1
00:00:02,042 --> 00:00:03,726
Make some dust and
put some metal in the air.

2
00:00:03,750 --> 00:00:05,417
This is our most advanced technology.

3
00:00:05,583 --> 00:00:07,184
What we're doing is
taking an X-ray of the ranch.

4
00:00:07,208 --> 00:00:10,167
This hotspot here, over the triangle,

5
00:00:10,375 --> 00:00:14,167
this is about 10,000 times
above the normal level

6
00:00:14,333 --> 00:00:15,333
in the environment.

7
00:00:15,458 --> 00:00:16,750
Whoa, whoa, whoa.

8
00:00:16,917 --> 00:00:18,667
What is this?

9
00:00:18,875 --> 00:00:21,083
Here we have an object
that certainly is moving fast.

10
00:00:21,250 --> 00:00:23,042
Look at that!

11
00:00:23,208 --> 00:00:25,167
Whoa, whoa, whoa,
whoa, whoa. We got metal.

12
00:00:25,375 --> 00:00:27,750
It's layered, Erik. Look like

13
00:00:27,875 --> 00:00:29,315
the same stuff that we found before?

14
00:00:29,417 --> 00:00:30,750
Yes.

15
00:00:30,917 --> 00:00:32,351
Took me about two and a half hours

16
00:00:32,375 --> 00:00:33,667
to get through that 45 inches.

17
00:00:33,792 --> 00:00:35,208
So, it was about four-foot thick

18
00:00:35,375 --> 00:00:37,958
of something so hard
that it destroyed this bit?

19
00:00:38,125 --> 00:00:40,083
- Yeah.
- God!

20
00:00:42,542 --> 00:00:45,958
There is a ranch in northern Utah.

21
00:00:46,125 --> 00:00:48,792
It is considered the epicenter

22
00:00:48,958 --> 00:00:54,000
of the strangest and most
disturbing occurrences on earth.

23
00:00:54,125 --> 00:00:57,167
For two decades, the federal government

24
00:00:57,333 --> 00:00:59,333
investigated the property.

25
00:00:59,458 --> 00:01:02,958
Their findings have
never been made public.

26
00:01:03,125 --> 00:01:04,351
Right there! We got something!

27
00:01:04,375 --> 00:01:06,250
Now a new team

28
00:01:06,458 --> 00:01:08,917
of independent
scientists and researchers

29
00:01:09,042 --> 00:01:10,375
are taking over.

30
00:01:10,875 --> 00:01:12,125
They are uncovering evidence

31
00:01:12,292 --> 00:01:14,167
that the countless stories...

32
00:01:14,292 --> 00:01:16,083
It came right out of the mesa.

33
00:01:16,250 --> 00:01:18,667
Of unidentified aerial phenomena...

34
00:01:18,833 --> 00:01:20,083
- Uap right there!
- Yep.

35
00:01:20,208 --> 00:01:21,708
Bizarre energies...

36
00:01:21,917 --> 00:01:23,851
It looks like there's a heat
source right above 'em.

37
00:01:23,875 --> 00:01:26,750
And portals that lead
to other dimensions...

38
00:01:26,875 --> 00:01:27,893
We're maybe looking at the anomaly

39
00:01:27,917 --> 00:01:29,292
for the first time, guys.

40
00:01:29,458 --> 00:01:31,958
Might actually be true.

41
00:01:32,125 --> 00:01:34,667
They will stop at nothing to reveal

42
00:01:37,375 --> 00:01:41,042
the secret of skin walker ranch.

43
00:01:43,000 --> 00:01:49,074



44
00:01:50,208 --> 00:01:53,333
Hey, guys, you copy
down there at the tent?

45
00:01:53,542 --> 00:01:55,167
That's Thomas.

46
00:01:55,375 --> 00:01:58,250
Yeah, Thomas. What do you got?

47
00:01:58,417 --> 00:02:00,417
They're drilling pretty good right now.

48
00:02:00,542 --> 00:02:03,375
Almost 340 feet into borehole 2.

49
00:02:03,542 --> 00:02:05,125
We're gonna head up to the mesa

50
00:02:05,292 --> 00:02:06,667
and monitor their progress.

51
00:02:06,875 --> 00:02:08,583
Copy that. Just keep us posted.

52
00:02:08,708 --> 00:02:10,417
This morning,

53
00:02:10,583 --> 00:02:12,667
things on skin walker
ranch appeared to be going

54
00:02:12,875 --> 00:02:14,500
a lot better than usual

55
00:02:14,708 --> 00:02:16,708
with our drilling
operation out at the mesa.

56
00:02:16,875 --> 00:02:20,083
The team had gotten more than
halfway up through the second

57
00:02:20,208 --> 00:02:22,167
of two boreholes that are positioned

58
00:02:22,375 --> 00:02:26,167
on either side of a massive,
potentially metallic object,

59
00:02:26,375 --> 00:02:29,208
which is surrounded by
several smaller anomalies.

60
00:02:29,417 --> 00:02:31,708
So, once borehole 2 is finished,

61
00:02:31,875 --> 00:02:35,000
we can insert scanning
devices into both boreholes,

62
00:02:35,167 --> 00:02:36,542
and hopefully, identify

63
00:02:36,708 --> 00:02:39,125
what these potential objects could be.

64
00:02:50,042 --> 00:02:51,417
Hey, guys, you seeing this?

65
00:02:51,583 --> 00:02:53,023
There's a low-flying plane out here.

66
00:02:53,125 --> 00:02:54,917
Well, look right there.

67
00:02:58,750 --> 00:03:00,250
- There's a plane?
- Yeah, Chris.

68
00:03:00,417 --> 00:03:03,292
I thought I just heard it.

69
00:03:05,625 --> 00:03:06,667
Man, he's low!

70
00:03:09,333 --> 00:03:10,708
What have they got?

71
00:03:10,833 --> 00:03:14,208
I think it's like a
single-engine, civilian plane.

72
00:03:14,375 --> 00:03:16,542
What are they doing?

73
00:03:17,958 --> 00:03:20,250
You getting anything on the ads-b?

74
00:03:20,417 --> 00:03:22,250
I'm not showing anything.

75
00:03:22,375 --> 00:03:24,417
Whoever it is, their transmitter's off.

76
00:03:25,958 --> 00:03:27,292
How far out is it?

77
00:03:27,417 --> 00:03:28,792
I mean, it's right over the mesa.

78
00:03:28,958 --> 00:03:30,417
Couple hundred feet.

79
00:03:30,583 --> 00:03:32,583
Okay.

80
00:03:34,792 --> 00:03:36,292
Definitely watching us,

81
00:03:36,458 --> 00:03:38,958
- whoever he is.
- Yeah, the question is,

82
00:03:39,125 --> 00:03:41,833
is it lookie-loos, or is it somebody

83
00:03:42,042 --> 00:03:44,250
doing something more nefarious?

84
00:03:44,417 --> 00:03:47,875
It was really suspicious
that this small, civilian plane

85
00:03:48,042 --> 00:03:49,958
was not only circling
very low over the ranch,

86
00:03:50,125 --> 00:03:53,708
but also had their identifying
transmitter turned off.

87
00:03:54,500 --> 00:03:56,458
I got it on camera.

88
00:03:56,583 --> 00:03:58,833
It's definitely changing course.

89
00:03:59,042 --> 00:04:01,417
Over the past few years, we've seen

90
00:04:01,542 --> 00:04:05,333
not only private planes but
also numerous military aircraft

91
00:04:05,500 --> 00:04:07,125
that showed up out of nowhere

92
00:04:07,292 --> 00:04:09,172
during our experiments
and drilling operations.

93
00:04:10,417 --> 00:04:12,333
Helicopter coming right over!

94
00:04:12,542 --> 00:04:14,667
They'd circle really
low for several minutes

95
00:04:14,875 --> 00:04:16,833
and then just bug out.

96
00:04:16,958 --> 00:04:20,333
And they would never have
their identifying transmitters on,

97
00:04:20,458 --> 00:04:23,375
which they are legally
required to broadcast.

98
00:04:25,083 --> 00:04:26,917
What? What is that signal?

99
00:04:27,042 --> 00:04:28,250
And just last year,

100
00:04:28,417 --> 00:04:30,167
while we were monitoring the drilling

101
00:04:30,333 --> 00:04:32,250
of borehole 1 with our
spectrum analyzers,

102
00:04:32,458 --> 00:04:36,333
Erik and I detected a
signal near 900 megahertz,

103
00:04:36,500 --> 00:04:38,875
which is the same
frequency signal emitted

104
00:04:39,042 --> 00:04:41,125
by lorawan devices.

105
00:04:41,333 --> 00:04:44,458
That stands for "long
range wide area network."

106
00:04:44,625 --> 00:04:46,667
And these are tiny
instruments that are used

107
00:04:46,833 --> 00:04:49,292
for conducting secret
surveillance operations

108
00:04:49,458 --> 00:04:51,292
and could easily be dropped

109
00:04:51,417 --> 00:04:54,500
from a low-flying plane just like this one.

110
00:04:55,458 --> 00:04:57,125
Looks like it's headed out.

111
00:04:57,250 --> 00:04:59,750
Are you able to still see it?

112
00:04:59,958 --> 00:05:02,500
I see it leaving, heading west.

113
00:05:02,708 --> 00:05:05,500
Yeah, thanks for the heads-up, Chris.

114
00:05:05,708 --> 00:05:07,667
Not a problem.

115
00:05:08,708 --> 00:05:11,059
Hey, guys, do you guys have
a copy down there at the tent?

116
00:05:11,083 --> 00:05:12,708
Yeah, man. Go ahead.

117
00:05:12,875 --> 00:05:14,583
Kyle and I are going to head up

118
00:05:14,750 --> 00:05:16,518
to the top of the mesa and
check on the status of the drill.

119
00:05:16,542 --> 00:05:18,684
Copy that. Just keep us posted.

120
00:05:18,708 --> 00:05:20,833
Based on this plane's maneuvers,

121
00:05:20,958 --> 00:05:24,333
it really made us wonder
if we were being spied on.

122
00:05:24,500 --> 00:05:26,500
But if that's the case, is it because

123
00:05:26,667 --> 00:05:29,500
we're investigating what's
buried inside the mesa?

124
00:05:29,667 --> 00:05:31,708
Do you guys copy?

