Review: "The Secret of Skinwalker Ranch" S6 E12 "Hard Boiled"

 


Tonight's episode "Hard Boiled" was described as -  

As the team continues to study the ceramic within the mesa, they begin to understand that something top secret might be buried in the mesa.

They began looking at imagery of the land of the drill site from the archives. The 1964 nickel has them fascinated, as it came out of the spoils. They want to see if there had been archaeological dig or something, so they reviewed imagery over past 60 years (1961, 63, and then no more until 1969). The images looked unchanged, but 61 and 63 images compared to 69 showed possible doctoring. It appeared there was a region of that are that was smoothed out by alteration. It would appear there was a coverup. 

Prior to sending man into space in the 60s, they tested materials with uncrewed vehicles. This could possibly be a vehicle that crashed. 

Back at the drill site, they put cameras inside the drill bit to see what they are drilling into. They retrieved the camera from the drill bit to see what is in the mesa. The camera light didn't seem to help. The video was dark, but  there occasional tiny bits of light. Potential gamma rays, charged particles being caught by the focal plane. 



I know from reading logarithms for oil drilling, gamma rays are one thing caught on the imaging (along with water and rock looking for natural gas and petroleum) and and found in these sites. The Skinwalker Ranch, itself, is beside hundreds of active drill sites. You can see these on Google Earth. Gamma Rays are looked for in sandstone in search of potential natural gas and petroleum reservoirs. Long ago, they should have used local oil drillers to get some logs for the mesa.

The team prepped to put in PVC casing inside borehole 1. They had to re-ream the hole and it hit a hard spot, but the damage to the drill bit was exceptional. This was inserting a 4-inch pipe into a 7-inch hole. Once fully inserted, instruments can be sent down the PVC casing. They were unable to rotate or pull the PVC - the process was frustrated. Whatever damaged the bit, was holding off further penetration. In a last ditch effort, the drilling team hooked a chain to the semi and the drill to see if they could back it out. 

The pipe finally got pulled into place on borehole 1. Phew! 

The next day, they set up a table outside and Jan Francke set up to do a scan.  He prepared to run a GPR radar device through the casing from the top of the mesa. Travis went down the mesa side with a device to measure for any strange spikes and signals as they lowered. That drop went great. Thanks Jan! 

Erik wanted magnotometery, BPR, radiation measures to see what was there and if there was a coverup. More instruments were lowered. Travis got a temporary 1.6 GHz signal during. 

The team met late that night at the command center and talked about results. Sam went over his find, magnetic data spikes that happened. These were disturbances in earth's magnetic field. Anything with iron, magnetism, could cause this. Yes, a large metal object could be responsible for it. The magnetometry scans showed 240-280 feet depth, there was some kind of metal/magnetic material. They found metal in the spoils from this area.

Jan found at about 270 feet, something very prominent, about 12 feet from the holea nd 6 feet thick. There were other bits and pieces further down. This is around 270-280 feet down. They believe these are bits that had showed up on other scans of something that broke apart. Jan agrees this is something not natural. 

Two day after at Utah Valley University, Erik, Jim and Travis went to see studies on the ceramic material. They cleaned the material sample first and see what organics might be in there. What remains, they will crush with mortal and pestle and use acid on it and use atomic emissions spectrometer to see what it's made of. 

When cleaning the ceramic in the second preparation, it floated. Ceramics do not usually float and something that stops a drill is not going to float.

They cleaned the sample, then dried it out so they could use the mortal and pestle to crush it and find its elements. 

Surprisingly, it crused pretty easy. There was a small part of it that took a bit more work to crush. The doctor didn't have to use 15,000 psi of pressure like the drill. 

They looked at the crushed contents to see what comes out on the spectrometer. Titanium, calcium, iron, aluminum, vanadium (also found this on the surface of metal found in mesa years ago). Vanadium is urable and used in military vehicles and spacecraft.

This seems to once again support my idea that WE made what crashed into the mesa. What makes no sense is the fact it seemed to burn plant matter that isn't there in modern day. Was it a vehicle of ours that was a prototype to fly through the mesa and later we managed to be able to fly through as is witnessed today? Then, if the government didn't interrupt the sale of the ranch to Fugal, perhaps it was because this discovery has to be made in order to realize the technology that would some day - crash into the mesa, and ultimately fly through it. 

The Misner effect - superconductor qualities. The ceramic was placed against a magnet and at first attracted, then repelled. To be superconductive, it takes usually super cold temperatures to store and hold energy and potential defy gravity. They tested the ceramics with liquid nitrogen to see if they would levitate when cooled. The liquid nitrogen bubbled as the ceramic was still too warm, and it seemed to never cool down to the temperature of liquid nitrogen. The drill bit had shown evidence of something super hot, perhaps absorbing the heat like a space shuttle tile.

These guys are right there - on the edge of some amazing correlations. Keep it comin' gang!
