The Secret of Skinwalker Ranch: UFO Crashes on the Rocky Mesa (S5)

Hey here the boys, what’s up fellas, we’ve
been struggling for more than a month
now to drill an 8in bore hole up through
the Mesa where we first encountered a
massive Dome-shaped object back in
2021. According to recent ground
penetrating radar scans, this thing is
also surrounded by several smaller
anomalies and may be composed of
metallic materials that are similar to
what NASA has used to protect the
surfaces of spacecraft. So we’re attempting to drill
two bore holes through the Mesa, one on
each side of the Dome-shaped object. Then
we’ll insert scanning devices that will
hopefully enable us to identify what it
is. Today, the Drillers are extracting the
rods from the Mesa so that we can assess
the drill bit for damage from possible
contact with the Dome-shaped
object. This device sends a signal to
a receiver on the surface so that the
Drillers can keep track of the drill bit
underground.
But just when it may have hit the Dome-shaped object, the beacon stopped
working.

Okay, Jar, going with this next
[Music]
Rod still got him, so that’s a good
sign, it’s right here now. Yeah, he’s
absolutely
broadcasting. We were holding our breath,
hoping the beacon would stay connected
so the team could complete this bore
hole all the way through the Mesa and
help us get some answers about the
dome-shaped
object. It’s getting all
wonky, and I lost him. Lost him, I got him
back.
Now, well that is
something. Something’s making their
Beacon jump around in frequency, and it
shouldn’t be doing that.
And it is
extremely
erratic. Still got him? No, I lost him. So I
really don’t know where I’m at, really.
[Music]
Yeah, listen to him struggling. Yeah, he’s
trying to push that thing in right now.
What the hell is in that Mesa?
Yeah, hey
guys, go ahead, Tom. Have no idea where
this drill head is up in this Mesa,
but we just sucked out the spoils pit.
So that spoils down to DP, alright, see
if we get any metal hits and mark it out
and then test for it.
Yeah, dude, if you
need me, I’m right here. Thank
[Music]
you. What the hell is that?
[Music]
Hey
[Music]
Eric, at first, I thought it was a green
colored rock. Yeah, that’s what I went to
pick it up, and the first chunk squished
in my fingers. That’s the strangest thing
I’ve seen. Uh, honestly, without
identifying what the hell that is, I
don’t know that I’d be touching
it. Well, yeah, I picked it up. Yep,
understood. Hey, Travis, Caleb, come take a
look at this. Brant’s got something here.
These things are not at all like
anything else we’re bringing out. So the
question is, what have we hit
here? Uh, it’s gelatin. It’s like, do you
don’t want to pick it up? Like, look at it.
It’s like a, what are you kidding me? It’s
green jelly. It really
is. Hey, Jared, does this look like stuff
that comes from your equipment? Just,
yeah, it’s like a gelatin that doesn’t look
like anything I’ve seen before out
of any of our tanks, really. That’s
bizarre. That is bizarre. Alright, I say
we bag this. Yep, where are the bags? I
don’t over here, we’ll keep looking for
more. Jeez, I, that was the last thing in
the world I’d be thinking about right
now, green jelly. What is this material? Is
it minerological, or is it potentially
biological? I don’t think I want to put
that in a bag. I’m going to try. Oh, that’s a
good idea. I don’t know. I don’t know, but
it has my imagination running. You
want to just put that in there? Sure. I
want to have these green potentially
organic specimens examined by the proper
means and by those who have the ability
to discern what they
are. What the—alright, this is getting
stranger and
stranger. Hey, Travis, will you bring a
water bottle over real
quick? Tell me, what color is underneath
this one? It’s that jelly stuff. What? But
it’s pain, but it’s got
Pink. Finding green jelly in the drilling
spoils was weird enough, but then the
pink material really made me wonder if
these substances might be organic or
even biological. I would never expect to
find stuff like that in Solid Rock. It’s
all just clay. So Caleb and I kept
searching through the spoils, hoping that
we’d find something more definitive that
might give us some
answers. There’s a piece of wood in there.
What? That? Look at that, it’s just been
carved. I, it’s ain’t like a tree. This is
like a piece of lumber. I wonder if it’s
like a—it be a, like a m shaft. That’s
what I was just wondering. Could there be
a maybe there was a tunnel or a m? That’s
that’s wood. How did this get inside the
Mesa? We’ve never heard that mining
operations took place here on the ranch,
so it was really odd that possibly
machined or handcrafted wood came from
that deep in the Mesa. We’ve got to
uncover whatever is actually in there
and figure this out,
but I’m absolutely keeping
this. Hey
guys, so you guys obviously recognize the
samples we have here on the table, yeah?
We’ve reached out and connected with Dr.
Power from the University of Utah to
have an analysis prepared for us, and so
I’m going to bring him up on video
conference now. Okay, okay, that’d be great.
Hello, Dr. Power. Hello there, thanks for
jumping on with us today. We’re really
interested in your analysis of
those samples that we’ve provided. So
what did you think of the samples that
we sent?
You know, the samples were kind
of interesting to me. The first sample,
you know, I have it here in a small
vial. This is the piece of wood that we
pulled out of the spoils pile, correct?
That’s correct. Um, we did a little bit of
preliminary analysis on it, um, and then
we started to play around with some
lighting and some Imaging. And as we zoom
in, we start to see some
structure. You can start to see these
pores spaces showing up in what we think
is a stem. And now if these are indeed
pores spaces, there’s only a
few types of plants that can do that, and
plants that produce a lot of spores in
their stem or pore holes tend to be
aquatic
plants. So our best guess, um, for this
particular sample is that it’s likely a
stem of an aquatic plant. And if
I zoom in a bit more, you can see in
these two pictures you really start to
pick out those pores.
I was shocked when Dr. Power
revealed that he believed this wasn’t
crafted wood but part of an aquatic
plant. But I was also confused by what it
was doing that far inside the Mesa. What
is your guess of why something like that
would be
inside a Mesa about 200
ft?
Well, um, I was hoping you guys might
have some idea about that. Um, you all
know better than I, as you were drilling
through. It sounds like it was
predominantly like a Sandstone, very
little organic matter, right? But it seems
pretty clear to me that at some point in
your drilling operation, you penetrated
some type of ancient buried wetland
deposit.
I was not expecting to hear that at all.
No, we are looking at biological
specimens, prehistoric specimens of some
kind of very porous plant material from
an ancient era in a location that may
fit the profile of a debris field inside
the Mesa. What about the second
sample? The second sample was the jelly
sample, and uh, the jelly sample, uh, it’s
kind of interesting. It doesn’t really
match with what I see in terms of the
geological history of the area. Um, so
I, what I did is I took what’s called a
smear sample. And so, um, I don’t know if
you can see here in my video, there’s a
small microscope slide. When we sent that
sample in, it had a kind of a green
coloration to it. Do you know what could
account for the green coloration of it?
Originally, uh, we were thinking it was a
some kind of alal material, and you mean
algae? That’s right. Yeah, I didn’t see any
algal structures, so it’s not a
biologically driven color, as far as I
can tell. So it’s not chlorophyll. I don’t
think so. So I thought I’d dig in a
little deeper into this smear slide.
So we washed it down to see what kind
of material was left, and so what you’re
seeing now is the organic slime or jelly
sample has dissolved away, and the
particles you see are pieces of burnt
plant
material. And what was surprising is the
abundance of burnt plant material in a
relatively small sample size. The real
take-home here is that it’s full of
charcoal. You mean like something caused
a fire deep inside the Mesa? Absolutely.
Yeah, wow.
