Yahoo! Season 2, episode 2 last night proves once again while History Channel totally gets its viewers, Brandon Fugal did an excellent job bringing info forward to the public and forming a team, and the production company putting this show together is a dream team.
**SPOILER ALERT - WE DISCUSS THE PLOT**
Researcher Dennis Guern and I are going to give you a recap and let y'all know what we liked and what we would advise as far as the ongoing research at Skinwalker Ranch goes....
The episode opened with the men discussing the incident at the end of the last episode. A strange light was seen that appeared rectangular and golden-orange glowing.
Interestingly, Dennis and I saw such a thing in the sky we called a burning mail slot. It was seen twice here South of Phoenix by us.
The men shined a light on it and it disappeared.
When they headed back to the command center, something streaked across the sky.

Brandon called it insidious and as if something was monitoring them. He suggested bringing in researcher Ryan Skinner, who had been studying the lands around the mesa for some time. In fact, he had an experience of a ball of light chasing him.
Interestingly, I witnessed two similar balls of red orange light dancing around and appearing to try to interact with me and a friend in the desert years ago in the same area as the odd burning mail slot thing Dennis and I saw.
Ryan took the team to a pictogram up on the mesa and Travis saw planetary alignments on it and what looked like the outline of the mesa in the scene. Ryan saw a triangle that reminded him of the past owners of the ranch who thought some lit things came out of a portal.
The team decides to talk to an expert on pictograms.
Meanwhile, the team is relieved at the arrival of Dr. Dean Taylor, a veterinarean. They wanted him to study the dead cow from last season, that was dragged to a remote part of the property, but no scavengers touched it for a year.
Alan Garfunkel, anthropologist/archaeologist and glyph expert, had a look at the site. The rocks formed a great archaeoacoustic location that Native People would have chosen for its sound quality. The shapes, he believed showed a snake. Snakes are considered the guardians of portals to the paranormal.
Travis points out that the constellation Draco is a serpent/snake.
Jim brought by the Hicks Family. Junior Hicks for many decades chased around the Uintah basin in his spare time as a science teacher, to document oddities and cattle mutilations. The family gave Travis a meticulous notebook of scientific documentation of these things. What a fantastic researcher Junior was! Bravo, Mr. Hicks!
Junior's daughter said she had been on the ranch with him and he showed a compass going wonky in one area of the ranch. She also mentioned a cattle mutilation Junior and she looked over that appeared to have its eyes and tail end removed surgically.
Then, Junior's granddaughter handed over a photo of unknown origin. This was a photo of some rods found in the field by the Bigelow team. They apparently couldn't be cut and were unusual. Bigelow took them with him and never returned them, scoffing that they were nothing.
Travis mentioned Meta Materials - ones that create energy in a different way than materials we utilize.
A meeting with the veterinarean revealed the results of testing on the dead cow - and the tests were negative. This left the team quite puzzled.
And next episode, it appears there is lots of action on the ranch!

Dennis and I were pleased by this episode. There were wasn't a lot of para-evidence to witness, but there were some experts brought in which was necessary for outside viewpoints. More and more it appears that portals and what lies underground are going to be a big focus of this season. We wholeheartedly agree!
