-
The Rocky
- Gentlemen, - Welcome back to the ranch.
I'm looking forward to finding out what we've got lined up
for the next part of our investigation.
- Well, we're happy to be back
and we think we've got a really interesting story this time.
This is a ranch where not only we have a a really
interesting physical location,
but we've got a great human story.
- Yeah. We've got a pretty good lead here.
It came out of the book, the Hunt for the Skin Walker.
- You're talking about Kelleher and and George Knapps book.
Right? Right. So, uh, what part of it
is this from and what, what is
- The story?
There's a whole section in
that book called Other Hotspots, right?
Mm-hmm - . Inside that book,
they reference a ranch in Colorado,
- And the story in the book references a family
and a series of strange events over the years,
but keeps the names involved completely hidden.
There's pseudonyms, no name of the location
that is kept concealed.
They called it Rocky Mountain Ranch.
We reached out to Muon, Colorado Muon,
and the head of Colorado Muon is a woman named Katie Page.
So this is a real puzzle to put together
and Katie really is the key.
Keystone. Turns out Katie Page is part of
that family living on the ranch
and has firsthand knowledge of this whole story.
- So she is an experiencer.
- Correct. Katie herself was an experiencer at age nine
on the ranch, referenced in the book,
and when we got in contact with her,
she actually turned us on to a very little known report
that was filled out at the time
by a group called the Aerial Phenomenon Research
Organization, the actual precursor to Muon.
- Welcome in everyone.
Um, I am just so,
so incredibly glad you are joining us today.
- Yeah. It's great to have you here
- Because right now, uh, you and I
and our resident experts sitting right across from me,
we are about to embark on a deep dive
that is gonna take literally everything you thought you knew
about the paranormal, well,
everything you thought you knew about modern science
and violently smash them together
- Violently smash is
definitely the right phrase for this one. Right.
- Um, we are taking a massive stack
of incredibly intriguing sources today.
We've got television production notes,
deep cut Reddit community discussions, uh,
transcripts from some really niche paranormal podcasts,
and even highly detailed,
almost declassified style intelligence
community biographies. It's a
- Huge stack of data.
- It is. And our mission today,
we are investigating a terrifyingly specific
geographic anomaly.
- And to be clear right off the bat, um,
we are looking at the investigations conducted
by the team from the television series Beyond Skin Walker
Ranch, but we aren't looking at the whole show.
- No. We are zeroing in
- Exactly.
We are going to zero in on one highly specific,
highly dangerous area in South Central Colorado,
a place known locally as the Miller Ranch Road Bridge.
- The Miller Ranch Road Bridge. Yeah.
- This isn't just, you know, a broad overview
of spooky phenomena.
We are surgically extracting the data from one
of the most concentrated areas
of high strangeness on the entire continent.
- Okay. So let's unpack this
because, uh, this is not your
typical late night ghost story.
We aren't sitting around a campfire talking about some
spooky unexplained lights dancing in the night sky,
or, I don't know, a, a cold draft in an old Victorian house.
- No, not at all. The stakes here are very
real and very grounded.
This deep dive isn't about chasing shadows in the dark.
We are looking at hard,
verifiable scientific findings crashing headfirst into
grim physical realities.
- Physical realities. - Yes.
We are talking about a documented geographical history
of 15 associated human deaths.
15, and we're talking about 16 brutal cattle mutilations in
that exact same area.
And on top of all that, we are looking at claims
of literal dimensional portals existing right here on earth,
anchored to physical infrastructure,
- Which is just, I mean, it's heavy, very heavy.
I know they brought in a very specific team
for this investigation, and it's a huge departure from the
norm because we are looking for a shortcut to understanding
how people who are trained in the hard sciences
or trained in national security are trying to measure
the truly unmeasurable.
Right. So let's look at the core team leading the charge.
We're not looking at guys running
around in the dark screaming at every creaking floorboard
and pointing a shaky camera at a dusty mirror.
Definitely not. We are looking at Andrew
Gusta and Paul Bibe.
Walk us through this because Ste Monte's background isn't
exactly standard for this field.
Why does his specific skillset matter here?
- It completely shifts the paradigm of
how we approach this kind of research.
I mean, this brings a pedigree to the table
that we almost never see in the paranormal field.
