05x07 - The Cone Zone

[bunniefuu]

Look over here.
I have never seen

that signal here before.

She's not wanting to move.

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

When have we heard that before?

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

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

TRAVIS: I think
that could be a UAP.

We're getting a
signal at 1.6 gigahertz,

pointed at Homestead Two.

TIM: Lasers up.

I can't explain this.

The beam stopped
and then starts again.

BRYANT: You're kidding me.

NARRATOR: There is
a ranch in Northern Utah.

It is considered the epicenter

of the strangest and most
disturbing phenomena on Earth:

animal mutilations,

bizarre UFO sightings

and unusual energies that
have proven harmful to humans.

For 20 years, the
federal government

tried to find
answers and failed.

Now a new team of
dedicated scientists,

researchers and
experts has taken over.

They are determined to
solve the mystery and reveal...

The Secret of Skinwalker Ranch.

- THOMAS: Hey, guys.
- ALEX: How we doing, Thomas?

So, you were able
to get the bit back in

and get back up in
the hole then, right?

Ready to rock and
roll when you are.

So maybe today we
can punch through.

- Yep.
- Fingers crossed.

Our team is working every day

to make a breakthrough
discovery that will explain

all the strange phenomena that
happens on Skinwalker Ranch.

And, this afternoon,
Thomas Winterton checked in

at the mesa where we've
started a drilling operation

hoping to make our
biggest breakthrough yet.

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

through the top over there.

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

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

Good.

TRAVIS: During a previous
drilling operation back in 2021,

we encountered a 400-foot-long

dome-shaped object
buried deep inside the mesa.

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

we detected several smaller
anomalies surrounding it.

We have no idea what
these things could be.

But during that first
drilling operation...

Wow, look at all the metal.

TRAVIS: we recovered small
metal fragments that are made

of similar materials that NASA
uses to protect the surfaces

of our own spacecraft.

We're looking good on elevation?

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

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

ALEX: Okay.

TRAVIS: Two
days ago, the drilling

was going perfectly until
the bit hit an obstruction

about 40 feet in that
forced it upwards.

And just then, we detected

a strange radio signal

at a frequency
around 31 megahertz

that was coming
from that same spot

inside the mesa.

ALEX: Hold that.

TRAVIS: Now, the
team has moved their rig

several feet back and
have started a new borehole.

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

so the plan is
to drill two holes

that will trace around
the dome-shaped object

and smaller anomalies

and then break through
the top of the mesa.

This will allow us to install a
number of scanning devices

on both sides to
hopefully help us identify

what these things are

and strategize the best
way to finally uncover them.

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

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

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

TRAVIS: The drilling
operation in the mesa

was gonna take several
days to be completed.

So, later that day,
we shifted our focus

about a quarter
mile to the east,

to another spot
where we've witnessed

even more crazy
phenomena including UAPs,

GPS errors, and
crazy energy spikes.

It's a location we
call the triangle.

- So...
- ERIK: Yep.

I'm curious...

what is the plan for tonight?

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

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

If we can use these as
expendable resources,

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

and see if that
triggers the anomaly.

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

TRAVIS: Two nights ago,

we shot seven
multi-colored lasers

straight up above the
triangle hoping to identify

what might be the cause

of all the strange
things we've seen there.

Look right here. What is this?

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

I still see it moving
to the north and west.

We discovered a black
void in one of the lasers

at about 100 feet in the air.

That made no sense.

If the laser hit an obstruction,

it should've been
cut off at that point.

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

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

What is it? And so,
if we can categorize

what that is,
then, uh, that-that

- should tell us something.
- Yes.

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

we're talking about
having Nu-Salt

and some of their lasers here.

Uh, we need to make sure that

the rockets can't get
anywhere near their equipment.

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

- Sure.
- Hey, what is that?

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

You see that?

TRAVIS: Oh, yeah, yeah,

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

TRAVIS: You guys seeing this?

Yeah, it's right there.

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

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

I just lost it.

BRYANT: I don't see it either.

TRAVIS: I blinked
and it was gone.

