travis:
My name is travis taylor.
3
00:00:13,055 --> 00:00:14,199
I'm an optical scientist,
4
00:00:14,223 --> 00:00:16,640
aerospace engineer
and astrophysicist
5
00:00:16,726 --> 00:00:20,310
who has worked on many
classified programs for nasa
6
00:00:20,396 --> 00:00:22,730
and the intelligence community
for over 30 years.
7
00:00:22,815 --> 00:00:26,525
One year ago, I was invited to
join a small team of scientists
8
00:00:26,610 --> 00:00:29,987
who were investigating a place
called skinwalker ranch.
9
00:00:30,031 --> 00:00:33,365
Now, all I knew was that
the ranch had been associated
10
00:00:33,409 --> 00:00:36,994
with some very strange
ufo activity over the years.
11
00:00:37,079 --> 00:00:39,455
There'd also been reports
of animal mutilations
12
00:00:39,540 --> 00:00:41,999
and other bizarre phenomena.
13
00:00:42,084 --> 00:00:45,669
I was open-minded
but fairly skeptical.
14
00:00:45,755 --> 00:00:47,963
But nothing could've prepared me
15
00:00:48,049 --> 00:00:50,924
for what my colleagues and I
were about to experience.
16
00:00:51,010 --> 00:00:53,677
Thomas: Do you see
the glow, the flicker?
17
00:00:53,763 --> 00:00:55,843
Yeah, the whole top
of the mountain is glowing.
18
00:00:55,890 --> 00:00:58,015
We were just exposed
to ionizing radiation.
19
00:00:58,100 --> 00:01:01,393
This looks like there's
something a thousand feet long.
20
00:01:02,480 --> 00:01:04,666
- We got something. Hold on.
- Thomas: Look, look, look!
21
00:01:04,690 --> 00:01:06,376
- Erik: What is that?
- Travis: It's gone.
22
00:01:06,400 --> 00:01:07,502
Segala:
Look at the cows.
23
00:01:07,526 --> 00:01:09,401
That is the strangest thing.
24
00:01:09,445 --> 00:01:11,590
Thomas:
There is something
going on out here.
25
00:01:11,614 --> 00:01:12,883
Travis:
There's no sign of struggle.
26
00:01:12,907 --> 00:01:14,156
It's just dead.
27
00:01:14,241 --> 00:01:15,824
The cow is right here.
28
00:01:15,910 --> 00:01:19,328
I can't help but also notice
there's something here.
29
00:01:22,083 --> 00:01:24,875
Travis:
Now I've been invited back.
30
00:01:24,960 --> 00:01:27,711
And this time, I've got a better
idea of what we're dealing with.
31
00:01:27,797 --> 00:01:30,464
And this year,
we're going to start
32
00:01:30,549 --> 00:01:33,383
finding the answers
to why this 512-acre
33
00:01:33,427 --> 00:01:35,552
stretch of land is
one of the strangest places
34
00:01:35,596 --> 00:01:37,930
on the planet earth.
35
00:01:38,015 --> 00:01:41,934
Narrator:
There is a ranch
in northern utah.
36
00:01:41,977 --> 00:01:44,436
It is considered the epicenter
37
00:01:44,480 --> 00:01:49,191
of the strangest and most
disturbing phenomena on earth:
38
00:01:49,276 --> 00:01:51,610
Animal mutilations,
39
00:01:51,654 --> 00:01:53,779
bizarre ufo sightings,
40
00:01:53,823 --> 00:01:59,118
and unusual energies that have
proven harmful to humans.
41
00:01:59,161 --> 00:02:02,204
For 20 years,
the federal government tried
42
00:02:02,289 --> 00:02:05,082
to find answers and failed.
43
00:02:05,167 --> 00:02:08,252
Now a new team
of dedicated scientists,
44
00:02:08,337 --> 00:02:13,132
researchers and experts
has taken over.
45
00:02:13,217 --> 00:02:17,136
They are determined to solve
the mystery and reveal...
46
00:02:19,515 --> 00:02:22,975
The secret of skinwalker ranch.
47
00:02:34,572 --> 00:02:36,822
We're approaching the ranch.
48
00:02:36,907 --> 00:02:38,782
All right.
49
00:02:38,868 --> 00:02:40,409
My name is brandon fugal,
50
00:02:40,494 --> 00:02:42,786
and I'm the owner
of skinwalker ranch.
51
00:02:42,872 --> 00:02:47,666
The ranch continues to surprise
and astound, I think, all of us
52
00:02:47,710 --> 00:02:49,918
that are involved
with this investigation.
53
00:02:50,004 --> 00:02:54,131
Dr. Lee, it's a privilege to
have you come out to the ranch
54
00:02:54,216 --> 00:02:58,927
and engage with the team,
uh, right here on-site.
55
00:02:59,013 --> 00:03:01,388
Yeah, this is
an incredible experience for me
56
00:03:01,473 --> 00:03:03,682
to be able
to visit the ranch and to
57
00:03:03,767 --> 00:03:05,684
see some of things
58
00:03:05,769 --> 00:03:07,622
that you've been involved with
over the last few years.
59
00:03:07,646 --> 00:03:09,563
Brandon:
After the repeated injuries
60
00:03:09,648 --> 00:03:12,357
with thomas winterton,
61
00:03:12,443 --> 00:03:16,278
and then dr. Taylor
having radiation injuries
62
00:03:16,363 --> 00:03:18,322
that remain unexplained,
63
00:03:18,407 --> 00:03:20,991
I thought it was important
that we bring in a professional
64
00:03:21,076 --> 00:03:23,869
that is not only credentialed
but someone that I trust.
65
00:03:23,954 --> 00:03:27,748
A good share of
dr. Lee's practice involves
66
00:03:27,833 --> 00:03:31,710
clinical research
into radiation oncology,
67
00:03:31,795 --> 00:03:35,547
and I've come to trust him
as not only a medical advisor
68
00:03:35,591 --> 00:03:38,300
but as someone
that doesn't screw around.
69
00:03:38,385 --> 00:03:41,553
Cameron: So, dr. Lee,
as we fly into the ranch here,
70
00:03:41,639 --> 00:03:43,283
just to the north
of these observation towers
71
00:03:43,307 --> 00:03:45,474
is skinwalker ridge.
72
00:03:46,685 --> 00:03:50,687
Many of the phenomena we've seen
have come from skinwalker ridge,
73
00:03:50,773 --> 00:03:53,190
so I try to be extra careful
as we fly over,
74
00:03:53,275 --> 00:03:55,943
uh, just to avoid
any electromechanical issues
75
00:03:56,028 --> 00:03:59,238
that could arise from...
From some of that phenomena.
76
00:03:59,323 --> 00:04:02,741
But I'll fly out here just...
Just south of it to be safe.
77
00:04:02,785 --> 00:04:04,493
Brandon:
We know that we're dealing
78
00:04:04,578 --> 00:04:07,079
with potentially dangerous
phenomenon.
79
00:04:07,164 --> 00:04:09,373
There are certain risks
associated
80
00:04:09,458 --> 00:04:12,000
with activity on the ranch, but
81
00:04:12,086 --> 00:04:14,920
I think it's time to take the
investigation to another level.
82
00:04:14,964 --> 00:04:18,423
I'm anxious to get some answers.
83
00:04:19,343 --> 00:04:21,468
Cameron:
Oh, here's the helipad.
84
00:04:21,553 --> 00:04:24,054
We're making
our final approach in here.
85
00:04:24,139 --> 00:04:26,576
Brandon:
It's a thrill
to have the whole team
86
00:04:26,600 --> 00:04:30,560
come back together in order
to continue the investigation.
87
00:04:30,646 --> 00:04:35,190
This is a multidisciplinary
team of professionals.
88
00:04:35,276 --> 00:04:38,735
People who bring to the table
not only scientific
89
00:04:38,779 --> 00:04:42,990
expertise but also
advanced technology experience.
90
00:04:43,075 --> 00:04:45,200
- Everybody's waiting to see you.
- Very good.
91
00:04:45,286 --> 00:04:47,577
- We're excited to have you back.
- It's good to be back.
92
00:04:47,663 --> 00:04:49,663
Remarkable things happened
this past year,
93
00:04:49,748 --> 00:04:53,083
and to build on that momentum,
to further understand
94
00:04:53,168 --> 00:04:56,253
the phenomena
and what is really at play
95
00:04:56,338 --> 00:04:58,422
on this unique piece of property
96
00:04:58,507 --> 00:04:59,631
is really exciting.
97
00:05:01,302 --> 00:05:03,719
Well, it's, uh, good
to see you back
98
00:05:03,804 --> 00:05:05,084
at skinwalker ranch, dr. Taylor.
99
00:05:05,139 --> 00:05:07,325
- Thank you.
- I'd like to introduce
all of you
100
00:05:07,349 --> 00:05:09,182
to dr. Chris lee.
101
00:05:09,268 --> 00:05:12,602
He's a nationally-recognized
radiation oncologist.
102
00:05:12,646 --> 00:05:16,440
Uh, having him as an outside
medical consultant is
103
00:05:16,525 --> 00:05:20,569
a vital part of establishing
the health and safety protocols
104
00:05:20,654 --> 00:05:22,654
here at skinwalker ranch.
105
00:05:22,740 --> 00:05:24,573
I appreciate meeting all of you.
106
00:05:24,658 --> 00:05:28,368
So, I know I'm a visitor today,
and, uh, this is my first time
107
00:05:28,454 --> 00:05:31,163
being here, but, uh,
I believe that safety is
108
00:05:31,248 --> 00:05:35,751
of utmost importance, and I do
think that it's critical to know
109
00:05:35,836 --> 00:05:37,480
exactly what to do,
when to do it,
110
00:05:37,504 --> 00:05:39,629
how to do it
and the proper methods, so...
111
00:05:39,715 --> 00:05:42,507
I've offered to brandon
I can lend my expertise
112
00:05:42,551 --> 00:05:45,010
with regard to safety
or radiation exposures,
113
00:05:45,054 --> 00:05:47,679
or if there's questions
regarding, um,
114
00:05:47,765 --> 00:05:49,806
some of
the electromagnetic phenomenon
115
00:05:49,892 --> 00:05:51,308
that they've been experiencing.
116
00:05:51,352 --> 00:05:55,729
I also would like to have dragon
117
00:05:55,814 --> 00:05:58,899
take on the added role
and responsibility
118
00:05:58,984 --> 00:06:01,985
of being the safety officer
at the ranch,
119
00:06:02,029 --> 00:06:05,822
in order to not only ensure
that everyone is kept
120
00:06:05,908 --> 00:06:09,201
healthy, but, uh,
really kept safe.