Andrew Bustamante is a graduate
of the United States Air Force Academy,
but more importantly, he worked in nuclear ICBM operations.
Wow. Yeah. We are talking about intercontinental
ballistic missiles. Yep.
- Which means his baseline for operational security
and just dealing with high stress data is off the charts.
Mm-hmm. You do not get much more structured high stakes
and scientifically rigorous than handling the launch
protocols for nuclear weapons. Exactly.
- The point he's indoctrinated into a world
where a single anomalous blip on a radar screen
or a sleigh deviation in a telemetry reading has
to be analyzed instantly
because the fate of millions
of people could literally depend on it.
Right. From there,
he was recruited into the CIA's
national clandestine service.
He spent seven years specifically
as a covert operations officer specializing in human
and technical operations.
- I was reading through the excerpts from his biographical
background in our stack of sources, and it's fascinating.
He literally set up a compartmented cell
targeting a rival intelligence network.
- He - Did. He
and his wife, who was also a CIA officer, worked
as a tandem couple.
They were deliberately placed
to draw a mole out into the open.
He's got a whole book about it coming out called Shadow
Cell, and he operates Everyday spy,
which is a commercial training platform. Yeah.
- So think about what that
- Means, right?
This is a guy whose entire professional life,
his literal survival, has been built on detecting deception,
analyzing raw, chaotic data,
and operating in environments
where a single miscalculation means total disaster.
- And that's exactly the lens he brings to Miller Ranch.
When bi Deante looks at an anomaly,
he isn't asking, is this a ghost?
He's asking, is this a counterintelligence operation?
Is this spoofed data?
Is this a natural environmental hazard
or is it a directed energy signature?
- He's treating the paranormal like an
intelligence target. He
- Treats the unknown like a hostile intelligence target
until proven otherwise
and paired with him, you have Paul B ban.
- Bean brings a completely different
but equally rigorous kind of scrutiny
- He does.
Beon is an award-winning broadcast journalist
and investigative reporter.
He was actually part of the team that won the Peabody
and Columbia DuPont Awards for their coverage of nine 11,
- Which is massive. It's
- Huge.
This is a man who has tracked down heavily armed pirates
off the coast of Somalia.
He's investigated the sheer desperation driving violent
political protests in Venezuela.
He even went deep undercover
to expose human trafficking rings in South Africa,
which won him an
- Emmy.
So you have one guy who hunted moles for the CIA
and another who hunted pirates and human traffickers.
These two men have seen the absolute darkest, most complex
and most dangerous parts of the human experience. Yeah.
- They aren't gonna get spooked easily.
- Exactly. They aren't looking
to get scared by a bump in the night.
They're looking for hard Jada.
They want the evidentiary trail.
- What's fascinating here is that their methodology is
so critical to understand.
They aren't out there with just a flashlight
and a cheap digital audio recorder
hoping to catch a static voice.
They are deploying military grade cutting edge technology.
- We're talking serious hardware.
- Serious hardware.
We are talking about drone magnetometers
that map massive magnetic fields from the sky,
creating three dimensional topographical
maps of invisible forces.
They use highly calibrated thermal cameras,
spectrum analyzers that read the entire invisible radio
frequency environment across gigahertz ranges.
They use Geiger counters
and even incredibly expensive gamma cameras.
- I wanna pause on that for a second,
because a gamma camera isn't something you just pick up at a
hardware store for you listening,
a gamma camera actually allows the user
to literally visualize the source
of radiation in real time. Right
- On a screen.
- Yeah. It maps the invisible radioactive decay
onto a visual screen.
It's the kind of tech used in nuclear medicine
in advanced physics labs.
They are bringing the full weight of modern physics
to bear on these anomalies,
- And it changes the conversation completely.
When a guy with a tape recorder says he feels a cold spot,
well, it's an anecdote,
but when a CIA operative points a gamma camera at a bridge
and records a localized spike in ionizing radiation,
while a drone magnetometer records a simultaneous deviation
in the earth's magnetic field,
- That is a measurable physical event. That is data.
- Exactly. That is data. You can't just ignore.
- What's really cool is seeing how the public is reacting
to this specific duo and their methods.
If you dig into the Reddit community discussion specifically
looking at the Sirkin Walker Ranch subreddit we have in our
sources, you can see
that viewers actually find this style incredibly refreshing.
