The Secret of Skinwalker Ranch

I'd like to get to the bottom of whether

there really is a cave system beneath this ranch.

This is the hole you was talking about?

Yeah. We're gonna fill it with water

and put some dye in it.

- It's draining quickly. - You guys need to get out there

and start looking for this stuff.

I don't see any green water.

We saw 45,000 gallons of water disappear.

It must be going somewhere rapidly.

Yeah, I think that it's time that we need

to get below the ground.

Every time that someone

does a major digging on this property,

then bad things happen.

You guys should take a look at kaleb's phone.

I don't have any control over it.

It just goes right past my pass code.

Something here is crying out for help.

Or is it giving us a warning?

A little more than eight hours

after digging down at the pit, this rectangular-shaped object

instantly vanished.

It was right there. Something yellow and goldish color.

That scared the out of me.

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.

Hey, dragon. What's going on?

We had some crazy stuff go down

that we all want to share with you.

Hey, Brandon. It's Travis, and, Kaleb

and the other guys j... Are just gonna jump in

as we go through the story.

But just after dark,

Kaleb actually heard something in the bushes.

Like, very near to us,

and it startled him enough that he jumped up.

- Kaleb you want to...? - I drew my pistol out

and I turned on... the flashlight on,

and I started looking... Going in the direction

of where I was hearing this, and it was behind

that old trailer and the-the canal bank there.

Right as we got even with the trailer,

there was something that was rectangular-shaped,

and it was shimmering yellowish-orange,

and when Kaleb shined his light on it,

it instantly vanished.

It didn't run off through the weeds,

it didn't fly off, it didn't go through the ground,

it didn't get in the creek.

It just, I mean, just... Suddenly it was there

and suddenly it wasn't.

Yeah.

There was this unmistakable

rectangular-shaped object

that was... may have been about two

to two and a half feet in length,

and maybe a foot or so in height.

And as Kaleb brings his pistol fully on the target,

it's like the light comes back at us

like it was off of a mirror.

And then the thing instantly vanished.

I find it interesting that an object could be

that close, right inside,

close here to the command center,

where we've got so many cameras, and we didn't pick anything up.

It was scary as hell.

And while we were walking back to the command center,

I say, "okay, guys, I'm going to go ahead"

"and turn my video off." within seconds

of me saying that, something flies across the sky

the southern... looking due south,

over the command center porch.

And something flies across the sky, and I'm like,

"my god, did y'all see that?"

Yeah, we,

looking-looking to the south,

from the east field, we caught several frames

of this thing streaking across the sky.

At first glance you might think

it's a-a meteorite or a shooting star.

Erik and I looked at it closely,

and it kind of has a different trajectory.

It's going more... Almost perfectly horizontal,

as opposed to coming down like a meteorite does

when it's, when it's on a trajectory impact course

with the earth.

Maybe that's a telltale sign that it's not a meteorite.

Sure.

Well, I would say that we need to emphasize

on finding out a way to get more data

on whatever this terrestrial ground phenomena was,

that we saw.

If it's a thing in a suit, we need to know that.

If it's a, some mother nature phenomenon,

we need to know that.

So, it could have been something that was humanoid,

but we didn't see any arms, legs, head, nothing.

All we saw was a rectangular,

shimmering yellow-orange-ish phenomenon.

All we can say is

we felt in fear.

We felt threatened, we felt we were in danger,

and that's what we got to think about.

I think we've always suspected

that we're being monitored.

You know, happening upon strange objects and phenomena

really speaks to the fact that we're not alone

on this ranch.

- Ok, we'll do it. - All right.

All right, thanks, Brandon. We'll talk to you soon.

Yeah, so, I'm anxious to get you to meet Travis.

I know that we're glad that you'd be willing to come out

and show us some of the stuff you found because, as you know,

it's a vast piece of property,

and trying to cover all that area

can be a little bit daunting.

Glad to contribute to the team,

and really excited to meet Travis.

I thought it was important that we bring in Ryan skinner,

who has spent years researching

not only the landscape of skinwalker ranch

but the surrounding area.

And he's documented in great detail aspects of the property.

As a result of exploring out here

was I became very familiar with these mesas and hillsides.

I'd have to say the strangest event that occurred to me was

I was out on the ranch, a ball of light came up

over one of these hillsides

and started coming directly towards me.

And immediately, a feeling of terror

unlike anything I've ever felt in my life before.

I dropped everything I had, my expensive camera,

all of my equipment, and started running back to the camp,

and this thing is now trailing me.

It was real, so I couldn't deny, I couldn't...

No matter how many times I went back in my head,

I couldn't rationalize it away. It really did happen.

I hope to give any kind of help and input I can,

and I want to help solve this mystery with the team.

- I think I know you two. - Ryan.

- Hey, Ryan. - Hey.

- Good to see you again. - Tom, nice seeing you again.

- Good to see you again. - Erik, what's going on man?

- Hey, man. Travis Taylor. - Travis, nice to meet you.

- Nice to meet you. - What's up, guys? - What's up, dragon?

So, Ryan what are you gonna show us?

I came across this, location.

It's up here on the mesa.

It might give us some direction as to what's behind all this.

- Okay. - Well, let's grab the utv

- and let's head up. - Okay. Sounds good.

To me what's exciting is the location of it.

You know, it just stood out,

and maybe it's gonna jump out to you guys as well.

You see that big large rock over there?

- That's where we're gonna aim for. - Okay.

So, it's on which ridge?

To the left of this big rock.

Right there, there's kind of those white...

Shapes.

You... the little squiggle lines and stuff?

- Is that what you're talking about? - Right. Yep.

I came out here a few years ago

and we did come across a pictograph

that I couldn't interpret.

I have no idea what it meant, but it really stood out

compared to the other rocks.

- This stuff is loose, y'all. - Be careful.

I believe the ancient people were aware

of whatever's happening to us right now.

They left us clues through their rock art

and I hope the team and myself can contribute to that mystery

in finding out some answers.

Guys, y'all got to get up here and see this.

How's you find this, Ryan?

I've been walking all throughout these cliffs

and looking at every... every rock face, looking for something

just like this, and this one jumped out.

We're halfway up the mesa on the northeastern corner

of skinwalker ranch,

and Ryan skinner, a person with a long history here,

has just shown us a really interesting petroglyph

on a rock face that none of us have ever seen before.

It looks like it may even be

a-all the way over there.

It looks like there might be a line there.

- Are you talking this right here? - Yeah. Yeah, yeah, yeah.

That right there is where I'm thinking..

It pokes out... I can't tell if it's the rock
