06x01 - Bubble Trouble

[bunniefuu]

ALLAN: Okay,
I’m going at it again.

That’s a pretty hard layer
I’m in right here.

KYLE:
Now what do we do?

ALLAN:
It doesn’t make any sense.

I guess they found
weird [bleep] in the spoils.

-TRAVIS: Hey, Chris.
-CHRIS: Hey, guys.

-Thanks for coming over.
-TRAVIS: Yeah, man.

CHRIS: Something I wanted to
show you that I really can’t believe

that we found inside the mesa.

-What the hell is this?
-What is that?

CHRIS: It’s ceramics.

What?

This is probably about


and about 100 feet deep.

THOMAS: We’ve been hitting
something that they’re saying,

you know, it feels
harder than even granite.

ERIK: Travis, look-look
at the patterning.

TRAVIS: I see what
you’re talking about.

There’s, like, a
crosshatch pattern in it.

ERIK: That’s amazing.

This is even stranger
than the metal fragments

we’ve been pulling
out of the mesa.

TRAVIS: This is artificial.

-CHRIS: Yes.
-KALEB: What?

CHRIS: It is manufactured.

TRAVIS: Holy crap. There’s

a manufactured
material inside the mesa.

Yes.

TRAVIS: For the last five years,

our team has been
working to figure out

what in the world is buried
deep inside the rocky mesa

on Skinwalker Ranch.

It all started with
legends that we heard

about a possible
secret military base or--

believe it or not-- even an
extraterrestrial spacecraft.

Things that just sounded insane.

But using
ground-penetrating radar,

we’ve detected what
we believe could be

a 400-foot-long object
buried inside there,

and it’s surrounded by
several smaller anomalies.

We’ve also found metal
fragment in drilling spoils

that are similar to what
NASA and SpaceX use

to protect the surface
of their spacecraft.

And tonight,

our drilling operation recovere
something even stranger.

ERIK: I want to take a
radiation measurement.

All right. Okay,

so, I’m seeing 37 to 68.

All right, let’s try
it on the sample.

Instantly.

-105. Oh!
-105. That’s...

TRAVIS: It is radioactive, yes.

What in the hell is this stuff?

Unbelievable.

TRAVIS: I got chills, dude.

We got to get this thing
to a lab and get it tested.

ERIK: So, I’ve got
several samples mounted.

So I’m gonna bring these over.

-Okay.
-TRAVIS: A couple of days later

ranch owner Brandon Fugal
arranged for us to meet

with physicist
Dr. Brian Patchett

at Utah Valley University

to examine the ceramics
we found in the mesa

with a scanning
electron microscope.

Now, that’s a device that
bombards objects with electrons

in order to magnify them
up to a million times

their actual size.

Shouldn’t take too long.

It’s been running
fairly quickly today.

TRAVIS: We’re hoping

that this will give us an
idea of what this material is

and what it might
have been used for.

BRIAN: There we go.

Look at that
surface right there.

You can see the
crosshatch pattern in it.

That doesn’t look
like Mother Nature.

BRIAN: No, it doesn’t.

I’m gonna
reposition this a little.

Zoomed in a little bit.

ERIK: There we go.

I can see some clearly
defined, like, holes.

Oh, yeah.

-Are those holes getting bigger?
-ERIK: Yes,

-I think so.
-What?

TRAVIS: It is. It’s opening up.

BRANDON: Yeah, yeah.

TRAVIS: Holy crap. Look at that.

What if it’s the electron
beam from the microscope

that’s causing this?

Let’s turn it off to see
if it goes back to normal.

-Mm.
-BRIAN: Yeah, we can do that.

Let’s see what happens.

Okay.

TRAVIS: All right, here we go.

ERIK: So that does
not look as porous...

-TRAVIS: No.
-...as it was.

BRIAN: Not nearly.

I have the old screengrab.

BRANDON: Look at that.

BRIAN: I’ve never seen anything

that is capable of doing this.

This stuff is fixing itself.

Yes. It’s healing.
That’s exactly right.

Unbelievable.

What the hell is in that mesa?

CAMERON: Skinwalker
Ranch command center

this is Cameron
inbound with Brandon.

We’ll be there landing shortly.



BRANDON: With every
new year of investigation...

...I never know what to expect

when it comes to
Skinwalker Ranch.

What is going to reveal
itself from one day to the next?

