00:00Go ahead and spin her.
00:02We want to go down until we hit
00:04whatever is buried in the mesa.
00:05The center of that formation
00:07should be right over the bubble boundary.
00:10Boom! They're starting to fall
00:11out of formation.
00:14Oh, did you see that? Eric,
00:16something just zipped right overhead
00:17just above Homestead 2.
00:19Moving real fast.
00:21So watch that little dot right there.
00:23Okay, there's the light.
00:25That could be it.
00:26I gotta tell you, the bubble wall,
00:28it could be a real thing.
00:30Yeah. Wow.
00:33There is a ranch
00:34in northern Utah.
00:36It is considered
00:38the epicenter of the strangest
00:40and most disturbing
00:42occurrences on Earth.
00:44For two decades,
00:46the federal government investigated
00:48the property. Their findings
00:50have never been made public.
00:53Right there, we got something!
00:54Now, a new team of independent
00:57scientists and researchers
00:58are taking over.
01:00They are uncovering evidence
01:02that the countless stories
01:04It came right out of the mesa.
01:06of unidentified aerial phenomenon.
01:09UAP, right there!
01:10Bizarre energies.
01:12It looks like there's a heat source
01:13right above them.
01:14And portals that lead to other dimensions.
01:17We're maybe looking at the anomaly
01:18for the first time, guys.
01:19This might actually be true.
01:22They will stop at nothing
01:24to reveal
01:26the secret
01:28of Skinwalker Ranch.
01:36Well, guys, I'm feeling scan happy.
01:38Me too.
01:39Yeah, I'm excited about
01:40what we're about to see.
01:42I want to show you the terrestrial lidar scans
01:44when we started drilling.
01:46Okay. Let's go. Let's do it.
01:49Pete's excited to share some data
01:51he took a couple of days ago
01:52with his lidar scanner right as
01:54we started drilling a new vertical
01:56borehole at the top of the mesa.
01:58Our goal is to get down
02:00to around 33 feet,
02:02which is where our drill got damaged
02:04last year when it hit something
02:06super hard.
02:07It's completely welded shut.
02:10It's friction welded.
02:11Mm-hmm.
02:12It's also where we found some material
02:14we think was manufactured
02:17that we call type A ceramic.
02:19It might be similar to heat shield tiles
02:21you'd find on the space shuttles
02:23or Starship.
02:25Oh, that's interesting.
02:26Yeah.
02:26So we're drilling a four-foot diameter borehole
02:29to get back down there
02:31and figure out where these ceramics came from.
02:34Hey, guys. The drill is in place.
02:37But the moment our drill bit touched the ground...
02:39Look out here.
02:40It's a 1.6 gigahertz signal.
02:42We got one of those strange
02:441.6 gigahertz signals
02:46that we see all the time out here
02:48right when we start experiments.
02:50That's so weird.
02:51So we're hoping.
02:53Pete may have caught some kind of image
02:55that might provide new clues or insights
02:57on what's producing those signals.
03:01So, why don't I show you what we got?
03:06So this is from the top of the Mesa
03:08looking to the southwest.
03:10Okay.
03:12Now, check this out.
03:14I spotted some interesting data.
03:20Now, look at that.
03:21Whoa.
03:23Those should not be there.
03:29As you can see,
03:31it's intersecting with the bubble boundary.
03:33Sure is.
03:35This is why I got excited.
03:39So you see this large piece of data right here.
03:42If I reorient, reposition our point of view,
03:47it's actually underground.
03:49Are you kidding me?
03:52What in the world?
03:54If you'll notice, they're actually on an arc.
03:58It looks like it's forming a semicircle.
04:03And then if you look over here,
04:05it almost begins to look like something circular.
04:11So, could we be seeing part of the bubble
04:15in this LiDAR data?
04:16Could be.
04:17All right.
04:18When we've seen this giant sphere-shaped thing
04:21that we call the bubble show up in the past,
04:24it's always centered at the triangle
04:26and encompasses the Mesa drill site.
04:28And when it appears,
04:29it also seems to be caused by our activities.
04:34We have speculated several times
04:36that the bubble could be turned on and off.
04:38So, I can't dismiss the idea
04:40that we're looking at something caused by the drilling.
04:43Yeah.
04:43This just reinforces
04:45that we've got to go back to that Mesa
04:47and keep drilling.
04:48Absolutely.
04:49Yeah.