I have no idea what
that UAP was that we saw

while we were setting
up for the experiment.

But it did look very
similar to one that we saw

just two nights ago

and definitely didn't
appear to be an airplane.

THOMAS: Looks like
the other guys are here.

- Where do we go?
- Right over here.

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

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

to see if we
could figure it out.

Hey, fellas, how are y'all?

- Good, Travis.
- Good.

Well, Tim, here we are again.

Here we are.

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

into the space with
your laser space canon

and see if we can't
stimulate a response.

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

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

but when you had
the laser space canons

around the, uh, triangle here,

what we saw in a
long exposure photo,

actually, several of them,

uh, was up at about,

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

something moved through
the beam and blocked the beam.

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

on these locations

so that we get a
secondary perspective

if something does in
fact show up in our space.

TRAVIS: Tonight,

we'll repeat the
laser experiment

with just one laser
canon at the triangle

to see if the same
thing happens again.

Only this time, we're
also gonna launch rockets

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

Are you ready to
make it bright again?

I am. Let's do it.

Yeah, what about you, Pete?

You ready to paint the
ground, paint the sky?

- Absolutely.
- ERIK: You ready, Jim?

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

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

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

[whoops]

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

it is above the triangle.

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

sh**ting a beam up
through the anomalous zone

above the triangle and
start launching rockets...

ROYSTON: Man, we
got all kinds of TVs.

TRAVIS: we're also
gonna scan the entire area

from the ground
and all the way up

and around the laser beam

with three different
types of lidar devices.

One will be an aerial
drone-based device

operated by Jim Royston.

Another is a
terrestrial laser scanner

that Pete Kelsey
will set up on a tripod

in the middle of
the triangle area.

And, finally, Kaleb
Bench will operate

a hand-held unit known
as a SLAM scanner.

All three of these
devices use infrared light

that can image things on
the surface of the ground

and in the air
that the naked eye

might not be able to see.

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

his system set up.

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

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

are ready, setting up the drone?

- ROYSTON: Yeah.
- PETE: Yeah.

I like the sounds of that.

TRAVIS: We're gonna go at dark.

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

We have something
going on with the rockets.

We have something
going on with the rockets.

We're actually firing
rockets straight up,

right above that launch tower.

Literally, sparks are gonna fly.

Okay. All right.

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

and then I'll give
you guys a yell

when the laser guys
are ready to turn on.

- Okay.
- Awesome.

I should probably get back

over to the command center

and make sure everything's

trained on this area.

Erik, I've got a walkie,

so we'll stay in close contact.

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

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

but we're very interested
in what we might see

if we intersect something

at that hundred-foot level

or perhaps even as
high as 5,000 feet.

We're directing the laser energy

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

stimulate a response based
on our experience to date.

I've got everything
up and running,

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

Copy that.

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

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

Lasers on. There you go.

Uh, guys.

We are hitting
something with the laser.

Y'all-y'all look.

THOMAS: Is that clouds?

I'm seeing stars.

Yeah, we're hitting something.

You see the spot up there?

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

What are we hitting?

DON: I have no idea.

TRAVIS: What are we hitting?

TIM: I have no idea.

It should be going
higher than that.

I don't think it
should stop that low.

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

the beam was cut off by
an invisible obstruction.

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

this was at a much
higher altitude.

So, is this something new?

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

TRAVIS [over walkie]:
Hey, Erik. Do you copy?

ERIK: Yeah. Go ahead, Travis.

TRAVIS: We have
turned on the space canon

and it seems to be hitting
something in the sky.

ERIK: What in the hell?

Okay, okay, copy.

That is weird, man.

THOMAS: What the heck?

My camera just went out.

[sighs]

The hell?

My camera...

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

This camera is just not working.

I pick up this night camera

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

and start to film
something of interest,

it shuts itself off.

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

What's going on there

that would cause this
equipment to malfunction?

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

so, every time I
focus to the lasers,

it goes black.

ERIK: Oh, look at that.

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

Copy that.

I'm gonna turn the
antennas that way.

Copy you, Travis.

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

includes the Kraken,
which is different

from our RF spectrum
analyzer equipment.