-Welcome back.
-Great to see you, Kaleb.

-And you.
-Good to be back.

Especially in light of
what we had witnessed

in the previous year.

As we started this new year
of experiments and activity,

we were all very
nervous and also excited.

What experiment

or research is going to
yield the greatest results?

Only time will tell.

Well, gentlemen,

it is so great to see you,

and I’m really excited to launch

this next chapter
of our investigation.

To come off of this last year

and all of the incredible
events that occurred,

documenting anomalies both above

and below the property,

and to be able to
come back and revisit

and expand on those efforts

is something that I’m
really excited about

and appreciate you setting
the-the stage for today.

ERIK: Well, Brandon, you
know, I’ve never felt better

about our readiness to
engage with the phenomenon,

to conduct the research.

I mean, you know, we’ve
never been this prepared.

I don’t think anyone’s
ever been this prepared

to do this kind
of investigation.

Fantastic. Jim,

would you mind telling us
about the ARC research center

that you have been working
with the team to establish

that is going to
take our investigation

in a more advanced direction,

-as far as technology and resource?
-Yeah.

Yeah, absolutely. So, you
know, what we call the ARC,

it is what we would
consider military-grade,

forward-operating base.

I mean, we think of
every experiment we do--

how much data, how many
millions of data points we capture--

so we built a facility that
could store and process

all this data

from magnetometers to GPS.

TRAVIS: For the
last couple of years,

we’ve been working with
Jim Royston and Sam Deriso

from OmniTeq to
help us investigate

the strange energy
signals and radiation spikes

that we detect across the ranch,

which often occur when
we see UAPs in the sky.

So, this year, Jim and Sam
have installed sensor boxes

across the property

that are designed to pinpoint
where these spikes occur

and then feed that data back to
a new facility known as the ARC

The hope is that these
new sensors will pinpoint

where these energy
spikes and signals occur

so that we can focus
on those hot spots

and determine just
what is causing them.

We’re putting a lot of
new-new equipment out here

on this property,
and it’s only growing.

-Yeah.
-BRANDON: I’m really,

uh, excited to see
what you have in store.

I know you’ve been
working behind the scenes

to lay the groundwork
for the next series

of experiments and research.

And, uh, really eager

-to see this proceed.
-ERIK: Yeah,

just as every other year
when we jump into this work,

you know, we’ve been
planning for months.

And Thomas is gonna
talk about the first one.

So, as we all know, we
were finally able to punch up

through the top of the mesa.

-Hurrah! -Hurrah!
-[laughter]

So we’ve been, uh, coordinating
with Mark Construction.

They’re gonna come back out.

Um, we’re gonna pick
up where we left off.

TRAVIS: In order
to help us identify

what the massive object
buried inside the mesa could be,

we’ve drilled the
first of two boreholes

on either side of the anomaly.

So once we get two
boreholes drilled all the way up

through the mesa,

we’ll insert scanning devices

that will hopefully show us

what we’re actually
dealing wit in there.

ERIK: Every time
we go into the mesa,

we bring something out of
there that doesn’t seem to belong.

So, you know, I-I’m-I’m
just chomping at the bit here.

I want to see what
else we bring out.

-It’s not too late to place your bets.
-Yeah.

-Yeah.
-CAMERON: Right. I’m-I’m looking forward

to exploring more of
the area above the ranch.

Like last year.

I know we’ve got
things below and above,

-and, uh, let’s-let’s, uh, probe that space.
-Yeah.

-CAMERON: I’m looking forward to it.
-I’m glad to hear you say that,

’cause we’re planning
on putting you to work.

Excellent. I’m
looking forward to it.

-Yeah. Good.
-TRAVIS: Also,

one of the big ones that, uh...

that is pertinent
to today, uh, was,

last year, multiple times with
the terrestrial lidar scanner,

we detected this strange,
cone-shaped barrier,

uh, over the triangle.

And what was that? What is that?

But we detected it many times,

and so we need
to follow up on that.

Next to the mesa,

one of the most mysterious
locations on the ranch

is a spot known as the triangle

Erik, are you doing something

-at 1.6?
-I’m not broadcasting.

TRAVIS: It’s a place
where we’ve detected

more energy spikes and
strange frequency signals

and UAPs than anywhere else.

-Hey, look! UAP right there!
-KALEB: Yep.

-I see it.
-BRYANT: Yep, there it is.

