The Secret of Skinwalker Ranch

I've arranged for a crane

to lift a lot of these big rocks at the bottom of the mesa.

This 1.6 gigahertz signal

seems to be coming from right there, where that big crane is.

We're going to probe that space

down at the triangle.

Kaleb will be releasing projectiles.

Holy cow.

There's something following the helicopter.

What the heck is flying

around in my state?

There is a ranch in Northern Utah.

It is considered the epicenter

of the strangest and most disturbing phenomena on Earth:

animal mutilations,

bizarre UFO sightings

and unusual energies that have proven harmful to humans.

For 20 years, the federal government

tried to find answers and failed.

Now a new team of dedicated scientists,

researchers and experts has taken over.

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

...The Secret of Skinwalker Ranch.

You guys cleared out a spot.

Yeah.

Made it out, huh?

Yeah, we made it.

Over the past four years,

it's been extremely challenging for our team to determine

what is actually causing all the bizarre phenomena

that happens on Skinwalker Ranch.

So, looks a little different

from the last time you were here.

But now, we've invited Aaron Blunt

and his team from Straight Shot Drillers

back to the ranch to begin a new drilling operation

at a very specific location on the mesa

where we hope to finally get some answers.

Do you think you'll be able to get the drill

actually up in here, in an area right there

- where he's been cleared out? - Yep.

We can get her up in here.

You guys have done a good job.

Boy, that thing sounds like it's hitting something.

Hard.

It's right in this spot

where, last year, we drilled up against

a massive 400-foot-long dome-shaped object.

We're coming up about 11 inches every ten feet.

So, it sounds like you're describing kind of a V.

It could even be... maybe a dome.

What is that?

The drill didn't penetrate it,

but we did obtain metallic fragments

that could be from its surface.

There's no telling how much

of this metallic crap there is still in that hillside.

Scientific analysis revealed to us

that those fragments were made up of materials

that are similar to what's used on the exterior

of the space shuttle for protection from extreme heat

during reentry into the Earth's atmosphere.

I know you did another survey. - We did quite a few more.

That's actually got some data, right? - Absolutely.

I would love to see that.

So then, three weeks ago,

we continued new ground-penetrating radar scans

over the mesa at that exact location.

Hello.

- Look at that. - Look at that.

And that operation detected a second, possibly metallic

vertical anomaly behind the dome-shaped object

that's almost as tall as the mesa.

I can't tell you what that is, but it is highly anomalous.

I mean, we've got,

ground-penetrating radar data now

indicating that there might be

another vertical object in there that's a hundred feet high.

The data suggests that it was,

about 20 feet wide this way,

so hopefully we'll-- we can get in there and hit it.

So, last year,

we hit that hard object about the bottom of that mesa,

and we've-- you were never able to get that drill bit

to push up through it.

So, this year, the hope is, by coming up

a little bit higher, get in at that point.

Start in up above it this time, huh?

Maybe we'll have a better chance

of pushing through whatever that is.

Okay.

Since we couldn't penetrate the underside

of the dome-shaped object when we drilled last year,

this time, we want to drill into it from above.

Hopefully, we can not only get better evidence

of what that is but also figure out

whatever the vertical anomaly behind it is, too.

So, we're talking about

300 feet in,

and about 2.5 degrees off of north.

Now, I don't know how precisely you can direct that thing.

Is that a reasonable target?

Yeah, it-it seems reasonable.

I think that's everything.

We just need to start getting set up.

- That works for me. - Okay.

All right, let's get going.

Thanks, guys.

Let's use this table to stage.

- Yep. - Erik, you want to set up on that side

with the monitors and everything? - Okay.

We're accustomed to seeing signals

in the vicinity of 1.6 gigahertz

when we're making changes to the landscape.

Even small changes like drilling.

Right there is perfect if you can get it to stay up.

We got to run cables now.

I've got a spectram device connected to the antennas,

the Yagis that are out in the field with us

and we'll be looking especially, of course,

in that 1.6 gigahertz frequency range,

and to see if there is an increase in activity here.

You guys gonna be okay if I go up there

and watch him drill for a little bit?

That's actually a good idea. - Okay.

Perfect. I think we're good there.

Given the fact that we've heard

so many different stories about the mesa,

whether it be underground caves, bases,

even spaceships flying into it.

I don't know what we're gonna uncover,

but I hope it's something important,

and I'm anxious to find out.

Let's get drilling.

It's going now.

Hey, guys, they've started pushing the drill in.

Okay.

Yell if they hit something interesting.

Absolutely.

We'll keep you posted the minute we see anything unusual.

As excited as we were for answers,

we knew it might be a day or more

to reach our targets inside the mesa.

So, while we were overseeing the operation...

You guys want to sit here?

All righty, thank you.

...over at Homestead One...

Thank you so much for coming.

- I'm glad this worked out. - I know.

...Kandus Linde and Tom Lewis met with Mikey Rivers

and Peter Yount,

two local Ute tribal members

who reached out to share personal and potentially

valuable information about Skinwalker Ranch.

Now, it's amazing that you're here.

Why don't you give us some background

on where you're from, where you grew up?

I grew up in Neola, Utah.

Way by the mountains up there.

Growing up, I always heard stories of the ranch

and this area,

this Skinwalker Ranch, has always been cursed,

evil, whatever you want to call it.

Was it some place that you were scared to go?

Yeah, most definitely.

Yeah.

We were told not to go. - Yeah.

We were told not to go.

There was a lot of phenomena that we would see.

But if you did experience something,

you kept it to yourself because you didn't want to get shunned

by the other tribes or other tribal members.

The Ute people have been handing down accounts

of strange phenomena

and mysterious, shape-shifting creatures in the area

that are known as skinwalkers

dating back centuries.

Usually, they won't talk about it with anyone

outside their tribe,

so whenever members are willing to open up

to us, our team takes it very seriously and listens

with the utmost respect.

Do you think it's changing now?

Like, the generations are more open to talk about it?

In my opinion, I think this

investigation is opening a lot of doors.

Those who keep quiet are slowly coming forward.

- Yeah. - I think, throughout

the Uintah Basin, the majority

of people out here have experienced something strange...

Yeah. - ...they cannot define,

and it's extremely important

for brave people like yourselves

to-to come out and just-just talk about it.

Have you ever seen anything

you couldn't describe or...?

Well...

have you guys heard of the path of the Skinwalker,

by any chance? - Yes. Yes.