121
00:06:09,244 --> 00:06:10,869
I'm-I'm happy to do it.
122
00:06:10,913 --> 00:06:14,373
And we have kaleb
to be able to watch over
123
00:06:14,416 --> 00:06:17,167
the more day-to-day
security side of things.
124
00:06:17,252 --> 00:06:19,564
So that, you know, we can focus
on, you know, the investigation
125
00:06:19,588 --> 00:06:21,441
- and what we're doing as a team.
- Kaleb: Speaking of that,
126
00:06:21,465 --> 00:06:24,174
I do have some other issues
I got to go get taken care of,
127
00:06:24,218 --> 00:06:26,760
- so I'll leave you guys to it.
- We'll let you get to work.
128
00:06:26,845 --> 00:06:29,805
- Bryant: Thanks, kaleb.
- Thanks, kaleb.
129
00:06:29,890 --> 00:06:32,307
So next, travis,
130
00:06:32,393 --> 00:06:35,727
as you come out and,
uh, rejoin the effort,
131
00:06:35,771 --> 00:06:39,189
are you prepared for another
stint here at skinwalker ranch?
132
00:06:39,274 --> 00:06:41,775
Well, uh, what we saw last time
133
00:06:41,860 --> 00:06:44,444
was some extremely
unusual things
134
00:06:44,530 --> 00:06:46,947
that you can't explain
with modern physics,
135
00:06:47,032 --> 00:06:48,532
or at least we can't yet.
136
00:06:48,617 --> 00:06:51,326
And so, the opportunity
to come back out here
137
00:06:51,412 --> 00:06:54,204
and see if we can see
what it really is, is-is...
138
00:06:54,289 --> 00:06:56,540
It's exciting, and I appreciate
you inviting me back out.
139
00:06:56,583 --> 00:07:00,001
Well, it's been interesting
in that during the off-season,
140
00:07:00,087 --> 00:07:02,170
we've had no shortage
of incidents
141
00:07:02,256 --> 00:07:04,005
that have taken place.
142
00:07:04,091 --> 00:07:07,551
In fact, we've continued
to track and monitor events
143
00:07:07,594 --> 00:07:10,554
that have con-continued to occur
here on the property.
144
00:07:10,639 --> 00:07:12,409
Well, and hopefully
we can figure out something
145
00:07:12,433 --> 00:07:14,724
that will stimulate
these events to occur.
146
00:07:14,810 --> 00:07:18,812
If we can figure out
the switch that makes it happen,
147
00:07:18,897 --> 00:07:20,542
instead of it always being
sort of we-we got lucky
148
00:07:20,566 --> 00:07:23,692
and caught it this time,
then that would be huge.
149
00:07:23,777 --> 00:07:25,569
Brandon:
That's exciting.
150
00:07:25,654 --> 00:07:29,030
What would you propose
as far as experiments?
151
00:07:29,116 --> 00:07:31,616
Uh, I would actually like
152
00:07:31,660 --> 00:07:34,286
to look underneath
the surface of the ranch.
153
00:07:37,040 --> 00:07:38,680
Travis:
So, last year,
154
00:07:38,750 --> 00:07:40,687
there was this fear
of digging on the ranch.
155
00:07:40,711 --> 00:07:42,502
We should see what happens
156
00:07:42,588 --> 00:07:44,668
when we do something
like digging a hole.
157
00:07:45,799 --> 00:07:47,424
Bryant:
I know for a fact
158
00:07:47,509 --> 00:07:50,260
crap goes down when people
start disturbing the earth.
159
00:07:50,345 --> 00:07:54,556
I have to say unequivocally
say no digging.
160
00:07:54,641 --> 00:07:57,601
Travis:
So, as a result,
we didn't do much research
161
00:07:57,686 --> 00:08:00,353
into looking at what's
underneath the property.
162
00:08:00,439 --> 00:08:02,606
There have been
stories and legends
163
00:08:02,691 --> 00:08:05,317
of what might be underneath
the ground here, like
164
00:08:05,360 --> 00:08:08,403
ancient meteorites,
alien spacecraft
165
00:08:08,489 --> 00:08:10,322
and even underground bases.
166
00:08:10,407 --> 00:08:13,742
Perhaps this secret base
could be the source of
167
00:08:13,827 --> 00:08:17,037
all this weird transient energy
that we've been experiencing.
168
00:08:17,122 --> 00:08:18,683
I think if we're gonna
get to the bottom
169
00:08:18,707 --> 00:08:20,207
of what's going on here,
170
00:08:20,292 --> 00:08:23,460
we're gonna have to start
looking underneath the ground,
171
00:08:23,545 --> 00:08:26,838
and maybe that means we're gonna
have to start digging.
172
00:08:26,882 --> 00:08:29,216
Bryant:
Last time, we had travis out
173
00:08:29,301 --> 00:08:31,196
and stuff like that,
it was your mandate
174
00:08:31,220 --> 00:08:33,762
that there was not
to be any invasive digging.
175
00:08:33,847 --> 00:08:35,472
And so, you know,
176
00:08:35,557 --> 00:08:38,767
I took that seriously,
and in order to explore
177
00:08:38,852 --> 00:08:41,853
what travis is talking about
and, you know,
178
00:08:41,897 --> 00:08:44,189
the possibility of
something larger, you know,
179
00:08:44,274 --> 00:08:46,274
I will follow your lead.
180
00:08:46,360 --> 00:08:48,443
Yeah.
181
00:08:48,529 --> 00:08:52,322
Um, well, without digging,
182
00:08:52,407 --> 00:08:54,407
we could try looking
at photogrammetry,
183
00:08:54,451 --> 00:08:56,868
lidar, uh, scanning.
184
00:08:56,912 --> 00:09:00,664
Thomas:
Well, you know, as you guys
have been talking about this,
185
00:09:00,749 --> 00:09:03,124
just to the west
of homestead two
186
00:09:03,210 --> 00:09:08,213
is a fairly significant
hole of size,
187
00:09:08,298 --> 00:09:10,590
big enough you could
probably put a car in.
188
00:09:10,676 --> 00:09:12,133
But it's been
189
00:09:12,219 --> 00:09:14,344
filled up with trees
and branches,
190
00:09:14,429 --> 00:09:15,929
and you can't see down into it.
191
00:09:15,973 --> 00:09:20,058
You can't tell how deep it is
or-or how far down it goes.
192
00:09:20,102 --> 00:09:21,579
And so, you know,
one of the days
193
00:09:21,603 --> 00:09:24,003
I was irrigating, I thought,
you know, just out of curiosity,
194
00:09:24,064 --> 00:09:25,542
I'm gonna divert
some of the water
195
00:09:25,566 --> 00:09:28,358
down into that hole and see
how long it takes to fill it up.
196
00:09:28,443 --> 00:09:30,986
It took about
three and a half hours
197
00:09:31,071 --> 00:09:32,423
to fill this thing up
to the top.
198
00:09:32,447 --> 00:09:34,072
Now, the interesting thing was,
199
00:09:34,157 --> 00:09:36,658
is that after taking
three hours to fill it up,
200
00:09:36,743 --> 00:09:39,536
the water disappeared
out of sight within 15 minutes.
201
00:09:39,621 --> 00:09:41,221
Travis:
Oh, wow.
202
00:09:41,248 --> 00:09:43,498
- (others murmuring)
- that's unbelievable.
203
00:09:43,584 --> 00:09:45,728
Thomas:
I thought that water would be
sitting there for weeks.
204
00:09:45,752 --> 00:09:49,838
And so, you know, I think
it would be interesting to
205
00:09:49,923 --> 00:09:53,216
take and fill that back up again
and see if maybe we can trace
206
00:09:53,302 --> 00:09:54,884
where that water is going.
207
00:09:54,970 --> 00:09:57,095
Travis:
That's a good idea.
208
00:09:57,139 --> 00:09:58,700
You know,
the ground-penetrating radar
209
00:09:58,724 --> 00:10:00,974
did show some strange anomalies
at depth there.
210
00:10:01,059 --> 00:10:04,144
Last year, we did
ground-penetrating radar,
211
00:10:04,229 --> 00:10:05,623
and we found
some weird anomalies
212
00:10:05,647 --> 00:10:07,230
right in the middle of the road
213
00:10:07,316 --> 00:10:09,941
right in front of homestead two
and right in front of that pit.
214
00:10:10,027 --> 00:10:14,696
We found some dome features
anywhere from eight to 25 feet.
215
00:10:14,781 --> 00:10:17,157
Almost looked as though
there was the top
216
00:10:17,242 --> 00:10:19,326
of a tunnel
and the base of a tunnel...
217
00:10:19,411 --> 00:10:20,577
Oh, a tunnel.
218
00:10:22,414 --> 00:10:23,975
Where there's smoke,
there's fire.
219
00:10:23,999 --> 00:10:26,082
Yeah, I'm really
liking this idea.
220
00:10:26,168 --> 00:10:28,271
I think we can get a lot
of information out of it
221
00:10:28,295 --> 00:10:30,462
if we do this
in the right order.
222
00:10:30,505 --> 00:10:34,174
And putting some water in there,
we can follow that with some dye
223
00:10:34,259 --> 00:10:36,885
and perhaps trace the flow
of that water
224
00:10:36,970 --> 00:10:39,050
and see if it emerges
somewhere else on the property,
225
00:10:39,097 --> 00:10:41,139
perhaps even in the creek
out there.
226
00:10:41,183 --> 00:10:43,767
- Oh, nice.
- Brandon: That's exciting.
227
00:10:43,852 --> 00:10:46,519
I'd like to get to the bottom
of whether there really is
228
00:10:46,605 --> 00:10:48,333
a cave system
beneath this ranch.
229
00:10:48,357 --> 00:10:50,317
We can address this
right now, then.
230
00:10:50,359 --> 00:10:52,442
I mean, I think
these are great ideas.
231
00:10:52,486 --> 00:10:54,326
And, you know,
if it comes to the point
232
00:10:54,404 --> 00:10:57,947
where you are curious about,
you know, seeing what's deeper,
233
00:10:58,033 --> 00:10:59,802
if we can't get
satisfactory answers
234
00:10:59,826 --> 00:11:01,743
by the noninvasive stuff,
235
00:11:01,828 --> 00:11:04,621
then, you know, we'll have to
open up that area of discussion
236
00:11:04,706 --> 00:11:08,291
when it comes to d-digging
and disturbing the earth again.
237
00:11:08,377 --> 00:11:09,520
I'll look forward
to your guidance.
238
00:11:09,544 --> 00:11:12,128
Well, thank you all
for coming together.
239
00:11:12,214 --> 00:11:14,923
Uh, dr. Lee and I
have to, uh, depart.