04:50All right.
04:51We'll see y'all up there.
04:51Yeah.
04:52See you guys on top.
04:58Hey, fellas.
04:59What's up?
05:00Greetings, Yon.
05:01How you doing?
05:02Very well, sir.
05:03Later that morning,
05:04before drilling started again,
05:06we welcomed back our buddy, Yon Franke.
05:09Yon's a ground-penetrating radar expert,
05:11and we wanted to have him run some new GPR scans of the Mesa.
05:15Two years ago, Yon first captured what's been a key image for us,
05:20something that seems to be a big object
05:23along with a bunch of smaller objects around it buried inside the Mesa.
05:29As you can see, we've already made some progress.
05:31What are we, 50 inches in?
05:33Yep.
05:34Today, as we do the drilling,
05:36the objective is to get your instrument into that borehole.
05:40Yep.
05:40Take it all the way from bottom to top,
05:42probably a couple of passes.
05:44Yep.
05:44It's similar to any of the other ground-penetrating radar systems
05:48that we've used on the surface,
05:49except this one, being a borehole,
05:51what we'll end up making for you, hopefully,
05:54is a map of anomalies giving you depth and distance away from the borehole.
05:59It's fantastic.
06:01Eric and I wanted to see if putting Yon's GPR inside Borehole 1
06:05might give us a clearer idea of what's inside the Mesa.
06:08We're really interested in what he captures at around 33 feet,
06:12where the drill bit in Borehole 2 broke last year.
06:17We've got a lot of work to do.
06:18Yeah.
06:19I say we get to it.
06:19Let's get to work.
06:20All right.
06:26We're good.
06:27It's running.
06:28It's running right now.
06:29I can't stop it.
06:30OK.
06:33You're on it.
06:40Drill bit just made contact with the Earth.
06:43Be advised that drilling has begun.
06:47Copy that.
06:48Thank you.
06:49Whenever you're ready for us to start pulling the GPR down the tube,
06:54let us know.
06:55Copy that.
06:56We'll get everything in place and we'll let you know.
06:58As the drilling started,
07:00the rest of us were keeping an eye out for strange signals
07:03on our spectrum analyzers,
07:05positioned both at the top and bottom of the Mesa.
07:16So we are picking up the 33 megahertz.
07:19Wait.
07:21Signal.
07:21Are you kidding?
07:22I am not kidding.
07:23It's strong there.
07:24You see it popping up?
07:26It is weird.
07:27Yeah.
07:28OK.
07:28Get this, Travis.
07:30Sam reports he's getting a 33 megahertz signal.
07:34This is not us.
07:36Copy that.
07:37I'm going to start looking for it down here.
07:43There it is.
07:44There it is.
07:44There it is.
07:44Right there.
07:45Yep.
07:48Talk about another obvious correlation
07:51right when we start drilling again.
07:5333 megahertz was the same frequency broadcast
07:56by the drilling beacon last year
07:58when the drill bit got destroyed in Borehole 2.
08:01This year's drill has no beacon.
08:04So what was emitting that exact signal?
08:06The buried object or something else?
08:09Whoa.
08:111.2 gigahertz just started right there.
08:14Whoa.
08:15And we also have 1.6.
08:19Eric, we just had a 1.2 gigahertz signal pop up.
08:23And there's a 1.6 gigahertz signal.
08:27Looks like we've got everything in the box showing up.
08:31It was a perfect storm of ranch strangeness.
08:34Over the last year, these are the three signals
08:37that we detect over and over during our experiments.
08:40They've got to be connected to what's in the mesa.
08:44Could it possibly be from the dead gum drill rig?
08:48So you guys are positive there's nothing on this rig
08:51that's transmitting a signal?
08:53No.
08:54Nothing.
08:55Well, I've verified with the drillers
08:57there's absolutely nothing on this drill
08:59that's transmitting any signal.
09:01So, no, it's not coming from the drill
09:04unless the drill somehow is stimulating whatever's in the mesa.
09:22This is a bit puzzling.
09:24I'm not really sure what we're dealing with here.
09:27We're still seeing the 33 megahertz signal over here.
09:31Hey, Travis.
09:33Are you guys seeing any changes down there?
09:36Not really.
09:38All right, guys.
09:38We're going to watch it.
09:41As soon as we started drilling,
09:43our spectrum analyzers picked up signals at 33 megahertz,
09:47at 1.2 gigahertz, and at 1.6 gigahertz.
