He's from Hot Shots. 206 00:12:04,000 --> 00:12:05,000 Derek and Eric. 207 00:12:05,000 --> 00:12:06,000 Okay, I can remember that. 208 00:12:06,000 --> 00:12:08,000 Nice to meet you, man. 209 00:12:08,000 --> 00:12:13,000 So I brought Derek out to do a thermographic imaging of the entire property. 210 00:12:13,000 --> 00:12:20,000 He's a drone expert, and I think he can show us some things that may be just beneath the surface of the soil here. 211 00:12:20,000 --> 00:12:26,000 The results of Robert Bigelow's investigation have never been fully released. 212 00:12:26,000 --> 00:12:34,000 There are rumors about some kind of base or perhaps an alien artifact beneath the property. 213 00:12:34,000 --> 00:12:40,000 Using drone thermography, perhaps there is, in fact, something under the ground that will show up in our imagery. 214 00:12:40,000 --> 00:12:44,000 Really looking forward to seeing what comes out of our work today. 215 00:12:44,000 --> 00:12:47,000 Yeah, yeah. We've got some of the best technology out there right now. 216 00:12:47,000 --> 00:12:52,000 Drone itself is about $35,000 in every image and every pixel of that image. 217 00:12:52,000 --> 00:12:53,000 You're able to capture the temperatures. 218 00:12:53,000 --> 00:12:54,000 Wow. 219 00:12:54,000 --> 00:12:55,000 It's crazy technology. 220 00:12:55,000 --> 00:13:03,000 So for example, if there were something, say, a stone structure beneath the surface of the soil, let's say maybe two, three feet down. 221 00:13:03,000 --> 00:13:06,000 It's right below, and it's actually hotter than everything else. 222 00:13:06,000 --> 00:13:07,000 It's creating a signature. 223 00:13:07,000 --> 00:13:09,000 Then we will go find that and see that. 224 00:13:09,000 --> 00:13:10,000 Right. That's cool stuff, man. 225 00:13:10,000 --> 00:13:11,000 I'm excited to see what you got. 226 00:13:11,000 --> 00:13:12,000 So let's get going. 227 00:13:12,000 --> 00:13:13,000 Yeah. 228 00:13:13,000 --> 00:13:22,000 Because of any large metal objects or structures located underground are likely to have a higher temperature, it should appear on Derek's camera as a darker color. 229 00:13:22,000 --> 00:13:31,000 So if we see anything out of the ordinary, we can pinpoint it as a place where we can come back later and maybe dig. 230 00:13:31,000 --> 00:13:42,000 Okay, all clear. 231 00:13:42,000 --> 00:13:45,000 I think they're so cool. 232 00:13:45,000 --> 00:13:46,000 Now watch carefully what happens. 233 00:13:46,000 --> 00:13:49,000 I'll give you guys an example of the capability here. 234 00:13:49,000 --> 00:13:50,000 So we got a thermal camera. 235 00:13:50,000 --> 00:13:54,000 We see something and we're not sure what it is in the thermal image. 236 00:13:54,000 --> 00:13:58,000 We can immediately switch over to the regular image and get a closer look. 237 00:13:58,000 --> 00:14:01,000 Watch the zoom here when I do this. 238 00:14:01,000 --> 00:14:02,000 It's amazing. 239 00:14:02,000 --> 00:14:04,000 You can get a leaf. 240 00:14:04,000 --> 00:14:07,000 So if there's a mountain line up in there, you probably see that. 241 00:14:07,000 --> 00:14:09,000 Oh, yeah. 242 00:14:09,000 --> 00:14:14,000 So right in here, there's a whole bunch of caves that we get a lot of radiation out of. 243 00:14:14,000 --> 00:14:16,000 We got some black stuff right there. 244 00:14:16,000 --> 00:14:17,000 See all the side of there? 245 00:14:17,000 --> 00:14:19,000 Is that a shadow or is that a cool spot? 246 00:14:19,000 --> 00:14:21,000 Well, let's find out. 247 00:14:21,000 --> 00:14:23,000 I think you're looking at shadow. 248 00:14:23,000 --> 00:14:25,000 Yeah, that's all shadows. 249 00:14:25,000 --> 00:14:31,000 So Eric, what are you mostly curious about checking out with all this thermo imagery? 