- I think the audience has really matured.
- They absolutely have the audience for this topic.
They don't want the shaky cam theatrics anymore.
One user noted that it's just better produced, pointing out
that they take great care
and actually explaining the complex experiments they're
doing and crucially why they're doing them.
- Because it respects the intelligence of the viewer.
- Right. Another user pointed out that they appreciate
how the team doesn't immediately jump on the sci-fi
sensation bandwagon.
They are making crazy conclusions without evidence.
They're treating these locations like crime scenes.
You establish a perimeter, you take baseline readings,
you introduce a stimulus and you record the reaction.
- But to understand what Andy
and Paul eventually find at Miller Ranch, we actually have
to trace their steps back a bit.
There is a specific tell. They are tracking.
There is a fingerprint, a calling card
that this phenomenon leaves behind
and it's tracking them across the country.
And this is where the science gets genuinely baffling.
- You're talking about the 1.6 gigahertz frequency.
- Yes. Across various seemingly unconnected paranormal
hotspots like Bradshaw Ranch in Sedona, Arizona,
and the original Skin Walker Ranch in Utah.
These investigators keep hitting a very specific,
highly localized data point.
A 1.6 gigahertz frequency transmission.
- Let me play devil's advocate here for a minute.
'cause if you're driving down the road listening to this,
a frequency is just a number.
It's a radio wave. We are surrounded
by radio waves all day long, cell phones,
wifi, radio stations.
Why is a 1.6 gigahertz frequency
so inherently baffling to these guys?
Couldn't it just be a glitch
or some passing airplanes transponder?
- It's a totally fair question,
but you have to consider the physics of the LB band,
which is where a 1.6 gigahertz lives.
The LB band is heavily regulated.
It's normally used for things like GPS,
highly secure satellite communications
and specific aeronautical navigation.
- So it's not a crowded space for civilian chatter.
- Not at all. It requires significant directed power
to generate a strong signal in this band,
and it interacts with the ionosphere in very specific ways.
Spoofing or accidentally generating a massive spike at
exactly 1.6 gigahertz in the middle
of a remote rural desert canyon without a massive antenna
array or a satellite uplink is incredibly difficult.
- So it's not like someone's rogue Bluetooth speaker is
accidentally setting this off while they're hiking? No,
- Absolutely not.
And the context of when it appears is
what elevates this from an anomaly to a major mystery.
This specific frequency seemingly appears out of nowhere
transmitting aggressively.
Right. During moments of high strangeness.
- It's timed with the events exactly
- Spikes.
When unidentified aerial phenomena appear, it spikes right
before highly calibrated equipment violently malfunctions,
or when physical localized anomalies occur in the
environment, it acts almost like an invisible communication
channel, or perhaps more terrifyingly an energy byproduct.
The exhaust fumes of the phenomenon itself,
- The exhaust fumes of an anomaly.
I really love that phrasing. And if we trace those exhaust
fumes, they lead us directly into Colorado.
Now, Colorado has a massive reputation in UFO
and paranormal circles.
It's known as a close encounter capital. Oh yeah.
- Huge history there. - But
to understand the Miller Ranch Bridge down south,
we first have to look at how they tracked this 1.6 signal in
the northern part of the state.
If you dig into the historical archives for this area,
you inevitably stumble across the Rocky Mountain Ranch case.
- This is a crucial piece of the puzzle.
Back in the late 1970s, Rocky Mountain Ranch,
which is located near Boulder, was investigated
by a group called AP RO.
- That's the Aerial Phenomena Research Organization.
- Yes. And for those who might not know, A PRO was one
of the earliest and most scientifically rigorous civilian
UFO investigative groups, essentially the precursor
to M-U-F-O-N, the mutual UFO network.
They compiled a highly detailed report on the bizarre
happenings at this ranch,
but it was mostly lost to history, just buried
and dusty filing cabinets
until the investigative team recently connected
with a woman named Katie Page.
- This story is legitimately chilling.
Katie Page is now the head of Colorado, M-U-F-O-N.
But back in the mid 1970s, she was just a kid.
She was about nine to 12 years old, spending a lot
of time at this specific ranch,
and she experienced sheer terror there.
- The thing she described. - Yeah,
she described a heavy oppressive feeling
of just being uneasy all the time,
of constantly being watched by something unseen.