The RF spectrum
analyzer allows us to see

which frequencies are
present and at what amplitude.

On the other hand,

the Kraken is a system
that has five antennas,

it is capable of not only
detecting RF signals

but of identifying the direction

from which those
signals are coming from.

And right now, the
Kraken system indicates

that we have a
source of 1.6 gigahertz,

in fact, coming from
Homestead Two.

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

♪

THOMAS: What
are you listening to?

DON: It's getting a signal.

Yeah, y'all can hear that?

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

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

Hey, Erik, do you copy?

We are getting a signal
from behind Homestead Two,

and it has definite sound to it.

Like it's a-a
communication signal.

We've often detected

a strange radio
signal at a frequency

of 1.6 gigahertz when
we've also experienced

other strange
phenomena on the ranch.

So, when Erik
picked that signal up

on his Kraken
surveillance system

coming from about a half
mile away at Homestead Two,

it made me wonder

if it might also be related
to whatever was blocking

the laser beam
above the triangle.

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

and this 1.6 signal coming in

and it's coming from
Homestead Two?

Yeah, behind Homestead Two.

Behind Homestead Two?
What would be broadcasting

- back there?
- I don't know.

ERIK: What the heck?

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

a descending light to
the north of the mesa.

Are you seeing this?

THOMAS: Descending light?

We don't have
anything up right now.

Where, Erik? We're looking.

You got it, Dragon?

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

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

ERIK: What I'm seeing
through the cameras

during this exercise
is the appearance

of a bright light

descending gradually
towards the mesa.

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

a satellite, a meteor,

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

It's not clear.

THOMAS: You got a camera on it?

BRYANT: I'm trying to look.

TRAVIS: Go, go, go.

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

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

Up on top of the mesa?

Well, I'm just wondering

if maybe the mesa's
obstructing our view.

TRAVIS: Sure. Could be.

But how could we
get up there to see?

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

Do it.

Take a camera
with you, but do it.

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

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

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

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

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

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

and we can't see it.

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

couldn't see the UAP

that Erik clearly saw

on his surveillance cameras
at the command center.

But then, nothing was
making any sense out there.

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

Erik, we are not
seeing it out here.

So it might be
something in the infrared

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

TRAVIS: It suddenly dawned on me

that Erik's surveillance cameras
have infrared capabilities,

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

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

- Kaleb!
- KALEB: Yeah?

Get that SLAM scanner going.

Pete, get the
terrestrial lidar going.

Y'all, anything that
works in the infrared,

get it going right now.

I really hoped that the
handheld lidar SLAM scanner

that Kaleb had,

Pete Kelsey's
terrestrial lidar scanner

and Jim Royston's lidar drone

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

All right, I'm heading up.

Because they
all use infrared light

to scan environments
for anomalies.

Okay, Pete, I'm good.

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

TRAVIS: Jim got his drone up,

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

the terrestrial lidar going,
so maybe we'll capture

something with that.

Okay.

ERIK: Yeah, go ahead.

I'm looking for that light.

Are you still seeing it?

That's a negative, Thomas.

So while we were doing this,

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

If we have the mobile
launch pad out here,

I'm wondering if we ought not,

while that laser's
hitting something,

sh**t a rocket up higher.

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

Dragon's idea to launch a rocket

up to where the laser
was being blocked

was perfectly timed.

If we could get a
rocket to hit that spot

and something happened to
it, maybe we could also finally

get an image of whatever
this obstruction was.

Erik, do you copy?

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

Copy you. Thanks
for that, Travis.

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

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

Hey, Thomas. Do you copy?

Yeah, Travis.

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

Copy that. Be advised

we are about to launch a rocket.

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

TRAVIS: Everybody,
clear the area.

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

Five, four,

three, two, one.

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

and turned as far away
from that laser beam

as it could get.

BRYANT: Did you
see that thing take off?

TRAVIS: That thing took off

and turned as far away
from that laser beam

as it could get.

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

We had that launch rail
pretty much straight up,

there's no wind.

That thing took off and it,

it avoided that laser
beam like the plague,

is what it looked like.