240
00:11:15,008 --> 00:11:16,986
- Jim: You bet. Thank you.
- Thank you.
- Kandus: Thanks, brandon.
241
00:11:17,010 --> 00:11:18,488
Travis:
I'm real excited.
242
00:11:18,512 --> 00:11:20,970
There have been
so many stories about
243
00:11:21,056 --> 00:11:22,867
there being something
underground here
244
00:11:22,891 --> 00:11:24,182
at skinwalker ranch.
245
00:11:25,394 --> 00:11:28,728
This hole may be the answer.
246
00:11:28,814 --> 00:11:31,439
Hopefully, if something happens,
we'll get some data for it.
247
00:11:32,484 --> 00:11:33,608
Well, that's it.
248
00:11:33,694 --> 00:11:41,694
I guess we better get to work.
249
00:11:43,954 --> 00:11:45,807
This-this is the hole
you were talking about?
250
00:11:45,831 --> 00:11:46,746
Yeah.
251
00:11:46,832 --> 00:11:49,207
How deep do you think it is?
252
00:11:49,292 --> 00:11:51,209
Well, I'm not sure.
253
00:11:51,253 --> 00:11:53,712
Travis:
Don't know how-how much
that stuff's piled up on there.
254
00:11:53,797 --> 00:11:56,423
Thomas:
There's this hole
over at homestead two.
255
00:11:56,508 --> 00:11:59,426
It's filled with brush
and trees and debris,
256
00:11:59,511 --> 00:12:00,511
and I've observed
257
00:12:00,595 --> 00:12:03,138
water disappearing in
very rapidly.
258
00:12:03,223 --> 00:12:05,265
And the water's
got to be going somewhere,
259
00:12:05,350 --> 00:12:06,725
especially when I look around
260
00:12:06,768 --> 00:12:08,688
and all I see is
clay everywhere.
261
00:12:08,729 --> 00:12:11,229
Clay just doesn't allow
water to seep in.
262
00:12:11,314 --> 00:12:14,023
I can't help but wonder
if it's not an opening
263
00:12:14,109 --> 00:12:16,234
or some kind of tunnel
264
00:12:16,319 --> 00:12:18,361
that this water
is escaping into.
265
00:12:18,405 --> 00:12:20,739
You know, I've tried
to poke down in there.
266
00:12:20,782 --> 00:12:22,385
It-it feels like
it could go down further,
267
00:12:22,409 --> 00:12:23,908
but I just don't know.
268
00:12:23,952 --> 00:12:25,744
I know it took a long time
to fill up.
269
00:12:25,829 --> 00:12:28,037
- How 'bout that.
- But then only took about
270
00:12:28,081 --> 00:12:29,601
- 20 minutes to drain, right?
- Yeah.
271
00:12:29,666 --> 00:12:31,561
- About 15 minutes.
- Now, that tells you
there's something.
272
00:12:31,585 --> 00:12:34,794
- There's a hole or something
under it, right?
- Yeah.
273
00:12:34,880 --> 00:12:37,255
If all that water
that thomas dumped in this pit
274
00:12:37,340 --> 00:12:39,966
is not reappearing
somewhere else on the ranch,
275
00:12:40,051 --> 00:12:43,261
then there has to be a massive
void of some kind below it.
276
00:12:43,305 --> 00:12:45,430
Nothing else
would really explain it.
277
00:12:45,474 --> 00:12:48,725
The question is whether or not
it's a natural void,
278
00:12:48,810 --> 00:12:51,102
and that's what we're going
to find out.
279
00:12:51,188 --> 00:12:53,291
- So...
- What... so what I need
to do to help?
280
00:12:53,315 --> 00:12:56,399
Well, we're just getting
this ditch opened up right here.
281
00:12:56,443 --> 00:12:58,359
Bryant:
Just diverting the stream.
282
00:12:58,445 --> 00:12:59,756
Thomas:
So, a couple feet away
283
00:12:59,780 --> 00:13:00,945
from this pit is
284
00:13:00,989 --> 00:13:02,447
a little irrigation ditch
285
00:13:02,532 --> 00:13:04,824
that takes the water out
to the field.
286
00:13:04,910 --> 00:13:07,285
So we're gonna dig a channel
from this ditch
287
00:13:07,370 --> 00:13:09,621
and divert the water
from going to the field
288
00:13:09,664 --> 00:13:12,665
and instead running
into this sinkhole.
289
00:13:13,752 --> 00:13:16,961
- Gah! Come on, dragon!
- Sorry, man. Sorry.
290
00:13:18,006 --> 00:13:19,358
Travis:
That's easy...
291
00:13:19,382 --> 00:13:21,257
Ten gallons a minute.
292
00:13:21,301 --> 00:13:25,094
Well, that's about triple the
rate that I had the first time.
293
00:13:25,180 --> 00:13:26,471
Easy ten gallons a minute.
294
00:13:26,515 --> 00:13:28,598
Man, I wish I had a five-gallon
bucket and a clock.
295
00:13:28,683 --> 00:13:29,827
Thomas:
I actually think
296
00:13:29,851 --> 00:13:32,101
I may have a five-gallon bucket
over there.
297
00:13:32,145 --> 00:13:34,145
Let me go see if I can find one.
298
00:13:34,231 --> 00:13:36,000
Travis:
I want to measure
just how much water
299
00:13:36,024 --> 00:13:37,524
we're dumping in this pit.
300
00:13:37,609 --> 00:13:40,318
So, with a five-gallon bucket
and a stopwatch...
301
00:13:40,403 --> 00:13:41,820
Oh, hey. Here we go.
302
00:13:41,863 --> 00:13:44,739
I'll calculate how long
it takes to fill it up.
303
00:13:44,825 --> 00:13:46,427
All right,
I'm ready when you are.
304
00:13:46,451 --> 00:13:48,493
Three, two, one, go.
305
00:13:50,372 --> 00:13:53,456
So, that's about four gallons
in two seconds.
306
00:13:53,500 --> 00:13:55,041
120 gallons a minute.
307
00:13:55,126 --> 00:13:57,335
Thomas:
Even as fast as that's going in,
308
00:13:57,379 --> 00:14:00,004
I'm-I'm still shocked
it's not coming up faster.
309
00:14:00,048 --> 00:14:01,965
Travis:
Right.
310
00:14:02,008 --> 00:14:03,569
And at this rate,
it's gonna be filled up
311
00:14:03,593 --> 00:14:04,946
before I can get down there
and back.
312
00:14:04,970 --> 00:14:07,262
So I'm gonna go get erik
and the rest of the people
313
00:14:07,347 --> 00:14:09,138
and the... and that dye.
314
00:14:09,182 --> 00:14:10,535
- 'kay.
- All right? I'll be right back.
315
00:14:10,559 --> 00:14:12,517
- 'kay.
- Sounds good.
316
00:14:12,561 --> 00:14:14,519
Man, y'all don't
go swimming in that.
317
00:14:14,563 --> 00:14:16,523
Ain't no telling
what's at the bottom of it.
318
00:14:16,565 --> 00:14:18,042
- (chuckles)
- we're not from alabama.
319
00:14:18,066 --> 00:14:19,357
Ha!
320
00:14:21,069 --> 00:14:23,486
We're bringing the whole team
out to the sinkhole,
321
00:14:23,530 --> 00:14:25,216
so we'll have more eyes
to look around
322
00:14:25,240 --> 00:14:26,384
in case something happens.
323
00:14:26,408 --> 00:14:28,032
Our plan is to use
324
00:14:28,118 --> 00:14:31,202
a green dye as a tracker dye.
325
00:14:31,246 --> 00:14:32,745
Perfectly safe.
326
00:14:32,831 --> 00:14:34,330
It's environmentally friendly.
327
00:14:34,416 --> 00:14:35,707
So it's not gonna hurt anything.
328
00:14:35,792 --> 00:14:37,375
And you pour it in the water
329
00:14:37,419 --> 00:14:39,397
and you watch for it
to come out somewhere,
330
00:14:39,421 --> 00:14:40,982
and you'll know
that that's the pathway
331
00:14:41,006 --> 00:14:43,172
that the water is taking.
332
00:14:43,258 --> 00:14:45,633
Look what the cat
dragged in, guys.
333
00:14:45,719 --> 00:14:47,385
Bryant:
What's up, casey?
334
00:14:47,429 --> 00:14:48,803
Welcome back, man.
335
00:14:48,889 --> 00:14:50,241
Casey:
I'm casey smith.
336
00:14:50,265 --> 00:14:52,348
I work for qual-tek associates.
337
00:14:52,392 --> 00:14:53,683
I have a degree in geology,
338
00:14:53,727 --> 00:14:56,519
particularly hydrology,
so it's groundwater.
339
00:14:56,605 --> 00:14:57,437
And so they wanted
to bring me in
340
00:14:57,522 --> 00:14:58,541
to help with the tracer test.
341
00:14:58,565 --> 00:14:59,750
So, you guys ready
to put this in?
342
00:14:59,774 --> 00:15:00,960
Yeah, I'd say
we need to pour it in.
343
00:15:00,984 --> 00:15:02,128
- Where do you want it?
- Dump it in.
344
00:15:02,152 --> 00:15:03,838
- All right.
- Travis: Watch this stuff.
345
00:15:03,862 --> 00:15:06,424
- It's-it's cool when-when
it hits... look at that.
- Kandus: Oh, wow.
346
00:15:06,448 --> 00:15:08,467
- Travis: Is that not awesome?
- Kandus: Not what I expected.
347
00:15:08,491 --> 00:15:10,761
- Casey: It's like
the ninja turtles.
- Travis: Oh, yeah!
348
00:15:10,785 --> 00:15:12,388
-Secret of the...
Secret of the ooze here.
-Yeah, yeah. Yeah.
349
00:15:12,412 --> 00:15:13,723
- Yeah.
- Kaleb: Yeah.
350
00:15:13,747 --> 00:15:15,830
As this mixes, it may take a...
351
00:15:15,916 --> 00:15:17,518
You know, a little while
for it to go.
352
00:15:17,542 --> 00:15:20,376
Here's what I think
what we should do is
353
00:15:20,462 --> 00:15:23,046
just stop it complete, as close
to completely as we can.
354
00:15:23,840 --> 00:15:25,423
The next thing we need to do
355
00:15:25,467 --> 00:15:27,675
is dam up our flow of water
into the pit
356
00:15:27,761 --> 00:15:30,219
so the dye can drain out.
357
00:15:30,305 --> 00:15:32,263
Then we can all go check to see
358
00:15:32,349 --> 00:15:34,201
if it emerges anywhere else
on the ranch.
359
00:15:34,225 --> 00:15:36,643
If not, then there's
only one place to look:
360
00:15:36,728 --> 00:15:39,604
Deep below this pit.