But there was one specific night
that she calls the absolute scariest night at the ranch.
- The historical details she provides are incredibly
specific, which is exactly what you look
for in a credible witness account.
The layout of the house, the exact timeline of events,
the adults were in the front room playing board games.
Late at night, Katie, her sister,
and three boys were in a back bedroom
and suddenly they heard a hum, a
- Hum, - A low frequency hum.
She noted that over the months they spent there,
any time this specific hum sounded,
everyone in the house knew
something physical was about to happen.
It was a precursor.
And when the humming started this time,
all the lights in the house instantly went out,
a total blackout.
- And then the environment aggressively shifts.
She says, A light brighter than the sun came
pouring through the bedroom window.
Not a flashlight, not a car headlight, a blinding,
localized illumination.
And then from every single orifice of the house,
like it was coming out of the very drywall, the vents,
the floorboards and electronic sounding voice emanated.
The stereo equipment was completely turned
off due to the blackout.
But the voice pushed through the speakers anyway.
- And the message it delivered is highly unusual
for these types of encounters.
It wasn't gibberish.
It was a coherent, authoritative statement.
The voice literally said, we have allowed you to remain.
We've interfered with your lives very little.
Your friends will be instructed
to remain silent concerning us.
- We have allowed you to remain.
Imagine the psychological impact of
that on a nine-year-old child sitting in the dark,
a disembodied electronic voice, taking credit
for the anomalies, confirming it has complete control over
their environment and issuing a thinly
veiled threat to keep quiet.
- It's terrifying. And decades later, Katie,
who had never returned to that property
because of the trauma, agreed to go back
with Andy Bustamonte, Paul Baban and the investigative team.
And when they arrived standing
by an old cistern on the property, they heard it again,
a loud low frequency hum.
Wow. The current owners of the ranch
who had lived there peacefully
for 30 years, had never heard it before.
The phenomenon was seemingly reacting to Katie's return
or the presence of the investigative team.
- So we've got a former CIA clandestine operative,
a hardened investigative journalist,
and a woman confronting her childhood trauma,
standing in a field, listening to a phantom hum.
Mm. They don't just run away.
They don't just sit around waiting to be scared.
They design an active experience, right?
- They go on the offensive. - They bring in a hammer radio
specialist, an engineer named Jarris Dover Spike.
The goal is audacious. Hmm.
They wanna see if this unseen entity will communicate back.
It prompted on that specific 1.6 gigahertz frequency.
They keep finding, get these other hotspot, but
- They run into a massive logistical and legal wall.
As Jarris explains in the production notes,
you cannot just randomly broadcast a human voice at 1.6
gigahertz into the atmosphere.
The FCC highly regulates that band.
- The federal government
does not mess around with that stuff.
- No, they don't. If you start blasting unauthorized signals
on a frequency reserve for satellites
and aeronautics, federal authorities will pinpoint your
location and shut you down incredibly fast.
So they have to get creative.
YRS takes advantage of a fundamental principle in wave
physics called harmonics.
- This part can get a little dent in the transcript.
So let's break it down for everyone listening.
How exactly is he legally hitting a restricted
frequency? Think
- Of it like plucking the thickest string on a guitar.
When you pluck that low E string,
you hear the main deep note
that is your fundamental frequency.
But physics dictates
that the string doesn't just vibrate as a whole.
It vibrates in halves, thirds
and quarters simultaneously. Okay, I
- Follow you. These
- Create higher quieter notes
that are mathematically related
to the main note we call those overtones or harmonics.
Gyrus is legally plucking a lower permitted radio frequency
string, mathematically calculating it so
that a naturally occurring harmonic will hit the exact 1.6
gigahertz frequency they wanna target in the atmosphere
- That is incredibly clever.
They're legally projecting a shadow onto
a restricted frequency.
So they set up the experiment
and they recreate the physical conditions
of the 1970s incident.
They place old analog AM radios
inside the house tuned strictly to static empty channels.
This mimics the conditions
of the blackout when the voice came
through the unpowered stereo
and they hook up a highly sensitive microphone
to a spectrum analyzer to graphically display any audio
or frequency anomalies that might occur in the room. They
- Meticulously set the trap.
Paul bein is out back scanning the skies
with thermal and night vision.
Andy Busante Gyrus
and Katie are inside monitoring the
cascading data on the screens.