You got one.

TRAVIS: It’s also where
we saw a blob-like anomaly

just 31 feet in the
air two years ago

that may have
destroyed a rocket.

-What is that red circle?
-Whoa.

TRAVIS: And a
couple of months later,

it’s where Jim Royston’s
infrared lidar drone detected

a circular ring with a
black void in the center

It’s very similar to how
scientists have described

theoretical wormholes or
interdimensional portals.

We are hitting
something with the laser.

But then, last year,
after a laser beam

that we had stationed
at the triangle

was cut off by
something invisible

nearly 2,000 feet in the air...

PETE: This is

one of the terrestrial
laser scans we did.

...using another lidar device,

technologist Pete
Kelsey detected

a massive cone-shaped anomaly.

Can you look up?

It was centered at the triangle

and covered an area that
stretched from Homestead Two

all the way over to the
south and east fields.

It literally encompassed
the triangle

and several other hot spots

where we’ve seen all
kinds of crazy phenomena.

So what the hell is it?

ERIK: I’ve got something
that I want to show you

that is based on
Pete Kelsey’s data.

BRANDON: Show us.

-CAMERON: Wow! -BRANDON: Oh.

ERIK: Okay. What
you see here is,

is a construct that I
built that is based on

Pete Kelsey’s terrestrial
laser scanner data of the cone.

TRAVIS: When we
first saw this last year,

we kind of thought, "Well,
maybe it’s a cone," but...

that looks like a dome
or a bubble to me.

-ERIK: Exactly.
-TRAVIS: And what is its radius?

It’s about 610, uh, meters.

-Wow.
-BRANDON: Wow.

How can we zero in on this

and get more information
on what this phenomena is?

-Yeah.
-TRAVIS: And I think this is

kind of leading us to what
today’s experiment should be.

Following up on specific things
that we really don’t understand.

Is there an interaction we can
stimulate with this structure

to see if we can determine,

does it have a thickness?

Is it something that
we can measure?

Maybe it’s an optical
distortion as you pass through it.

Maybe you lose instrumentation

-for a brief moment.
-ERIK: Exactly.

I think we should, you
know, take the helicopter

through that zone,
go into the interior,

come out the other side.

We’ve got several instruments

that we can put on
the bird and just watch.

-BRANDON: You ready for this?
-I’m excited! This is great.

Let’s go to work.

I’m anxious to see
what we find out.

Let’s do it.

Let’s do it!

TRAVIS: And we’re off.

PETE: My friends.

Meet my trusted
friend and colleague,

-Irene Radcliffe, with FARO.
-Hi.

-Hi, nice to meet you.
-BRANDON: Welcome to Skinwalker Ranch.

TRAVIS: After we
finished our meeting,

Pete Kelsey and his colleague
Irene Radcliffe, an expert

from a 3D visualization
company known as FARO,

arrived on the property to
help us with our experiment.

The plan was to verify that
a massive invisible dome

really does
encompass the triangle

and other parts of the ranch.

So, Irene, I want to know
more about your first reaction

when you saw the data
that Pete collected out here.

Well, I’d never seen
anything quite like that before,

just the shape and the structure

of the dome itself,
that was pretty unique.

TRAVIS: Let’s just
start with the hypothesis

that there is some sort

of physical barrier
or phenomena there

that the lidar
detected, this dome.

So we’re gonna do an
experiment to attempt to measure

the thing, today.

This is a pretty complicated

and ambitious effort,
so let’s get to it.

-We got a lot to do.
-Can’t wait.

Irene, you’ll come with me,
we’ll head out to the triangle.

Let’s go.

TRAVIS: To investigate
the dome today,

Cameron Fugal will fly
Pete Kelsey in the helicopter

at various altitudes
between 120 and 3,000 feet.

They’ll travel from west to eas

and then back east to west
multiples times through the are

that the dome is
believed to cover.

All the while, Pete will use a
handheld lidar SLAM scanner,

which emits
infrared laser beams,

to confirm the size
and boundaries

of this massive dome.

The helicopter will
also be transmitting

a constant radio
frequency signal

at 1.2 gigahertz.

Erik chose that frequency
because he wanted

a baseline signal
that would be different

from any other frequency
that our equipment might emit.

That way, there will be

no confusion and it will
make it easier to track

during the experiment
as the helicopter flies

through the believed
barriers of the dome.