That thing completely
took off away from the laser.

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

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

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

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

it made us all wonder if
it also caused the rocket

to veer off course.

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

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

Sounds good, man.
See you in a second.

DON: Travis, there's two bulbs

on the end of the laser beam.

TRAVIS: That's
right, there sure is.

The laser split in two.

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

I have never seen that before.

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

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

TRAVIS: The laser
beam split into two points.

It should just be a single beam.

Why is it X'd up there?

Hey, Erik, do you have a copy?

ERIK [over walkie]:
Yeah, Bryant, go ahead.

BRYANT: The laser cannon,

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

like, as-as if it was
hitting something.

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

and see if I can confirm.

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

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

There is a significant
increase in the beam diameter

at a very well-defined altitude.

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

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

uh, making an X.

BRYANT: Yeah, that...

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

suddenly looked like it was
splitting the beam in two.

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

I want to put another
rocket in it, honestly.

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

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

TRAVIS: Yeah.

BRYANT: Hey, Erik?

Yeah, Bryant, go ahead.

Hey, we're gonna
go ahead and launch

another rocket.

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

TRAVIS: The first rocket
looked like it was pushed away

from the invisible obstruction
high above the triangle.

So, I wanted to
launch another one

to see if we could
reach that spot

and hit whatever was up there

blocking and splitting
the laser beam.

Rocket's hot.

Rocket's going in five,

four, three,

two, one.

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

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

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

That is just stupid crazy.

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

They're supposed
to go straight up.

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

so all I could speculate on was

whatever was
splitting the laser beam

might have been connected
to these errors, but how?

Well, that's that.

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

Yep.

- What a night, man.
- Yeah.

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

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

Hey, Erik, do you copy?

ERIK: Yeah, Travis, I copy.

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

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

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

Let's bring the lasers down.

TIM: Lasers coming down.

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

but on the other hand, what
we witnessed was beyond

what we thought was
possible. Ultimately,

we collected a
lot of lidar scans

on the ground and in the air,

so with those,
along with the video

of the laser beam getting
blocked and split into two,

and the UAP that Erik recorded,

we've got a lot
of data to analyze,

and hopefully, we'll
get some answers

about what happened
out here tonight.

Well, guys, that
was spectacular.

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

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

Tonight was special.
There was a lot going on.

TRAVIS: Oh, there was
something about tonight,

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

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

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

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

TRAVIS: And I can't wait to see

what the data tells us.

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

TRAVIS: Hey, good
night. Good night.

All right, buddy,
if you're ready,

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

TRAVIS: The next morning,

while we were
waiting for Pete Kelsey

to process all of the lidar
data that was collected

at the triangle last
night, the rest of us

were monitoring the drilling
operation at the mesa.

The team from Mark
Construction had gotten more

than 100 feet inside the
mesa with their second hole,

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

all the way through and
get us closer to figuring out

what the dome-shaped object
and all the smaller anomalies

around it actually are.

[thud]

- Did you feel that?
- Yeah.

Did you guys just
hear that noise?

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

Hey, Alex, you got a copy?

Yeah, everything
good down there, bud?

No, pretty sure
we just broke off.

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

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

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

Yeah, we'll have
to figure that out.

THOMAS: Hey,
guys, you got a copy?

Yeah, go ahead, Thomas.

Uh, so, something's broke.

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

We hit a hard surface,
and unfortunately,

the drill rod snaps off.

So, hitting this hard surface
really makes me wonder

what's lying in this

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

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

It's spinning in here,

then it's broke up
there somewhere.

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

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

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

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

Did you hit something
impenetrable?

ALEX: We hit something hard.

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

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

and as soon as he
started to drill through it

is when it snapped.

TRAVIS: Here we go again.

The drill bit has reached
something inside the mesa

that it can't punch through.

And now it's apparently
caused the drill pipe

or maybe even
the drill bit to break.

Are we possibly hitting
another part of the debris field

that surrounds the 400-foot-long

dome-shaped object
inside the mesa?

Whatever it is has caused
another frustrating delay.