125
00:05:33,375 --> 00:05:34,875
Yeah, Thomas. Go ahead.

126
00:05:35,083 --> 00:05:37,792
Up here on top with Kyle.

127
00:05:37,958 --> 00:05:41,375
Drill bit's hit something
extremely hard again.

128
00:05:41,542 --> 00:05:45,833
And for some reason, the
beacon signal started to spread.

129
00:05:46,000 --> 00:05:47,625
The data's grossly inaccurate,

130
00:05:47,792 --> 00:05:51,250
telling him that the
bit is far left or far right

131
00:05:51,417 --> 00:05:53,208
of where he knows it's at.

132
00:05:53,375 --> 00:05:56,583
At this point, they're
pretty much drilling blind.

133
00:05:57,583 --> 00:05:58,958
Yeah, Thomas. I was beginning

134
00:05:59,125 --> 00:06:00,833
to wonder about that because,

135
00:06:01,042 --> 00:06:03,667
I'm watching the beacon
signal on the spectrum analyzer,

136
00:06:03,833 --> 00:06:07,708
and it's spread completely
out from what it usually is.

137
00:06:07,875 --> 00:06:09,458
So, I bet it's having a hard time

138
00:06:09,583 --> 00:06:11,542
figuring out where they are.

139
00:06:11,667 --> 00:06:14,500
The way that this beacon
and receiver work is,

140
00:06:14,708 --> 00:06:17,500
the beacon's in the drill bit
transmitting a targeted signal,

141
00:06:17,667 --> 00:06:20,792
and the signal strength
allows the operator

142
00:06:20,958 --> 00:06:25,417
to know exactly where that drill bit is at.

143
00:06:25,583 --> 00:06:28,708
But the signal on this beacon
is spreading across the mesa.

144
00:06:28,875 --> 00:06:31,125
What this does is make
it almost impossible

145
00:06:31,292 --> 00:06:33,333
for him to track this beacon signal.

146
00:06:33,500 --> 00:06:36,167
Whatever it is inside the mesa continues

147
00:06:36,375 --> 00:06:37,833
to give us so many problems

148
00:06:38,042 --> 00:06:40,333
as we try to get this
second hole completed.

149
00:06:40,542 --> 00:06:41,917
That's weird though, man, that

150
00:06:42,042 --> 00:06:44,333
I mean, I'm seeing it. The
signal's spread way out,

151
00:06:44,542 --> 00:06:47,500
and usually it's just one
peak there in the middle.

152
00:06:48,542 --> 00:06:50,559
During the drilling of both boreholes,

153
00:06:50,583 --> 00:06:53,000
hard obstructions have
been hit multiple times

154
00:06:53,208 --> 00:06:55,458
that caused the drilling
beacon to malfunction.

155
00:06:56,500 --> 00:06:57,708
Look at that.

156
00:06:57,917 --> 00:06:59,333
And even crazier is that

157
00:06:59,458 --> 00:07:01,417
we've found manufactured
metal fragments

158
00:07:01,542 --> 00:07:04,500
in the drilling spoils
that are similar in design

159
00:07:04,667 --> 00:07:06,292
to the ceramic heat tiles that are used

160
00:07:06,458 --> 00:07:08,167
to protect our spacecraft.

161
00:07:08,333 --> 00:07:10,333
So, what in the hell is in that mesa?

162
00:07:10,500 --> 00:07:13,292
And is that why we keep
seeing strange civilian

163
00:07:13,458 --> 00:07:15,917
and military aircraft
buzzing around the ranch?

164
00:07:17,042 --> 00:07:20,083
I'm gonna go... Check in down below.

165
00:07:21,625 --> 00:07:23,542
- Keep at it.
- We'll keep pressing forward.

166
00:07:32,625 --> 00:07:34,333
Yeah, come on in, guys.

167
00:07:34,500 --> 00:07:36,667
We had hoped that would be the end

168
00:07:36,875 --> 00:07:39,000
of the unsettling weirdness of the day...

169
00:07:39,167 --> 00:07:41,518
Y'all are not going to believe
what I've got to tell you.

170
00:07:41,542 --> 00:07:43,167
This is very chilling.

171
00:07:43,333 --> 00:07:45,750
But it was only the beginning.

172
00:07:45,958 --> 00:07:48,667
So, you know I have
these cameras in here

173
00:07:48,833 --> 00:07:50,393
in case something were to happen here,

174
00:07:50,417 --> 00:07:51,917
and right outside, there are cameras.

175
00:07:52,083 --> 00:07:56,875
- Sure.
- Well, something happened

176
00:07:57,000 --> 00:08:01,500
at a specific time where
all of them were disabled.

177
00:08:01,667 --> 00:08:06,000
And video recorded
on them was captured,

178
00:08:06,125 --> 00:08:09,518
but it was sent somewhere else, and...

179
00:08:09,542 --> 00:08:10,833
We didn't do it.

180
00:08:13,750 --> 00:08:15,833
I keep surveillance
cameras running outside

181
00:08:16,042 --> 00:08:18,583
my trailer near the
command center to document

182
00:08:18,750 --> 00:08:20,917
anything out of the ordinary

183
00:08:21,083 --> 00:08:23,125
on this part of the ranch,
and they are hardwired

184
00:08:23,292 --> 00:08:25,125
to a computer in my trailer.

185
00:08:25,250 --> 00:08:29,000
They're not on Wi-Fi or linked
to any kind of external network.

186
00:08:29,125 --> 00:08:32,167
So, the only way I could
think this was possible,

187
00:08:32,292 --> 00:08:36,708
was if someone did it
manually from inside my trailer.

188
00:08:36,875 --> 00:08:38,792
How much data was on there?

189
00:08:38,917 --> 00:08:39,917
A lot.

190
00:08:41,000 --> 00:08:42,917
Look at this page here.

191
00:08:43,083 --> 00:08:44,667
Fortunately, we had a screen capture

192
00:08:44,875 --> 00:08:46,708
of the data as it was happening.

193
00:08:46,875 --> 00:08:48,000
Okay.

194
00:08:49,208 --> 00:08:52,083
There you can see the
cameras outside, right?

195
00:08:52,292 --> 00:08:55,708
- Sure.
- And then... they start going out.

196
00:08:55,875 --> 00:08:57,000
Right there.

197
00:08:57,208 --> 00:08:58,500
Look right here.

198
00:09:00,083 --> 00:09:02,917
All of them just quit at this time stamp.

199
00:09:04,458 --> 00:09:06,500
Now, look right here.

200
00:09:06,625 --> 00:09:10,833
The hard drive was
recording, currently working,

201
00:09:11,042 --> 00:09:14,125
then suddenly, it got a reboot flag.

202
00:09:14,250 --> 00:09:15,500
Then it shut down.

203
00:09:15,708 --> 00:09:19,458
And then, channels
five, six, two and three

204
00:09:19,625 --> 00:09:21,917
were user logged out.

205
00:09:24,208 --> 00:09:25,667
And look at this.

206
00:09:25,833 --> 00:09:27,708
They've made these
changes four seconds apart.

207
00:09:29,958 --> 00:09:32,083
You can't physically open the menu

208
00:09:32,208 --> 00:09:34,125
and do that in four seconds.

209
00:09:34,333 --> 00:09:36,417
Yeah, okay.

210
00:09:36,583 --> 00:09:37,823
You have to go through this box

211
00:09:37,958 --> 00:09:39,667
and download the video from this box

212
00:09:39,875 --> 00:09:41,292
with a thumb drive right here.

213
00:09:43,000 --> 00:09:44,875
Which means somebody
had to do what I'm doing

214
00:09:45,042 --> 00:09:47,250
to this thing, connect
to it with a computer,

215
00:09:47,375 --> 00:09:50,167
hardwired connect it, to log out.

216
00:09:51,167 --> 00:09:53,500
Whoever this user was that logged out

217
00:09:53,667 --> 00:09:56,792
those cameras, went in
and disabled those cameras.

218
00:09:56,958 --> 00:09:59,833
Something is hacking this device.

219
00:10:07,042 --> 00:10:09,667
Something is hacking this device.

220
00:10:09,875 --> 00:10:13,583
Whoever this user was that
logged out those cameras,

221
00:10:13,750 --> 00:10:15,750
went in and disabled those cameras.

222
00:10:15,875 --> 00:10:18,667
What you're telling me,
there's like deliberate

223
00:10:18,833 --> 00:10:20,417
choices being made here.

224
00:10:20,583 --> 00:10:21,983
There's a mode change that requires

225
00:10:22,167 --> 00:10:23,792
intelligent interaction

226
00:10:24,000 --> 00:10:25,500
- with the device.
- That's my guess.

227
00:10:25,708 --> 00:10:28,500
I have no idea how someone could have

228
00:10:28,667 --> 00:10:31,000
hacked into the cameras
watching my trailer

229
00:10:31,125 --> 00:10:33,375
since they aren't
connected to the Internet.

230
00:10:33,542 --> 00:10:36,167
But somehow, that's
exactly what happened.

231
00:10:36,333 --> 00:10:37,833
That's not all.

232
00:10:37,958 --> 00:10:40,083
This is the part that really freaks me out.

233
00:10:41,750 --> 00:10:43,667
You see this is the
current working hard drive,

234
00:10:43,875 --> 00:10:46,333
- right?
- Yup.

235
00:10:46,500 --> 00:10:49,958
So, while all the things
were user logged out,

236
00:10:50,083 --> 00:10:52,292
the data was sent somewhere else.

237
00:10:54,750 --> 00:10:58,875
Somebody is recording the
video from these cameras.

238
00:10:59,917 --> 00:11:01,750
When you have a
surveillance system that is

239
00:11:01,917 --> 00:11:03,583
potentially being hacked into,

240
00:11:03,708 --> 00:11:07,375
the question is what kind of technology,

241
00:11:07,542 --> 00:11:09,958
what level of sophistication is required

242
00:11:10,125 --> 00:11:12,333
in order to gain access to an air-gapped,

243
00:11:12,542 --> 00:11:16,500
otherwise completely secure,
isolated surveillance system?

244
00:11:16,708 --> 00:11:18,917
It's very methodical.

245
00:11:19,917 --> 00:11:23,208
Somebody had to use
a device to talk to this

246
00:11:23,375 --> 00:11:25,495
- while it's sitting in here.
- Now that is chilling.