If any breaks in
the signal occur,

the helicopter’s GPS device
will pinpoint where that happen

and hopefully indicate if it
could be related to the dome.

-I’ll let you put it where you think is best.
-[chuckles]

TRAVIS: Additionally,
Irene will be operating

two terrestrial lidar
scanners at the triangle,

which is at the very center
of the dome’s interior.

All right, this one’s
set up, good to go.

-Both are ready.
-Awesome.

I’m just gonna do a
test on this real quick.

TRAVIS: All right.

Kaleb and I will have
a third one running

in the east field canyon

outside the believed
boundary of the dome.

These instruments
will hopefully help us

to verify the dome’s dimensions.

Okay, one, two,
three check, check.

Comms, comms.

Copy that.

TRAVIS: And
Thomas will be tracking

the helicopter’s speed
with a radar device.

Erik and I are curious to see

if the dome might slow
him down or speed him up

since we’ve seen that
sort of thing happen

with rockets and drones
in previous experiments.

Finally, Jim
Royston will be flying

his drone-based lidar device

inside the dome at the triangle

to look for more evidence of
the possible portal phenomen

that he’s detected
there in the past.

SAM: The best thing
about this experiment is

it’s gonna be repeatable.

We can see what it does

each time it goes
from east to west

-and west to east.
-ERIK: Mm-hmm.

We’ll be observing the aviation
exercises conducted today

from multiple locations,
including what we call the ARC,

which will allow us to
monitor our measurements

in real time, in
front of our eyes.

Hey, Erik. This is Kaleb.

So we’re set up over
here in the east field.

We’re ready to go
whenever you guys are.

Copy you, Kaleb, we’re
ready to start the experiment.

We’re all set up and
ready to go in the triangle.

All right, I’m going
to start up at this time.

[blades whirring]

All systems checked,
and all systems look good.

ERIK [over walkie]: Hey, Pete, can
you turn on the 1.2 gigahertz signal?

Yes, sir.

TRAVIS: Hey, I can
see a 1.2 signal big time

on the helicopter.

CAMERON: We’re
gonna launch at this time

THOMAS: Copy that. Be safe.

ERIK: There he goes.

He’s headed over
to our starting point

at Homestead Two.

These blue dots
show his location.

CAMERON: All right, we’re
just about over the triangle here.

About 100 feet.

I’m gonna slow
it up a little bit.

THOMAS: Copy that, Cameron.

Hey, Erik, I’m starting to see

some weird anomaly
behavior at the triangle.

ERIK: Yeah, so we’re
getting these spots

lighting up with the red points.

Everything’s clean
all the way up here

until we get to the triangle,

and now I’m getting these
d-data corruption errors, so...

So we’re seeing this right
before this experiment.

Yeah.

Even in the very earliest
stages of this experiment,

we’re seeing erroneous
data points above the triangle.

This is a region of the ranch

where we’ve seen

all sorts of anomalous
events play out.

It could well be that
the early indications

coming out of that GPS tracker

will provide evidence

of something special
taking place here.

You know, I can’t wait
to see what happens

when he comes back through.

-JIM: Hey, Thomas.
-Yeah?

I just had GPS failure,

which is interesting.

I can’t even fly.

CAMERON: We’re just about
to commence the beginning

out here on the west
side of the dome,

just outside of Homestead Two.

We’ll be turning around.

We’re at 120 feet

and traveling back to the east.

We’re starting our scan now.

-All good, Cameron.
-CAMERON: Okay.

Pete’s got his machine working.

We’re on at this time.

That’s some really
good-looking data

going through there
with the exception

of the few errors
in the triangle.

All right, so we’re
passing through the dome.

So far so good.

THOMAS: We got you at


CAMERON: I concur with that.

We’re coming up on
the triangle at this time.

THOMAS: Copy that.

Okay, did you see
what happened there?

-Look, look, it’s happening again.
-BRANDON: Yeah.

ERIK: That’s registering a
positional error and data corruption.

Oh, look, it’s
one after another.

-Yeah.
-SAM: That’s highly unusual.

What we’re seeing is
interruptions occurring

-in a specific location.
-And it’s right above the triangle.

-Not a coincidence.
-ERIK: Wow.

BRANDON: It’s one after another.

Yeah.

And it’s right
above the triangle.