09:51It was like drilling woke something up inside the mesa,
09:54and now it was staying awake.
09:57All right, so are you about ready to put the instrument
09:59into the borehole?
10:00Let's do it.
10:01All right, so we'll start with this one.
10:03We thought that if something in the mesa
10:05was sending out those signals,
10:07maybe Jan could get the best images yet
10:09of what it actually is.
10:12Nice and easy.
10:13Nice and smooth.
10:14The device was rigged up to a pulley system
10:16at the top and bottom of the mesa.
10:19There he goes.
10:19So we could pull the scanner all the way through
10:22from the top to the bottom of borehole one.
10:26That's 100 feet.
10:31That's 450 feet right there, 450 feet.
10:35Copy that, Travis.
10:36450 feet.
10:41All right, Eric, we have the instrument here now.
10:44Copy that, Travis.
10:46We've got Sam back on this end of the rope.
10:48When you guys are ready, we are.
10:50Bring her back up.
10:55While we were scanning...
10:57Wow, that's a good one there.
11:02Archaeologist Chris Roberts was standing by
11:04to inspect the drilling cores with a gamma ray detector
11:07to measure if there were any high levels of radiation.
11:10I need to get a look at that.
11:11The type is ceramic that we found left out
11:13last year had some interesting radiation levels.
11:16That's why we need to go in looking for gamma rays
11:19or something unnatural.
11:21Anything that stands out that indicates
11:23we're getting closer to what we need to find.
11:28That's weird.
11:30This is not normal.
11:33I'm 108 right now, 110.
11:3715 is going back up.
11:40116, 117.
11:43There's some elevated radiation in there.
11:46Hey, Christopher Bard, do I got a copy?
11:48Yeah, Chris, go ahead.
11:50Yeah, I've got some interesting gamma readings
11:53on this core that just came out.
11:55And it's elevated up to 115.
11:59Yeah, that's clearly much higher than normal.
12:02Hey, Eric, when we took that ceramic out,
12:07it was around 100 counts per minute.
12:09Exactly what I was thinking.
12:12Now, 100 counts of gamma rays per minute isn't dangerous,
12:15but it's about 10 times the radiation levels
12:18you'd expect to see in normal sandstone.
12:21And here's the kicker.
12:22It matches the levels we detected on the type A ceramics
12:25we pulled out of the drilling spoils last year.
12:29I just put it right here in the center like this.
12:32Oh, wow.
12:35119, 122, 128.
12:40Now that's interesting.
12:43Chris, do you know our depth on this core?
12:45It was at 100 inches.
12:48Okay.
12:49I did not expect to see the radiation in the core samples
12:52coming out of the drilling, at least not at this depth,
12:55because when we first encountered the ceramics last year,
12:58that came from a much greater depth.
13:00Well, that's an interesting finding.
13:03I don't know what it means yet.
13:05Yeah.
13:06Is it just a coincidence?
13:07I don't know, but I'll tell you this.
13:09Could this be an indication that we are getting very close
13:13to some of this ceramic-like material?
13:16Okay, there she is.
13:19All right.
13:20Travis, we've got the instrument.
13:23Good run.
13:24Copy that.
13:28We've got the data.
13:29Now my job is to go back and process it all,
13:32and hopefully have some results for you very soon.
13:34Okay.
13:37We are just about a third of the way down to our 33-foot mark
13:42that stopped that drill.
13:43That's really exciting.
13:45Yes.
13:45It's gratifying.
13:46Yeah.
13:47It was going to take Jan several days to process his data.
13:51I'm hoping it'll give us some real answers about whatever's happening inside this mesa.
13:56I say we call it a day.
13:59Productive day.
14:00Very productive.
14:07Hey, guys. Welcome.
14:09Chris, how are you doing?
14:11Good. How are you?
14:12I'm doing well.
14:13The next day, while drilling continued, Chris Roberts set up a video conference with Bob Dodge and his colleagues from
14:20Artemis Testing Lab in Louisville, Colorado.
14:23We want to determine how old the type A ceramic we found last year might be.
14:29A few weeks ago, Chris ran a UV light test on the type A ceramics, and the results were crazy.
14:35I've got four pieces in here.
14:37I saw some buildup and erosion that would take a long, long time to occur inside the mesa.
14:45How much time?
14:47Conservatively, it's in the thousands.
