Review: "The Secret of Skinwalker Ranch" S6 E7 "Lights Out"

 

Tonight's episode is described as - after finding unusual things in the mesa, the team does a laser experiment and has a shocking encounter.

At about 170 feet in, the drillers said they broke through a bunch of hard layers and are finally having an easier time. It's looking more and more like the thing(s) in the mesa are metallic.

They had Chris Roberts, the archaeologist, look at the spoils from that 170-foot mark. A bunch of the green jelly stuff came out. Prior, they found it and had it evaluated to find it seemed like burned plant material, possibly from a fire deep inside the mesa. 

They brought in the laser team again to study the invisible bubble over the ranch. The bubble is 2000 feet in diameter. They had prior run a laser straight up and it stopped at 2000 feet, a most unusual thing. 

This time, the team brought brighter laser cannons. They utilized many colors of laser beams so they can see if any certain color react differently. They put them in groups along the border of the boundary and outside, as well as inside the bubble to compare how they all react. 

Of course, Travis shot up rockets. A thermal camera was also studying, as well as high speed cameras, IR, and spectrum analyzer. 

The team was setting up the lasers when a bright yellow light showed up in the sky. It was not any air traffic on the scanner. It just vanished. 

Some of the team with Travis went to the Homestead to shoot rockets just outside the bubble barrier. Jim launched the drone to see what might be happening. They shot up the laser cannons. The drone at the border of the bubble, had an error - loss of connectivity and lights. They also got that strange 1.2 GHz signal, as well as 1.6 GHz. The drone couldn't seem to penetrate the barrier of the bubble, at the same time a rocket was launched.

Suddenly, the multicolor beams were shutting off certain colors. Travis decided to shoot a rocket inside the bubble. Gamma rays began to show on the meters and they had to get everyone out of the area FAST. Gamma ray spikes don't just happen. As they drove through the bubble, laser cannons turned off, the gamma ray spikes seem to chase them. A strange yellow light showed up in the sky, looked like it was headed to the command center. 

Electromagnetic interference seems to be the issue, as they compared geiger counters and when Travis touched them, the levels went up. It seems instruments are all an issue inside the bubble and may not be working properly from strange interference. The team decided to go back toward the drill site where it was going haywire and retest for safety. 

The levels were normal there after re-testing. Lasers were working again. Travis got another rocket ready to shoot off on the western edge. The rocket went up great, but one of the lasers turned off. Then, another laser. They looked at the laser beams and found a UAP or something fly through the beams. 

On FLIR imaging, the drone appeared to fly through some kind of energy hole on the boundary of the bubble. They decide to scan with rastering lasers through the bubble to see what happens. Everything went quiet. 

I have to say, I'd rather see focus on the mesa. This rocket/laser examination is not working. Here's what I would compare it to - you keep studying the rain, missing that it's the result of the cloud action. 

The team got together in the command center to review the findings. Jim shared the drone FLIR imaging that showed errors and strange movement. The drone was shaking, trying to enter the bubble. Data corruption occurred right at the bubble border. 

One again, they were getting GPS data below the ground again in the homestead area. They found a gap in the green laser beam for some reason. There were blue and red lasers on either side of it inches away. On a prior laser experiment, the green laser was broken. They saw a flash of light in the sky, too. 

I certainly have the highest respect for what this team is attempting to do on the ranch. I am very laser/drone/rocket weary. I miss exploration of cryptids, Native Culture, and why aren't they doing consciousness experiments? It has gone high tech but lost some of the raw field finds. 

Behind the Gates came on next, reviewing tonight's episode. They talked more about the green jelly stuff and the experiments performed tonight. I usually use this show for a potty and snack break.

Tonight's episode of "Beyond Skinwalker Ranch" is entitled, "Bad Energy," and has Andy and Paul revisiting Mt. Shasta and the odd mojo there.

Andy and Paul met with Travis, Erik and Brandon to decide what to study at Mt. Shasta. They want to find out if there is something odd energetically happening there. 

They get lots of missing people at Mt. Shasta, reports of cryptids, UFOs, strange happenings,orbs, feelings of healing, disoriented folks, people feeling mesmerized to areas, and walking in a fugue state. 

A woman living there reported a white orb entering her room and being paralyzed. They have infrared cameras around the house and she shared strange pollen or dust-like streams coming at the camera. She also had a photo of something that looks like a weird alien in the tree. 

They set up at night to study signals and thermal and infrared cameras. Nu-Salt Laser team was there too. They will shine lasers at Mt. Shasta from the woman's property. As they set up, the laser equipment wasn't working right in an odd way. 

The radio frequency picked up at at 1.4 to 1.6 GHz. The energy changes on the spectrum analyzer at 1.6 GHz. It was making some weird sounds. They studied 1.7 GHz and found odd anomalies, strange sounds. As the sounds are very different, perhaps different sources for them. 

The laser team fired up the lasers and had to bypass the system and could only shoot them right in front of the team, not at the mountain. The projector stopped at the same time the signal changed. 

They decide, if the mountain is supercharged with energy, then rock samples from the mountain, barraged with electrical might show if they store or conduct energy. Andy and Paul decide to use Tesla coils for high voltage.

They gathered a variety of rocks from the area. They ran the Tesla coil and put electrodes in both sides of the rock. They are seeing if the current goes through the rock to show it's conducting energy. If it went around the rock, it was not conductive. They used a high-speed camera and instruments to see if anything happens they can't discern. 

The first rock (Alabama limestone) arc'd and rejected the electrical - it was not conductive. Blue opal was collected on Mt. Shasta and known as a poor conductor. Strangely, the electrical went through it, it showed it was conductive! The next rock from one of the caves had the current going right through it and heated up so much it smoked. 

I have to wonder if the active volcano keeps the rocks conductive. What could these energies do to humans? 

Paul and Andy came back to the command center to meet with Brandon, Erik, and Travis and review what they found. Travis showed on the spectrum analyzer, they are seeing a signal being sent, a communication. It was technology and not something of nature. Travis believed that the lasers didn't work because they were intending to shoot them at the mountain. 

The geophysics of Mt. Shasta is apparently interacting with all other potential conductive energies around it. It's like a charging station.

As always, this episode was awesome. I appreciate their interviews with witnesses and their inclusion of local lore and earth sciences.