They broadcast a standard legal ham radio call into the
atmosphere, cq CQ cq.
This is a general call
to any listening station basically
saying, is anyone out there?
- Nothing? Total silence, crickets.
You can imagine the tension in the
room just completely dropping.
But then they have Katie speak the original experiencer,
the one the ended entity seemingly addressed decades ago.
She gets on the microphone broadcasting
through the harmonic frequency
and says, do you remember me, my sister,
and the three boys were back and we'd like to talk to you.
- And the response was instantaneous and violent.
The highly sensitive microphone hooked
to the static tuned AM radios inside the house
registered a massive immediate spike in ambient energy.
The spectrum analyzer,
which maps the radio frequencies in the room started
bouncing wildly.
The baseline data was completely shattered.
- And this is where the human element is so striking.
You have Andy Busante, a man who is literally trained
by the CIA to remain completely stoic
and analytical, under extreme life-threatening pressure.
And even he breaks his composure.
He's quoted in the source material saying, holy smokes,
we just had a massive reaction from the house.
Tons of energy coming from the house.
It's bouncing all over the place. The
- House actively reacted to her voice.
Let's truly consider the implications of that data.
We have a physical measurable reaction in the radio
frequency spectrum to a human asking a
localized question into the ether.
- But wait, couldn't
that massive spike just be a coincidence?
I have to ask, on behalf of everyone listening,
could Katie speaking have just coincided
with a passing plane overhead
or a glitch in the spectrum analyzer,
or someone firing up a piece
of heavy machinery down the road?
Yeah. How did they isolate it
to prove it was reacting to her?
- That's the beauty of using an isolated,
static tuned analog system paired with a spectrum analyzer.
The analyzer doesn't just show volume.
It shows the shape and origin of the frequency.
The energy didn't come from the sky
above them or the road outside.
- Oh, it was inside. - The telemetry showed the energy
spike originating from within the localized environment
of the house itself, reacting precisely at the millisecond.
She finished her sentence. It was a direct localized
stimulus response mechanism,
- Which is absolutely wild.
So we've got a guy trained,
a topple foreign network sitting in the dark
watching a spectrum analyzer prove
that an invisible entity is using ham radio harmonics
to respond to a childhood trauma.
Mm-hmm . It is objectively surreal.
- If we connect this to the bigger picture.
It is surreal, but it's also profoundly important science.
We have an invisible anomaly in northern Colorado
that can seemingly recognize a specific human voice from
decades ago and physically manipulate the ambient radio
frequency environment to show it's listening.
It triggers an immediate measurable response. Right.
But, and this is the crucial pivot.
The phenomenon at Rocky Mountain Ranch,
while psychologically terrifying to a child,
didn't leave a trail of bodies,
it turned the lights off and made a threat.
So as investigators track this 1.6 gigahertz signal
southward across the state's magnetic grids
and fault lines, the question becomes
what happens when this exact same phenomenon,
this same underlying physics, turns deadly?
- Here's where it gets really interesting
and significantly darker.
We follow the data, we follow the frequency,
and we move from northern Colorado down
to the southern central area
of the state right near the border.
We are heading into an arrow dove purgatory bridge
and the Miller Triangle by the investigative team,
specifically Miller Ranch Road.
- And this is where the science has to confront a grim,
undeniable physical reality.
The statistics extracted from our sources
regarding this specific stretch of rural highway
and the bridge area are staggering.
This highly localized location is linked to 15 human deaths.
15 people have lost their lives in this specific tight
geographic triangle.
- And alongside that human tragedy,
there are 16 documented cases of cattle mutilations.
Now, the audience listening
to this deep dive likely knows the
hallmarks of these mutilations.
We aren't talking about coyote scavengers.
We are talking about the cord out organs, the total lack
of blood in a thousand pound animal, the surgical precision.
But what happens at Miller Ranch takes it a step
further into the bizarre
- Precisely to understand the severity
of the Miller Ranch mutilations.
Our sources point us to the historical work
of a man named Gabe Valdez.
Valdez was a highly respected New Mexico state police
officer who spent over 30 years investigating these exact
types of disturbing rural mutilations
and their bizarre crossovers
with UFO sightings in the border region
of Colorado and New Mexico.
- He wasn't a paranormal podcaster.