14:50Thousands.
14:51Chris found material built up on them that would take thousands of years to accumulate on the surface.
14:56If the ceramics are really that old, how could they also have advanced properties like the heat-absorbing tiles on
15:03the space shuttle?
15:04That's too crazy for me to even think about.
15:07So Artemis tested the ceramics with a dating test called thermoluminescence.
15:12Eric and I were really curious about what they've learned.
15:16Well, let's jump in.
15:18Let's see it.
15:20The thermoluminescence process, you take a sample from ceramics or pottery.
15:27We cut through that pottery, and then we get a very kind of simple dust amount of material.
15:34And then you put it into a very special type of contraption, and it measures the amount of stored light
15:42energy.
15:43This sample is heated up to 500 degrees Celsius.
15:48Some light is emitted during the process, and that's what we measure with the equipment.
15:55Okay, and it's the intensity, that value, that tells you the age?
16:00Yes.
16:00We can calculate an age for the sample.
16:04I'm on the edge of my seat here.
16:06Yeah.
16:08So this is an example of an old piece of pottery.
16:13It's 1,600 years old.
16:15So this piece is not from the ranch?
16:19Correct.
16:19That's a sample from an old pottery vessel.
16:25Perfect sample, very easy to analyze and read.
16:29So now, this is your sample.
16:35What the heck?
16:37That looks very messy.
16:40What is that?
16:41It's very messy.
16:42Basically, it's not gettable.
16:54You said it's not dateable?
16:59No, you cannot calculate anything from your samples.
17:03So, ceramics would be fired, but this material probably has not been fired, would be my assessment.
17:13When Bob said that the material had not been fired, what he meant was it was not created using a
17:20high amount of heat, which is how modern ceramics are made, especially the ones that are used to make heat
17:25-resistant tiles on spacecraft.
17:27Our previous lab tests showed that our type A ceramics behaved exactly like those kinds of materials.
17:34So these should have been easy to date with this test.
17:38There isn't the right ingredients to get a date?
17:42Correct.
17:43So, what is it?
17:45I'm not sure.
17:46Wow.
17:47We also did an XRF analysis of the material, and we're getting elements that would lead us to believe it
17:54is a plaster-like substance.
17:56And to illustrate that, I also printed a typical result on plaster.
18:04And you see, that's very, very similar.
18:09Oh, wow.
18:11So, it's plaster? Is that what you're saying, then?
18:14No, it's like plaster.
18:16It's like plaster.
18:18Well, it's not a plaster we've seen before.
18:21I would think it's a safe assessment.
18:25It's some kind of not-dateable material.
18:31It makes no sense that this material could be like plaster.
18:34When we found these type A ceramics, our drill bit had been destroyed, and the bit was literally fused to
18:40the drill bar.
18:41It would take something much more durable than plaster to do that.
18:45Well, we really appreciate your expertise, and we appreciate this information that gives us more questions,
18:50but maybe a new road to travel down to try and find some answers.
18:55All right.
18:56See you later.
18:57Thanks, guys.
18:59Would you expect a plaster material to survive the rigors of the drilling process?
19:04You take any plaster known to man, and you put that kind of force and torque on it, it's going
19:10to turn into powder.
19:12You know, we need to contact UVU again and see about getting access to the lab.
19:17Yeah, that'd be great.
19:18We were hoping this test would help us take a big step forward in figuring out these materials,
19:24but it didn't provide us anything conclusive.
19:27All we can say for sure is, we need to keep drilling to get down to that big object, and
19:33we need to keep looking for new tests to find answers about what we're dealing with inside the mesa.
19:39Well, it sounds like we're giving ourselves some marching orders. Thanks, guys.
19:44I'm going to get back to work.
19:53How fast is the wind blowing right now?
19:55That right there feels like 50.
19:57It's perfect to use the wind to our advantage.
20:00Yeah.
20:00Later that day, while the drillers kept working at the mesa, Eric and I wanted to turn our attention back
20:06to the bubble.
20:07There were crazy high winds forecast, which was the perfect weather for an experiment we've wanted to try for a
20:13long time.
20:14These are the right conditions to run a test with a smoke machine to see how the smoke interacts with
20:19the boundary of the bubble.
20:20We can exploit the fact that we've got the wind. You know, we have a, you know, we know what
20:25to expect. It should just blow right through.