♪ ♪

ERIK: As soon
as the helicopter is

in the interior of
this inferred dome

and just above the triangle,

we’re seeing these red points

that represent some
kind of data corruption.

CAMERON: We’re just on
the east side of the dome.

We’ll turn around and
come back to the west.

Okay, he’s coming back.

TRAVIS: All during
the experiment,

every single time that
Cameron flew through the dome,

his GPS data was
consistently corrupted

right above the triangle.

So the question is,

was the dome
causing that to happen?

CAMERON: Proceeding to the dome.

All right, so we’re passing
through the dome boundary here.

CAMERON: Okay, I’m
over the triangle at 120 feet

and 15 knots.

That’s about 17 miles an hour.

ERIK: Okay, look. Now
notice, back into the triangle,

we got another error point.

We’re getting

legitimate positional
errors here.

What the hell?

So something is
strange going on here.

Check this out.

I’m picking up a different


from the one Erik
is broadcasting.

I should only be seeing
the one on the helicopter.

What is this?

A mysterious signal
at 1.2 gigahertz

suddenly appeared on
my spectrum analyzer

in addition to the one
Erik has been broadcasting

from the helicopter.

It was coming in
stronger, but at almost

the exact same frequency.

Did the dome-- or
something inside it--

mimic our signal and
send it back to us?

What in the heck is going on?

That-- I don’t know.

-That don’t make any sense.
-No.

TRAVIS: It’s like something in
the dome is playing tag with us.

What in the hell could do that?

CAMERON: All right,
so if you can copy me,

we are commencing
back to the east.

Copy that.

This is out at Homestead Two.

He’ll come back around.

IRENE: All right,
here they come.

PETE: We are scanning.

All right, so we’re passing
through the dome boundary.

CAMERON: Okay. I’m
flying through the triangle.

Look what’s happening.

BRANDON: Multiple error
points right above the triangle.

It’s-it’s going crazy.

THOMAS: Are you hearing this?

Something is blocking
the radio signal.

We have good
strong comms with him

until he gets directly
over the triangle,

and then his transmission
becomes so garbled

we can’t understand him.

Well, that’s really interesting.

Yeah, very interesting.

TRAVIS: With every
pass that Cameron made

through this believed dome

at an altitude of 120 feet,

right when he went
over the triangle,

the equipment malfunctions
seemed to get worse and worse.

It really was like something
didn’t want us to collect data

right at that spot.

So we also need to see

if it happens over the triangle

at higher elevations.

Erik, I’m gonna have Kaleb
tell Cameron to go on up

to an altitude of 400 feet.

Yeah, that works for me.

Hey, uh, Travis
is requesting 400.

Uh, roger. I’m
going up to 400 feet.

All right. I’m gonna go as
slow as I can here, Pete.

Yep. I am scanning.

Cameron is now in a climb.

Oh, yeah. He’s-he’s going
to a much higher altitude here.

♪ ♪

Commencing west.

TRAVIS: We needed as many
comparable data sets as possible.

So we thought,
"Let’s nearly triple

"the altitude of the helicopter

"and see if that
would get the same--

or even stranger-- results."

ERIK: Okay, so we’re
coming back over the triangle

at a higher altitude here.

CAMERON: Coming up
over the triangle at this time.



ERIK: Look, look.

It’s happening again.

Yeah.

ERIK: And especially where
we’re retracing this path,

we can see if it’s
reproducible and, you know,

I got to tell you, already I’m
getting the sense that it is.

The way that this is lining
up, it’s painting a picture.

Yet again, it’s like the data
is disappearing into a void.

TRAVIS: Look right here,
this other 1.2 gigahertz signal,

it’s strong and I
don’t know what it is.

It just makes a clicking noise.

Let’s listen to this
thing. Let me turn it on.

[garbled static]

Sounds familiar, huh?

Yeah. Very similar to
what we heard last year.

Yeah.

When I turned the audio up

on that strange


I got the chills,

because it sounded a lot

like a mysterious signal
that we had detected

last year in the east field.

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

You hear it? You hear it?

One that I believe
might have been

a communication signal.

So it really made me wonder

who or what was broadcasting
this from inside the dome.

I wasn’t expecting
to see that at all.

That’s, that is...

that’s interesting.

CAMERON: Be advised,
we are proceeding east.

We are at the west
side of the dome.

About 33 knots.

THOMAS [over walkie]: Copy that.