250 00:14:31,000 --> 00:14:37,000 What I'd like to do is I'd like to put that drone as high in the sky as I can and look straight down and fly over the field. 251 00:14:37,000 --> 00:14:41,000 We'll go up and get that for you. 252 00:14:41,000 --> 00:14:48,000 Let's suppose we have some really big structure under the property, like circular thing, something rectangular. 253 00:14:48,000 --> 00:14:58,000 If we see shapes like that in the thermal profile, then that may be a hint as to where something unusual is located under the ground. 254 00:14:58,000 --> 00:15:03,000 So what would account for this boundary here between this area and this area? 255 00:15:03,000 --> 00:15:09,000 Just the way things are hitting the sun, the vegetation of it, is longer in one area than the other than it's creating shade somewhere. 256 00:15:09,000 --> 00:15:11,000 I like the striations there. That's interesting. 257 00:15:11,000 --> 00:15:13,000 That's the big pet. 258 00:15:13,000 --> 00:15:14,000 What's that? 259 00:15:14,000 --> 00:15:21,000 The previous ownership put cattle or dogs or whatever in that area as an early warning or detection system. 260 00:15:21,000 --> 00:15:23,000 That it wasn't us? 261 00:15:23,000 --> 00:15:25,000 Yeah, not at all. 262 00:15:28,000 --> 00:15:35,000 Immediately upon Robert Bigelow's occupation of the property and bringing the scientific team on Skinwalker Ranch, 263 00:15:35,000 --> 00:15:41,000 they installed observation towers with razor wire and enclosures around them. 264 00:15:42,000 --> 00:15:47,000 With the constant daylight cattle mutilations that were occurring on the property, 265 00:15:47,000 --> 00:15:54,000 the idea was to actually place livestock in these enclosures to see the phenomenon at work. 266 00:15:57,000 --> 00:16:04,000 That study and a lot of the findings that came out of those years remain under lock and key. 267 00:16:05,000 --> 00:16:10,000 So far, what you've seen, have you seen any hard edges, corners, anything? 268 00:16:10,000 --> 00:16:13,000 I haven't seen anything that just seems abnormal. 269 00:16:14,000 --> 00:16:19,000 Even though everything from UFO sightings to cattle mutilations have happened on this part of the ranch, 270 00:16:19,000 --> 00:16:22,000 we didn't see anything unusual underground. 271 00:16:22,000 --> 00:16:25,000 Yeah, well this is all data that we've got. 272 00:16:25,000 --> 00:16:28,000 I think we can bring it in and then let's head on to the western end of the property. 273 00:16:28,000 --> 00:16:30,000 Alright, that works. 274 00:16:32,000 --> 00:16:35,000 We decided to head over to what's known as Homestead 2. 275 00:16:35,000 --> 00:16:39,000 It's right by the area of the Mesa where we've been getting all these radiation spikes. 276 00:16:39,000 --> 00:16:43,000 It's also where there's been a concentration of strange phenomena, 277 00:16:43,000 --> 00:16:47,000 like glowing lights at night and even some reported paranormal activity. 278 00:16:48,000 --> 00:16:54,000 Homestead 2 was built in 1905 by John and Emma Myers, who lived there and raised cattle. 279 00:16:54,000 --> 00:17:00,000 It's been abandoned since the 1930s and a lot of the locals think it's haunted. 280 00:17:01,000 --> 00:17:05,000 So we go out just around the point of the Mesa here. 281 00:17:05,000 --> 00:17:06,000 Okay. 282 00:17:07,000 --> 00:17:14,000 It seems to be that a lot of the activity or strangeness that we encounter is centered around those homesteads. 283 00:17:14,000 --> 00:17:16,000 You can see the old homestead right there. 284 00:17:16,000 --> 00:17:17,000 Right. 285 00:17:17,000 --> 00:17:22,000 We have things from batteries on equipment going from 100% to zero in a matter of seconds, 286 00:17:22,000 --> 00:17:27,000 people feeling vertigo or not being able to hear sound. 287 00:17:28,000 --> 00:17:29,000 All set. 288 00:17:29,000 --> 00:17:30,000 Ready to go. 289 00:17:30,000 --> 00:17:38,000 Well, so our hotspots right here on top of the Mesa and right over in this area is the cave that we've been observing. 290 00:17:38,000 --> 00:17:42,000 And then these houses here, we want to make sure we get good views of them, right?