247
00:11:25,583 --> 00:11:27,625
Could be a lorawan device.

248
00:11:27,792 --> 00:11:33,292
We have... suspected that
things are being dropped

249
00:11:33,500 --> 00:11:37,167
from a low-flying
plane, helicopter... yeah.

250
00:11:37,375 --> 00:11:40,458
There was a plane that
just came over the ranch.

251
00:11:40,625 --> 00:11:41,750
Yeah, we've had a few.

252
00:11:41,875 --> 00:11:45,667
What if somebody dropped
lorawan sensors on the ranch,

253
00:11:45,875 --> 00:11:49,417
hack into it and take over the software?

254
00:11:49,542 --> 00:11:52,667
I know you guys weren't
expecting to hear this

255
00:11:52,792 --> 00:11:54,101
- when you came over here.
- No.

256
00:11:54,125 --> 00:11:56,583
But, I mean, I think this could

257
00:11:56,750 --> 00:12:00,042
be extremely important
from one or two ways, right?

258
00:12:00,208 --> 00:12:04,167
One, if somebody's
spying on us, who and why?

259
00:12:04,333 --> 00:12:05,333
And how?

260
00:12:06,708 --> 00:12:09,667
Two, if it's some thing is spying on us

261
00:12:09,833 --> 00:12:14,167
then what is that something
and how and why, right?

262
00:12:14,375 --> 00:12:15,833
And what else is it doing?

263
00:12:16,042 --> 00:12:18,667
- And what else is it doing?
- Yeah.

264
00:12:18,875 --> 00:12:21,458
Even if someone figured out a way

265
00:12:21,625 --> 00:12:23,292
to remotely hack into this system,

266
00:12:23,458 --> 00:12:26,542
the speed at which all
this took place is beyond

267
00:12:26,708 --> 00:12:29,167
any technology that
any of us could think of.

268
00:12:29,375 --> 00:12:32,351
So, seriously, who or
what could have done this?

269
00:12:32,375 --> 00:12:35,167
You know, I'd like to
leave this in a configuration

270
00:12:35,333 --> 00:12:37,833
where, if it happens again,
we might get those fingerprints.

271
00:12:38,000 --> 00:12:39,309
We might be able to
trace those fingerprints

272
00:12:39,333 --> 00:12:42,125
back to a finger, and the
finger back to its owner.

273
00:12:42,292 --> 00:12:43,393
Yeah. I'm really creeped out about this.

274
00:12:43,417 --> 00:12:44,833
Yeah.

275
00:12:45,000 --> 00:12:46,351
We've really got to get to the bottom of

276
00:12:46,375 --> 00:12:51,667
is this... is this a hacker
or something else?

277
00:12:51,833 --> 00:12:53,833
Yeah, that's a lot to think about.

278
00:12:54,000 --> 00:12:56,125
All right. Great, guys.

279
00:13:04,500 --> 00:13:06,125
Thomas, you got a copy?

280
00:13:06,250 --> 00:13:08,417
I do, Alex. Go ahead.

281
00:13:10,667 --> 00:13:12,792
Running into, some issues over here.

282
00:13:13,000 --> 00:13:14,292
I'm going to have to pull out.

283
00:13:17,208 --> 00:13:18,375
10-4.

284
00:13:18,542 --> 00:13:20,083
The next day,

285
00:13:20,250 --> 00:13:22,184
as the drilling operation
continued at the mesa,

286
00:13:22,208 --> 00:13:24,667
Thomas Winterton was dealing
with another strange problem

287
00:13:24,875 --> 00:13:26,417
in borehole 2.

288
00:13:28,042 --> 00:13:29,708
You say you're pulling out?

289
00:13:29,875 --> 00:13:31,917
- Yeah.
- What's the problem?

290
00:13:32,042 --> 00:13:34,500
Yesterday, I was cutting
through this hard spot

291
00:13:34,667 --> 00:13:36,542
around 380 feet in.

292
00:13:36,708 --> 00:13:40,417
- Right.
- And then I hit this spot, 470 foot in,

293
00:13:40,583 --> 00:13:41,875
and I hit something.

294
00:13:42,042 --> 00:13:45,708
Took me every bit of two and a half hours

295
00:13:45,875 --> 00:13:48,500
to get 67 inches, and
I'm not moving at all now.

296
00:13:48,625 --> 00:13:51,518
And it's not even biting,
it's just rotating smoothly.

297
00:13:51,542 --> 00:13:53,500
Well, shoot.

298
00:13:53,625 --> 00:13:55,458
I'll... I won't delay you anymore,

299
00:13:55,583 --> 00:13:56,833
I'll let you get the pipe out.

300
00:13:57,042 --> 00:13:58,601
I'm going to go over to the spoils pit

301
00:13:58,625 --> 00:14:00,167
and see if that bit is damaged

302
00:14:00,292 --> 00:14:02,083
- when it comes out of the hole.
- Okay.

303
00:14:05,667 --> 00:14:08,500
The drillers experienced
so many issues drilling

304
00:14:08,625 --> 00:14:10,333
on our second hole.

305
00:14:10,500 --> 00:14:14,667
And now, whatever we're running
up against is extremely hard.

306
00:14:14,833 --> 00:14:17,042
It really makes me
wonder, what's making it

307
00:14:17,208 --> 00:14:19,167
so hard for them to drill into the mesa?

308
00:14:19,375 --> 00:14:20,917
There it is.

309
00:14:22,833 --> 00:14:24,250
My gosh.

310
00:14:24,417 --> 00:14:27,708
Only one tooth on that bit is worn down.

311
00:14:27,875 --> 00:14:29,393
The way that you
guys were describing it,

312
00:14:29,417 --> 00:14:31,583
I thought the teeth
would have popped off

313
00:14:31,750 --> 00:14:34,208
or been wore down to a nub.

314
00:14:34,375 --> 00:14:37,500
That's exactly what
should have happened.

315
00:14:39,875 --> 00:14:41,500
That's got all the teeth.

316
00:14:41,708 --> 00:14:43,042
That cutting side one,

317
00:14:43,208 --> 00:14:45,250
the inside's off of it a little bit.

318
00:14:45,375 --> 00:14:46,768
Well, I don't know what
I could have been into.

319
00:14:46,792 --> 00:14:48,083
I was not moving at all.

320
00:14:48,208 --> 00:14:50,417
And it was acting almost bald.

321
00:14:50,542 --> 00:14:52,393
It felt like I didn't have
any teeth on the end at all.

322
00:14:52,417 --> 00:14:54,417
It makes kind of a screeching noise,

323
00:14:54,583 --> 00:14:56,958
like if you're rubbing a
knife on a plate or something.

324
00:14:57,125 --> 00:14:58,583
Something smooth.

325
00:14:58,750 --> 00:15:00,125
And that would usually be

326
00:15:00,250 --> 00:15:01,684
when there's no teeth
on the end of that bit.

327
00:15:01,708 --> 00:15:03,125
I am absolutely shocked.

328
00:15:03,333 --> 00:15:05,213
Because this drill bit
isn't seriously damaged,

329
00:15:05,375 --> 00:15:07,042
it leaves me with a lot of questions

330
00:15:07,208 --> 00:15:10,500
as to what was so hard that this drill bit

331
00:15:10,667 --> 00:15:11,875
couldn't drill through?

332
00:15:12,042 --> 00:15:13,958
Is he drilling up against

333
00:15:14,167 --> 00:15:16,792
those anomalies that the gpr
data shows buried in the mesa?

334
00:15:17,000 --> 00:15:19,167
Does this mean that we're drilling into

335
00:15:19,333 --> 00:15:21,333
some type of metallic object?

336
00:15:21,542 --> 00:15:23,292
Or is it something else that's causing

337
00:15:23,458 --> 00:15:26,000
this strange behavior with the drill?

338
00:15:26,167 --> 00:15:29,375
I'll get out of your way and let
you guys get this changed out.

339
00:15:29,542 --> 00:15:32,042
Yeah, we'll change out these
bits and I'll keep you updated.

340
00:15:33,208 --> 00:15:34,667
Okay. Thanks, guys.

341
00:15:40,542 --> 00:15:41,542
Hey, guys.

342
00:15:41,667 --> 00:15:42,833
Hey, how you doing?

343
00:15:43,000 --> 00:15:44,333
Later that day, while

344
00:15:44,458 --> 00:15:46,000
the drilling operation continued,

345
00:15:46,167 --> 00:15:48,000
we all met with biologist Ben woodruff

346
00:15:48,125 --> 00:15:49,667
in the command center.

347
00:15:49,875 --> 00:15:53,333
Well, I understand you guys
have had a chance to review

348
00:15:53,500 --> 00:15:54,667
the trail cam footage.

349
00:15:54,875 --> 00:15:56,000
Yeah.

350
00:15:56,167 --> 00:15:57,417
We are set.

351
00:15:57,583 --> 00:15:58,917
- That's great.
- Awesome.

352
00:15:59,125 --> 00:16:00,750
Earlier this summer,

353
00:16:00,917 --> 00:16:02,750
Ben helped us install
some new game cameras

354
00:16:02,958 --> 00:16:06,792
around the ranch to look
out for anything strange.

355
00:16:07,000 --> 00:16:08,458
I've sent the files over to Erik,

356
00:16:08,583 --> 00:16:09,667
so we can pull those up.

357
00:16:09,875 --> 00:16:11,917
- Sure.
- So, given all

358
00:16:12,042 --> 00:16:15,167
the crazy uap phenomena
we regularly see out here,

359
00:16:15,292 --> 00:16:18,000
and the recent hack
of my trailer cameras,

360
00:16:18,125 --> 00:16:19,792
we couldn't wait to check out

361
00:16:19,958 --> 00:16:22,167
what Ben found in the game cam videos.

362
00:16:22,375 --> 00:16:24,208
You've got to understand, actually,

363
00:16:24,417 --> 00:16:25,958
that this area is in a drought,

364
00:16:26,125 --> 00:16:28,167
and it has been for a number of years,

365
00:16:28,375 --> 00:16:30,833
and there has not been
a lot of life on this ranch.

366
00:16:30,958 --> 00:16:33,500
And all of the sudden, this
year, it's exploded with life.

367
00:16:33,625 --> 00:16:35,833
Lots of animals pass through here.