All right, here it comes.

♪ ♪

Hey, I just saw
something zip by me.

Whoa!

Pete says he just had
something zip by the helicopter.

Very small, very fast.

Cameron is saying he
might have had something fly

by the helicopter.

Oh, really?

When Pete Kelsey reported seein

a possible UAP
from the helicopter,

it made me wonder

if some pieces of the
puzzle were coming together.

TRAVIS: During previous
aerial experiments

above the triangle...

CAMERON: Oh,
there’s another one.

TRAVIS: ...we’ve
seen white orbs appear

out of nowhere
near the helicopter

right after we had
equipment malfunctions

and detected possible
communication signals.

So, was the UAP that
Pete saw connected

to the 1.2 gigahertz signal

that appeared on my
spectrum analyzer?

And if so,

is the dome the
key to figuring out

where these UAPs come from?

All right, we’re on the
east side of the dome,

on the outside of the dome.

We’re gonna commence
climbing up to 1,000 feet.

We’ll go west at 1,000.

TRAVIS: According to
our previous lidar scans,

the dome extends about


from the center of the triangle

So after seeing
numerous anomalies

where Cameron flew through it

between 120 and 400 feet high,

Erik and I wanted to see

if the same thing would
happen as he went higher,

and we really wanted to know

if something even more
revealing might happen.

ERIK: So Cameron’s gone
to a much higher altitude.

Let’s see if something shows up.

-Yeah.
-SAM: Yeah.

We show directly
over the triangle

exactly at 1,000 feet
above ground level,

westbound.

ERIK: Look. Look what
just happened there.

BRANDON: Look
where he’s oriented.

Right above the triangle, again.

ERIK: Again.

-Look at how they line up.
-SAM: Yeah.

It’s almost like the
errors project almost

exactly straight up
from the triangle.

-ERIK: Yeah, it’s like a column.
-SAM: Yeah.

ERIK: We’re
looking at a real-time

GPS tracking system
aboard the helicopter,

and I’m seeing
unexpectedly erratic behavior

at certain points
along the flight.

They are lining up exactly
with the center of the triangle

Which is also at the
center of the dome.

Maybe there’s a
connection between the two.

JIM: Look at this.

You see those GPS errors?

THOMAS: Yeah.

So what I am seeing is

he’ll get a certain
distance west,

this will go away.

Right on that dome boundary,

-we get this... See? Here it goes.
-Oh, it just went...

-I’m telling you. There it is.
-Cameron, where are you at right now,

-east to west?
-I want that GPS point.

We’re right over Homestead Two



THOMAS: Copy that.

Watch this next pass.

THOMAS: The second that the
helicopter gets inside the dome,

Jim has all kinds
of error messages

on his controller screen.

But when the helicopter
goes outside the boundary,

the messages disappeared
just on the outside

of this invisible barrier.

Would you like to try
a different altitude?

KALEB [over walkie]: If you
can, do a pass at 3,000 feet.

CAMERON: All right,
a pass at 3,000 feet

TRAVIS: The final test
of this experiment was

to see what happens
when the helicopter flies

above the believed dome.

If nothing strange were
to occur, that would offer

even more evidence
that this thing is real.

Cameron’s at 3,000 feet now.

THOMAS: Hey, how’s
that lidar looking?

JIM: We have no errors.

So it’s not doing it now.

JIM: The lidar is working again.

THOMAS: Yeah, he’s well
above the top of that dome.

Wow.

TRAVIS: Let’s see.

Hey, Kaleb, that second


So finally the spectrum
analyzer is acting like it should.

-[Travis laughing] -Yeah, I can
see that there’s nothing there.

Well, good. [laughs]

All righty, how-how’s
everything looking?

Are we ready to call it?

I’ve got what I need.

Pete says he’s got
everything he needs.

Yeah, 10-4, Cameron,
if you want to head back.

Sounds good.

ERIK: I think it’s
significant that we are

predictably seeing
data corruption errors

from a GPS tracker

when the helicopter is
in the interior of the dome.

Whereas as soon
as the helicopter is

outside of this dome,

everything went
perfectly back to normal.

This is potentially
supportive of the idea

that there really is
a correspondence

between the errors and
the boundary of this dome

we’ve been mapping.

BRANDON: Very good.

♪ ♪

ERIK: Hey, Brandon.
Hey, Cameron.