344 00:20:34,000 --> 00:20:37,000 We should get those tri-field meters out here. 345 00:20:37,000 --> 00:20:44,000 So after the drone stopped working, I figured out a way that we could modify our meters so that they could help us pinpoint the source of this interference. 346 00:20:44,000 --> 00:20:47,000 So real quick, I'll show y'all what we're going to do. 347 00:20:47,000 --> 00:20:55,000 Right now, I'm not sure when we're holding these meters any particular way which direction the signal's coming from. 348 00:20:55,000 --> 00:20:56,000 That's what these are for. 349 00:20:56,000 --> 00:20:59,000 We put this in the can, turn it on. 350 00:20:59,000 --> 00:21:00,000 Right. 351 00:21:00,000 --> 00:21:06,000 That's going to allow us to do directional measurements, and that'll tell us which direction the signal's coming from. 352 00:21:09,000 --> 00:21:11,000 Oh, my God, that's huge. 353 00:21:11,000 --> 00:21:12,000 That's a 900. 354 00:21:12,000 --> 00:21:13,000 900? 355 00:21:13,000 --> 00:21:14,000 There's a blip there. 356 00:21:14,000 --> 00:21:16,000 There's a huge peak right now at 900 megahertz. 357 00:21:16,000 --> 00:21:19,000 It is totally pegged out right now. 358 00:21:19,000 --> 00:21:23,000 As I turn it away, and as I turn it that way, it picks back up. 359 00:21:23,000 --> 00:21:28,000 This is strange because the coffee cans block out any extraneous RF signals. 360 00:21:28,000 --> 00:21:34,000 It seems that the radiation might be coming from above the ground and not below like we all suspected. 361 00:21:34,000 --> 00:21:38,000 Now to prove it, we need to get measurements from three random locations on the ranch. 362 00:21:38,000 --> 00:21:43,000 And by pointing our meters in the direction toward where we get the strongest reading and see where they intersect, 363 00:21:43,000 --> 00:21:47,000 we can then use triangulation to pinpoint exactly where this radiation's coming from. 364 00:21:47,000 --> 00:21:50,000 Okay, so here's what we need to do, guys. 365 00:21:50,000 --> 00:21:56,000 While we know there's a signal there, let's run some distance from here, like maybe over to the corner of the helipad area. 366 00:21:58,000 --> 00:22:01,000 We are pegged out, pointed in this direction. 367 00:22:01,000 --> 00:22:02,000 Where's my phone? 368 00:22:02,000 --> 00:22:04,000 Let's get a reading from both phones, right? 369 00:22:04,000 --> 00:22:05,000 Yep. 370 00:22:05,000 --> 00:22:10,000 Then we can draw a line from here, straight that way, straight in the direction, 371 00:22:10,000 --> 00:22:13,000 and then from over there draw a line, and wherever those lines cross, 372 00:22:13,000 --> 00:22:15,000 is that it should be where the signal's coming from. 373 00:22:15,000 --> 00:22:17,000 Here, let me hold that. 374 00:22:17,000 --> 00:22:21,000 If I go like this, I'm picking up horizontal stuff, if I go like this, I'm picking up vertical. 375 00:22:21,000 --> 00:22:24,000 So I get my biggest readings when I'm like this, looking up. 376 00:22:24,000 --> 00:22:26,000 Yeah, it's straight, it's coming straight up. 377 00:22:26,000 --> 00:22:27,000 That is perfectly plumb. 378 00:22:27,000 --> 00:22:29,000 It's coming from up there. 379 00:22:32,000 --> 00:22:34,000 Look at it, it's going nuts. 380 00:22:34,000 --> 00:22:36,000 Look at it jumping, like crazy. 