He was a badge wearing meticulous law
enforcement officer. Exactly.
- Valdez approached these scenes like homicides,
and what he found at these specific types
of sites defied any conventional earthly explanation.
We're talking about anomalous radiation tracks physically
leading away from the carcasses into the brush.
He documented strange mechanical client marks on the legs
of the animals suggesting they had been hoisted or dropped.
He gathered thousands of pages
of evidence showing bizarre aerial lights directly
associated with the exact times of the deaths.
- So you have a bridge and a stretch of road
that is soaked up 15 human lives
and fields that have seen 16 anomalous surgical mutilations
with radiation tracks For a long time.
It was incredibly easy for the rest
of the world to just write this off.
The deaths were called rural traffic tragedies.
The mutilations were written off
as deep conspiracy theories whispered in local
diners, just local
- Folklore. Right.
- But then this modern team of XCIA
and aerospace scientists show up.
They don't care about the local diner gossip.
They care about the fact that their spectrum analyzers
and drone magnetometers are going absolutely crazy.
As the production notes describe it,
they essentially poke the hornet's nest
- In episode five of the investigation,
which is literally titled Purgatory Bridge.
Yeah. Andy Busante
and Paul Biba returned to Miller Ranch
to investigate this exact triangle
of highway deaths and mutilations.
They aren't relying on the ghost stories.
They are actively looking for the scientific footprint.
They are scanning for that 1.6 gigahertz frequency.
They are mapping the magnetic anomalies in
the earth beneath the bridge.
- Imagine you're driving down a quiet country
road and you cross a bridge.
You hear the thud of the tires on the expansion joints.
You think it's just infrastructure.
It's just rebar, concrete and asphalt suspended over a gap.
But the data that Andy
and Paul pull from this site suggests
that it's something entirely different.
When they investigate purgatory bridge,
the sources reveal a crucial, terrifying finding.
The team discovers hard telemetry based evidence
that the Miller Ranch and Purgatory Bridge site is directly
scientifically linked
to the anomalies it Skin Walker Ranch in Utah.
- This raises an important question.
What exactly connects a heavily guarded ranch in the UTA
Basin of Utah to a deadly rural bridge in
South central Colorado?
Our sources show the investigators finding overlapping data
sets the same frequency,
spikes the same magnetic deviations.
Is it a massive interconnected underground magnetic anomaly
spanning hundreds of miles?
Are these locations nodes on a larger grid?
- If the science confirms that the events causing 15 deaths
and 16 mutilations are part of a larger interconnected grid
of hotspots, it fundamentally shifts
how we view these isolated rural tragedies.
They aren't isolated at all.
It's like discovering that a series
of random house fires were actually all caused
by the same faulty wiring grid underneath the entire city.
- And this is where the science validates the terror.
It is one thing to have a local legend about a deadly bridge
where cars mysteriously crash and cows die.
People can dismiss that as statistics and predators,
but it is another reality entirely.
When a former CIA covert operative
and a Peabody award-winning journalist capture raw hard
data, proving an unseen act
of presence is manipulating the physical environment.
- The numbers don't lie. - They don't.
The localized radiation levels,
the sudden temperature anomalies,
the aggressive radio frequency spikes.
It paints a picture of a physical mechanism at work,
- And that physical mechanism has consequences.
The team isn't encountering a ghost
in the traditional sense.
They're encountering measurable,
sometimes dangerous energies.
At Bradshaw Ranch in Sedona,
which is another interconnected site they investigated,
they found dangerous levels of radiation
and severe temperature anomalies
that physically affected the crew.
- The executive producer of the series, David Carr,
stated in our sources
that their findings push the understanding
of whether merging dimensions are based
on physical realities.
He said, there are revelations
that we find pretty compelling,
and Andy Busante used a very specific intelligence term.
He noted that they encountered
what he called near peer competition.
- Near peer competition.
Let's break that down because in military terms,
near peer means an adversary that has technology
and capabilities roughly equal to
or slightly exceeding your own, like the US and China.
But what does near peer mean in a paranormal context? It
- Means they aren't dealing with a passive
atmospheric glitch.
They are dealing with a sophisticated interference
that actively counters their investigative methods
when they deploy a drone.
The GPS is actively spoofed when they broadcast a frequency,
a harmonic response.
