The Secret of Skinwalker Ranch

Boy, that thing sounds like it's hitting

-something hard. It could be...

maybe a dome.

There is something in the mesa right there.

Whatever this is is as tall as the mesa.

Whoa. What was that

purple light over there?

I'm gonna head down.

We need to know if this is

-a reaction to that rocket. -What is that?

Holy crap, it looks like it's following Thomas.

Looks like a deer. Look at this.

What the heck would have burned this post?

You know what it looks like? Like something just flew

right through it.

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.

When was the last time

you were at the ranch, Jay?

-Uh, about 11 years ago. -11 years ago.

A lot's changed in 11 years.

I bet a lot has changed.

Over the past couple of months our team

has experienced more unexplainable phenomena

on Skinwalker Ranch than ever before.

So, while we're working out a new strategy

to determine just what the two possibly metallic,

dome-shaped and vertical anomalies

we've discovered inside the mesa are,

I've decided it's time to invite a colleague of mine here

who has his own incredible history with the ranch--

Jay Stratton.

The first time you came out here,

you were probably pretty skeptical, as I was.

-I was 100% skeptical. -Me, too, man.

I didn't believe none of it.

Jay was not only

a career defense intelligence official

for the federal government,

but he was also my former boss

in the Unidentified Aerial Phenomena Task Force.

And, between 2007 and 2011, he helped create and run

a government program

with former Skinwalker Ranch owner Robert Bigelow

to investigate the bizarre phenomena

happening on the property.

So I came out 100% skeptical,

with the stories in mind,

but-but wanting to see something for myself,

and the ranch didn't disappoint.

Right.

I started working

this topic in 2005.

And I came into the topic because it was part of my job.

As the Chief of Air and Space Warfare

at the Defense Intelligence Agency,

I was dealing with threats to U.S. platforms

from foreign adversaries, highly technical capabilities.

I fell into a point where I had to get really smart on UFOs,

and there was nobody to turn to.

So I kind of became that guy,

not by design, not-not something I was looking for.

I've briefed and provided written assessments

all the way to the highest levels

of the executive branch and the legislative branch.

I like to think I've got a little bit

of credibility on this topic.

2007, we built this contractual relationship

with Mr. Robert Bigelow,

and the ranch became a contracted

Defense Intelligence Agency observation point.

And I came out here to see things firsthand in 2009.

Over those years, I've seen a lot of things I can't explain.

And I'm out here again to do this research

and hopefully better understand this phenomena.

It did take a lot of thought

and discussion with the family

if I would do this again,

just because of all the activity

and everything else that's out here, you know?

-Right. -There's-there's a risk,

but to me

the investigation is more important

and too important, so I really want to

continue down that path of trying to get answers.

There is an accepted risk in coming out here.

You know, no one knows what could happen.

We're about to move into

-the ranch property here. All right.

This sounds crazy, but the ranch

reacts differently to me than it does others.

Some people have a lot of reaction out here

and some have none.

I really had to consider that

and talk to my wife and talk to my kids.

You know, I feel the same.

I think that there's a moral imperative to this.

I think this is

extremely important and could be

one of the most important things

in human history.

Absolutely.

The ranch itself has been a big part of my life.

It's because of the ranch that Travis and I came together

in a small room in the Pentagon to talk about the phenomenon,

and we really accomplished a lot in a short period of time.

We see each other as-as valued teammates.

We enjoy working together.

We think we can do some really good things together.

All right,

so we're going to get out and we'll take you in

-and show you the command center. -Cool.

I want you all to meet Jay Stratton.

Good to meet you. Welcome back.

So, I've told them all about you, of course.

So, what I'd like to hear

is what events happened when you were here

that you can describe in as much detail as you can,

so we can determine if we've seen similar events.

Absolutely.

And have similar data that compares to what you've seen.

So, when I came out here, the first-first trip

out here, I was standing out,

uh, kind of in the triangle area,

was just randomly taking photographs and things.

Lo and behold, right over

the mesa, there was

an aircraft, craft or whatever you want to call it.

UAP, now I would say, uh, which I-I coined that term.

What? You gave us that term.

-So, I created "UAP." -Yes, you can blame Jay for that, right?

-I didn't know that. Because I needed to

get people away from "UFO"

because of the connotations of little green men.

So, you know, standing there, looking up,

and over the mesa was this dart-like craft,

I call it like a really tight triangle,

uh, kind of, kind of coming in.

He was level the whole time,

and shot across, and I lost track of it.

During our investigation

here on Skinwalker Ranch,

we've seen a number of UAPs appear

and disappear in the skies over the property.

But two years ago,

we saw one right above the mesa

that sounds a lot like what Jay witnessed.

Hey, wait, wait, wait, wait.

What is that right there? Right... Yeah.

You seeing that? -Yes, yeah.

-Back up a couple frames. All right.

You guys see? Look. Right here. See this?

What is that? I don't know yet.

It appears there and then right there, right above the mesa.

Right above the mesa.

Could we be seeing

the same kind of phenomena that Jay

and members of the Bigelow team experienced back in 2009?

The similarities are striking.

And another example,

I think it was around 11:30

at night. As we were out

on that back deck one time, I think there were four of us,

playing with a laser and doing other things.

Uh, you know it was late and, uh,

we observed a light on the mesa,

with none of us doing anything.

It was about the same spot where we had the laser.

And I don't remember

exactly who saw what, but one of us saw a circle,

one saw a triangle, one saw a square, you know.

You're seeing different shapes.

There may be a physiological explanation

for that, I don't know, but we all saw

distinctly different shapes

of that same light. It's like it's

giving a demonstration for each one of us separately.

Since I joined this investigation,

the mesa has been a major hot spot

of unexplainable phenomena.

For example, back in 2018...

...Erik Bard captured surveillance footage

of some very bizarre lights moving across the mesa,

and even a beam of light emitting from it.

Again, I think it was around 11:30 at night,

and three of us were walking down a path

joking with each other.

All of a sudden, we got quiet,

and that's because we got to a point,

and we could feel the temperature change.
