?
- PRESTON: Yep.

PRESTON: So during
the second flight,

we immediately had ten batteries

that entered the fail-safe
condition and returned to home.

THOMAS: Boy, there's a
lot of them coming down.

TRAVIS: A lot of
them coming down.

PRESTON: Having
batteries return to home

almost immediately upon takeoff,

that is just something t-totally
crazy, totally unexpected.

And it just seemed to be
isolated here to the ranch.

- It's just raining drones.
- Right?

TRAVIS: Hey, Tyler, why
are the ones coming down?

Are the batteries failing?

The batteries are failing, yes.

TRAVIS: Once again,
something in the skies

above the triangle area is
causing the drone batteries

to drain extremely fast.

Some of them even
lost all battery life

at the moment of liftoff.

TYLER: There goes another one.

The battery levels
should have been fine.

PRESTON: Yeah, the
lowest was like, 85 to 88%.

So far, ten drones
are returning to home.

Everything else looks good.

So, ten of them had
batteries fail already.

Okay.

TYLER: Pattern
looks really stable.

TRAVIS: Copy that.

This is pretty epic, looking
at it from this perspective.

- A-And the, and the colors.
- ERIK: Yeah.

TRAVIS: Wow, look at that.

Everything looks
perfect right now.

THOMAS: Yeah, I
mean, they look like

they're holding
tight pretty good.

All right, the
rotation's starting now.

THOMAS: Oh, that is cool.

TRAVIS: Yeah, that is cool.

Anything on the FLIR over
there? Has anybody looked?

No objects in
the FLIR this time.

Yeah, no. I don't see any...

I don't see anything
coming through the space.

TRAVIS: Thankfully,
most of the drones

stayed in the air
above the triangle

and began performing their
preprogrammed light show.

So, we forged ahead
with the experiment

to see what might appear
in the FLIR camera...

Or right before our eyes... to
hopefully give us some answers.

TYLER: Drones should be clear
enough to send those rockets

- if you want to.
- Launch the rockets, Allen!

Yeah, I think the
drones are coming down.

All right, I'm getting up.

DAVE: The sky is clear,
range is clear, Allen.

All right.

- We ready, ready?
- DAVE: Ready, ready.

All right, pads are armed.

TRAVIS: Pads are armed.

KALEB: Hey, hey, we
got something on the FLIR.

- We got something on the FLIR.
- What do you got?

KALEB: It looked
like a thin line

appear in this area right here.

ERIK: Yeah? Oh, yeah, yeah.

Time stamp.

TRAVIS: Five, four,

three, two,

one, liftoff.

- Holy...
- 133.133.

When one of the
rockets went right there,

it went from a line
into many bright lights.

ERIK: Wow.

I think there may be
three or four of them.

Yeah, they were spread out,
and then they come together.

ERIK: Oh, wow.

KALEB: I'm blown away by what
we're catching with these cameras.

Multiple objects were flying

in very close
formation together,

and moving in ways
that didn't seem natural.

This is probably one
of the most exciting,

biggest things I've seen
on Skinwalker Ranch.

- ERIK: Hey, Travis?
- TRAVIS: Yeah?

ERIK: I want to get
your eyes on this.

TRAVIS: What-What's going on?

So, we had a...

it looked like a thin line

appear in this area right here,

and it was coming
across the screen.

And the moment they
launched the rockets,

you could see all
of them come up

and that turned into,
like, a group of three lights,

three or four of them
from a single line.

ERIK: You know, I could be
convinced that we're looking at

something formation-flying.

Really?

ERIK: I mean, it was
actually quite interesting.

You know, I could be convinced

that we're looking at
something formation-flying.

- Seriously?
- Yeah, you know... so what...

what Kaleb pointed out to me

originally looked like a line...

- Mm-hmm. Yeah.
- But then after the launch,

there were distinct
points I could be convinced

it's either three or
four separate things,

then coalesced back into a
single thing and continued.

And so, I definitely
want to review that.

KALEB: When it came
over to the side over here,

it... all four of those
lines elongated out

into a single line.

TRAVIS: The UAP that
split into multiple UAPs

and then maneuvered
in a patterned formation,

was incredible, and may be
one of the biggest developments

we've documented out here.

It really made us all anxious

to keep going
with the experiment

and see what might happen
or show up in the sky next.

Whoa, whoa, whoa,
look what we got here.

What do we got here?

- ERIK: Uh-huh.
- We got something.

ERIK: You know, that's
moving at a rate that is...

That's real. I'm
looking for that.

- I'm going out looking for that.
- Yeah, that...

- That doesn't look like an aircraft.
- We got something

moving through
the FLIR right now...

- Yep.
- And it ain't an aircraft.

TRAVIS: It's a
fairly clear night.

If there's something there,
you'd think we'd see it.

- TRAVIS: Was that warmer or colder?
- What's that?

- What you saw on the FLIR.
- Oh, well, it was wh...

Erik, is white hot or red hot?

- White: hot.
- So, then,

- it was hotter than everything else.
- Okay.

Hey, I don't see it now.

- I don't see anything.
- I don't see it.

And so, it must not be
visible to the naked eye.

For a UAP to emit a lot of heat,

it really made me wonder
why we couldn't see it

with the naked eye.

Was it, and the ones
Erik and Kaleb just saw,

being masked or
cloaked by something?

Or could they have
possibly vanished

into the anomalous
zone above the triangle?

- You guys are about ready here?
- DAVE: Yep.

Quick two-minute operation here.

You got it. All right.

To find out,

the LOC Precision team prepped

the most powerful rocket
we've ever had on the ranch.

The big one's
hot if you want it.

All right, we're gonna
launch the big rocket.

DAVE: There's some data
that points to an anomaly

right there from
the 30-foot mark,

all the way up to about 10,000
feet as far as we can figure.

So the big rocket was, uh,
something we concocted

to push a few
boundaries out here.

We're expecting to
hit about 10,000 feet

and Mach 1.5.

All right, everybody, be advised

that we're about to
launch the big rocket

in just a couple of seconds.

DAVE: So, we're really
hopeful that this rocket

will just get the job done

in hopefully finding, um,

whatever's up
above the triangle.

Well, are we ready to go?

- Ready when y'all are.
- All right, we got all the lasers

working again, we're good to go.

All right, the
launchpad's clear?

DAVE: Sky's
clear, range is clear.

You ready, Dragon?
We're gonna do it?

- BOTH: Yep.
- Here we go,

in five,

four, three, two,

one.

ALLEN: Get it.

Oh, my goodness!

- Holy cow!
- KALEB: Whoa.

TRAVIS: Wow, it went

one and a half times
the speed of sound.

That thing was moving fast.

THOMAS: Oh, sh**t.

I don't know where...
I'm not seeing anything.

- Is anybody seeing the rocket?
- I'm looking.

TRAVIS: Where, you...
Uh, anybody got the rocket?

TYLER: Does
anyone see the rocket?

ALLEN: Hey, where's
that night vision?

Yeah, night
vision, night vision!

Thomas, you should be able
to see it in the night vision.

BRYANT: Are you seeing anything?

ALLEN: Watch the FLIR.

ERIK: Yeah, I'm not
seeing anything on the FLIR.

KALEB: Yeah, FLIR is clear.

TRAVIS: Did anybody
ever see the chute pop?

DAVE: I didn't see a single...

- ounce of it, no.
- I didn't hear any pop.

I didn't hear a pop,
I didn't see anything.

THOMAS: I'm not seeing
it in the night vision, either.

BRYANT:
Neither am I.

THOMAS:
It's gone.