361
00:15:39,648 --> 00:15:41,792
-They got it blocked off.
It's gonna start draining.
-Ready.
362
00:15:41,816 --> 00:15:43,461
But we need to divide
and conquer here.
363
00:15:43,485 --> 00:15:46,194
We need to all pick
some-some spaces.
364
00:15:46,279 --> 00:15:47,965
I think, like,
me and you and, uh, thomas,
365
00:15:47,989 --> 00:15:49,926
we can handle whatever
we got to do here, right?
366
00:15:49,950 --> 00:15:51,928
- Erik, what do you want to do?
- Well, I think we should head
367
00:15:51,952 --> 00:15:55,119
to the south,
down to the, uh, the big creek.
368
00:15:55,163 --> 00:15:56,933
I'll take tom and kandus,
and we'll go hit
369
00:15:56,957 --> 00:15:59,165
- this middle section right here.
- Okay.
370
00:15:59,250 --> 00:16:00,810
- Sure.
- Travis: Hey, guys.
371
00:16:00,835 --> 00:16:02,085
It's already dropped a foot
372
00:16:02,170 --> 00:16:05,129
since we-we just stopped.
373
00:16:05,173 --> 00:16:07,360
I mean, I set these bottles
right at the edge of the water.
374
00:16:07,384 --> 00:16:09,968
So it's draining quickly.
You guys need to get out there
375
00:16:10,011 --> 00:16:11,781
and start looking
for this stuff, all right?
376
00:16:11,805 --> 00:16:14,138
Sounds good.
We'll get out of here.
377
00:16:20,480 --> 00:16:22,689
Cico:
Nice.
378
00:16:22,774 --> 00:16:25,252
Bryant:
I was really fortunate
that my friend cico was able
379
00:16:25,276 --> 00:16:26,609
to join erik and I.
380
00:16:26,695 --> 00:16:28,444
He's a drone operator,
381
00:16:28,488 --> 00:16:30,341
so that we could cover
way more ground
382
00:16:30,365 --> 00:16:31,990
and be able to, you know,
383
00:16:32,075 --> 00:16:34,826
hopefully see if there was
any dye coming out.
384
00:16:34,911 --> 00:16:36,869
We went to one part
385
00:16:36,955 --> 00:16:40,331
where we thought
it may come out into the river.
386
00:16:40,417 --> 00:16:42,625
If we find the dye
coming out in the river
387
00:16:42,711 --> 00:16:44,794
or in the field somewhere,
you know what,
388
00:16:44,879 --> 00:16:47,079
that's an answer, so we have
an answer to questions.
389
00:16:48,842 --> 00:16:50,027
Cico:
This the spot?
390
00:16:50,051 --> 00:16:51,843
Yeah, this is it.
391
00:16:51,928 --> 00:16:53,886
Now, if we don't find it,
then, you know,
392
00:16:53,972 --> 00:16:55,972
it's gonna warrant
further investigation.
393
00:16:56,016 --> 00:17:00,184
So, I think if we land
right in about this area,
394
00:17:00,228 --> 00:17:03,021
you can probably get
drone footage...
395
00:17:03,064 --> 00:17:04,583
- Oh, cool.
- Up and around.
396
00:17:04,607 --> 00:17:06,733
Plus, we can see
with our physical eyes
397
00:17:06,818 --> 00:17:08,170
- the water coming down here.
- All right.
398
00:17:08,194 --> 00:17:09,922
- Should we throw it up?
- Yeah, put it up.
399
00:17:09,946 --> 00:17:11,549
I'm anxious
to see you fly this thing.
400
00:17:11,573 --> 00:17:12,697
See what happens.
401
00:17:21,041 --> 00:17:23,708
You just tell me
which way you want me to go.
402
00:17:23,793 --> 00:17:25,396
Yeah, the homesteads are off
in that direction.
403
00:17:25,420 --> 00:17:27,211
- Okay.
- So...
404
00:17:27,255 --> 00:17:29,066
Cico:
We'll just follow
the river down that way.
405
00:17:29,090 --> 00:17:31,444
Bryant:
I mean, you can follow
the river back up.
406
00:17:31,468 --> 00:17:33,885
Cico:
If you see any discolorations,
just shout it out.
407
00:17:38,266 --> 00:17:40,808
So, let's just follow
this water channel.
408
00:17:40,894 --> 00:17:42,079
There's a good trail
through here,
409
00:17:42,103 --> 00:17:43,497
and we'll just go
all the way down
410
00:17:43,521 --> 00:17:44,937
and see if we can find that dye.
411
00:17:45,023 --> 00:17:46,783
- Tom: Okay.
- Kandus: All right.
412
00:17:46,983 --> 00:17:48,544
Kaleb: I personally thought
that the water,
413
00:17:48,568 --> 00:17:50,651
if it might come up anywhere,
would be
414
00:17:50,737 --> 00:17:52,987
one of the areas that
I've been able to go through
415
00:17:53,073 --> 00:17:55,156
doing a lot of my patrols.
416
00:17:55,241 --> 00:17:57,742
There's areas of the ground
that are very wet.
417
00:17:57,827 --> 00:17:59,346
I've gone through there
where there's been
418
00:17:59,370 --> 00:18:01,265
about a foot of water
in some areas.
419
00:18:01,289 --> 00:18:05,958
And it's just random
on where that water's coming up.
420
00:18:06,044 --> 00:18:09,378
Travis, you got me? It's kaleb.
421
00:18:09,464 --> 00:18:11,275
Travis (over walkie-talkie):
Yeah, man. What's going on?
422
00:18:11,299 --> 00:18:13,299
We're just down
in the southwest corner.
423
00:18:13,384 --> 00:18:14,884
Gets pretty marshy through here,
424
00:18:14,969 --> 00:18:17,553
so maybe it's coming up
here somewhere.
425
00:18:17,597 --> 00:18:20,389
Travis: Well, most of the
water's drained out of the hole,
426
00:18:20,475 --> 00:18:21,933
so it went somewhere.
427
00:18:21,976 --> 00:18:22,995
Just keep looking.
428
00:18:23,019 --> 00:18:24,227
Will do. Out.
429
00:18:25,105 --> 00:18:27,355
That's a lot of water
that went away.
430
00:18:27,440 --> 00:18:29,107
Yeah.
431
00:18:29,150 --> 00:18:31,109
We put 45,000 gallons of water
432
00:18:31,152 --> 00:18:33,611
into this hole.
433
00:18:33,696 --> 00:18:37,615
And at least 80% of it
was gone within an hour.
434
00:18:37,700 --> 00:18:39,678
You know, there's no telling
where this is gonna run out.
435
00:18:39,702 --> 00:18:41,744
To me, that looks downhill.
436
00:18:41,830 --> 00:18:45,581
You know, appearance,
yes, we think that's downhill.
437
00:18:45,667 --> 00:18:47,500
But what we don't see is,
you know,
438
00:18:47,585 --> 00:18:48,729
what's underneath us, right?
439
00:18:48,753 --> 00:18:50,606
We could have a bed layer
that's, you know,
440
00:18:50,630 --> 00:18:52,922
sloping back towards the mesa.
441
00:18:53,007 --> 00:18:55,007
So, that actually
could be downhill
442
00:18:55,093 --> 00:18:56,717
- for this water?
- Yeah.
443
00:18:56,803 --> 00:18:58,739
Thomas:
You know, where we drilled
is just right...
444
00:18:58,763 --> 00:19:00,179
Like, what, 20 feet right there?
445
00:19:00,265 --> 00:19:02,098
- Yeah.
- Travis: Last summer...
446
00:19:02,183 --> 00:19:04,517
Let's take a look
at the data here.
447
00:19:04,602 --> 00:19:06,811
After we used
the ground-penetrating radar
448
00:19:06,855 --> 00:19:08,187
in front of homestead two
449
00:19:08,273 --> 00:19:11,315
and detected those strange
tunnel-like anomalies,
450
00:19:11,359 --> 00:19:13,151
we all agreed to drill a hole
451
00:19:13,236 --> 00:19:15,256
to see what the heck
those anomalies were.
452
00:19:15,280 --> 00:19:17,822
(mechanical rattling)
453
00:19:17,866 --> 00:19:19,066
that whole thing's shaking.
454
00:19:20,034 --> 00:19:21,659
What is our depth?
455
00:19:21,703 --> 00:19:23,327
We're right now at about 17.
456
00:19:23,413 --> 00:19:24,495
I think that's right
457
00:19:24,581 --> 00:19:26,664
in the range
where we were getting that ping.
458
00:19:26,708 --> 00:19:28,291
Yeah, I think you're right.
459
00:19:29,043 --> 00:19:31,210
Are you getting something?
460
00:19:31,296 --> 00:19:32,296
No.
461
00:19:32,338 --> 00:19:34,297
- Just normal background?
- Yeah.
462
00:19:34,382 --> 00:19:36,068
We didn't find anything
by drilling.
463
00:19:36,092 --> 00:19:37,842
But now it's strange
464
00:19:37,886 --> 00:19:40,678
that all this water's
draining down somewhere
465
00:19:40,722 --> 00:19:43,097
right next to where we found
those anomalies.
466
00:19:43,183 --> 00:19:45,892
I say the first place
to look is in that hole.
467
00:19:45,977 --> 00:19:47,329
We ought to run something
down in there
468
00:19:47,353 --> 00:19:49,478
and see if any of this
green stuff is getting into it.
469
00:19:49,522 --> 00:19:50,708
Thomas:
I think we should.
470
00:19:50,732 --> 00:19:51,981
All right. Let's try that.
471
00:19:53,568 --> 00:19:54,984
Here's the hole.
472
00:19:55,862 --> 00:19:57,987
I think we can probably see
down in there.
473
00:19:58,031 --> 00:20:00,198
Oh, look. You can see
the water down here.
474
00:20:00,241 --> 00:20:02,200
- Thomas: See any green?
- I can't tell.
475
00:20:02,243 --> 00:20:04,555
Let's see how deep it is.
See if we can get one of those...
476
00:20:04,579 --> 00:20:06,370
Get the pipes down in there.
477
00:20:06,414 --> 00:20:08,017
See if you get
some green water on it.
478
00:20:08,041 --> 00:20:09,268
Thomas:
I think we should.
479
00:20:09,292 --> 00:20:11,042
Yeah. (grunts)
480
00:20:16,049 --> 00:20:18,382
oh. I'm in mud.
481
00:20:18,426 --> 00:20:20,718
Here, hold on.
I'll put a top on it.
482
00:20:20,762 --> 00:20:21,802
(crackling)
483
00:20:21,888 --> 00:20:23,179
pull it up quick.