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

is more than twice as powerful

as the previous ones
we've had out here,

this break really made
us even more curious

about what could be
buried inside this mesa

that is so impenetrable.

Rotating right now. You
got any movement up there?

I don't see any movement here.

ALEX: Nah, it is not moving

in the pit here so it is broke

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

You can go ahead
and shut her down.

How many total feet
in are we, already?

ALEX: We're 130 feet.

And then, uh, so, you're

somewhere about
halfway up the mesa?

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

of that big boulder field there.

TRAVIS: How will
you get that out?

We'll have to pull the rods out,

see how many
rods in were broken,

dig to there...

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

Yeah.

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

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

to get back to drilling, then.

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

BRYANT: Every time we
think we're making progress

getting into this mesa,

something else happens
that stops us down

and delays the progress.

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

that's causing
all this to happen,

because the stories
that we've heard

coming out of this place,
whether it be underground bases

or an old alien craft
that was crashed

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

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

what we're actually
dealing with.

- Oh, lord.
- One more thing.

ERIK: Hey, guys.

TRAVIS: Later that afternoon,

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

Erik gathered us all
in the command center

to review his surveillance video

and all of Pete
Kelsey's processed data

from our laser experiment
last night at the triangle.

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

obviously, a
different vantage point

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

I've got some stuff
to share and then

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

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

and alerted you to
seeing something,

uh, descending over
the mesa to the north.

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

Yeah, and I've got a recording.

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

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

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

This was not subtle.

Notice here,

it emerges,

and, boy, is it bright.

TRAVIS: Man, it's bright.

And it's not a, uh...

- THOMAS: Wow.
- This is crazy.

It is not like an
asteroid, or...

I mean, or a comet
or a meteorite

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

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

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

And Thomas was
at the top of the mesa

with at least a minute to spare.

So, that really lends
support to your idea

that it may have been
only visible in the infrared.

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

ERIK: We're talking
about an object

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

Therefore, we might be dealing

with things in our
airspace over the ranch

that would normally
go undetected.

And this is descending
really slowly.

ERIK: Are we engaging with
something potentially exotic

or off-world or whatever
at Skinwalker Ranch?

ERIK: There, it's gone.

- It traveled behind the mesa.
- Wow.

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

curious about the other
things that you guys reported.

You were SLAM scanning.
Did anything happen

with the lidar device?

Yep, and...

well, I'll just show you.

So, Kaleb, you did

nine scans with the hover map.

Yeah, sounds about right.

This is one of them.

So, this was Kaleb's path

while walking with
the lidar scanner.

The lidar scan can see
fine details that would be

invisible to the naked
eye above ground.

But just wait.

You can see all this
data that's underground.

THOMAS: What?

PETE: And that
shouldn't be there.

That's physically impossible.

ERIK: Wow, I see it.

TRAVIS: All those
data points right there

think that they're underground.

That's impossible.

Lidar can't see
through the ground.

- ERIK: No.
- Oh, my God.

PETE: That's
impossible. This data

is 200 feet underground.

ERIK: That is crazy.

Lidar can't see
through the ground.

No.

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

PETE: is impossible.

TRAVIS: Infrared lidar
can visualize things in the air

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

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

amount of data points


at the triangle?

I want to isolate this data

that's 200 feet underground.

THOMAS: Oh, that
is much easier to see.

TRAVIS: What in the crap?

PETE: There is a ring of data.

TRAVIS: Yes, it
looks like a doughnut.

PETE: Yep.

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

because a year ago, you

found some
doughnut-like ring of data

- that you couldn't explain.
- Absolutely.

If you remember,

we had that weird
doughnut-shape anomaly.

TRAVIS: Doughnut-shape anomaly.

Absolutely.

In 2022...

- Whoa.
- What is that red circle?

TRAVIS: during a
lidar scan at the triangle,

Jim Royston detected
a circular red ring

with a void right
in the center of it.

And less than a month ago...

JIM: That's right
above the triangle.

- ERIK: Whoa.
- It looks like a dadgum

traversable Lorentzian wormhole.

In that same area, he detected

another circular anomaly
above the triangle.