368
00:16:36,000 --> 00:16:38,250
- Okay.
- Let's, start off

369
00:16:38,417 --> 00:16:40,292
- with looking at the turkeys.
- Okay.

370
00:16:40,458 --> 00:16:43,208
There are so many turkeys on this ranch,

371
00:16:43,375 --> 00:16:45,417
and they're second clutch turkeys,

372
00:16:45,583 --> 00:16:48,208
which means, they've
raised a full clutch of young

373
00:16:48,333 --> 00:16:50,125
that have reached sub-adulthood,

374
00:16:50,250 --> 00:16:52,226
and then they have gone
ahead and had a second clutch.

375
00:16:52,250 --> 00:16:55,208
Let's take a look at the next one.

376
00:16:55,375 --> 00:16:57,917
So, this is a pretty standard coyote.

377
00:16:58,042 --> 00:17:00,458
It's very long, very skinny,

378
00:17:00,625 --> 00:17:02,333
very narrow-faced. It's what you'd expect.

379
00:17:02,500 --> 00:17:04,917
- Okay.
- So, this one's strange.

380
00:17:05,042 --> 00:17:06,667
Really blows my mind.

381
00:17:07,708 --> 00:17:09,875
This is video recorded in the field

382
00:17:10,000 --> 00:17:12,167
- south of the drill site?
- Yeah.

383
00:17:12,375 --> 00:17:13,667
So, the elk on the ranch,

384
00:17:13,875 --> 00:17:15,226
and some of the other animals, too

385
00:17:15,250 --> 00:17:17,417
look at the face of this elk.

386
00:17:19,542 --> 00:17:21,309
There's these white
spots all over the face.

387
00:17:21,333 --> 00:17:24,083
These look like boils or burns

388
00:17:24,250 --> 00:17:25,708
where the skin has just died.

389
00:17:25,875 --> 00:17:27,292
Yeah. You can see them then.

390
00:17:27,458 --> 00:17:29,500
- Yeah, see that?
- Yeah.

391
00:17:29,667 --> 00:17:32,000
What about any kind of
diseases or anything like that?

392
00:17:32,208 --> 00:17:33,268
It's possible.

393
00:17:33,292 --> 00:17:34,518
The things that I researched,

394
00:17:34,542 --> 00:17:36,125
I couldn't find anything that would

395
00:17:36,250 --> 00:17:37,351
correspond with that, 'cause they all look

396
00:17:37,375 --> 00:17:39,667
- really healthy otherwise.
- Yeah.

397
00:17:39,875 --> 00:17:42,143
It's not chronic wasting
disease, it's nothing like that.

398
00:17:42,167 --> 00:17:44,625
There's these patches
where, all over the face,

399
00:17:44,750 --> 00:17:46,250
it just looks like burn marks.

400
00:17:46,417 --> 00:17:48,583
I don't know what could
cause that sort of a burn.

401
00:17:48,750 --> 00:17:50,875
I haven't seen anything like this before.

402
00:17:51,042 --> 00:17:53,083
Could that be from radiation?

403
00:17:54,667 --> 00:17:56,292
Wow.

404
00:18:02,125 --> 00:18:04,833
I don't know what could
cause that sort of a burn.

405
00:18:05,042 --> 00:18:06,682
I haven't seen anything like this before.

406
00:18:07,750 --> 00:18:08,976
Could that be from radiation?

407
00:18:09,000 --> 00:18:11,292
You know, who knows?

408
00:18:11,417 --> 00:18:13,833
This new game camera
video that Ben woodruff

409
00:18:14,042 --> 00:18:16,125
showed us was pretty disturbing.

410
00:18:16,250 --> 00:18:19,333
Some elk that were in
the field just to the south

411
00:18:19,500 --> 00:18:23,167
of the drill site had strange
white marks on their faces.

412
00:18:23,375 --> 00:18:25,333
If it wasn't a natural skin condition,

413
00:18:25,500 --> 00:18:28,750
could they have been burn
marks from radiation exposure?

414
00:18:28,875 --> 00:18:31,875
And if so, what the heck
could have caused that?

415
00:18:32,042 --> 00:18:34,000
So, this is another clip, and you can see

416
00:18:34,167 --> 00:18:37,333
this is another elk, but whatever this is,

417
00:18:37,542 --> 00:18:38,875
it's only impacting the face.

418
00:18:41,333 --> 00:18:43,458
That's really strange.

419
00:18:43,583 --> 00:18:45,917
We really need to find
out where this radiation

420
00:18:46,125 --> 00:18:48,208
is coming from, if
that's what caused this.

421
00:18:49,542 --> 00:18:51,018
See, you talked to me
about that area where

422
00:18:51,042 --> 00:18:52,958
the calf was spinning around in circles.

423
00:18:53,083 --> 00:18:54,443
It was kind of acting like it had,

424
00:18:54,583 --> 00:18:56,184
you know, some sort
of a radioactive reaction.

425
00:18:56,208 --> 00:18:59,851
Yeah. This calf certainly
had some sort of trauma.

426
00:18:59,875 --> 00:19:00,875
Yeah.

427
00:19:02,375 --> 00:19:04,000
Last year, while we were drilling

428
00:19:04,125 --> 00:19:06,042
in borehole 1, the drill bit made contact

429
00:19:06,208 --> 00:19:08,000
with what we believe

430
00:19:08,125 --> 00:19:09,875
was the massive object in the mesa.

431
00:19:11,583 --> 00:19:13,167
And then, all of the sudden,

432
00:19:13,333 --> 00:19:15,250
a calf in the nearby field started spinning

433
00:19:15,417 --> 00:19:18,684
in circles and its eyes turned solid white.

434
00:19:18,708 --> 00:19:20,833
Check out what's going
on with those eyes.

435
00:19:20,958 --> 00:19:24,333
A local vet examined
the calf and discovered

436
00:19:24,542 --> 00:19:27,083
that it was suffering from
microwave radiation exposure.

437
00:19:27,250 --> 00:19:30,625
Now, we're seeing elk
in the same general area

438
00:19:30,792 --> 00:19:33,167
that also might have
been exposed to radiation.

439
00:19:33,375 --> 00:19:36,167
Could this all be connected
to the hard objects

440
00:19:36,375 --> 00:19:38,792
we keep drilling up against in the mesa?

441
00:19:39,750 --> 00:19:41,333
If I could take a look at that field

442
00:19:41,500 --> 00:19:44,018
and take some plant
samples, that'd be great.

443
00:19:44,042 --> 00:19:46,458
- So, I say we... -Immediately.
- Head out there

444
00:19:46,625 --> 00:19:48,250
and we start collecting some samples

445
00:19:48,417 --> 00:19:49,643
and making some measurements.

446
00:19:49,667 --> 00:19:51,267
- Let's do it.
- I'll take you out there

447
00:19:51,375 --> 00:19:52,708
- right now, Ben.
- Perfect.

448
00:19:52,833 --> 00:19:54,917
- Yeah.
- All right, man.

449
00:19:56,917 --> 00:20:00,500
After our meeting, Tom,
Sam and I went out to the mesa

450
00:20:00,667 --> 00:20:03,875
to monitor the drilling
operation in borehole 2.

451
00:20:04,042 --> 00:20:06,667
Erik, Kaleb and Jim took Ben

452
00:20:06,875 --> 00:20:08,792
to the field directly south of the drill site

453
00:20:09,000 --> 00:20:11,667
where the calf was
exposed to the radiation,

454
00:20:11,875 --> 00:20:14,417
and not far from where
our trail camera picked up

455
00:20:14,542 --> 00:20:16,500
the disturbing video of the elk.

456
00:20:16,667 --> 00:20:19,083
We wanted to see if Ben
could find any more evidence

457
00:20:19,250 --> 00:20:23,750
of possible radiation
contamination on the plant life.

458
00:20:24,792 --> 00:20:27,309
You can kind of see almost
like, in the vegetation right here?

459
00:20:27,333 --> 00:20:30,083
- Yeah.
- That's where the calf was.

460
00:20:30,250 --> 00:20:31,833
And you can see where it lines up

461
00:20:32,000 --> 00:20:34,167
- with the mesa.
- It does.

462
00:20:34,292 --> 00:20:35,583
Let's go take a look.

463
00:20:35,750 --> 00:20:37,393
This is where I want
to follow your lead, Ben.

464
00:20:37,417 --> 00:20:39,167
So, this whole area,

465
00:20:39,333 --> 00:20:41,667
especially right over
here, is really strange.

466
00:20:41,792 --> 00:20:44,559
It almost looks like it's been mowed.

467
00:20:44,583 --> 00:20:47,833
And this hasn't been mowed,
but... yeah, those lines.

468
00:20:48,042 --> 00:20:50,667
I don't know what is
that, 30, 40 feet wide?

469
00:20:50,875 --> 00:20:52,893
There's something making
the plants grow different

470
00:20:52,917 --> 00:20:54,333
on either side.

471
00:20:54,458 --> 00:20:55,851
So, let's get a sample from each side,

472
00:20:55,875 --> 00:20:57,333
and then some directly in.

473
00:20:57,458 --> 00:20:59,958
Just get some of the
actual plant material

474
00:21:00,083 --> 00:21:01,667
and I'll get some soil samples.

475
00:21:01,875 --> 00:21:03,875
- Okay.
- All right, well, lead the way.

476
00:21:04,042 --> 00:21:05,750
All right, sounds good.

477
00:21:07,875 --> 00:21:09,917
What could account
for such a well-defined

478
00:21:10,042 --> 00:21:13,917
area in which the plant
growth is so distinctly different?

479
00:21:14,083 --> 00:21:18,167
Why are we seeing taller
plants to the north and the south,

480
00:21:18,375 --> 00:21:19,750
and this stunted plant growth

481
00:21:19,917 --> 00:21:22,208
in the center of this affected area?

482
00:21:22,375 --> 00:21:23,833
- That's enough, here?
- Yeah.

483
00:21:24,042 --> 00:21:25,583
Okay, good.

484
00:21:25,750 --> 00:21:29,667
Kaleb, look at this.
This has been out here

485
00:21:29,875 --> 00:21:31,167
for at least a year.

486
00:21:31,292 --> 00:21:33,250
Maybe even two years ago.