381 00:22:36,000 --> 00:22:42,000 All right, right now we need to get in a vehicle and drive to the far corners of the ranch 382 00:22:42,000 --> 00:22:45,000 and make this measurement and mark where we were, where we made it, 383 00:22:45,000 --> 00:22:47,000 so then we can map it on a map. 384 00:22:51,000 --> 00:22:54,000 So we just need to find the spot that we can use as a marker. 385 00:22:54,000 --> 00:22:56,000 What about right there? 386 00:22:56,000 --> 00:22:58,000 So this flower will be our spot. 387 00:23:00,000 --> 00:23:01,000 All right. 388 00:23:02,000 --> 00:23:05,000 It's pegging out right now. 389 00:23:05,000 --> 00:23:07,000 It's pegging out on yours. 390 00:23:07,000 --> 00:23:08,000 Pect. 391 00:23:08,000 --> 00:23:10,000 What's the pitch angle of these right now? 392 00:23:10,000 --> 00:23:11,000 We're right around 38. 393 00:23:11,000 --> 00:23:12,000 Close to 40. 394 00:23:12,000 --> 00:23:18,000 Well, I think we got what we need from here, so we need to go either as far east or as far west 395 00:23:18,000 --> 00:23:20,000 and get one more point. 396 00:23:21,000 --> 00:23:25,000 We got to find a point down here and make the same measurements that we made up there. 397 00:23:32,000 --> 00:23:37,000 All right, so what we got to do is get some reference points where we took the measurements. 398 00:23:37,000 --> 00:23:41,000 Now that Jim and Tom and I recorded three different points across the ranch 399 00:23:41,000 --> 00:23:43,000 where these radiation spikes keep occurring, 400 00:23:43,000 --> 00:23:47,000 we're going to go plot them out on a map and see exactly where they intersect. 401 00:23:47,000 --> 00:23:50,000 Right here is a spot, right? 402 00:23:50,000 --> 00:23:52,000 We had right next to the helipad right there. 403 00:23:52,000 --> 00:23:56,000 Right there, okay, and then we were right here by a power pole. 404 00:23:56,000 --> 00:23:58,000 Right there is the shadow of the power pole. 405 00:23:58,000 --> 00:23:59,000 Yeah, good, good. 406 00:23:59,000 --> 00:24:02,000 So right there, so there's one, two, three. 407 00:24:02,000 --> 00:24:07,000 Let's see, and we'll need the angles that we measured from each of the points. 408 00:24:07,000 --> 00:24:13,000 We figured out the angles that we were detecting energy from the sky at three different points, 409 00:24:13,000 --> 00:24:17,000 and these angles are going to cross at some point above the ranch. 410 00:24:17,000 --> 00:24:22,000 Using some basic high school trigonometry, we can calculate that height. 411 00:24:22,000 --> 00:24:25,000 This one was like that. 412 00:24:25,000 --> 00:24:28,000 Now look, they're going to cross up here somewhere. 413 00:24:28,000 --> 00:24:29,000 Yep. 414 00:24:29,000 --> 00:24:32,000 And this one was like that. 415 00:24:32,000 --> 00:24:34,000 So how high is that? 416 00:24:34,000 --> 00:24:37,000 Who's got that calculator? 417 00:24:37,000 --> 00:24:40,000 Yeah, it's just, it's 5,700 feet. 418 00:24:40,000 --> 00:24:44,000 One mile high. 419 00:24:44,000 --> 00:24:47,000 Do we ever see airplanes flying at a mile high over there? 420 00:24:47,000 --> 00:24:49,000 What does that mean, even? 421 00:24:49,000 --> 00:24:53,000 So one mile high is only about a sixth as high as jets fly. 422 00:24:53,000 --> 00:24:58,000 That means that whatever is doing this should be seen by the naked eye. 423 00:24:58,000 --> 00:24:59,000 So why can't we? 424 00:24:59,000 --> 00:25:01,000 This just doesn't add up. 425 00:25:01,000 --> 00:25:06,000 We took scientifically accurate measurements, and they lead us to a spot somewhere up here over the ranch. 426 00:25:06,000 --> 00:25:08,000 That is our next measurement. 427 00:25:08,000 --> 00:25:15,000 And the way we could do that is we tether a weather balloon and raise it up through that region that has equipment on it. 428 00:25:15,000 --> 00:25:18,000 We get it up there and see if we see something there. 