484
00:20:25,099 --> 00:20:28,392
Travis: Well, I don't see
any green water.
485
00:20:28,436 --> 00:20:30,394
Thomas:
No, looks pretty clear.
486
00:20:31,356 --> 00:20:33,689
Travis:
You'd think
we'd find the dyed water
487
00:20:33,775 --> 00:20:36,275
in the hole closest
to where we had diverted it,
488
00:20:36,361 --> 00:20:37,379
but it's not there.
489
00:20:37,403 --> 00:20:38,881
Where in the heck
did all that water
490
00:20:38,905 --> 00:20:40,404
that we pumped into the hole go?
491
00:20:40,490 --> 00:20:43,050
- Thomas: I don't think
there's any green in there.
- Yeah.
492
00:20:48,373 --> 00:20:50,206
- Broke right off.
- Well,
493
00:20:50,291 --> 00:20:53,334
- I don't think there's
any green in there.
- Yeah.
494
00:20:53,419 --> 00:20:56,587
We pumped about 45,000 gallons
of dyed water
495
00:20:56,673 --> 00:20:57,880
down into this hole,
496
00:20:57,966 --> 00:21:00,174
and now it's just gone.
497
00:21:00,260 --> 00:21:02,404
Let's go look in the cistern
to see if there might be
498
00:21:02,428 --> 00:21:05,096
- the green dye leached into it.
- Okay.
499
00:21:05,139 --> 00:21:07,014
Travis:
So, the next logical place
500
00:21:07,100 --> 00:21:09,119
that thomas and casey and I
are going to check
501
00:21:09,143 --> 00:21:12,144
is the old cistern
behind homestead two.
502
00:21:12,230 --> 00:21:14,146
Thomas:
You got your flashlight, right?
503
00:21:14,232 --> 00:21:15,832
Travis:
Yeah, I got it.
504
00:21:16,985 --> 00:21:18,943
Kaleb:
Just come right through here.
505
00:21:21,614 --> 00:21:23,698
The thicket
that I wanted to go through,
506
00:21:23,783 --> 00:21:25,449
it's very dense.
507
00:21:26,911 --> 00:21:28,347
You almost need to have
some kind
508
00:21:28,371 --> 00:21:31,289
of tool to get through there,
like a machete or an ax
509
00:21:31,332 --> 00:21:33,102
to get through
some of those branches.
510
00:21:33,126 --> 00:21:35,046
Here's some water,
down right here.
511
00:21:36,045 --> 00:21:36,961
(kandus exhales)
512
00:21:37,046 --> 00:21:39,380
- do you see any dye?
- No, no dye.
513
00:21:39,465 --> 00:21:41,299
It's curious.
514
00:21:41,342 --> 00:21:44,135
Uh, we still don't know
where this water's going.
515
00:21:44,178 --> 00:21:46,470
Let's head back out.
516
00:21:48,391 --> 00:21:50,308
Cico:
We're about 450 feet out
517
00:21:50,393 --> 00:21:52,162
from where we started.
You can see the bottom.
518
00:21:52,186 --> 00:21:53,998
- Right. That's cool.
- The map. The... What...
519
00:21:54,022 --> 00:21:55,438
The terrain we're tracing.
520
00:21:55,481 --> 00:21:57,398
Bryant:
We've spent a lot of time
521
00:21:57,483 --> 00:22:00,151
looking for this fluorescent
green dye to show up,
522
00:22:00,236 --> 00:22:02,903
and as of yet, we haven't found
any traces of it.
523
00:22:02,989 --> 00:22:05,448
Cico:
If somebody'd
keep an eye on the water.
524
00:22:05,533 --> 00:22:07,783
Looks like normal water so far.
525
00:22:07,869 --> 00:22:10,514
Bryant:
I'd be shocked if we were
able to see something
526
00:22:10,538 --> 00:22:12,913
at this point,
as much as it would be diluted.
527
00:22:12,999 --> 00:22:14,519
- Sure.
- Sure.
528
00:22:19,881 --> 00:22:21,630
Travis:
This place just has
529
00:22:21,716 --> 00:22:23,049
a specific smell to me.
530
00:22:23,134 --> 00:22:25,593
I don't know if it does
to y'all or not, but I smell it.
531
00:22:25,678 --> 00:22:27,470
Homestead two's not only
532
00:22:27,555 --> 00:22:30,514
one of the creepiest-looking
places on the ranch
533
00:22:30,600 --> 00:22:33,642
but it's also where
a lot of strange phenomena
534
00:22:33,728 --> 00:22:35,019
and events have occurred.
535
00:22:35,063 --> 00:22:37,646
People have heard creepy voices.
536
00:22:37,732 --> 00:22:39,982
They've had lost time events.
537
00:22:40,068 --> 00:22:44,236
And robert bigelow's team
actually claimed that they saw
538
00:22:44,322 --> 00:22:46,322
a portal open up
by homestead two
539
00:22:46,407 --> 00:22:48,032
and a creature crawl out of it.
540
00:22:48,117 --> 00:22:50,826
And I've had my own
weird experiences here, too.
541
00:22:50,870 --> 00:22:53,871
Right around the corner,
this is where
542
00:22:53,956 --> 00:22:55,206
the radiation event happened.
543
00:22:55,291 --> 00:22:56,499
Last summer,
544
00:22:56,584 --> 00:22:59,210
I had symptoms
of radiation sickness.
545
00:23:01,756 --> 00:23:03,047
It's filled with something.
546
00:23:03,132 --> 00:23:05,007
I feel, like, a... I don't know.
547
00:23:05,093 --> 00:23:07,385
I got a little bit of a headache
or something happening.
548
00:23:07,428 --> 00:23:09,387
- (beeping)
- My dosimeter went off.
549
00:23:09,430 --> 00:23:11,347
Holy cr... Mine's beeping.
550
00:23:11,432 --> 00:23:14,725
I had radiation sickness,
flu-like symptoms for a week,
551
00:23:14,811 --> 00:23:18,729
and I had burns
and rashes appear.
552
00:23:19,732 --> 00:23:21,065
I'll move it this time.
553
00:23:21,109 --> 00:23:23,029
- How about that?
- All right, all right.
554
00:23:28,074 --> 00:23:29,740
The water's really clear.
555
00:23:29,784 --> 00:23:32,326
- I can see... Wow, look at that.
- Casey: It's super clear.
556
00:23:32,412 --> 00:23:34,098
Thomas:
So, I guess
you don't see any green.
557
00:23:34,122 --> 00:23:35,746
Travis:
No, I don't.
558
00:23:36,624 --> 00:23:38,499
Casey:
So, the dose readings in here
559
00:23:38,584 --> 00:23:40,437
have actually dropped,
so we're getting some shielding
560
00:23:40,461 --> 00:23:41,752
from the concrete, probably.
561
00:23:41,838 --> 00:23:43,212
Uh, but it's actually lower
562
00:23:43,297 --> 00:23:45,089
- in here.
- Travis: Okay. All right.
563
00:23:45,133 --> 00:23:47,373
Bryant (over walkie-talkie):
Hey, travis. You copy?
564
00:23:48,970 --> 00:23:51,262
Yeah, dragon. What's going on?
565
00:23:51,305 --> 00:23:53,222
Unfortunately, really nothing.
566
00:23:53,266 --> 00:23:55,182
We've run the drone.
567
00:23:55,268 --> 00:23:57,977
We really don't see
anything yet.
568
00:23:58,062 --> 00:24:00,229
Travis:
Well, that's interesting. Uh,
569
00:24:00,273 --> 00:24:03,607
we haven't found anything yet
here around, uh, homestead two.
570
00:24:03,693 --> 00:24:06,360
I wonder if kaleb has seen
anything where they are.
571
00:24:06,446 --> 00:24:09,447
Okay, well, I think we're gonna
head back to the command center.
572
00:24:09,490 --> 00:24:11,677
So, when you guys are ready,
you can meet us back there,
573
00:24:11,701 --> 00:24:13,512
and we'll powwow
and formulate a plan.
574
00:24:13,536 --> 00:24:14,972
Travis:
All right, that sounds good.
575
00:24:14,996 --> 00:24:17,036
We'll see you there
in a little bit.
576
00:24:17,957 --> 00:24:21,417
Well, there you go. So...
577
00:24:21,502 --> 00:24:23,210
From the very first day
578
00:24:23,296 --> 00:24:25,087
I stepped on this ranch,
we've had
579
00:24:25,131 --> 00:24:27,756
crazy rf readings.
Uh, we saw ufos.
580
00:24:27,842 --> 00:24:31,010
I got dosed by radiation.
We had a cow die.
581
00:24:31,095 --> 00:24:35,264
And then we put 45,000 gallons
of water into this hole.
582
00:24:35,308 --> 00:24:36,974
So, where did it go?
583
00:24:37,059 --> 00:24:41,103
Is there an underground opening
that the water fell into?
584
00:24:41,147 --> 00:24:45,649
It's another just weird thing
about skinwalker ranch.
585
00:24:45,693 --> 00:24:48,486
I think, g-gather
our stuff and head back.
586
00:24:48,529 --> 00:24:50,929
- Sounds good.
- All right.
- Okay.
587
00:24:55,036 --> 00:24:57,286
Brandon: Greetings, gentlemen.
How are you?
588
00:24:57,371 --> 00:24:59,914
- Hey, brandon.
- Hey, brandon, we're fine.
589
00:24:59,999 --> 00:25:01,832
So how did the investigation
go today,
590
00:25:01,918 --> 00:25:04,752
and, uh, what's, uh,
what's the latest?
591
00:25:04,837 --> 00:25:07,421
Really, we didn't see anything,
to be honest,
592
00:25:07,507 --> 00:25:09,632
but with that,
it opens the question as to
593
00:25:09,717 --> 00:25:11,361
where is all of
that water going,
594
00:25:11,385 --> 00:25:13,636
and how are we gonna
figure that out?
595
00:25:13,679 --> 00:25:15,471
That's, uh, significant.
596
00:25:15,515 --> 00:25:19,266
Brandon, I'd like your
permission to be able to
597
00:25:19,352 --> 00:25:22,686
bring some equipment on
and, uh, dig that brush out,
598
00:25:22,730 --> 00:25:26,106
and maybe even excavate out some
around that hole
599
00:25:26,192 --> 00:25:29,026
and towards the road
where we, uh, drilled at.
600
00:25:30,071 --> 00:25:32,257
Erik:
We find ourselves
in a situation again
601
00:25:32,281 --> 00:25:34,114
in which the subject of digging
is coming up.
