Review: "The Secret of Skinwalker Ranch" S6 E3 "Smoke It Out"

It's always fun and intriguing at Skinwalker Ranch. S6 E3 "Smoke It Out" - 

They began the episode drilling up in the mesa's previous hole to prep to ream it out to the goal width to deploy instruments to take measurements. They went 150 feet easily into the mesa. They watched the beacon to see what it would do deep inside.  As they drilled the 1.2 GHz (new peak signal this year) showed up. It appears to be a cloned signal from a signal they had put out previously. They also picked up the 1.6 GHz signal. They managed to re-drill one hole. They were able to put the reamer on to widen the hole now that they knew it had no blockages.  As they began reaming, they got a beacon signal as if it were from the drilling unit, but it wasn't it. It seemed like the mesa was mimicking. The reaming process has hit an obstacle in speed. They may need to ream a smaller hole than they had hoped.

Next, the team set up huge bonfires of wood to make rising smoke and then have instruments to capture anything that shows in the smoke - within the bubble.

David Mason observing on FLIR, pockets of cold forming around fires. It makes no sense. I think it's an updraft that causes hot air to ascend and suck in cooler nighttime air to the area. 

Travis shot a rocket up through the smoke. The rocket sat above the area with parachute deployed. My guess is, once again, the hot air rising from the fires caused them to sit in the air - updraft.  Moments like this are making me lose confidence in Travis's evaluations - very unscientific. Travis then noted a 1.6 GHz signal. Erik sees a peak at 1.60001 GHz. 

As they doused the fires to create tremendous smoke, Travis sent another rocket up. There was a bright bluish white orb of light went by the rocket as it ascended. 

The team reviewed the data after the experiment. A UAP was seen moving in the sky above the mesa during the 1.2 GHZ signal. I'm not terribly impressed as it moved very slowly, very high, and it could be just incidental - these things are there all the time and they just happened to havc cameras on then. 

I'd love to see the show get a "not skinwalker" location and do same experiments. We haven't had a reason to run these kinds of experiments anywhere else, so maybe these are phenomena that's everywhere and part of our world, we just didn't realize it before. 

Travis is disappointing as he says, "that's crazy," and "what is that?" and yet he offers no suppositions as a scientist in many arenas. 

The cloud against the mesa showed a strangely dense area where the object in the mesa resides. Where the blue white orb was seen with the naked eye as it passed by the rocket, the reviewed evidence shows a ball of light in the sky. The rocket is shown in LIDAR and something shooting up from the mesa upward on the edge of the bubble. 

The Khafire Pyramid in Egypt was scanned with SAR technology. It showed massive underground elements never known about before. (Below). Why isn't Skinwalker considering such a scan?

 

In summary, I didn't get any shock and awe in this episode and I don't think we learned a damn new thing, but I also know production companies can edit to stupidity and focus on things only the "dumb public" can understand, so we might be missing really key important things that never make it to the History Channel weekly show. I'd love to see an episode of things that ended up on the edit room floor. 

I'd say, overall out of 5 UAPs possible, this episode was a 2 UAP episode.

After the show, History Channel aired another "Behind the Gates. I have to say, I don't really watch this. They basically just regurgitate all that happened in the episode. It's really not worth my time, but I can go make a sandwich. 

and then, an episode of "Beyond Skinwalker Ranch" 

Andy and Paul make Beyond Skinwalker Ranch pretty exciting. This is definitely worth staying up late, if you must. 

"Swamp Things" S3 E3. Chris Bledsoe, who has had experiences with aliens, can call on UAPs/orbs. His brain changes signals and seems to engage with these things. The team plans to take him to a lonely place in the Everglades of Florida to see if he can, in fact, control contact with UAPs phenomena. They plan to take him to Monroe Institute in Virginia to test his skills.

Out in the middle of wilderness with no man-made lights anywhere, Chris sensed where one was and, sure enough, it showed. 

I had a long contact with red orange orbs in the desert years ago and every time I wanted them to show, they came back and danced around and when I asked them to leave (in my mind), they disappeared. I tested it far apart, rapid fire, no synchronization of the requests, and they followed my guide. It was like a strange entanglement. 

Years later, I stood in my yard, called on a UFO light and saw a light in the sky above me moving slowly. I asked it to make a right turn and go fast. It literally stopped, went on a 90-degree path from where it had been traveling and shot off into nowhere. Being a life-long contactee, perhaps I have a way to create a frequency or vibration that is familiar.

Chris then silently requested a bigger light. A light showed up weaving between the trees. They couoln't see it with naked eyes or FLIR, but saw them with infrared. Six or eight orbs danced through the woods. Red, white, and bluish orbs.

The team then went to 10,000 islands area to test how Chris does on the water like he originally had his sighting on Cape Fear in NC.

I have to wonder if Paul and Andy have such success because they are a small team, not in a fixed location with tons of equipment like Skinwalker Ranch. They are new to the area. 

Chris found a light in the trees on the edge of the water. It does not show in FLIR or with the naked eye, but shows up on infrared A light showed above the tree that had a light in it also. The light from the trees left upward so that both orbs could be seen together. The top light reflected in the water. Once again, these did not show up on FLIR.

Next, the team took Chris to Monroe Institute in Virginia to study his brain's electrical. They set him up with an EEG machine and do a baseline of his brain activity and then compare to what it does when he is calling on the orbs. They will compare him with Paul from the team as a control comparison as an average joe. Both men were measured at baseline doing nothing but resting and then outdoors to see how they respond to orbs.

Chris revealed alpha brain waves upon sensing the orbs. This is the state of mind that you are in during meditation and also that floaty feeling before you fall asleep. 

Paul, however, is he is processing and thinking and showing no changes in brain waves.

The last part of the experiment is a modified Faraday cage room that is lined by copper so energy outside of the room cannot penetrate. Chris's EEG was studied as he rests. Cameras outside will see if there are orbs when he feels there are orbs. Could he sense the orbs while shielded from energy that the orb could be putting off? 

Chris raised a hand when he felt an orb and, sure enough, an orb was overhead. Whenever Chris points to the sky inside the shielded room, his brain shows alpha state. Three times, Chris raised his hand. All three times he sensed something, an orb was seen in the sky. 

It would appear that Chris has an entanglement with this phenomena to the point that shielding and distance mean nothing. 

I truly wish that Skinwalker Ranch would work more with the human element. They are missing a HUGE part of it. 

Thanks Andy and Paul!