487
00:21:33,417 --> 00:21:35,000
I'm more than just a little concerned

488
00:21:35,208 --> 00:21:37,792
about radiation transience
there south of the drill site.

489
00:21:38,000 --> 00:21:40,393
And I can't help but wonder
whether there's a relationship

490
00:21:40,417 --> 00:21:41,958
between what we're seeing here

491
00:21:42,125 --> 00:21:45,917
and what is in fact known
to exist inside of the mesa.

492
00:21:46,083 --> 00:21:48,833
Of course, I'm talking
about that large anomaly

493
00:21:49,000 --> 00:21:50,375
that shows up in the gpr data.

494
00:21:51,375 --> 00:21:53,167
Do you suppose the differences

495
00:21:53,333 --> 00:21:54,973
that you're seeing could be accounted for

496
00:21:55,083 --> 00:21:56,792
by exposure to radiation?

497
00:21:56,958 --> 00:21:59,375
Let's take these samples
back and I'll test them,

498
00:21:59,542 --> 00:22:01,018
see what I can find out. Sounds good?

499
00:22:01,042 --> 00:22:02,667
- All right.
- Okay.

500
00:22:09,875 --> 00:22:12,333
- Hey, guys.
- How's it going?

501
00:22:12,542 --> 00:22:14,559
I see you've got your teeth out.

502
00:22:14,583 --> 00:22:17,583
- Yeah.
- Did you guys hit something else?

503
00:22:17,708 --> 00:22:19,417
Yeah, right around that 470-foot Mark,

504
00:22:19,542 --> 00:22:21,292
- we hit something.
- Wow.

505
00:22:21,458 --> 00:22:24,167
We got through it, I got another rod in,

506
00:22:24,292 --> 00:22:26,375
and then, something again, so...

507
00:22:26,542 --> 00:22:28,125
The next morning, we were all

508
00:22:28,250 --> 00:22:29,958
shaking our heads when the drillers hit

509
00:22:30,125 --> 00:22:32,125
another hard obstruction that damaged

510
00:22:32,292 --> 00:22:33,875
another one of their drill bits.

511
00:22:34,042 --> 00:22:35,101
We got through it.

512
00:22:35,125 --> 00:22:37,000
We had to replace the teeth.

513
00:22:37,125 --> 00:22:38,833
They're all in pretty bad shape.

514
00:22:39,000 --> 00:22:40,333
They're all pretty much flat.

515
00:22:40,542 --> 00:22:41,583
That's entirely mangled.

516
00:22:41,750 --> 00:22:43,458
God.

517
00:22:43,625 --> 00:22:45,559
These bits are designed
to cut through steel plates

518
00:22:45,583 --> 00:22:47,458
and solid granite, if necessary.

519
00:22:47,625 --> 00:22:50,500
So, what is in there that could
cause this kind of damage?

520
00:22:50,625 --> 00:22:52,042
How's that happen, Alex?

521
00:22:52,208 --> 00:22:55,667
That's kind of what we
were trying to figure out is,

522
00:22:55,792 --> 00:22:58,000
I don't know if I
deflected off of something,

523
00:22:58,167 --> 00:22:59,500
hit something else?

524
00:22:59,667 --> 00:23:01,625
The biggest question
to me is what in the world

525
00:23:01,833 --> 00:23:03,375
is inside that mesa that they

526
00:23:03,542 --> 00:23:05,750
can't drill through
easily? I Don... what is it?

527
00:23:05,958 --> 00:23:07,292
It don't make any sense.

528
00:23:07,458 --> 00:23:10,375
When I pulled out, it
absolutely felt smooth.

529
00:23:10,542 --> 00:23:12,018
I was expecting no teeth on it at all.

530
00:23:12,042 --> 00:23:14,292
I was stacking up to
15,000 pounds of pressure

531
00:23:14,458 --> 00:23:15,958
and couldn't get a bite at all.

532
00:23:16,125 --> 00:23:17,833
- Wow.
- Holy smokes.

533
00:23:18,000 --> 00:23:19,893
And it was showing, like,
the same temperature thing

534
00:23:19,917 --> 00:23:22,167
- where it wasn't...
- Temperature did not change.

535
00:23:22,333 --> 00:23:24,500
The metal bit absorbed the heat?

536
00:23:24,667 --> 00:23:26,083
That thing should have gotten up to

537
00:23:26,250 --> 00:23:28,458
1,000 degrees high from the friction.

538
00:23:28,625 --> 00:23:30,458
- Right.
- The only thing that

539
00:23:30,625 --> 00:23:33,875
you can really drill into that's that hard

540
00:23:34,042 --> 00:23:36,792
that wouldn't change the
temperature would be a ceramic.

541
00:23:38,833 --> 00:23:40,226
It would be like a
modern-day super hardened

542
00:23:40,250 --> 00:23:42,917
ceramic that you would
use for heat shields.

543
00:23:43,083 --> 00:23:46,125
We use it on the
exterior of space shuttles

544
00:23:46,292 --> 00:23:48,250
and hypersonic missiles to protect them

545
00:23:48,375 --> 00:23:52,167
from the extreme heat
of reentry from space.

546
00:23:53,333 --> 00:23:55,917
Yeah, and, I'll be really excited to see

547
00:23:56,042 --> 00:23:57,625
what comes out of the spoils here.

548
00:23:57,792 --> 00:24:00,542
- Yeah.
- Hopefully, that'll give us a clue

549
00:24:00,708 --> 00:24:02,500
as to what's so hard that it's, I mean,

550
00:24:02,667 --> 00:24:03,917
demolishing a drill bit.

551
00:24:04,083 --> 00:24:06,375
- Let's let y'all get back to it.
- Alrighty.

552
00:24:06,542 --> 00:24:08,222
Let's scour through these drilling spoils.

553
00:24:08,417 --> 00:24:09,667
Sounds good.

554
00:24:09,792 --> 00:24:11,708
- Good luck, guys.
- All right.

555
00:24:16,667 --> 00:24:18,250
Hey, I've put a rod on.

556
00:24:18,417 --> 00:24:20,125
Yeah. I'll grab the shovel.

557
00:24:20,292 --> 00:24:21,917
Later that day,

558
00:24:22,125 --> 00:24:24,333
while the drilling operations
continued at the mesa,

559
00:24:24,458 --> 00:24:27,208
and our team
archaeologist Chris Roberts

560
00:24:27,375 --> 00:24:29,708
started searching for
clues in the drilling spoils...

561
00:24:30,875 --> 00:24:32,667
Hey, Ben. Thanks
for jumping on with us.

562
00:24:32,875 --> 00:24:35,333
- Hey, how are you doing?
- Doing well.

563
00:24:35,542 --> 00:24:36,893
We're all very anxious to find out

564
00:24:36,917 --> 00:24:38,792
what you've discovered
from those samples

565
00:24:38,958 --> 00:24:40,643
- that you collected.
- Yeah. Yeah. Absolutely.

566
00:24:40,667 --> 00:24:44,018
In the command center,
biologist Ben woodruff

567
00:24:44,042 --> 00:24:47,000
met with us over video
conference to give his analysis

568
00:24:47,167 --> 00:24:49,750
on the plant samples
we collected from the field

569
00:24:49,917 --> 00:24:51,542
just south of the drill site.

570
00:24:51,708 --> 00:24:54,726
You know, that field,

571
00:24:54,750 --> 00:24:56,726
just had that very clear delineation

572
00:24:56,750 --> 00:24:59,250
between growth and lack of growth.

573
00:24:59,417 --> 00:25:02,833
I know not only was there a calf

574
00:25:03,000 --> 00:25:04,351
spinning there, but some of the elk

575
00:25:04,375 --> 00:25:05,667
that had been filmed in the area

576
00:25:05,833 --> 00:25:08,417
had, like, blisters and boils on their face.

577
00:25:08,583 --> 00:25:11,000
And there was an interest and wonder

578
00:25:11,125 --> 00:25:13,750
if there was a radioactive element to this.

579
00:25:15,042 --> 00:25:16,542
There's a plant growing in this field

580
00:25:16,708 --> 00:25:19,000
called a golden aster

581
00:25:19,167 --> 00:25:21,542
and we took some
samples from the center

582
00:25:21,750 --> 00:25:23,917
of that area, as well as both sides of

583
00:25:24,083 --> 00:25:26,333
that area, to the north and the south of it.

584
00:25:26,542 --> 00:25:29,875
This is what they
looked like on the outside.

585
00:25:30,042 --> 00:25:33,583
To the north of the area,
and the south of the area,

586
00:25:33,750 --> 00:25:36,958
the leaves were normal,
they were photosynthesizing.

587
00:25:37,083 --> 00:25:39,667
This is what it should look like.

588
00:25:39,833 --> 00:25:42,542
The next picture is what they look like

589
00:25:42,708 --> 00:25:46,167
in that region, directly in that area.

590
00:25:46,375 --> 00:25:48,875
It's the same plant,
it's still the golden aster,

591
00:25:49,083 --> 00:25:52,167
but this is very similar
to what one would expect

592
00:25:52,375 --> 00:25:54,958
if you had radiation damage.

593
00:25:55,125 --> 00:25:56,208
- Wow.
- Whoa.

594
00:25:57,500 --> 00:26:01,708
Radiation breaks apart the
cells, not only in mammals,

595
00:26:01,875 --> 00:26:03,750
but it does it in plants as well.

596
00:26:03,917 --> 00:26:07,500
It alters the very DNA of the plant,

597
00:26:07,667 --> 00:26:09,667
and the cells grow incorrectly.

598
00:26:09,792 --> 00:26:12,042
And you can see similar burns,

599
00:26:12,208 --> 00:26:16,684
almost like what we saw
on the faces of those elk.

600
00:26:16,708 --> 00:26:18,375
That's crazy.

601
00:26:18,542 --> 00:26:19,833
Right.

602
00:26:19,958 --> 00:26:21,708
- Yeah.
- It was freaky as hell

603
00:26:21,875 --> 00:26:24,750
that Ben found evidence
of radiation damage

604
00:26:24,917 --> 00:26:27,083
on the plants to the south of the drill site,

605
00:26:27,250 --> 00:26:29,792
right where we've now
seen multiple animals

606
00:26:30,000 --> 00:26:32,000
exposed to high levels of radiation.