Hey, Erik. Hey, team.

Great to be with you guys!

A lot of data to cover.

I’m anxious to see
what you found.

PETE: Yes.

TRAVIS: After two
days of processing

all the data from
our experiment,

Erik and Pete Kelsey called us

into the command
center for a review

while Brandon and Cameron
joined us on video conference.

And I don’t think any
of us had ever been

so anxious for a debrief.

ERIK: Before we even
got into the experiment,

I was seeing things
that made no sense

at the beginning
of this exercise.

Like, uh, lots of GPS
data corruption errors.

SAM: Yeah.

PETE: Yeah, and remember,

something went
zipping right by me.

[chuckles] And, wow!

Small, white, fast.

I remember that.

-PETE: Yeah.
-ERIK: Well,

I have scrubbed through
the high-speed footage.

We did manage to catch
a perspective on that.

We’ve got to see this.

ERIK: I want to
see what you think.

This is just under
the helicopter.

There it is.

Wow.

PETE: I post-processed the data

from the terrestrial
laser scanners,

from the triangle.

And I can’t believe
what I’m seeing.

What the... What in the hell?

What?!

ERIK: There it is.

CAMERON: Wow!

-All right, let’s dive in on that.
-TRAVIS: Yeah.

ERIK: Okay, here we go.

TRAVIS: Pete Kelsey reported
that he saw an orb-like UAP

fly by the helicopter
two days ago

during our experiment
above the triangle.

And sure enough, a
camera that Erik had mounted

to the copter’s skid

captured images of
the same type of thing.

So, what was it?
Where did it come from?

And could the
dome-like anomaly be

the key to finding out?

Do you see any features

on this target that
resemble a bird?

Seems pretty spherical to me.

BRANDON: It looks
like a relatively bright

or white spherical object.

ERIK: That’s
right. That’s right.

Yep.

Cameron was absolutely right.

The orb looked just
like others we’ve seen

high above the triangle
on a number of occasions.

So, is something at the triangle

or inside this dome
causing them to appear?

Again, an experiment that gives
us more questions than answers.

I mean, so-so what’s next?

ERIK: I want to bring
up the GPS record

that I got off of that sensor
on the helicopter skid

during the course
of the experiment.

So I’m gonna give you
essentially the summary view...

-TRAVIS: Yeah.
-...of the entire experiment.

So, you see those red points?

-These are the errors.
-PETE: Yeah, that’s correct.

ERIK: Look where
the error points occur.

-PETE: Wow.
-Now look what happens here,

I’m seeing a column.

TRAVIS: So that’s
right over the triangle.

ERIK: Correct.

TRAVIS: That’s
even more interesting.

ERIK: As it stacks up,
we start to see the pattern.

TRAVIS: This data
actually matches

all the data we’ve
seen for five years now.

Yeah.

TRAVIS: The triangle is at the
dead center of this believed dome.

And in addition to
all these GPS errors,

this is right where
we previously saw

a mysterious blob destroy
a rocket 31 feet in the air.

It’s also where Jim
Royston obtained lidar data

of something resembling
a possible wormhole.

And it’s where we saw a
laser beam literally cut off


at the top of this dome.

It looks like the thing
could actually be real.

So, what is it?

So, what’s next?

I think we want to jump
into Pete’s material.

TRAVIS: All right,
what else you got, Pete?

PETE: Yeah, so...

I post-processed the data

for the terrestrial laser
scanners from the triangle.

Last year, the
dome was in the sky,

the hemisphere was above
ground, but now, I’ll bring it up.

This is a dome
that’s underground,



-ERIK: What the...?
-TRAVIS: Okay, so...

CAMERON: Wow.

PETE: I can’t believe
what I’m seeing.

The same geometry,
essentially, as last time.

It’s amazing data.

So I called Irene right away,

and Irene asked me,

"Do you have any unusual
data in your scans?"

And I said, "Yeah, I
have subterranean domes

in all of my scans."

And she said, "So do I."

Wow.

ERIK: Well, it’s really
interesting that we have

an intact dome-like structure
below ground just as we’ve been

-talking about above ground.
-Yes.

What’s really interesting
is that the lidar did not

pick up the above-ground
dome this go-around,

but our other instruments did.

Our other instruments
are showing us there’s

something there, but
we didn’t find it this time

-in the lidar.
-Right.

Let’s spend some time looking
at last year’s work again.

