ALIEN PORTAL Sparks Suspicions – “You’re Not In Control” | The Secret of Skinwalker Ranch (Season 3)

TRAVIS TAYLOR: We decided it was time to reach back out to someone who we know was not only a former investigator on the ranch but also had his own experiences with bizarre cattle incidents—retired Army Colonel John Alexander. Thanks for coming out. We appreciate it.

OK. Colonel Alexander was a key member of billionaire Robert Bigelow’s team, who studied phenomena on the ranch for two decades starting back in 1996. So given everything we’ve been experiencing recently at the triangle, we were grateful that he agreed to come back and share information that could help our investigation.

We would like to see if you have some insight from your past here that might spur us into some other experiments that we might like to do. A lot of times when we do have these anomalies, we are detecting a strange signal that we can’t identify at 1.6-something gigahertz.

OK. And so I guess the question we would have is during the time that you guys were here, did you record or see things that looked like this signal at 1.6 gigahertz? We’ve heard about opening portals. What can you tell us about those?

The closest to what you’re asking is the incident out of—near the second homestead, you know? Something moving through the Russian olives out there, through the trees, where you’re aware there’s kind of a slight distortion. You didn’t see a thing. It was more of distortions moving.

After their investigation ended, the NIDS team put forth the idea that a portal connected to another dimension causes the phenomena that happened on the ranch. And I don’t know if that could really explain what’s happened during our experiments, but we’ve seen some crazy stuff at Homestead Two as well.

So what I’m taking from this is that there is a long history of unusual phenomena without an identifiable source in this basin. And I’m learning that there were no answers produced as a result of the previous research here. That’s kind of surprising—Right.

—because that burden that we’re bearing today is that our own conclusions don’t make sense to us yet. It’s been a frustration. Almost become a joke.

Yes, but I think you’re operating under the illusion that you’re in control. You’re not in control. There’s an it that’s in control.

TRAVIS TAYLOR: Yeah, right in here in all these damn weeds. We waited until nightfall to go back out near Homestead Two to see if we can stimulate more phenomena to appear that might prove or disprove Colonel Alexander and NIDS theory that a portal might exist on Skinwalker Ranch.

Now the plan was to use what’s become our tried-and-true method for stimulating phenomena—launching a rocket. We are ready to launch.

We also set up a spectrum analyzer to look out for any strange RF energy. OK, so this is up and running. All right, here we go. 5, 4, 3, 2, 1.

BRYANT ARNOLD: Oh, got the chute.

TRAVIS TAYLOR: It got the chute. That’s coming down right over here. Coming down fast.

TRAVIS TAYLOR: That’s good.

BRYANT ARNOLD: Chute hasn’t opened.

TRAVIS TAYLOR: Nope. Boom! Caleb, you got it? Well, you had to land it right in a tree. I’m looking for any UAPs.

TRAVIS TAYLOR: I don’t see nothing. While Caleb’s getting that, I’m going to go over here and check the instruments and stuff. He may need some help. I don’t know. Caleb, you need help?

CALED: I got it. I can’t figure out why the chute didn’t open, though.

ERIK: Are you doing something at 1.6?

CALEB: What are you seeing?

TRAVIS TAYLOR: A signal? 1.60000.

When the chute failed to open and the rocket crashed down near the homestead, I didn’t want to jump to conclusions. But then right on cue, Erik’s spectrum analyzer registered that freaky 1.6 gigahertz energy level that has coincided with almost every phenomena we’ve witnessed out here.

We’ve had a hell of a day.

TRAVIS TAYLOR: That mysterious 1.6 gigahertz frequency sound suddenly stopped. Now, I’m not sure, but to me, it sounded like some sort of communication signal. It’s crazy to think about, but we need to try and figure out what in the heck it could be and why we’re receiving it.

All right, well, let’s load up. All right. OK.

TRAVIS TAYLOR: What’s going on, Erik?

ERIK BARD: I’m looking through some footage.

TRAVIS TAYLOR: Yeah?

ERIK BARD: Yeah, I’ve got something to show you.

TRAVIS TAYLOR: The day after our night experiment at Homestead Two, Erik called us in to review something in his surveillance footage that got him both excited and a little freaked out.

You know, we’ve got all those new cameras out at the homesteads. So you know, I get plenty of critter activity. You know what it looks like when you’ve got a moth, or some kind of insect, or piece of debris flying across your field of view? But I’ve got something here that doesn’t fit in.

TRAVIS TAYLOR: Really?

ERIK BARD: Yeah. It happened just last night after our experiment.