607
00:26:33,208 --> 00:26:35,167
Because back in 2018,

608
00:26:35,375 --> 00:26:38,167
we commissioned experts
to sweep the entire property

609
00:26:38,375 --> 00:26:40,500
for harmful levels of radiation.

610
00:26:40,708 --> 00:26:43,792
And their findings in that field south

611
00:26:43,958 --> 00:26:45,718
of the drill site were
completely different.

612
00:26:45,833 --> 00:26:47,833
In the open area and
the ranch and so forth,

613
00:26:47,958 --> 00:26:50,018
nothing of concern.

614
00:26:50,042 --> 00:26:51,833
So, what could have caused the possible

615
00:26:51,958 --> 00:26:54,333
radiation spikes that
may have hit the animals

616
00:26:54,542 --> 00:26:56,333
and the plants in this field?

617
00:26:56,500 --> 00:26:57,833
Interesting.

618
00:26:57,958 --> 00:26:59,500
- Wow.
- Hey, Ben,

619
00:26:59,708 --> 00:27:01,667
when you see the effects on the leaves

620
00:27:01,833 --> 00:27:03,458
like you saw, and it could be

621
00:27:03,625 --> 00:27:07,375
radiation, is that typical

622
00:27:07,542 --> 00:27:10,958
surface-level radiation or
could that come from the roots

623
00:27:11,125 --> 00:27:13,083
or things that are
happening below the surface?

624
00:27:13,250 --> 00:27:16,167
It looks more like something transient.

625
00:27:16,375 --> 00:27:19,375
It looks like... more like an external event

626
00:27:19,542 --> 00:27:20,792
rather than in the ground.

627
00:27:20,958 --> 00:27:24,000
Well, it's odd to me that it's

628
00:27:24,125 --> 00:27:27,500
a long swath, you know,
hundreds of feet long

629
00:27:27,708 --> 00:27:30,583
that's in the middle of the field and only,

630
00:27:30,708 --> 00:27:32,167
you know, a few tens of feet wide.

631
00:27:32,333 --> 00:27:33,542
And it didn't affect anything

632
00:27:33,708 --> 00:27:35,958
around it. That seems a very localized

633
00:27:36,125 --> 00:27:39,167
and specific pattern of radiation.

634
00:27:40,958 --> 00:27:43,184
Well, when you think about
things like in terms of x-rays,

635
00:27:43,208 --> 00:27:44,851
you know, they have
special plates and stuff

636
00:27:44,875 --> 00:27:46,542
to cover certain areas

637
00:27:46,708 --> 00:27:48,101
so that only certain areas get radiated.

638
00:27:48,125 --> 00:27:49,708
You don't have that naturally.

639
00:27:49,875 --> 00:27:51,434
If you have any sort of
radioactive development,

640
00:27:51,458 --> 00:27:52,500
it's going to spread.

641
00:27:52,708 --> 00:27:54,000
And the fact that there is that

642
00:27:54,167 --> 00:27:55,917
very distinct line on both sides,

643
00:27:56,083 --> 00:27:58,333
that's what's unusual,
because that's not natural.

644
00:27:58,458 --> 00:28:00,792
That seems, intelligent.

645
00:28:00,958 --> 00:28:02,875
So, what you're saying is,

646
00:28:03,042 --> 00:28:05,833
this looks like it was
purposefully put there.

647
00:28:06,042 --> 00:28:07,208
Correct.

648
00:28:07,375 --> 00:28:09,500
- Wow.
- Crazy.

649
00:28:10,542 --> 00:28:13,292
The fact that we're
seeing marks on animals

650
00:28:13,417 --> 00:28:17,583
as well as burned vegetation
close to the drill site,

651
00:28:17,750 --> 00:28:20,167
and that this could possibly
be caused by radiation

652
00:28:20,333 --> 00:28:21,333
is really concerning.

653
00:28:21,542 --> 00:28:24,167
This really feels targeted,

654
00:28:24,375 --> 00:28:27,333
and I want to know how and
why these things are happening.

655
00:28:27,542 --> 00:28:30,125
You know, something that comes
to mind is look what we've done

656
00:28:30,292 --> 00:28:32,125
in the past with the drilling aspect.

657
00:28:32,292 --> 00:28:34,875
- Yeah.
- So, is this somehow

658
00:28:35,083 --> 00:28:37,833
connected to what we're
getting out of the mesa,

659
00:28:38,042 --> 00:28:39,792
or is this something separate?

660
00:28:40,875 --> 00:28:43,042
It creeped me out to hear Ben suggest

661
00:28:43,208 --> 00:28:45,250
that there might be an intelligent entity

662
00:28:45,375 --> 00:28:47,833
that targeted that field with radiation,

663
00:28:48,042 --> 00:28:51,292
which is only a 100 yards
south of the mesa drill site.

664
00:28:51,417 --> 00:28:55,500
Could it really be related to
whatever is buried in the mesa?

665
00:28:55,708 --> 00:28:57,958
And could it also be
connected to whatever

666
00:28:58,125 --> 00:29:01,250
or whoever... messed with the
cameras watching my trailer?

667
00:29:02,000 --> 00:29:04,750
I-I think we need to devise
experimental techniques to go

668
00:29:04,917 --> 00:29:07,000
and get to the bottom of whatever it is.

669
00:29:07,208 --> 00:29:08,708
Yeah.

670
00:29:08,875 --> 00:29:10,955
Well, we are very fortunate
to have Ben's expertise,

671
00:29:11,125 --> 00:29:12,726
so, Ben, thanks again
for jumping on with us.

672
00:29:12,750 --> 00:29:13,768
Always great to have you.

673
00:29:13,792 --> 00:29:15,750
Absolutely. Happy to help.

674
00:29:15,958 --> 00:29:18,292
- See you soon.
- Thanks, Ben!

675
00:29:31,042 --> 00:29:32,292
Is it moving at all?

676
00:29:32,458 --> 00:29:34,417
I don't think so.

677
00:29:35,500 --> 00:29:38,042
Yeah, it's a pretty hard
layer I'm in right here.

678
00:29:41,208 --> 00:29:43,375
After we wrapped up our
meeting with Ben woodruff,

679
00:29:43,542 --> 00:29:45,833
we spent the next few
hours out at the mesa.

680
00:29:46,000 --> 00:29:49,417
After the drill bit was damaged
when it hit an obstruction

681
00:29:49,583 --> 00:29:52,042
more than 470 feet in borehole 2,

682
00:29:52,208 --> 00:29:54,583
Alex Swanson and his crew stayed late

683
00:29:54,750 --> 00:29:56,230
to see if they could break through it

684
00:29:56,375 --> 00:29:57,833
and finish the hole.

685
00:29:58,042 --> 00:29:59,833
So, we were closely
monitoring the process

686
00:30:00,042 --> 00:30:03,667
with our spectrum analyzers
and radiation detectors.

687
00:30:03,792 --> 00:30:06,125
Thomas to Erik, do you copy?

688
00:30:06,250 --> 00:30:07,750
- Yeah, Thomas.
- What do you got?

689
00:30:07,875 --> 00:30:09,625
They're drilling through something

690
00:30:09,833 --> 00:30:12,500
- extremely hard right now.
- Copy that.

691
00:30:12,625 --> 00:30:14,333
We're going to monitor down here.

692
00:30:14,458 --> 00:30:15,833
Copy that.

693
00:30:16,042 --> 00:30:18,000
And while drilling continued,

694
00:30:18,125 --> 00:30:20,059
archaeologist Chris
Roberts was still methodically

695
00:30:20,083 --> 00:30:23,167
sifting through the
drilling spoils for any clues

696
00:30:23,375 --> 00:30:27,042
that might help explain just
what's buried inside the mesa.

697
00:30:28,708 --> 00:30:29,708
Look at that right there.

698
00:30:29,875 --> 00:30:31,333
My god.

699
00:30:31,500 --> 00:30:33,042
What the hell?

700
00:30:33,250 --> 00:30:37,083
I've got the drill beacon
frequency pretty steady,

701
00:30:37,208 --> 00:30:38,684
but it's something happening to it.

702
00:30:38,708 --> 00:30:40,708
Look how it's modulating.

703
00:30:40,875 --> 00:30:43,000
It should have one peak.

704
00:30:43,167 --> 00:30:45,059
But there's a bunch, it's
jumping all over the place.

705
00:30:45,083 --> 00:30:47,000
Look at that.

706
00:30:47,167 --> 00:30:48,667
Crap. Look at this.

707
00:30:48,875 --> 00:30:50,167
The 1.6 gigahertz is going nuts.

708
00:30:50,333 --> 00:30:52,833
- What the hell?
- Look at this.

709
00:30:53,000 --> 00:30:56,375
- Is that a communication - signal?
- It could be.

710
00:31:00,208 --> 00:31:01,208
Wow.

711
00:31:05,708 --> 00:31:07,893
Crap. Look at this.

712
00:31:07,917 --> 00:31:10,042
The 1.6 gigahertz is going nuts.

713
00:31:11,083 --> 00:31:14,000
- Absolutely.
- This signal freaking me out over here.

714
00:31:14,208 --> 00:31:16,726
I'm not seeing any of that

715
00:31:16,750 --> 00:31:18,750
at the south tower and I'm not seeing

716
00:31:18,917 --> 00:31:20,500
any of it at the black box.

717
00:31:20,667 --> 00:31:22,583
- That's all local.
- Yeah.

718
00:31:22,750 --> 00:31:24,167
Right as the drillers hit

719
00:31:24,333 --> 00:31:26,667
another obstruction in borehole 2,

720
00:31:26,875 --> 00:31:30,167
around 477 feet inside the mesa,

721
00:31:30,292 --> 00:31:33,083
a 1.6 gigahertz signal started spiking

722
00:31:33,208 --> 00:31:34,792
on my spectrum analyzer.

723
00:31:34,958 --> 00:31:37,667
My device was tracking
the immediate area,

724
00:31:37,792 --> 00:31:40,000
while Erik's was tuned into locations

725
00:31:40,167 --> 00:31:42,059
at other parts of the ranch.

726
00:31:42,083 --> 00:31:44,000
He wasn't seeing it on
his spectrum analyzer,

727
00:31:44,125 --> 00:31:47,667
which meant the source of
the signal was close to us.

728
00:31:47,833 --> 00:31:49,750
So, was it coming from whatever the drill

729
00:31:49,875 --> 00:31:51,833
just hit inside the mesa?