Yes.

ERIK: This is the model based

on Pete Kelsey’s original
scan of this anomaly.

TRAVIS: So we
have lidar data here

above and below the surface,

and maybe they’re both
showing the same thing.

-Right. -Yes.

So there they are.

-I’m pretty excited.
-THOMAS: Wow.

I mean, I feel like
we’re in a bubble here.

TRAVIS: You’re right, Thomas.

There could be a huge bubble

that goes above
and below the ground!

PETE: This is a total
mystery once again.

Yeah, it’s as crazy as
hell, is how it sounds.

Yeah.

♪ ♪

THOMAS: We’re in a bubble here.

-You know?
-TRAVIS: Yeah.

It’s as crazy as
hell, is how it sounds.

For sure.

Yep.

TRAVIS: So the question is,

what is the size of this bubble?

ERIK: Yes.

Yeah.

It seems like there’s some
kind of a boundary there.

Yeah.

TRAVIS: We might have made
a huge breakthrough discovery

on Skinwalker Ranch.

According to multiple
sets of new data,

what we thought was a
massive dome over the triangle

could actually be a
bubble, or a sphere,

that reaches above
and below the ground.

What else you got?

Um, have a look at
this terrestrial laser scan.

PETE: Okay.

So, this is the laser
scanner at the triangle, right?

Yes.

-Got it.
-PETE: Yep.

TRAVIS: So, then
what are the little, uh,

blue things floating
in the sky over here?

Is that where the scanner is?

PETE: Positions of each
scanner at the triangle.

TRAVIS: You mean
the actual scanners

that Irene was
operating on the ground?

PETE: Correct.
About 30 feet in the air.

-30 feet?
-30?

What?

Yes.

THOMAS: So I
can, I can attest you,

the scanners never moved.

They stayed in the same
spot for the entire time.

TRAVIS: And so that’s a hell
of an interesting number, too.

-THOMAS: 30 feet is exactly where the Blob was at.
-Yes.

-Yep.
-Is where the rocket blew up.

Yeah.

Wow.

Wow.

What do we think is
the appropriate follow-up

to these frankly
very confusing data?

We need to look
through that barrier wall

of this bubble and see if
we can start pinpointing

what’s triggering it.

Well, that sounds
like marching orders.

Thank you, Brandon.

-Thanks, Cameron. -Very good.

Dang right. So
let’s get on with it.

-ERIK: All right.
-THOMAS: All right.

ERIK: I think the
investigation of the bubble

is going to be a
driver for our work, uh,

throughout this summer.

Clearly, there is something
real producing this effect.

You know, whether it is actually
something physically out there,

or whether it’s something
causing the instrument

to behave in ways that
it’s not intended to behave,

both of those are interesting.

TRAVIS: For five years,

we’ve been documenting
bizarre and disturbing things

at different spots
all across this ranch.

Is it possible

that we’ve made a discovery
that might explain some,

if not all, of it?

I think it’s gonna get
pretty wild out here

as we work even
harder to find out.

BRANDON: It is imperative
that we find the answers

and better document the nature

of this strange bubble
above the ranch.

It may provide the
answers that we are seeking

relative to the agenda and
origin of the phenomena

at Skinwalker Ranch.

There are dark forces at
work at Skinwalker Ranch.

There’s some kind of phenomena
or something inside the mesa.

Put that thing in there
and see what we can see.

-We found something that shouldn’t be in that mesa.
-Wow.

This could be one of
the most miraculous finds

here on the ranch.

ERIK: What does this mean?

KALEB: Something
is k*lling coyotes.

TRAVIS: And all of the
things we’ve done in our lives

lead us to this
moment to find this.

We got something on the mesa.

We’re evacuating now,
but it seems to be following us.

Hey, guys, there’s
a low-flying plane out here.

I get the feeling that we’re
actually being surveilled.

Something’s hacked
into your system wirelessly?

Somebody is stealing
the video from these cameras.

-Did you see that?
-Yeah, I saw that.

TRAVIS:
We got a UAP, y’all.

I show elevated gamma readings.

TRAVIS:
We’re evacuating now.

Oh, something’s wrong.

They need to just get
the hell away from there.

-Ooh!
-TRAVIS: Everybody go.

Everybody get in the car
and get out of here.

THOMAS:
Go, go, go, go!

TRAVIS:
Is this not scary?