602
00:25:34,200 --> 00:25:36,053
It's not a subject
that we engage lightly,
603
00:25:36,077 --> 00:25:37,554
given all the things
that have happened
604
00:25:37,578 --> 00:25:39,078
in connection with digging.
605
00:25:40,289 --> 00:25:43,666
Brandon:
Um, I really appreciate
your efforts,
606
00:25:43,751 --> 00:25:46,544
but we know that things have
happened on that ranch,
607
00:25:46,587 --> 00:25:49,713
uh, and continue to happen
608
00:25:49,799 --> 00:25:51,693
when there's construction
activity or any digging.
609
00:25:51,717 --> 00:25:55,553
It bears mentioning that
we saw 45,000 gallons
610
00:25:55,596 --> 00:25:57,012
of water disappear.
611
00:25:57,056 --> 00:25:58,242
It must be going
somewhere rapidly.
612
00:25:58,266 --> 00:26:00,933
I don't see anything
that says don't do it.
613
00:26:01,018 --> 00:26:03,727
That is motivation enough
to start at least
614
00:26:03,813 --> 00:26:05,773
some kind of digging
into the problem.
615
00:26:06,941 --> 00:26:11,569
Dragon, do you feel that
the digging is warranted?
616
00:26:21,622 --> 00:26:24,748
Well, brandon,
I mean, obviously,
617
00:26:24,792 --> 00:26:26,603
the lore associated
with digging,
618
00:26:26,627 --> 00:26:28,397
there's no way to protect
against that.
619
00:26:28,421 --> 00:26:32,089
But we put some safety protocols
in place now.
620
00:26:32,174 --> 00:26:34,258
We've had casey
with qal-tek back out.
621
00:26:34,302 --> 00:26:35,593
Yeah, I think that it's time
622
00:26:35,678 --> 00:26:37,886
that we need to get
below the ground.
623
00:26:39,473 --> 00:26:41,932
Brandon:
Well, based on recommendation,
624
00:26:41,976 --> 00:26:44,101
you have my permission
to proceed.
625
00:26:44,145 --> 00:26:45,978
But proceed with great caution.
626
00:26:46,063 --> 00:26:49,148
- We'll do it.
- Okay, we'll keep you posted
on what we find out.
627
00:26:49,233 --> 00:26:50,441
Thanks again, brandon.
628
00:26:50,526 --> 00:26:51,817
Okay, bye.
629
00:26:52,862 --> 00:26:55,529
- There it is.
- We're gonna dig a hole.
- Yeah.
630
00:26:55,615 --> 00:26:57,467
Bryant:
He's given us the go-ahead
to bring in some heavy equipment
631
00:26:57,491 --> 00:26:59,950
and do some digging.
It could be the key
632
00:26:59,994 --> 00:27:02,661
to figuring out
what exactly is going on here,
633
00:27:02,747 --> 00:27:04,663
or at least give us direction
634
00:27:04,749 --> 00:27:06,290
as to where we need to go next.
635
00:27:06,375 --> 00:27:08,520
In the meantime, we got
a lot of stuff to do.
636
00:27:08,544 --> 00:27:11,295
- That's right.
- Let's get out of here.
- All right, man.
637
00:27:23,476 --> 00:27:26,121
Bryant (over walkie-talkie):
You guys all loaded up in
the jeep, ready to come out?
638
00:27:26,145 --> 00:27:27,956
Travis:
Copy that, dragon.
We're all here.
639
00:27:27,980 --> 00:27:29,833
We're on our way out. We'll be
out there in just a few minutes.
640
00:27:29,857 --> 00:27:32,900
- Bryant: Copy that. See you.
- Over and out.
641
00:27:32,985 --> 00:27:35,339
Travis:
Couple days ago,
we ran a dye test by the pit
642
00:27:35,363 --> 00:27:36,443
over at homestead two
643
00:27:36,489 --> 00:27:38,822
to find out
where the water was going.
644
00:27:38,908 --> 00:27:42,493
But after the test,
we still don't know
645
00:27:42,536 --> 00:27:45,162
why it disappeared
or where it went to.
646
00:27:45,206 --> 00:27:48,957
We all got a little bit of
bad vibe juju, mojo
647
00:27:49,001 --> 00:27:50,501
about digging, right?
648
00:27:50,544 --> 00:27:52,336
And we don't none of us
believe it,
649
00:27:52,421 --> 00:27:55,589
but at the same time,
we want to do it cautiously.
650
00:27:55,675 --> 00:27:57,694
Yeah. I think we can make
our own protocol and, you know,
651
00:27:57,718 --> 00:28:00,177
say every two, three feet,
let's just sample.
652
00:28:00,221 --> 00:28:01,865
And we'll be monitoring
constantly.
653
00:28:01,889 --> 00:28:04,515
The other thing, too, that
I want y'all to be aware of,
654
00:28:04,600 --> 00:28:06,809
I think dragon's really nervous.
655
00:28:06,894 --> 00:28:09,687
He don't want to show it,
but I think he is.
656
00:28:09,772 --> 00:28:11,897
- Yeah, I don't blame him.
- So, uh, let's...
657
00:28:11,982 --> 00:28:13,919
Let's just make sure
that he understands
658
00:28:13,943 --> 00:28:16,193
that we're doing everything
that we can possibly
659
00:28:16,237 --> 00:28:19,071
think of to do
to keep everybody safe.
660
00:28:19,156 --> 00:28:20,531
Absolutely.
661
00:28:26,956 --> 00:28:29,498
It's a good thing
I'm so cautious about this
662
00:28:29,583 --> 00:28:31,353
or I'd have just
started digging.
663
00:28:31,377 --> 00:28:33,001
- Getting tired of waiting.
- Right?
664
00:28:33,087 --> 00:28:35,023
Travis:
Brandon gave us
permission to dig,
665
00:28:35,047 --> 00:28:38,340
so thomas got a mini excavator
delivered to the ranch.
666
00:28:38,384 --> 00:28:39,216
We've got casey here
667
00:28:39,260 --> 00:28:40,718
with all sorts of test equipment
668
00:28:40,761 --> 00:28:43,387
to make sure we're not being
exposed to something dangerous,
669
00:28:43,472 --> 00:28:45,222
and we're gonna start digging.
670
00:28:45,266 --> 00:28:48,475
Brandon's given us
the go-ahead to dig,
671
00:28:48,561 --> 00:28:51,395
but with that, I want to make
sure that we do so cautiously.
672
00:28:51,439 --> 00:28:55,399
So, casey, thank you again
for coming all the way out here,
673
00:28:55,443 --> 00:28:58,694
um, and bringing
all your equipment.
674
00:28:58,779 --> 00:29:00,590
It's no secret that
I have concerns whenever
675
00:29:00,614 --> 00:29:03,407
the topic of digging
on the ranch is brought up.
676
00:29:03,451 --> 00:29:07,995
As excited as we are about this,
every time that
677
00:29:08,080 --> 00:29:10,998
someone does a major digging
on this property,
678
00:29:11,083 --> 00:29:13,500
then bad things happen.
679
00:29:13,586 --> 00:29:15,794
Prior to last year,
thomas winterton had
680
00:29:15,880 --> 00:29:18,547
a very serious head injury
that almost took his life.
681
00:29:18,632 --> 00:29:20,402
We almost lost him
because of it.
682
00:29:20,426 --> 00:29:23,469
Now, I know
that there are answers
683
00:29:23,554 --> 00:29:25,031
that we're trying to
get to the bottom of
684
00:29:25,055 --> 00:29:29,725
that may actually require
more of that sort of activity,
685
00:29:29,769 --> 00:29:31,935
but I want to make sure that
686
00:29:31,979 --> 00:29:34,521
we're not getting ourselves
in trouble.
687
00:29:34,607 --> 00:29:36,523
- Are we ready?
- You ready to start digging?
688
00:29:36,609 --> 00:29:38,901
- Yeah.
- Well, let's get set up
689
00:29:38,986 --> 00:29:41,226
- and let's-let's get moving.
- All right, sounds good.
690
00:29:46,285 --> 00:29:48,410
(engine starts)
691
00:29:50,456 --> 00:29:51,622
and away we go.
692
00:29:56,003 --> 00:29:57,795
The first step is
693
00:29:57,838 --> 00:29:59,922
to clean that brush
out of that hole,
694
00:30:00,007 --> 00:30:01,465
dig down and try to figure out
695
00:30:01,550 --> 00:30:02,986
where that water's
disappearing to.
696
00:30:03,010 --> 00:30:04,635
Uh, just wait for him to get
697
00:30:04,678 --> 00:30:06,323
more of those branches
out of the way.
698
00:30:06,347 --> 00:30:07,407
Travis:
Yeah, that's gonna
be great to see
699
00:30:07,431 --> 00:30:09,311
what's down at the bottom
of that thing.
700
00:30:10,017 --> 00:30:11,787
Erik:
I think we're looking for
a couple of things
701
00:30:11,811 --> 00:30:13,811
with this digging exercise.
702
00:30:13,854 --> 00:30:16,104
We're interested in locating
703
00:30:16,148 --> 00:30:18,148
an exit point
for all that water.
704
00:30:18,192 --> 00:30:21,318
Second, we're interested
in determining whether we,
705
00:30:21,403 --> 00:30:23,946
in the process of digging,
perhaps stir up
706
00:30:24,031 --> 00:30:25,989
something radioactive,
707
00:30:26,075 --> 00:30:27,928
something that
may have been detected
708
00:30:27,952 --> 00:30:29,785
in our earlier exercises.
709
00:30:29,870 --> 00:30:32,182
Travis:
There's a lot of stuff
in that hole, man.
710
00:30:32,206 --> 00:30:34,851
Erik:
And, of course, there's
always the question of,
711
00:30:34,875 --> 00:30:36,959
when you upset the earth,
does anything
712
00:30:37,044 --> 00:30:39,670
ranch phenomenon related
take place?
713
00:30:39,713 --> 00:30:42,005
Bryant (over walkie-talkie):
Hey, thomas?
714
00:30:42,091 --> 00:30:44,633
- Yeah?
- Let's do a safety sweep
715
00:30:44,677 --> 00:30:47,010
- while we got it right here.
- Okay.
716
00:30:47,054 --> 00:30:51,056
Casey:
For the dig today, I brought
my radiation equipment.
717
00:30:51,141 --> 00:30:52,516
I brought back the rad defender,
718
00:30:52,560 --> 00:30:54,476
which is our sensitive
gamma probe.
719
00:30:54,520 --> 00:30:57,521
Basically, what we can do
with that-that probe
720
00:30:57,565 --> 00:31:00,065
is we can attach it to the end
721
00:31:00,150 --> 00:31:02,693
and telescope it out without,
you know... And we can be back
722
00:31:02,736 --> 00:31:05,195
at a safe distance
from whatever we're doing.