730
00:31:52,042 --> 00:31:53,500
Look at this.

731
00:31:53,625 --> 00:31:55,667
The 33 megahertz beacon signal,

732
00:31:55,875 --> 00:31:57,458
it's spread out like we've seen before.

733
00:31:59,250 --> 00:32:01,083
- Hey, guys.
- Hey, what's up?

734
00:32:01,250 --> 00:32:03,210
- What is that?
- That's coming out of the drill.

735
00:32:04,750 --> 00:32:07,083
From the beacon, coming out of the drill,

736
00:32:07,250 --> 00:32:09,292
whatever they're hitting
is spreading that signal

737
00:32:09,458 --> 00:32:11,833
all the way across and modulating it.

738
00:32:12,000 --> 00:32:13,625
It's taking that one signal

739
00:32:13,833 --> 00:32:15,583
and distributing it across that range.

740
00:32:15,792 --> 00:32:17,083
Yep.

741
00:32:17,208 --> 00:32:19,167
It was getting stranger by the second.

742
00:32:19,333 --> 00:32:22,250
Right as the 1.6 gigahertz
signal was spiking,

743
00:32:22,417 --> 00:32:25,375
the 33 megahertz signal
coming from the beacon

744
00:32:25,583 --> 00:32:29,000
inside the drill bit was
spreading all over the place.

745
00:32:29,125 --> 00:32:31,958
When that signal spreads,
the drillers can no longer track

746
00:32:32,125 --> 00:32:34,208
the direction of the drill underground,

747
00:32:34,375 --> 00:32:36,958
and our borehole could
veer off the course needed

748
00:32:37,125 --> 00:32:39,375
to get up through the top of the mesa.

749
00:32:39,542 --> 00:32:40,958
So, is the obstruction

750
00:32:41,167 --> 00:32:43,167
that the drill is hitting right now

751
00:32:43,375 --> 00:32:46,083
triggering not only the
1.6 gigahertz signal,

752
00:32:46,250 --> 00:32:49,000
but also causing the
beacon signal to go crazy?

753
00:32:49,167 --> 00:32:52,708
Maybe this update will
add something to this.

754
00:32:52,917 --> 00:32:55,708
Right now, we're at 480 feet in,

755
00:32:55,917 --> 00:32:58,125
but he's hitting a hard layer

756
00:32:58,250 --> 00:32:59,333
every two to three inches.

757
00:32:59,542 --> 00:33:02,583
The hard layer itself is
two to three inches thick.

758
00:33:02,750 --> 00:33:05,667
Then he breaks through,
it's a couple inches of space,

759
00:33:05,875 --> 00:33:08,625
and another layer of two or three inches,

760
00:33:08,792 --> 00:33:10,583
and it's just repeating that.

761
00:33:10,750 --> 00:33:12,101
What I get out of this is we are

762
00:33:12,125 --> 00:33:13,684
interacting with something structured.

763
00:33:13,708 --> 00:33:15,000
Yes.

764
00:33:15,208 --> 00:33:16,500
We're seeing things happen

765
00:33:16,625 --> 00:33:18,542
with the drilling operation itself

766
00:33:18,667 --> 00:33:21,792
that says there's something
highly unusual there.

767
00:33:21,958 --> 00:33:24,167
These layers of material are in no way

768
00:33:24,333 --> 00:33:25,917
like the mesa itself.

769
00:33:26,083 --> 00:33:28,333
This is not sandstone, this
is not naturally occurring.

770
00:33:28,458 --> 00:33:29,958
I think it makes a lot of sense,

771
00:33:30,125 --> 00:33:33,000
as we encounter this hard material,

772
00:33:33,167 --> 00:33:35,333
to expect to see something coming back

773
00:33:35,542 --> 00:33:38,167
into the spoils that would give us clues

774
00:33:38,333 --> 00:33:40,792
as to what the material composition is.

775
00:33:42,333 --> 00:33:43,875
Hey, guys. You got a copy?

776
00:33:44,042 --> 00:33:45,292
Yes. Go ahead.

777
00:33:46,208 --> 00:33:47,917
Yeah, I got some things over here

778
00:33:48,042 --> 00:33:49,684
I think you're gonna
want to take a look at.

779
00:33:49,708 --> 00:33:52,708
You want to come over
here to the spoils site?

780
00:33:53,875 --> 00:33:56,000
Absolutely. We'll head right over.

781
00:33:56,167 --> 00:33:59,292
Sam, Jim, if y'all don't
mind, keep an eye on this

782
00:33:59,458 --> 00:34:01,684
and let us know if it changes
dramatically or whatever.

783
00:34:01,708 --> 00:34:03,976
- Yeah, absolutely.
- All right, we'll be back in a bit.

784
00:34:04,000 --> 00:34:05,417
Okay.

785
00:34:08,458 --> 00:34:10,167
- Hey, Chris.
- Hey, guys.

786
00:34:10,333 --> 00:34:12,125
- Thanks for coming over.
- Yeah, man.

787
00:34:12,292 --> 00:34:14,101
Something I wanted
to show you that I really

788
00:34:14,125 --> 00:34:16,542
can't believe that we
found inside the mesa.

789
00:34:16,708 --> 00:34:17,708
What the hell is this?

790
00:34:17,875 --> 00:34:19,167
What is that?

791
00:34:20,125 --> 00:34:21,333
It's ceramics.

792
00:34:23,333 --> 00:34:24,542
What?

793
00:34:25,500 --> 00:34:28,208
Travis, flip it over. Flip it over.

794
00:34:29,250 --> 00:34:30,684
Do you see the two different colors?

795
00:34:30,708 --> 00:34:32,667
- Yeah.
- We've got a glazed surface

796
00:34:32,833 --> 00:34:34,667
- and we have a porous surface here?
- Yes.

797
00:34:34,875 --> 00:34:36,708
L-Look at the patterning.

798
00:34:37,750 --> 00:34:39,958
Yeah. It's like a crosshatch pattern in it.

799
00:34:40,167 --> 00:34:41,583
Yes, absolutely.

800
00:34:41,708 --> 00:34:43,417
That's manufactured, guys.

801
00:34:43,583 --> 00:34:46,750
Yeah, that-that is absolutely pressed

802
00:34:46,917 --> 00:34:49,083
into place and then baked.

803
00:34:51,792 --> 00:34:55,000
Could this really be a
manufactured ceramic material?

804
00:34:55,208 --> 00:34:57,208
How did it get deep in the mesa?

805
00:34:57,333 --> 00:34:59,167
Is this what damaged the drill

806
00:34:59,292 --> 00:35:01,208
and made the beacon signal spread?

807
00:35:01,375 --> 00:35:03,833
And is it connected to
the 1.6 gigahertz signal

808
00:35:04,000 --> 00:35:05,750
we just detected?

809
00:35:05,917 --> 00:35:09,417
This right here is a
edge fragment right there.

810
00:35:09,625 --> 00:35:11,059
That... so that's a finished edge.

811
00:35:11,083 --> 00:35:12,250
- Yes.
- My gosh,

812
00:35:12,375 --> 00:35:13,809
- look how perfect it is.
- It's beveled.

813
00:35:13,833 --> 00:35:15,458
Holy crap.

814
00:35:15,625 --> 00:35:18,333
That's beveled for something...
It fits into something else.

815
00:35:21,458 --> 00:35:24,583
It's flat, it really doesn't have a curve to it.

816
00:35:24,708 --> 00:35:28,417
It's not a vessel, it's not a, a plate, a cup.

817
00:35:28,583 --> 00:35:29,833
Basically, it's a tile, right?

818
00:35:30,000 --> 00:35:31,833
But it's too thin for a floor tile,

819
00:35:32,042 --> 00:35:33,875
too thin for a roof tile.

820
00:35:34,042 --> 00:35:37,500
You said "tile," and that's
ringing some bells for me.

821
00:35:37,625 --> 00:35:40,055
Think about what we were
told at the university of Utah.

822
00:35:40,079 --> 00:35:40,518
Yeah.

823
00:35:40,542 --> 00:35:43,833
Right? It's a lot like
the space shuttle tiles.

824
00:35:44,000 --> 00:35:45,250
Holy smokes.

825
00:35:47,042 --> 00:35:48,750
Three years ago,

826
00:35:48,917 --> 00:35:51,500
we had the metal pieces that
were extracted from the mesa

827
00:35:51,708 --> 00:35:54,292
examined at the university of Utah.

828
00:36:01,833 --> 00:36:03,167
Okay.

829
00:36:04,708 --> 00:36:07,833
And there, metallurgy
expert Dr. Ravi chandran

830
00:36:08,000 --> 00:36:11,250
helped us conclude that they
had a manufactured design

831
00:36:11,417 --> 00:36:13,667
that was similar to the protective coating

832
00:36:13,833 --> 00:36:15,417
used on spacecraft.

833
00:36:22,042 --> 00:36:23,602
It's like a glass, it's like a ceramic,

834
00:36:23,708 --> 00:36:25,000
composite, right?

835
00:36:25,167 --> 00:36:26,833
Yeah, so, that makes a lot of sense.

836
00:36:27,875 --> 00:36:31,583
So, could this ceramic material
be what the drill was hitting,

837
00:36:31,708 --> 00:36:34,625
and is it what kept
the bit from heating up?

838
00:36:34,750 --> 00:36:39,833
If so, what the heck is buried in
the mesa on skin walker ranch?

839
00:36:39,958 --> 00:36:41,958
Have we punctured through

840
00:36:42,125 --> 00:36:44,208
something that's
coated with this ceramic?

841
00:36:45,542 --> 00:36:47,000
What is that ceramic doing in there?

842
00:36:47,167 --> 00:36:48,476
So, that's the question is like,

843
00:36:48,500 --> 00:36:50,042
what would you use metal

844
00:36:50,250 --> 00:36:52,833
and-and ceramic like this in conjunction?

845
00:36:52,958 --> 00:36:54,542
I don't know.

846
00:36:54,708 --> 00:36:55,833
A spaceship?

847
00:36:56,042 --> 00:36:57,333
You said it.

848
00:36:59,375 --> 00:37:01,208
I got chills, dude.

849
00:37:05,375 --> 00:37:08,792
This is a designed, engineered material.