20:28Well, so what I'm thinking is the wind's blowing west to east. So I say we get on the west
20:35side of the bubble and blow smoke at it while we drive back and forth through the boundary and watch
20:42it with cameras.
20:42Yeah.
20:43So what are you looking for to see if the currents are changing at all when they get to the
20:47boundary?
20:48See if the boundary does something unusual to the smoke flow.
20:51Yeah, that's right.
20:51If we see a change of direction, that would tell us we may have something else going on.
20:56Yeah.
20:57When we've detected the bubble during our experiments, it's always been centered at the triangle with a 2,000 foot
21:03radius.
21:03But what we don't know is if it's always there or if it's maybe something that gets activated to act
21:10like a giant spherical force field when we start using our equipment.
21:15It's almost like it's not even moving.
21:18I think something's stopping it.
21:20In the past, we've seen a helikite, drones. It's just stuck right there.
21:27And even rockets appear to bump against its boundary and be pushed away.
21:32So now we're curious if something like smoke would be affected in the same way.
21:37Maybe this experiment would show whether this thing is always present, even if we can't see it.
21:43I think it'd be fair to say that this is really more of just a passive measurement.
21:47Purely passive to see if it's there without us poking at it.
21:51Yeah.
21:51Well, it's fairly straightforward. Let's do it.
21:56All right.
21:57I'll keep an eye on things from the CC.
21:59That's great, Eric.
21:59I'll be giving you wind gusting alert.
22:01Yeah, that'll be good.
22:03I'm really interested to see what we'll learn, given the fact that it's a very simple approach.
22:09It's something we haven't done before.
22:11Will we see effects out of that boundary as we have in the past?
22:15Or will we learn something more about this bubble?
22:19I'll walk with the truck and watch for, you know, what we're seeing.
22:24And, Thomas, you run the smoke machine. Is that good?
22:26Yeah. Yeah, that sounds great. All right.
22:29The plan was simple.
22:31We're going to start just outside the bubble boundary.
22:34Then we'll reverse the truck with the smoke machine pointed towards it in the direction of the wind.
22:39The smoke should just shoot straight out if nothing is there to stop it.
22:43Hey, Eric, I'm setting up cameras right now so I can get as many views on the barrier wall as
22:50I can.
22:51Copy that.
22:52We also had several regular and high-speed cameras set up all around this area.
22:58This camera's ready to go, y'all.
23:00If the smoke did anything unusual today, we'd be ready to capture it.
23:05Well, all right, Eric, we've got everything in place to do the first test here on the western boundary of
23:10the bubble.
23:11We're going to get going, so we're going to start this thing right now.
23:15Copy that, Travis.
23:17All right, let's do it.
23:21I am recording.
23:25Our gusts are at 40 and a half miles per hour. Current wind speeds are 31.1.
23:31That's crazy. It's almost like we're having a hurricane out here or something.
23:37All right, let's back up.
23:40Hang on, Thomas.
23:47All right, Jim, we're approaching the bubble boundary.
23:50We're going to stop just short of it.
23:53Okay, stop there.
23:58Wow.
24:01Travis, it's being pushed back at us.
24:04It looks like it's coming our way.
24:05Yeah, it came backwards on us.
24:07Right at the wall.
24:09Yeah, I know.
24:11When we were right at the boundary of the bubble, it was a pretty significant and noticeable effect right there
24:18on the wall.
24:19The smoke seemed to lift up and kind of just really become discombobulated, as if some invisible force is stopping
24:27the smoke.
24:29Let's keep backing up through the boundary and see what happens.
24:33Copy that.
24:42We got through the boundary of the bubble.
24:45That's good, Jim.
24:49Now that we're inside the bubble, it looks like it's blowing normal.
24:53Isn't that weird?
24:54That's weird.
24:56Interestingly enough, as we proceeded through the bubble boundary, the smoke went from being completely chaotic to a well-organized
25:06stream of smoke in the same direction the wind was blowing.
25:09Can you believe this?
25:10It does seem to indicate that the boundary of the bubble seems to be affecting the smoke.
25:16Okay, Jim. Now just drive forward slowly.
25:20Copy that. Here we go.
25:23Now that the smoke is blowing in the direction of the wind inside the bubble, we're going to drive back
25:28outside of it to see if the smoke changes again at the bubble boundary.
25:33Now look right here in the bubble, look! Look! What the hell?
25:43Look! Look!