723
00:31:05,239 --> 00:31:08,365
You know, uh, I mean, that dirt
looks a little sandy here,
724
00:31:08,450 --> 00:31:10,262
but you can barely
call this a hole.
725
00:31:10,286 --> 00:31:12,264
I don't know where
45,000 gallons went.
726
00:31:12,288 --> 00:31:14,516
Travis:
Yeah, where...?
Yeah, 45,000 gallons
727
00:31:14,540 --> 00:31:17,332
of water with the green dye
in it that we never found.
728
00:31:17,418 --> 00:31:20,002
Right? Where did it go?
729
00:31:21,589 --> 00:31:23,714
More background, so...
730
00:31:23,757 --> 00:31:25,986
- Okay.
- Um, so I don't
see anything above...
731
00:31:26,010 --> 00:31:27,885
- Above my background.
- Okay.
732
00:31:27,970 --> 00:31:29,553
I'm gonna get out of your way.
733
00:31:29,597 --> 00:31:31,555
We can start digging dirt.
734
00:31:33,726 --> 00:31:36,310
So, we've got the brush
cleared out.
735
00:31:36,395 --> 00:31:39,521
Not locating any trace
of dye anywhere.
736
00:31:39,607 --> 00:31:41,440
The next step really is to
737
00:31:41,525 --> 00:31:43,025
dig down and try to figure out
738
00:31:43,110 --> 00:31:44,504
where that water
is disappearing to.
739
00:31:44,528 --> 00:31:47,905
Travis:
Look at that.
That is like potting soil.
740
00:31:52,745 --> 00:31:55,037
You guys should
take a look at this,
741
00:31:55,122 --> 00:31:57,372
what's happening
with-with kaleb's phone.
742
00:31:57,416 --> 00:32:00,208
So, what all's it doing?
743
00:32:00,252 --> 00:32:02,419
It's doing what it's done
in the past.
744
00:32:02,504 --> 00:32:06,757
It goes into different apps.
It's taken a couple screenshots.
745
00:32:06,800 --> 00:32:08,675
I don't have
any control over it.
746
00:32:08,761 --> 00:32:11,470
It shut itself off,
it's turning back on,
747
00:32:11,555 --> 00:32:13,597
and it just goes
right past my pass code.
748
00:32:13,641 --> 00:32:14,993
Travis:
It's just instantly
hacking that.
749
00:32:15,017 --> 00:32:17,476
Kaleb:
And it just goes right past it.
750
00:32:18,562 --> 00:32:21,063
Uh, that's-that's almost
technologically impossible
751
00:32:21,148 --> 00:32:23,588
- to do, and it's doing
it instantaneously?
- Yup.
752
00:32:27,446 --> 00:32:29,299
Travis:
We just start
digging out the pit,
753
00:32:29,323 --> 00:32:31,782
and kaleb's phone is
really wigging out.
754
00:32:31,825 --> 00:32:34,451
It's like somebody has
opened up his phone,
755
00:32:34,495 --> 00:32:38,330
unlocked the pass code, and is
going through all of his apps,
756
00:32:38,415 --> 00:32:40,749
trying to dial random contacts.
757
00:32:40,834 --> 00:32:44,086
Currently, even
the national security agency
758
00:32:44,171 --> 00:32:48,590
doesn't even have the technology
to hack that kind of encryption.
759
00:32:48,676 --> 00:32:51,510
That is startling to me.
760
00:32:51,595 --> 00:32:54,972
And it-it tried calling, uh, 911
761
00:32:55,015 --> 00:32:58,433
and my dispatch number
within a minute.
762
00:32:58,519 --> 00:33:01,103
Travis:
That startles me.
763
00:33:01,146 --> 00:33:03,981
So, if you go
to the exotic, then,
764
00:33:04,024 --> 00:33:05,669
something here is
crying out for help.
765
00:33:05,693 --> 00:33:07,651
Kaleb:
Or is it giving us a warning?
766
00:33:17,955 --> 00:33:20,350
Thomas: So, here we are digging
this hole, and kaleb's screen
767
00:33:20,374 --> 00:33:24,167
starts opening up apps,
trying to make phone calls.
768
00:33:24,211 --> 00:33:25,689
Travis:
To me, that's one... This is
769
00:33:25,713 --> 00:33:27,399
one of the most
startling things because
770
00:33:27,423 --> 00:33:30,298
if there's something
that has that kind
771
00:33:30,342 --> 00:33:33,510
of decryption
hacking capability,
772
00:33:33,595 --> 00:33:35,675
that, to me, scares
the hell out of me.
773
00:33:37,683 --> 00:33:38,932
Kaleb's phone
774
00:33:39,018 --> 00:33:41,476
wigging out is-is really...
Is freaking me out.
775
00:33:41,520 --> 00:33:43,020
That can't be done.
776
00:33:43,063 --> 00:33:45,188
You can't hack the iphone.
777
00:33:45,274 --> 00:33:48,775
Well, I'm gonna tell you,
just based on previous history,
778
00:33:48,861 --> 00:33:51,820
I've done digging before
with my equipment, and it's been
779
00:33:51,905 --> 00:33:53,989
a day or two later
that something really bad
780
00:33:54,033 --> 00:33:55,699
has happened to the equipment,
781
00:33:55,743 --> 00:33:58,285
even up to the point of throwing
a rod through the motors.
782
00:33:58,370 --> 00:34:02,122
So, you know, it's not
always instantaneous.
783
00:34:02,207 --> 00:34:07,878
That exact phone has done
these things when the cow died.
784
00:34:07,921 --> 00:34:10,881
My phone starts freaking out
whenever your trifield goes off.
785
00:34:10,924 --> 00:34:13,717
I don't have any control
over my phone right now.
786
00:34:13,761 --> 00:34:15,864
Thomas: When the rockets
were shooting off...
787
00:34:15,888 --> 00:34:17,179
One. Ignition.
788
00:34:19,558 --> 00:34:22,476
Thomas:
Every time we've had
something big happening
789
00:34:22,561 --> 00:34:25,103
at the ranch, it seems like
he's got issues with that phone.
790
00:34:25,189 --> 00:34:27,584
Kaleb:
It's just been doing this
for the last couple minutes.
791
00:34:27,608 --> 00:34:29,900
Well, I mean,
we need to figure out
792
00:34:29,985 --> 00:34:31,629
what we can scratch
off the list, right?
793
00:34:31,653 --> 00:34:34,529
- Whoa. Whoa.
- Is it doing it again?
794
00:34:34,615 --> 00:34:38,658
I'm changing my password, and
it is... Interfering with it.
795
00:34:38,744 --> 00:34:40,410
Erik:
Oh, wow.
796
00:34:40,454 --> 00:34:43,580
Kaleb:
It's never done this
off the ranch.
797
00:34:45,626 --> 00:34:47,604
Hey, erik, you got
your-your cell phone with you?
798
00:34:47,628 --> 00:34:49,314
- I do. I'm getting...
- Snap some video
of that really quick.
799
00:34:49,338 --> 00:34:51,232
I'm gonna try to get... We have
to get out of the sunlight
800
00:34:51,256 --> 00:34:52,734
- so I can actually see this.
- Yeah.
801
00:34:52,758 --> 00:34:54,652
Well, why would somebody
be hacking your phone
802
00:34:54,676 --> 00:34:58,095
in the middle of the uintah
basin, you know, in utah?
803
00:34:58,180 --> 00:35:00,325
Erik:
Well, we know
its screen is broken.
804
00:35:00,349 --> 00:35:03,058
Yeah, the screen is broken,
but that's where I...
805
00:35:03,102 --> 00:35:05,455
I have normal function with it
even with the broken screen.
806
00:35:05,479 --> 00:35:07,248
Like, there's no interference
when I'm using it.
807
00:35:07,272 --> 00:35:08,939
Casey:
I mean, another thing, too.
808
00:35:08,982 --> 00:35:10,919
How does a...? Even if
it's got a cracked screen,
809
00:35:10,943 --> 00:35:12,629
how does it get past
the password?
810
00:35:12,653 --> 00:35:16,613
Well, the only thing
I can say is...
811
00:35:16,698 --> 00:35:18,198
Keep an eye on it.
812
00:35:18,283 --> 00:35:19,825
If it does anything else,
813
00:35:19,910 --> 00:35:22,285
let us know,
but other than that,
814
00:35:22,371 --> 00:35:24,571
I mean, let's get back
to what we're here for.
815
00:35:24,623 --> 00:35:26,289
I say, dig on.
816
00:35:32,965 --> 00:35:35,632
Kaleb's phone
was freaking me out and...
817
00:35:35,717 --> 00:35:38,301
I-I really can't explain it,
818
00:35:38,345 --> 00:35:40,156
but nothing weird is happening
other than that,
819
00:35:40,180 --> 00:35:43,306
so I say we keep digging
to see where this water went.
820
00:35:50,357 --> 00:35:53,233
Hey, thomas, we're gonna do
a quick check on that spot.
821
00:35:53,318 --> 00:35:54,609
(engine stops)
822
00:35:58,323 --> 00:36:01,491
- it feels like
it's just pure clay.
- Casey: It is.
823
00:36:05,998 --> 00:36:07,142
Thomas:
Nothing?
824
00:36:07,166 --> 00:36:09,166
Nothing.
825
00:36:11,336 --> 00:36:12,730
Bryant:
And you haven't hit anything
826
00:36:12,754 --> 00:36:15,463
other than just
soft clay dirt, right?
827
00:36:15,507 --> 00:36:17,591
It's just cl...
It feels like just clay.
828
00:36:18,552 --> 00:36:20,844
- You're a hydrologist, right?
- Yeah.
829
00:36:20,888 --> 00:36:22,971
Would you expect wa...
45,000 gallons
830
00:36:23,015 --> 00:36:25,348
to go down through that
so quick?
831
00:36:27,311 --> 00:36:29,111
I mean, there could be
other places.
832
00:36:29,188 --> 00:36:31,207
There's voids here that
we're not... we-we haven't saw.
833
00:36:31,231 --> 00:36:33,982
I mean, and so,
that could be a possibility.
834
00:36:34,026 --> 00:36:36,860
Clay just doesn't
allow water to seep in,
835
00:36:36,945 --> 00:36:40,280
and I can't help but wonder
if it's not an opening
836
00:36:40,365 --> 00:36:44,409
or some kind of tunnel that
this water is escaping into.
837
00:36:44,494 --> 00:36:47,037
Around here,
we line our ponds with clay
838
00:36:47,080 --> 00:36:48,960
- because it holds the water.
- Travis: Right.
839
00:36:49,875 --> 00:36:52,209
So, where did the water go?