850
00:37:08,958 --> 00:37:10,838
- It's high-tech, one way or the other.
- Yeah.

851
00:37:11,000 --> 00:37:14,000
If it can absorb that much
heat from that drill head,

852
00:37:14,167 --> 00:37:16,625
then it is like the space shuttle tiles.

853
00:37:17,625 --> 00:37:18,958
And it's chewing up their bit.

854
00:37:19,125 --> 00:37:20,226
And it's chewing up their bit,

855
00:37:20,250 --> 00:37:21,750
'cause it's hard ceramic.

856
00:37:22,833 --> 00:37:25,417
We knew something
unnatural was in the mesa

857
00:37:25,542 --> 00:37:27,333
when we detected the massive object

858
00:37:27,500 --> 00:37:29,625
and smaller anomalies buried in there.

859
00:37:29,792 --> 00:37:31,272
But now, after hitting an obstruction

860
00:37:31,417 --> 00:37:34,750
more than 470 feet in borehole 2,

861
00:37:34,875 --> 00:37:37,292
we've found pieces of ceramic tiling

862
00:37:37,458 --> 00:37:39,333
that appears to be engineered.

863
00:37:39,542 --> 00:37:41,083
This is starting to sound like

864
00:37:41,250 --> 00:37:42,730
it's out of the x-files or something,

865
00:37:42,875 --> 00:37:45,208
could it be similar to
the protective coating

866
00:37:45,375 --> 00:37:47,000
on spacecraft?

867
00:37:47,208 --> 00:37:49,000
I just don't know what to think of that.

868
00:37:49,167 --> 00:37:51,333
- There's space-age material right there.
- Yeah.

869
00:37:51,542 --> 00:37:53,833
Yeah. 470 feet

870
00:37:54,000 --> 00:37:56,542
- into a mesa in the middle of the desert.
- Yeah. Yeah.

871
00:37:56,708 --> 00:37:58,250
How did it get in there?

872
00:37:58,417 --> 00:38:00,292
Well, we do have a video of a uap

873
00:38:00,500 --> 00:38:01,667
flying through the mesa.

874
00:38:02,875 --> 00:38:04,167
Who knows?

875
00:38:04,292 --> 00:38:06,750
Was this some kind of high-tech vessel

876
00:38:06,917 --> 00:38:08,917
that maybe didn't make
it all the way through

877
00:38:09,042 --> 00:38:10,250
and got stuck in there?

878
00:38:10,375 --> 00:38:11,958
I smiled at it when you said it,

879
00:38:12,167 --> 00:38:14,833
but I got to tell you, I'm
taking it more seriously now.

880
00:38:15,042 --> 00:38:17,000
Watch how this thing emerges,

881
00:38:17,208 --> 00:38:18,833
and watch the path that it takes.

882
00:38:19,042 --> 00:38:20,708
In 2022,

883
00:38:20,875 --> 00:38:24,500
we captured unbelievable
video of a glowing uap

884
00:38:24,708 --> 00:38:27,375
flying into the mesa in the east field

885
00:38:27,542 --> 00:38:29,875
and then reemerging on the other side,

886
00:38:30,042 --> 00:38:32,500
like it flew right through solid rock.

887
00:38:32,708 --> 00:38:36,625
So, knowing that there's a
massive object in the mesa

888
00:38:36,792 --> 00:38:39,625
and seeing these strange
materials in the drilling spoils

889
00:38:39,792 --> 00:38:42,792
really makes you wonder
what might have happened here.

890
00:38:42,917 --> 00:38:44,500
Well, guys, the sum total

891
00:38:44,667 --> 00:38:46,958
of everything that we've seen up there,

892
00:38:47,125 --> 00:38:48,792
we're seeing signals spread.

893
00:38:48,958 --> 00:38:51,333
You couple that with the
metal we're pulling out of there.

894
00:38:51,542 --> 00:38:53,309
You've got ceramic
material, you got metal,

895
00:38:53,333 --> 00:38:55,333
- you got magnetic rocks.
- Right.

896
00:38:55,500 --> 00:38:57,333
- Yeah.
- All these things could be related

897
00:38:57,542 --> 00:38:59,333
to what's in there, right?

898
00:38:59,500 --> 00:39:01,500
I think it's a hundred percent connected.

899
00:39:01,667 --> 00:39:03,143
I want to take a radiation measurement.

900
00:39:03,167 --> 00:39:04,647
I'll-I'll get the gamma ray detector.

901
00:39:04,750 --> 00:39:06,250
No, that's freakin' awesome, though.

902
00:39:06,417 --> 00:39:07,476
Let me get a control measurement here.

903
00:39:07,500 --> 00:39:13,000
Okay, so... 37.

904
00:39:13,208 --> 00:39:14,667
So, I'm seeing 37 to 68.

905
00:39:14,833 --> 00:39:16,708
- Okay.
- Yeah, that's a normal reading.

906
00:39:19,875 --> 00:39:21,875
Seems like it got a little more excited.

907
00:39:22,875 --> 00:39:24,917
- It is more radio... 105.
- 105.

908
00:39:25,083 --> 00:39:27,625
Whoa.

909
00:39:28,583 --> 00:39:29,708
It is radioactive.

910
00:39:29,875 --> 00:39:31,958
- What in the hell is this stuff?
- Wow.

911
00:39:32,125 --> 00:39:35,083
Wow, on top of everything else,

912
00:39:35,292 --> 00:39:36,500
this stuff has given off

913
00:39:36,625 --> 00:39:38,583
unusually high amounts of radiation.

914
00:39:38,708 --> 00:39:41,667
So, could that be a clue
that whatever's in the mesa

915
00:39:41,833 --> 00:39:44,000
might have caused the
radiation damage to the plants

916
00:39:44,208 --> 00:39:46,583
and animals in the nearby field?

917
00:39:46,750 --> 00:39:50,292
We've got to figure out
exactly what this really is.

918
00:39:50,458 --> 00:39:52,333
Dude, what's going on in there?

919
00:39:52,542 --> 00:39:53,851
- Unbelievable.
- It's fantastic.

920
00:39:53,875 --> 00:39:55,333
All-all thanks to our archeologist

921
00:39:55,500 --> 00:39:57,018
- who knows what he's looking at.
- Heck yeah, dude.

922
00:39:57,042 --> 00:39:59,000
- That's a hell of a job.
- Heck yeah.

923
00:39:59,125 --> 00:40:00,934
We got to get this thing
to a lab and get it tested.

924
00:40:00,958 --> 00:40:02,333
I want to sit down with this

925
00:40:02,542 --> 00:40:04,268
and get some quality time with an s.E.M

926
00:40:04,292 --> 00:40:07,083
scanning electron microscope...
And figure out what this is.

927
00:40:07,250 --> 00:40:08,417
Hey, well, let's get to it.

928
00:40:08,583 --> 00:40:10,393
- Immediately. All right.
- Let's go. Let's go.

929
00:40:10,417 --> 00:40:11,750
Thanks, Chris.

930
00:40:11,917 --> 00:40:13,208
Absolutely. I'll keep looking.

931
00:40:14,208 --> 00:40:17,125
After three years of trying to figure out

932
00:40:17,333 --> 00:40:19,375
what could be in that mesa,

933
00:40:19,542 --> 00:40:21,875
this is a major discovery for our team.

934
00:40:22,083 --> 00:40:25,083
But now we need to
find out if this material

935
00:40:25,250 --> 00:40:27,750
is as profound as it appears to be,

936
00:40:27,958 --> 00:40:32,333
and will it lead us to the
truth about skin walker ranch?

937
00:40:33,375 --> 00:40:36,000
The discovery of that
engineered ceramics

938
00:40:36,167 --> 00:40:39,583
may be one of the most
important deliverables

939
00:40:39,750 --> 00:40:41,875
from this entire investigation.

940
00:40:42,042 --> 00:40:43,708
I think it is very clear

941
00:40:43,875 --> 00:40:46,333
that what we're looking
at is highly unusual.

942
00:40:46,542 --> 00:40:48,542
It begs for an explanation.

943
00:40:48,708 --> 00:40:50,958
It deepens the mystery of the drill site

944
00:40:51,125 --> 00:40:52,750
and of the ranch overall,

945
00:40:52,875 --> 00:40:55,542
and there may yet be
another mystery material

946
00:40:55,708 --> 00:40:58,125
to be discovered inside the mesa.

947
00:41:00,375 --> 00:41:02,125
One of our most shocking discoveries

948
00:41:02,292 --> 00:41:06,125
came in the wake of the most
challenging drilling season yet.

949
00:41:06,292 --> 00:41:08,083
We were given a gift,

950
00:41:08,250 --> 00:41:11,792
a discovery of ceramic
material of unknown origin

951
00:41:11,958 --> 00:41:14,250
recovered from deep within the mesa.

952
00:41:15,875 --> 00:41:17,333
We hope to get the answers

953
00:41:17,542 --> 00:41:20,083
to what is the nature of this material?

954
00:41:20,250 --> 00:41:23,583
Why would it be located
from deep within the mesa?

955
00:41:25,000 --> 00:41:28,417
This material may hold the answers

956
00:41:28,625 --> 00:41:31,000
to what is happening
at skin walker ranch.

957
00:41:35,208 --> 00:41:36,500
Holy crap, dude.

958
00:41:36,708 --> 00:41:38,458
The tooth is almost completely gone.

959
00:41:38,625 --> 00:41:41,958
- How about that?
- And it's completely welded shut.

960
00:41:42,125 --> 00:41:43,500
That's crazy.

961
00:41:43,625 --> 00:41:45,000
Ooh. Another piece.

962
00:41:45,167 --> 00:41:46,727
Just look at that texture on that side.

963
00:41:46,875 --> 00:41:48,958
I got several samples mounded.

964
00:41:49,125 --> 00:41:51,083
I can see some clearly defined holes.

965
00:41:51,208 --> 00:41:53,333
What if it's the electron
beam from the microscope

966
00:41:53,458 --> 00:41:54,458
that's causing this?

967
00:41:54,583 --> 00:41:55,625
Let's turn it off.

968
00:41:55,833 --> 00:41:57,958
This stuff is fixing itself.

969
00:41:58,125 --> 00:41:59,518
It's putting itself back together.

970
00:41:59,542 --> 00:42:00,792
It's healing.