TRAVIS TAYLOR: What on Earth is that? The hell is that?

ERIK BARD: OK, so let’s play this through, and I really want your thoughts on what this might be.

TRAVIS TAYLOR: Well, it’s behind the tree, so it’s far enough away.

ERIK BARD: Right.

TRAVIS TAYLOR: Play that again.

ERIK BARD: Sure.

THOMAS WINTERTON: You can see the other particles around.

TRAVIS TAYLOR: Well, it’s leaving a trail. Go back, Erik.

ERIK BARD: Sure. – Go back about–

TRAVIS TAYLOR: Yeah, point out the trail.

ERIK BARD: Uh-huh. You can even see the trail behind it. Now let it—watch it go. It leaves a trail behind it as it goes. All right. Stop. You see it?

ERIK BARD: Sure.

TRAVIS TAYLOR: See the path there? What’s the frame rate of this camera? These are set, I believe, to 24.

ERIK BARD: Well, that’s not moving much faster than that. So it shouldn’t be causing frame delay.

TRAVIS TAYLOR: So it’s not a bug inside the field of view because it goes behind this tree, right?

BRYANT ARNOLD: Well, it’s not—look at the bugs, Travis. You can see the bugs zooming by.

TRAVIS TAYLOR: Yeah.

BRYANT ARNOLD: This thing looks like a balloon floating around on the wind.

TRAVIS TAYLOR: Yeah, and then it goes behind the tree over here.

ERIK BARD: Yeah, but the movement is very organic, I would say. It’s irregular. It’s not just smoothly moving through the scene.

Well, the interesting thing is you look at the grass and the trees. I don’t see really any wind, you know?

TRAVIS TAYLOR: Good point.

BRYANT ARNOLD: And so you see it. It drifts over to the right with no wind going that direction. And then it drifts and just slowly—like I said, it almost looks like a balloon just floating around.

THOMAS WINTERTON: That’s not being affected by the same forces that are carrying the rest of it. It’s not a balloon because a balloon would have been more stochastically or [inaudible] moving about. And that looks like it’s moving with intent.

Comes along, decides it doesn’t want to be here, then decides to go off this way. This is unique. You know and it’s—I don’t think I’ve seen anything.

TRAVIS TAYLOR: You’ve never shown me anything close to that.

Well, it goes in front of those trees and behind that tree. So that tells us it’s at least 30 feet away. So it’s about the size of a volleyball.

Think of it this way. In one night, one span there, we see a strange communication beam and then we see this thing. Is there a connection?

What’s particularly bizarre about this phenomenon is it happened just after our rocket experiment at Homestead Two when we heard that really strange 1.6 gigahertz signal. It all looks to be connected. I just don’t know how or why yet.

In the beginning, it almost looks like it changes shape a little bit to me. Is it more, though, looking at the end would be a circle, but then as it turns, a cigar shape because you’re getting more of the 3D?

Just like this, right? If you’re looking at this end on, you think it’s a circle, right?

ERIK BARD: Sure.

TRAVIS TAYLOR: You look at this, it looks like a line or—OK.

ERIK BARD: Something, you know, cigar-shaped.

I tell you what it reminds me of—the Tic Tac UAP video. The UAP that appeared in the Tic Tac video that was recorded by the USS Nimitz group in 2004 appeared to be cigar-shaped when viewed from certain angles. But it was reported to look more spherical by the Navy pilots when it flew straight towards them.

Do any of those objects move around so organically as we see?

ERIK BARD: Yes, and they amorphously change shape depending on the direction they turn.

So we’ve measured a signal many times when we’ve seen phenomena occur specifically around 1.6 gigahertz. We’re seeing whatever this thing is. And interestingly enough, at the same instant, we see this signal at 1.6 gigahertz.

It’s pretty bizarre. It’s crazy is what it is. I don’t know what to say of this, but I would say you’ve captured a UAP on camera here, Erik, and we don’t know what it is.

ERIK BARD: Well, this is just one more case of strange activity out at the homesteads. You know, Homestead Two is a place where we see a lot of this stuff. So I’m not going to be satisfied until I’ve spent some time doing some image processing on this.

TRAVIS TAYLOR: Sure.

ERIK BARD: And I’ll come back to you guys and let you know if I find anything.

TRAVIS TAYLOR: All right. Thanks, guys. Good job, Erik.

ERIK BARD: Our fascination, our speculation, about the ranch phenomenon and about how the ranch fits into the larger picture has only been elevated. We realize we’re not dealing with a simple problem set but one that is very complex.