25:46That's crazy. Did that just reverse when we hit the bubble wall?
25:50As soon as we got outside, the smoke starts spreading out.
25:53We couldn't believe it. Even while moving and shooting smoke with the direction of 30-mile-an-hour winds, our
26:00smoke was being deflected and redirected by the bubble boundary.
26:04So either the smoke triggered the bubble to turn on its boundary in response to a stimulus, or we got
26:11more data telling us that it's always there.
26:15All right, I think we're good. Shut her down!
26:20Ooh, that thing's loud.
26:23Hey, Eric, you copy?
26:26Yeah, go ahead.
26:27Wow. The smoke, as we were on the outside of the bubble, it seemed to spread across like it was
26:34hitting something and move up and out.
26:37But once we got through the bubble, it was just going with the wind.
26:40Copy that. Not sure what to make of it yet.
26:44Let's move to the opposite side, see if the same thing happens at the eastern boundary of the bubble.
26:48So I'll get the assets trained on that area.
26:51Copy that.
26:52All right. Well, let's load up and head on.
26:56For this next test, we were going to take a little different approach.
27:01Since the wind's direction was blowing towards the eastern bubble boundary, we were going to approach it with our smoke
27:07machine from the inside going out.
27:10We wanted to see if the smoke flow would change again when it hits the inside of that boundary.
27:19Hey, man, we're in place and we're ready to start with the smoke.
27:23On the east side of the bubble, we're just going to back up from inside of this time and we'll
27:28ease through it like we did over there.
27:31Yeah, Travis, I copy.
27:34All right, host.
27:37All right, Jim, come on back.
27:48Okay, we're approaching the bubble boundary now.
27:53All right, Jim, stop. Let's stay here for a minute.
27:57That's crazy right there. Look at that.
28:02I'm seeing the same thing that I saw over on the western side.
28:06That when we're right at that bubble boundary, the smoke is going everywhere and I'm seeing a substantial lift as
28:13if it's being pushed upwards.
28:17All right, Jim, come on back some.
28:17We're going to swirl it behind us.
28:19Swirl it behind us, yeah.
28:23All right, Jim, come on back some.
28:29Okay, we are through the bubble boundary.
28:33Now it seems to be going straight.
28:35Yeah.
28:40I'm not seeing a blue one.
28:42No, it's not, no.
28:45Just like before, the smoke started shooting straight with the direction of the wind the second it got past where
28:52we've marked the bubble boundary.
28:54Now, drive slowly back into the bubble.
29:08Now, look, it's starting to spread and go up.
29:12Now it's starting to rotate.
29:14Yeah.
29:15But no matter if we were inside or outside of the bubble, the smoke reacted any time it was blowing
29:22against the boundary.
29:24It is absolutely following the boundary.
29:26Absolutely it is.
29:28All right, Jim, that's good.
29:35Boy, from in there, it looked like you got the same thing.
29:38Yeah.
29:39Was it stopping right there?
29:40Yeah, it was going up.
29:41Like it's something stopping it.
29:43And then when we got through it, it just went straight on down the driveway.
29:45Yeah.
29:45Isn't that something?
29:46Unbelievable.
29:47It was very chaotic.
29:48It was like trying to go right, trying to go left.
29:50But it wasn't going down the road like you expected.
29:53Yeah.
29:53But then at a certain point, it all went.
29:56I know.
29:56Hey, Eric, you copy?
29:58I copy.
30:00The wind's still going strong, so let's move on to the triangle.
30:03Maybe we'll see some effects in that blob region.
30:06We're going to wrap up and then head on to the triangle.
30:09Copy that.
30:10I'll get the assets ready at the triangle.
30:13After we finished the second run through the bubble boundary, we had one more smoke test planned.
30:18This time at the triangle, where we've seen all kinds of evidence of an invisible thing that we call the
30:25blob right at about 31 feet in the air.
30:32We've seen it appear to destroy and deflect rockets right at that spot more times than we can count.
30:42Let's go on up.
30:43Okay.
30:45So we used a cherry picker to lift the smoke machine up there to see if the smoke might also
30:50get us more data, proving the blob is real and maybe connected to the bubble.
30:57Hey, Eric, do you copy?
30:58We're about to start the smoke over here at the triangle.
31:01Are you ready?
31:02I'm ready to take data.
31:04All right, let's crank it up.
31:05All right, Eric, we're about to go.