840
00:36:55,088 --> 00:36:58,381
Thomas has dug all the way down
to about 16 feet,
841
00:36:58,467 --> 00:37:00,528
and we still don't know
where that 45,000 gallons
842
00:37:00,552 --> 00:37:02,719
of water went.
843
00:37:02,763 --> 00:37:04,699
It's getting late,
so we're just gonna wrap it up
844
00:37:04,723 --> 00:37:06,923
and go back and think about
what are next step is.
845
00:37:07,935 --> 00:37:11,228
And out of all of this,
nobody's meters went crazy...
846
00:37:11,271 --> 00:37:12,749
- Nothing. Nothing.
- No-no weird detections?
847
00:37:12,773 --> 00:37:14,542
The only thing is
kaleb's crazy phone thing.
848
00:37:14,566 --> 00:37:16,233
Yeah.
849
00:37:24,910 --> 00:37:27,055
Travis: Just a little more
than eight hours after digging
850
00:37:27,079 --> 00:37:30,372
down at the pit by
homestead two on the ranch,
851
00:37:30,415 --> 00:37:32,582
we're sitting down,
eating hamburgers
852
00:37:32,626 --> 00:37:34,437
around the picnic table
outside my trailer,
853
00:37:34,461 --> 00:37:37,754
and then kaleb shines
his light into the woods.
854
00:37:37,798 --> 00:37:39,839
And I'm like, "what's going on?"
855
00:37:39,925 --> 00:37:42,676
uh, and he says,
"well, do you guys hear that?"
856
00:37:43,637 --> 00:37:46,805
so, I get up
and walk behind him.
857
00:37:46,890 --> 00:37:49,599
And as we turn the corner,
there is this unmistakable
858
00:37:49,643 --> 00:37:53,436
rectangular shaped object
859
00:37:53,480 --> 00:37:55,416
that was glimmering
or shimmering.
860
00:37:55,440 --> 00:37:57,941
And then the thing
instantly vanished.
861
00:37:57,985 --> 00:37:59,901
I'm recording this!
862
00:37:59,987 --> 00:38:02,779
So, kaleb, point your...
Right there.
863
00:38:02,864 --> 00:38:06,908
It was right there, something
yellow and goldish color
864
00:38:06,994 --> 00:38:08,702
and it was rectangular.
865
00:38:08,787 --> 00:38:10,265
Kaleb, I thought
it went this way.
866
00:38:10,289 --> 00:38:12,038
Kaleb:
I... that's what I thought, too.
867
00:38:12,124 --> 00:38:14,352
Just go up there and let's see
if there's tracks or something,
868
00:38:14,376 --> 00:38:16,626
so we can see what we got.
869
00:38:16,670 --> 00:38:18,878
I feel like my training
kind of kicks in and I'm like,
870
00:38:18,964 --> 00:38:21,109
"okay, I'm going after this.
Where-where did it go?"
871
00:38:21,133 --> 00:38:23,967
travis:
Kaleb, y'all keep y'all's gun
ready in case it...
872
00:38:24,011 --> 00:38:25,363
A cat jumps out
and eats us or something.
873
00:38:25,387 --> 00:38:28,763
I mean, if it, if it ran
through here, that's soft.
874
00:38:28,807 --> 00:38:30,098
There would be tracks.
875
00:38:30,142 --> 00:38:32,225
We didn't see the brush move.
876
00:38:32,311 --> 00:38:34,144
We didn't hear footsteps.
877
00:38:34,187 --> 00:38:36,438
We didn't physically
see it run away.
878
00:38:36,523 --> 00:38:37,772
It just vanished.
879
00:38:37,816 --> 00:38:39,941
That scared the (bleep)
out of me.
880
00:38:40,861 --> 00:38:43,006
I mean, I thought we were
about to be, you know,
881
00:38:43,030 --> 00:38:44,424
having a confrontation
with something
882
00:38:44,448 --> 00:38:45,800
- that wanted to eat us.
- Like a frickin' mountain lion.
883
00:38:45,824 --> 00:38:47,969
- Yeah.
- Thomas: There is
that one hole up there
884
00:38:47,993 --> 00:38:50,410
that I was looking and I,
and I swear I heard, like,
885
00:38:50,495 --> 00:38:52,620
some type of twig snap.
886
00:38:52,706 --> 00:38:54,205
But the only way you can see it
887
00:38:54,291 --> 00:38:55,977
is to put your head down
in the hole.
888
00:38:56,001 --> 00:39:00,045
Travis:
I'm telling you right now
that there-there was clearly
889
00:39:00,130 --> 00:39:03,965
- something right there
watching us eat.
- Kaleb: Yeah.
890
00:39:04,051 --> 00:39:06,509
Travis:
I'm turning off the camera,
by the way.
891
00:39:06,595 --> 00:39:09,179
- (camera beeps)
- As soon as I stopped
the video,
892
00:39:09,264 --> 00:39:13,016
looking due south,
something darts across the sky.
893
00:39:14,227 --> 00:39:17,020
It was just a bright streak,
just boom, real quick.
894
00:39:17,064 --> 00:39:19,147
- (camera beeps)
- (bleep)
895
00:39:19,232 --> 00:39:21,252
I thought the excitement
was over, and then suddenly
896
00:39:21,276 --> 00:39:23,401
something just shoots
across the sky.
897
00:39:23,487 --> 00:39:25,173
I want to come out here,
all of this.
898
00:39:25,197 --> 00:39:27,008
I want us to come out here
tomorrow in the daylight
899
00:39:27,032 --> 00:39:28,792
and survey the (bleep)
out of this.
900
00:39:30,243 --> 00:39:33,411
First, we find evidence
of a mysterious void
901
00:39:33,497 --> 00:39:35,872
that's right next
to homestead two.
902
00:39:35,916 --> 00:39:38,166
We dig, and then
all of the sudden,
903
00:39:38,210 --> 00:39:40,293
kaleb's phone
goes completely haywire
904
00:39:40,379 --> 00:39:43,129
like someone, or something,
has hacked into it.
905
00:39:43,215 --> 00:39:45,340
And now this really
strange encounter.
906
00:39:45,425 --> 00:39:47,967
I can't help but wonder if all
these things are connected.
907
00:39:48,053 --> 00:39:50,720
And, if like others
before us have warned,
908
00:39:50,764 --> 00:39:52,889
did our digging
cause this response?
909
00:39:54,142 --> 00:39:56,742
Bryant:
Getting the feeling
that we're being watched
910
00:39:56,770 --> 00:39:59,312
or even possibly stalked
by something
911
00:39:59,398 --> 00:40:02,065
while we're outside
just having dinner
912
00:40:02,109 --> 00:40:04,943
really raises
the concern level heavily.
913
00:40:05,028 --> 00:40:08,905
So, we need to be very vigilant,
because this is an area
914
00:40:08,949 --> 00:40:11,408
that is dangerous and things are
915
00:40:11,493 --> 00:40:13,368
constantly going on out here.
916
00:40:13,412 --> 00:40:16,621
Erik:
There are a few activities
planned for this summer
917
00:40:16,706 --> 00:40:18,748
that have me mildly concerned.
918
00:40:18,792 --> 00:40:22,001
And I have absolutely no idea
what to expect from them.
919
00:40:22,087 --> 00:40:26,589
Brandon:
Just when you least expect it,
the ranch comes alive,
920
00:40:26,633 --> 00:40:28,633
and I want to get some answers.
921
00:40:28,718 --> 00:40:31,594
I want to better understand
922
00:40:31,638 --> 00:40:35,723
what is causing the phenomena
at skinwalker ranch.
923
00:40:35,809 --> 00:40:38,601
Understanding the nature
of these events
924
00:40:38,645 --> 00:40:41,729
that continue to occur,
that defy explanation,
925
00:40:41,815 --> 00:40:44,774
really drives
our investigation forward.
926
00:40:49,072 --> 00:40:51,300
Travis:
There's still a lot of
weird things about the ranch
927
00:40:51,324 --> 00:40:53,450
that we can't explain.
928
00:40:53,493 --> 00:40:55,285
I do sense a presence here.
929
00:40:55,328 --> 00:40:58,621
I get visitors; alien activity.
930
00:40:58,665 --> 00:41:00,143
Travis:
You can see the mesa
glow in that camera.
931
00:41:00,167 --> 00:41:01,227
Bryant:
Unreal.
932
00:41:01,251 --> 00:41:03,104
When you walked
inside the building,
933
00:41:03,128 --> 00:41:04,627
it didn't take any data.
934
00:41:04,713 --> 00:41:06,921
Erik: The temperature
around the homestead
935
00:41:07,007 --> 00:41:08,256
began to drop.
936
00:41:08,300 --> 00:41:10,403
Travis: You're in launch,
the electromagnetic
937
00:41:10,427 --> 00:41:12,427
spectrum is going crazy, guys.
938
00:41:12,471 --> 00:41:13,386
- (bellowing)
- hey, look, the cows...
939
00:41:13,472 --> 00:41:15,158
Something's got the cows
going nuts.
940
00:41:15,182 --> 00:41:17,682
Thomas has spotted a light.
941
00:41:17,767 --> 00:41:19,162
Travis:
Hey, hey, hey, hey.
942
00:41:19,186 --> 00:41:20,435
Right here.
943
00:41:20,479 --> 00:41:21,936
What do you think it is?
944
00:41:22,022 --> 00:41:23,062
It is a portal.
945
00:41:23,148 --> 00:41:24,856
Holy (bleep)!
946
00:41:24,941 --> 00:41:26,294
We got something,
we got something!
947
00:41:26,318 --> 00:41:27,525
I'm leaving the ranch.
948
00:41:27,611 --> 00:41:29,088
- I'm getting a bad headache.
- Are you serious?
949
00:41:29,112 --> 00:41:30,862
What I saw doesn't belong here.
950
00:41:30,947 --> 00:41:32,614
I'm a little nervous. Hold on.
951
00:41:32,699 --> 00:41:34,407
Hey.
952
00:41:34,493 --> 00:41:36,284
Brandon:
We're engaging the phenomena.
953
00:41:36,369 --> 00:41:39,954
The question is, are you willing
to all accept the risks?
954
00:41:40,040 --> 00:41:41,058
- (alert beeping)
- Cameron: Though something
955
00:41:41,082 --> 00:41:42,810
- could be under us.
- What the hell
956
00:41:42,834 --> 00:41:44,770
- is under us? I don't get it.
- It's stayed with us
957
00:41:44,794 --> 00:41:46,754
- the whole time.
- It's following us.
958
00:41:47,088 --> 00:41:49,317
Travis:
Crazy things happen
on skinwalker ranch.
959
00:41:49,341 --> 00:41:51,301