429 00:25:18,000 --> 00:25:21,000 If we see something there, that's even more exciting. 430 00:25:21,000 --> 00:25:22,000 It sounds like fun. 431 00:25:22,000 --> 00:25:24,000 Hey, yeah, that's awesome. 432 00:25:24,000 --> 00:25:30,000 Yeah, every time we think we have an idea of a solution, the answer ends up being something weirder. 433 00:25:39,000 --> 00:25:40,000 Hey, Matt. 434 00:25:40,000 --> 00:25:41,000 Thanks, Travis. 435 00:25:41,000 --> 00:25:42,000 How you doing, man? 436 00:25:42,000 --> 00:25:43,000 I'm great. How are you? 437 00:25:43,000 --> 00:25:44,000 Good to see you. 438 00:25:44,000 --> 00:25:45,000 Good to see you too. 439 00:25:45,000 --> 00:25:46,000 This is Thomas. 440 00:25:46,000 --> 00:25:47,000 Matt Turner. 441 00:25:47,000 --> 00:25:50,000 The strange energy source was coming from about a mile above the ranch. 442 00:25:50,000 --> 00:25:52,000 I called up a friend of mine, Dr. Matt Turner. 443 00:25:52,000 --> 00:25:54,000 He's from the University of Alabama in Huntsville. 444 00:25:54,000 --> 00:26:00,000 He's got a PhD in mechanical and aerospace engineering, and he's an expert in the use of weather balloons. 445 00:26:00,000 --> 00:26:05,000 We've measured some really strong RF fields coming from the sky. 446 00:26:05,000 --> 00:26:11,000 And so we think there's a focus somewhere, and we're guessing that the focus may be as much as a mile high. 447 00:26:11,000 --> 00:26:15,000 So what I'd like to do is set up an experiment, and let's start measuring that. 448 00:26:15,000 --> 00:26:16,000 That sounds great. 449 00:26:16,000 --> 00:26:17,000 We've got balloons. 450 00:26:17,000 --> 00:26:18,000 We've got helium. 451 00:26:18,000 --> 00:26:22,000 We've got some payload platforms, and we just need your meters, and we're good to go. 452 00:26:22,000 --> 00:26:24,000 All right, let's get everything loaded up, and let's do that. 453 00:26:24,000 --> 00:26:25,000 Excellent. 454 00:26:28,000 --> 00:26:30,000 Just go down the road and hit it right over there. 455 00:26:34,000 --> 00:26:36,000 I think this is a good spot, guys. 456 00:26:36,000 --> 00:26:42,000 Based on the triangulation of where these strange microwave and radio signals are coming from, 457 00:26:42,000 --> 00:26:47,000 what we're going to do is use a weather balloon with instruments on it to fly it through the point on the ranch 458 00:26:47,000 --> 00:26:49,000 where we believe this stuff is coming from. 459 00:26:49,000 --> 00:26:53,000 All right, so with this balloon, with the tether especially, we should be able to pick an altitude 460 00:26:53,000 --> 00:26:59,000 and go to that altitude and measure with the tri-field meters and dial in the altitude that we want. 461 00:26:59,000 --> 00:27:00,000 Nice. 462 00:27:00,000 --> 00:27:06,000 So at the end of the day, if we could have a chart that says altitude, RF energy, and show the plot, that would be amazing. 463 00:27:06,000 --> 00:27:11,000 After attaching one of our RF meters to measure possible radio or microwave energy, 464 00:27:11,000 --> 00:27:16,000 we've also attached a camera so that we can photograph what happens when the balloon's up in the sky. 465 00:27:16,000 --> 00:27:17,000 All right, Caleb. 466 00:27:17,000 --> 00:27:18,000 I'm on the hole. 467 00:27:22,000 --> 00:27:29,000 What Travis is trying to measure, I've never heard of that occurring on Earth, but the physics behind it is sound, 468 00:27:29,000 --> 00:27:32,000 so it could exist, we just don't know it yet. 469 00:27:33,000 --> 00:27:34,000 Okay. 470 00:27:36,000 --> 00:27:38,000 So we're connected to the top of the chute. 471 00:27:39,000 --> 00:27:40,000 You guys ready?