31:27That's interesting when it does that.
31:30What's that?
31:31Sometimes it pushes it down.
31:33That's kind of big.
31:33I ain't seen anything go down.
31:35All right, look at that.
31:35It should be going straight ahead with the wind.
31:39But right at that 31-foot mark, something's pushing it down.
31:43That's crazy.
31:56It's pushing it down.
31:58That's crazy.
32:00I didn't know what we were looking at.
32:02It was like something invisible was right there, 31 feet high above the triangle, and it was making some of
32:09the smoke shoot downward instead of straight ahead with the wind.
32:13When it comes to getting evidence of the blob, I mean, talk about your literal smoke and gun.
32:21All right, I think we're good.
32:23It's pretty convincing that there's something here.
32:29Well, we're finished here.
32:31I can't wait to see what you captured on the cameras we got out here.
32:34I'm looking at it.
32:35It's going to take some head scratching to interpret what I'm seeing.
32:39Well, so many things have played out in this space that are a little difficult to explain.
32:43I'd really like to understand how.
32:46I can't wait for us to take a look at the data and see what insights we find to show
32:52us what the heck is going on.
32:54All right, man, we're going to head on in.
32:56All right, I'll see you when you get back.
32:58Copy that.
33:00I was not expecting to see something like that.
33:02Yeah.
33:10What's going on, fellas?
33:12I've got the results of our experiment with the smoke gun.
33:16All right, cool.
33:17I want to start with a video I recorded from a camera on the Mesa processed through the MetaFrame software.
33:24You know, you're looking down from the top of the Mesa.
33:26You know, I'm zoomed in on your location on the western side of the bubble.
33:31And I should probably explain, you know, the colors and all that.
33:35You know, this is not how we normally see things.
33:37I've applied a filter to detect any motion changes captured on the camera.
33:42So anything that moves like our smoke will show up in bright colors.
33:46Where you see black, it's not that it's dark, it's that nothing has changed.
33:51You guys are stationed here looking for, you know, any behavior in that smoke that we wouldn't expect from normal
33:58airflow.
33:59OK, got it.
34:01Now, watch what happens here.
34:02This is when you guys were parked outside the bubble boundary.
34:06You can see the bright colors here, which is our smoke.
34:10And you'll notice we can see upward movement of the smoke.
34:14Oh, yeah, look at that.
34:15All in this direction and in this direction.
34:19So it's doing this.
34:20It's fanning like this.
34:21Now, which direction was the wind predominantly moving, though?
34:26It was doing this.
34:27Right down that road, yeah.
34:28And yet you're seeing, you know, the spreading of the bright area to the left and right, which is interesting,
34:33right?
34:33Right.
34:34OK, so I'll just continue letting that play at its natural rate.
34:39Look how high the smoke's going up.
34:41Mm-hmm.
34:43Can you back that up a little bit?
34:45Sure.
34:46All right.
34:47Go ahead and let it play.
34:48OK.
34:49So if you start looking in, you'll start to see in here and it starts moving up, which, you know,
34:56our bubble boundary is right there.
34:57I can see it now.
34:59I didn't even notice it got high.
35:01That's got to be hundreds of feet in the air.
35:03Correct.
35:04Why?
35:05Why is it going up?
35:07Does the bubble, does the structure we're talking about, actually introduce its own effects on the smoke?
35:14And that's what we were looking for, to see if there's something invisible that's going to change that normal flow.
35:22It was one thing to see the smoke pushed around in real time at ground level.
35:27But Eric's metaframe showed that the smoke appeared to get pulled up and around the bubble boundary more than 100
35:34feet in the air.
35:36Normally, it should have dissipated in all that wind.
35:39So, could the bubble boundary have displaced the smoke that much?
35:43How?
35:44Now, let me show you an alternate perspective of the video that was shot out of the western boundary of
35:51the bubble as you guys are approaching.
35:54Now, part of what makes this interesting is we're looking at a 120 frame per second video, okay, from over
36:02on the north side of the canal.
36:04Yeah, very fast.
36:05I'm intrigued.
36:06Now, what I'm going to do is zoom in and apply a filter.
36:12Wow.
36:13Okay, so I'm playing through this.
36:16Out of nowhere, we've got something moving around.
36:20Oh, yeah, look at that. Look at that. I can see it now.
36:25That's got to be hundreds of feet in the air.
36:28Yeah.
