Biggest Alien Mysteries of 2024 (Pt. 2) | The Secret of Skinwalker Ranch | History

Our first experiment of the year at the triangle, Cameron Fugal arranged for his colleague Brock Wilson to fly a second helicopter out to the ranch.
Thanks for your help and bringing your beautiful -machine out. -Thanks for having me.
I know we’ve spoken before and talked a little bit about the experiment that we want to perform in the air -over the triangle out there… -Yes.
…broadcasting some signals between the helicopters and, also, down into the ground.
As Travis likes to say, you’ll be flying a push-broom pattern at various altitudes, starting at low altitude and going to high.
-How high up are we going? -Five to six thousand feet at the top end.
Okay.
-Great. -THOMAS: Well, let’s get these birds in the air.
-All right. Let’s go to work. -Let’s do it.
TRAVIS: I will be in chopper one with Brock, and Erik will be in chopper two with Thomas and Cameron. And we’re going to ascend in a synchronized pattern to identify the actual size of the area above the triangle that we call the “anomalous zone.” I got a GPS tracker here -that I want to tape to your skids. -BROCK: Okay.
TRAVIS: This is where we’ve documented many anomalies, or strange occurrences, like UAPs, bizarre radio signals and GPS errors between about 31 to 10,000 feet in the air. So, as we ascend to various altitudes, I’m going to transmit a 1.6 gigahertz frequency signal over to Erik. That’s a signal we’ve been detecting frequently on the ranch during many of our experiments. And it’s left us baffled because that frequency is reserved by the military for tracking communications between satellites and the ground.
So it’s got us questioning, who’s making those transmissions on the ranch and why?
I’ll have you hold onto that.
TRAVIS: And since it’s been an effective tool in past experiments, we’re also planning to launch rockets to probe the area and try and stimulate phenomena to occur above the triangle. TRAVIS: When the two helicopters reached 700 feet above the triangle, we finally saw that a clear pattern in the signal disruption was indeed occurring.
Every time Cameron’s helicopter passed through the northern region of the anomalous zone, the signal between the choppers was broken. So, that made me think we should go up a lot higher to see what would happen next.
BROCK: Yeah.
Copy that.
We’ll go ahead and launch the rocket here.
TRAVIS: Once we got up to 3,000 feet, it was time to launch a rocket to see if we could stimulate whatever this anomaly was to appear, or at least see if we could get some GPS data to pinpoint its position.
BRYANT: Rocket’s going up in five, four, three, two, one.
The rocket’s away.
-You see that GPS jump? -Yep.
SAM: Looks like he, uh, instantaneously changed altitude.
KALEB: I don’t think Brock did that.
The GPS data is showing the helicopter making this big jump, and what we’re looking for with these blue dots is a consistent movement across the screen.
So if there’s anything outside of a regular interval between these dots, that’s some anomalous activity. Uh, so, we have a pretty good…
-Yeah. -…GPS anomaly right there, I’d say.
KALEB: Looks like we’re missing some data already.
BRYANT: So, we’re missing GPS points?
Is that what you’re saying, Kaleb?
KALEB: Yes.
SAM: Yeah, you are missing a lot of data.
TRAVIS: Once I figured out that Erik was receiving my signal when his chopper was on the south side of the triangle, but then was blocked by something whenever he reached the north side… All right.
…I wanted to see what would happen when I broadcast a signal from my generator on the ground to Erik in chopper two in the air.
Hey, Cameron, can you get 300 feet above the triangle and see if you can pick up Travis’ signal? Go ahead and radio up to them, Dragon.
Tell them I’m in position.
I am broadcasting.
Hey, Cameron, Travis is in position and he is broadcasting to 1.6. Confirming if you can see that signal or not. -They’re getting something? -No, they’re getting nothing.
They’re getting nothing right there?
Sam! They’re not getting anything right over us, and we’re broadcasting from right here to there.
They’ve got 300-foot line of sight.
So, Travis is going to walk out to the south of the triangle and have you pass over him and see if you pick it up away from the triangle. Are they getting anything?
Are you guys picking anything up from here?
-Yeah, he can see it now. -He can see it here…
That’s crazy.
