FLAMETHROWER Reveals Bizarre Blob-Like Phenomenon | The Secret of Skinwalker Ranch

Oh. Here we are.
All right.
You guys got a lot of it already set up.

Yeah. We’re halfway there.

[TRAVIS]: For tonight’s experiment, Burdette Anderson will be recording with his high-speed cameras, which take 5,000 frames per second.
And technologist David Mason will also be filming the experiment with his high-resolution thermal FLIR cameras that can visualize anything with an anomalous heat signature that the naked eye can’t see.

If anything affects the shape of the flames, or if the blob itself appears again from the electricity stimulation, hopefully tonight we’ll finally be able to figure out what in the world it really is.

I think we got this station set up.
Yep, looks good.

[ERIK]: You ready over there, Travis?
Yeah, man. I am.

Even though we were eager to see what would happen when the flamethrower was used at the triangle, in all of our previous experiments there, we’ve had great success stimulating phenomena to occur by launching rockets.

So to be consistent, Erik and I decided that’s the best way to start tonight.

Three… two… one.

[EXPLOSION]

Did you get that, Burdette?
Oh, yeah.

Hey guys, you should take a look at this.
You’re gonna wanna see this.

Yeah?
Look at that.

[BURDETTE]: There is our 31‑foot mark.
It takes a distinct turn right into it and like around it.

That’s right where it exploded last time.
Right… exactly right there.

How ’bout that? At the exact same height.

Then as soon as we get up at about 75, 80 feet, it starts going straight again.

[TRAVIS]: It’s crazy.
Did you see that?

Yeah.
We do not have a good explanation for that.
That defies rocket science.
That is not what that was supposed to do.

Let’s reset for the flamethrower.

I’m ready to go. Everything’s downloaded.
All right.

[ENGINE STARTS]

That’s 31 feet.
I’m ready. I’m rolling, ready to trigger.

All right, Bryant, I’m gonna give you a countdown from five.

Five…
Four, three…
Two, one.

Wow.
Oh my goodness.

[TRAVIS]: Oh my goodness. Look at that.

[ERIK]: I can feel that right here.
Whoa.
Wow.

Nice.

[FLAMES RUMBLING]

[ERIK]: Perfect, Nathan.

I have something that might look a little strange.
What?

Let me call the guys over and we’ll take a look.

What are you guys seein’?
I see—look at this.

[TRAVIS]: Oh!
Burdette, frame back on this one a little bit and frame through it.

[BURDETTE]: Okay.

[TRAVIS]: Yeah, there’s clearly some empty spots.

[NATHAN]: I’ll tell you guys, we’ve seen a lot of footage of our flames shooting out, and it’s not typical that we have this separation.

Really?
That’s correct. That’s not typical at all.

Why is it horseshoeing?

[TRAVIS]: It’s hitting something, or there’s an air current there or something.

Yeah, I’m not sure.
It seems to be going around it.

[TRAVIS]: It was great that we had Burdette’s camera system because even though we didn’t see it in the moment, when we played the high-speed camera shots back, something at the 31‑foot level literally split the flame from Nathan’s device in two.

This experiment gave us incredible correlating data that something strange that diverts physical objects does exist at the 31‑foot level.

Was it the blob?
Was it evidence of a portal?

Well, I’m not certain about any of that, but we do have a lot of recorded data to review, and maybe it’ll help us figure it out.

It’s becoming repeatable that when we launch rockets from this spot, we are getting a strange maneuver with the rocket when it gets about 30 to 40 feet up there.

And it’s happening more times than not, which is statistically weird.

Then seeing the flames do the weird things—both times we saw these strange vortices occur.
Like there are voids in them, or they break apart.

I don’t know what to make of that.

Well, I’m looking forward to sitting in the command center in a day or two and reviewing the footage more closely.

I think we’ve accomplished everything we can do tonight.
So I’m all for calling it a day.

Yeah, we got a lot of equipment to pack up.
I say we load everything and call it a night.

Yep.
Get outta here.
I second that.

Thanks, everyone.
All right, let’s do it.