36:29Look at that.
36:30Right there. Look at that.
36:31Yeah.
36:32What in the world is that?
36:40Right there. Look at that.
36:41Yeah.
36:41What in the world is that?
36:46Whatever this is, it's moving freely against the wind.
36:50Yeah, like it's not even having an effect on it.
36:52And that's 120 frames per second.
36:55Lord, that thing's moving fast.
36:58Watching this UAP in the enhanced, slowed down video clearly showed how it was able to maneuver without any wind
37:06resistance.
37:07I don't think a bug or even a bird could do that in a 30 mile an hour plus wind.
37:12So what was it? And did it come from something inside the bubble?
37:19That right there is what is real interesting to me, where it stops and it hovers right there.
37:25Yeah, it kind of lifts around and stops.
37:26Yeah.
37:28I can't believe you saw that, Eric.
37:29Well, there's some things that when you see them, you can't unsee them.
37:34Are we looking at something that could be called a UAP? I don't know.
37:39It is interesting that it showed up when we were pumping smoke at the bubble boundary.
37:45It makes me wonder whether these things are related somehow.
37:51All right.
37:52I want to play into the next event from the triangle.
37:55Now, this is video of our last smoke test, 31 feet above the triangle, processed through Metaframe.
38:01And we're punched way in.
38:03You can see two towers out there.
38:05The tower on the right is just below where we've seen that blob feature before.
38:10Right.
38:11Once again, I've got that change detection filter on, so changes will show up lighter than what you see here.
38:18Yeah.
38:18Yeah.
38:19Right.
38:19Okay.
38:20So at this point, already the smoke is flowing at the center of the triangle.
38:25It's flowing the way we would expect it to until it reaches the area where we've seen the blob.
38:31Wow.
38:32Right there.
38:33See where it's coming down?
38:34Mm-hmm.
38:35We did see the smoke dive down, come about five feet off the ground.
38:39Yeah, you can see it right here at the bottom piece, it doesn't?
38:42Yes.
38:42You can see that.
38:42Okay.
38:46You see how the smoke is not coming out in a smooth path.
38:50It's got a line to it that is right over the tower where the rocket hit the blob.
38:56Okay, so if I frame forward, it maintains that advancing front?
39:01Look at that.
39:02Yeah, look at that.
39:03Okay.
39:03During the experiment, we only saw it going down, but it looks like it was going up around
39:08something, too.
39:09Let's see right there, it stopped.
39:11I'm gonna draw on the screen.
39:13Yeah.
39:13Go for it.
39:15Look at the boundary it makes.
39:17That right there is almost a perfect circle.
39:21Mm-hmm.
39:21So is this the blob?
39:23Mm-hmm.
39:24Once again, we're seeing the smoke being manipulated right where we've previously seen evidence
39:30of the blob.
39:32The smoke even looked like it was moving around a blob-like shape.
39:36Are we looking at more evidence that there is definitely something there at that spot,
39:4031 feet above the triangle?
39:43So now that we've seen these flow patterns in the smoke, does this help explain anything
39:48we've seen?
39:49Well, it doesn't explain it, but I think it showed more evidence that the bubble and
39:53the blob are real and maybe always present.
39:57Now we need to figure out what they are.
39:59Yeah.
40:00Yeah, I think this informs future experiments we do in both places.
40:04Right.
40:04Back to poking harder at the nest for some answers.
40:07As I say, we get to it.
40:10Yeah.
40:10Let's do it.
40:11Great.
40:12See you guys.
40:17As we have elevated the experimental activity in the region that we call the bubble, we
40:23see more UAP activity coupled with other high strangeness than ever before.
40:28It will be no surprise if we continue to see phenomena unfold before our very eyes, so
40:36long as we continue to focus on the bubble.
40:41You see one rocket do something odd, you chalk it up to chance.
40:45But when you see multiple things, smoke, rockets, drones, helikites, you name it, all
40:52showing the same kinds of effects, I think we've proven that the bubble is a real phenomenon.
40:57And we're going to hit it with everything we've got until we figure out what it is and how
41:03it's related to the blob and whatever's buried inside the mesa.
41:08That space just above the triangle and the bubble boundary continues to draw our attention.
41:14We are engaging with several very interesting features, both of a very physical nature and
41:21and an abstract nature.
41:24I think we are going to have to retool the approach to the unknown on the ranch.
41:29.