But that one looked way
more three dimensional

and similar to what
Pete just got an image of

beneath the triangle last night.

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

a similar result
there at the triangle.

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

One showing us underground,
one showing us ground level,

and one in the air
above the triangle.

It's like we've taken
cross sections now

of a conical... anomaly

that's going down into

- the ground.
- Yeah.

TRAVIS: Many notable scientists
have been researching theories

for more than a century

that traversable
Lorentzian wormholes...

or portals... between
two distant points in time

and space could exist.

If you combined
the three data sets

that we've collected above
and below the triangle,

it looks very similar
to the structure

of a traversable wormhole,
according to these theories.

What's also
compelling about this

is that the triangle
is right where

we've detected energy spikes,

seen things blocking and
causing voids in lasers...

Look right here.

And even recorded videos

of UAP literally
disappearing in midair.

- And gone.
- Look at that.

It's still hard to believe,

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

So, all of this so far has been,

you know, obviously,
really interesting.

So, what other data did we see?

PETE: Well, I still have the...

laser scanning data to show you.

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

PETE: This is one

of the terrestrial
laser scans we did

from our perspective
at the triangle.

The terrestrial laser
scanner can see

farther and gather more points

per second than the
SLAM scanner can.

Okay.

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

TRAVIS: What in the actual crap?

That is insane.

What would account for
the sharp lines coming down?

PETE: I don't know what it is.

But there had to
be something there

for the lidar to detect it.

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

Can you zoom out further?

Look at that.

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

There is a similar anomaly
right at Homestead Two.

ERIK: Oh, wait,
that's the direction

from which the 1.6 was emerging.

That is where the 1.6 gigahertz
signal was coming from.

Can we rotate around?

ERIK: I'm seeing
the swirl marks.

TRAVIS: Yeah. Look at this.

What?

Look at this smear all around.

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

Can you look up?

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

TRAVIS: It is a cone.

ERIK: Wow.

I mean, that is insane.

You're inside it.

We're all inside it.

TRAVIS: It is a cone.

Wow.

PETE: This is a massive cone.

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

You're inside it.

We're all inside it.

PETE: It goes all the
way from Homestead Two

to the east field.

TRAVIS: You know,
I wonder how high

the apex is of this cone

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



Okay.

Just from eyeballing it,
from what I remember,

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

That's a good point.

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

This is the camera perspective
from the command center.

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

then the top of this
cone that we're in

matches to where that
laser beam stopped.

Yeah, yeah.

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

is absolutely unbelievable.

We were looking at
what appeared to be

a massive cone-shaped
anomaly that was

supported by two pillars.

One coming from Homestead Two

where we detected a 1.6
gigahertz frequency signal

and the other from
the east field canyon,

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

and energy phenomena occur.

And what was really
incredible is that the point

of this cone was sitting
right above the center

of the triangle at


the exact altitude where
the path of our laser beam

was being terminated
during the experiment.

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

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

[laughs] That's
right. Absolutely

This is incredible.

This is the craziest
thing I've ever seen.

If this turns out to be
real measurements

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

Then we've measured
something nobody's ever seen

before, period, ever.

Think about what
that would mean.

Yeah, that-that "if"...

is one really big "if."

Well, look, led by the data.

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

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

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

To process what
I've just been shown.

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

TRAVIS: Excellent work, man.

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

TRAVIS: We've heard
legends of structures

or spacecraft buried
in the mesa and even

crazy stories about portals

actually existing
here on the ranch.

All we can do is
objectively analyze

the data that we
collect out here.

And at this point,
the data seems

to be supporting these stories.

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

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

ERIK: This region of the
airspace above the triangle

continues to puzzle us.

We learn more each time
we conduct these experiments,

but I'm convinced new
questions are being raised

every single time.

We're gonna keep
coming back at this.

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

and perhaps even
below the ranch.

BRANDON: We are seeing
an incredible display of physics

that really defy
any current explanation

for what may be happening.

Are we dealing with portals?

Are we dealing with wormholes?

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

that we've been seeking
here at Skinwalker Ranch.