So you were only about 300 feet above the triangle and couldn’t pick it up, but now, at 1,000 feet away, you’re picking it up.
That’s interesting.
TRAVIS: So, once I got out far away from the triangle, the signal connection worked perfectly. As scientists, this is the kind of data that really excites Erik and me because it showed repeatedly that something we couldn’t see was blocking the signal.
But now, we have a lot of data to crunch and video files to scrub through to see if something even more impressive was captured today above the triangle. What I’m going to show you is the live GPS data that was wirelessly streamed down during the flight.
This is from Brock’s helicopter.
I’ve located the command center, or the helipad here, with a white feature So, you know, the elephant in the room here, of course, um…
-Where’d all the data go? -ERIK: …is… is…
Well, the gaps, exactly.
Clearly, we don’t have a fully continuous path here.
TRAVIS: We knew that Cameron’s GPS was malfunctioning, or being blocked by something during the experiment, but seeing the gaps in Brock’s GPS data was really baffling.
According to our tracking system, Brock’s helicopter literally disappeared and then reappeared.
So, what in the world did that mean? I’ve got a clip that I want to show you from the skid of the helicopter looking downward.
I’ll just play it through, tell me if you see– -TRAVIS: This is Cameron’s helicopter? -ERIK: Yeah.
CAMERON: Oh. Right there.
Brandon was in the car across the bottom, right?
-Yeah. -Yeah.
-Back, back up, Erik. -ERIK: Okay.
Okay, I’m just taking it back one frame at a time.
BRYANT: There’s a little white– TRAVIS: Oh, whoa, whoa! There it is.
BRYANT: …white stick right there.
ERIK: Right there, yeah.
TRAVIS: Leave, leave it there, man, Erik.
I got to look at it with my eyeballs.
ERIK: Do you see any internal structure there?
TRAVIS: Well, so what you do see are two lines in the middle that are saturated, meaning they’re as hot as they can be, or as bright as they can be.
ERIK: So, what does that tell you?
TRAVIS: Well, so it tells me one of two things: There are either two structures to it or it’s two objects.
Wow.
Wow.
TRAVIS: We’ve seen all kinds of UAPs in the last few years above Skinwalker Ranch. above Skinwalker Ranch. Some have looked like orbs of light… …and some have actually looked like they could be nuts and bolts crafts. But this one– or these two, if they were separate objects– appeared to be physical crafts. So… what was this and was it related to all the signal disruptions that we experienced during the experiment?
They’re offset like this, -right? -So we should see if that persists in the next frame.
TRAVIS: Yeah, that’s what I was gonna see.
Okay.
TRAVIS: Go a frame back or forward.
ERIK: Forward. Okay. There it is.
TRAVIS: Same thing, same thing.
-You ready to go one more? -TRAVIS: Yeah.
ERIK: Okay, so you’ve got it right there.
-Yeah. -ERIK: Now forward, -and here we are– -Same– same thing. Same thing.
Do we have an estimation on the size of the object?
Yeah, you can see that that’s about the same length as the bed of the pickup truck.
ERIK: That’s a great scale comparison.
TRAVIS: So this is a short bed, so that’s about…
-Five and a half foot. -TRAVIS: There you go, five and a half foot.
So what you got there is a five-foot object in the field of view of this camera.
KALEB: Yeah.
ERIK: Have we seen anything exactly like this before?
I don’t have a memory of seeing something like, exactly like this one.
I don’t think exactly, no.
ERIK: You know, a lot of what we see is either spherical or approximately spherical or kind of fuzzy.
Uh, in this case, I just, I don’t think it has a precedent.
I don’t think we know what these things are. I’m not sure that we can classify them. But we’re going to just continue collecting data of this kind every time we go to altitude and see if they form some kind of pattern.
We got to figure out where are they going to and where are they coming from?
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.
TRAVIS: We’re gonna go at dark. -Hey, Don. -There he is. -Welcome back.
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.
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? 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, shoot 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.
-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.
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.
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? 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. 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.
ERIK: Hey, guys.
Erik gathered us all in the command center to review Pete Kelsey’s processed data from our laser experiment last night at the triangle.
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.
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.
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.
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.