It suggests an intelligence, whether
that is a deeply entrenched, classified human coverup
or a non-human intelligence operating on a physics model,
we barely comprehend. So
- What did this all mean?
I want to ask you the listener right now.
We've covered a lot of ground today from nuclear ICBM
operators to 1970s blackouts
to 15 deaths on a Colorado highway.
Why does a bridge in Colorado
or a ranch in Utah matter to you sitting comfortably at home
or driving on your commute?
Why should you care about LB band
frequencies or ancient cisterns?
- It matters because it proves that the boundaries
of our known physics are incredibly fragile.
We live our lives trusting the laws of gravity,
thermodynamics, and physical geography.
We trust that when we drive over
a bridge, it's just a bridge.
But the Miller Ranch Road Bridge
isn't happening in a vacuum.
It represents a reality
where high strangeness isn't just a quirky
story for a late night show.
It has a literal physical body
- Count.
15 people, 16 animals. Exactly.
- It means the environment around us harbors,
unseen mechanisms, energies,
or even intelligences that operate completely
outside our current understanding of the natural world.
- And what's so vital about the way this team investigates
is the absolute impartiality of their data collection.
Yeah, I love this.
One comment I found deep in the Reddit threads discussing
the show, a username j recite was praising the show's
grounded approach and said, it is mindless entertainment.
With no political bs, ghosts,
and aliens never have any political leanings
or societal agendas.
Humanity should be more like ghosts and aliens.
- That's incredibly well put.
- It really is. Yeah. And while they joke about it being
mindless entertainment, the core truth of
that statement is profound.
The raw terrifying data
of the universe doesn't care about our human drama,
it doesn't care about our beliefs.
It just exists. Andy
and Paul aren't jumping to conclusions blindly.
They're just observing the data
as it aggressively pushes back against them.
- And as I've always maintained,
knowledge is only truly valuable when it is understood
and applied for decades.
The people living near these anomalies,
people like Katie Page,
or the ranchers dealing with Valdez,
were just victims of the unknown.
They suffered the trauma, the losses, the fear
of the unexplained blackouts.
But by understanding that these portals
or spatial anomalies leave a scientific footprint,
like a localized burst of ionizing radiation,
a 1.6 gigahertz frequency transmission,
or a massive magnetic deviation,
we move from being helpless victims of the unknown
to being active observers of a much larger,
much more complex reality.
- We get to map the monster, so to speak,
instead of running from the dark.
We are bringing in night vision, thermal imaging,
and gamma cameras.
We are forcing the unknown to step into the light
of the scientific method,
even if it kicks and screams along the way.
- Exactly. But it also leaves us with a profound,
almost philosophical mystery to consider
regarding the physical spaces we occupy.
We spent a lot of time today talking about a bridge in South
central Colorado, a specific piece of infrastructure tied
to 15 deaths, bizarre mutilations, and hidden frequencies.
But I want you to consider the actual physics
and geography of what a bridge is.
- Uh, where are we going with this?
- Think about what a bridge actually does to an environment.
You are taking thousands of tons of steel, iron, rebar,
and concrete, and you are suspending it in the
air, overflowing water.
Flowing water naturally generates its own energetic
and magnetic currents.
By building a bridge, you are essentially creating a massive
artificial faraday cage,
a huge metallic structure suspended in
a magnetic field. Oh,
- Wow.
I never thought about it like that. If the
- Miller Ranch Road Bridge is indeed a physical portal
or an anomaly zone, as the local claims
and the new scientific telemetry seem to suggest,
is it possible that the infrastructure we build
to cross physical space is inadvertently acting
as a massive magnetic conductor?
Are we accidentally building massive energetic anchors
for these anomalies?
Are we by altering the physical environment with thousands
of tons of suspended steel to connect point A
to point B somehow bridging a dimensional
gap we can't even see?
- That is a staggering thought.
To leave off on our,
our physical bridges are highway overpasses acting
as dimensional lightning rods
because of their sheer metallic mass
and placement over water.
It makes you look at every single overpass,
every quiet country road you drive
down just a little bit differently.
I hope this deep dive has given you a completely new
perspective on how cutting edge science is finally catching
up to the stories we've told in the dark for centuries.
Keep looking a little closer at the world around you.
Keep questioning the unknown
and remember that sometimes the raw data is far more
terrifying than the ghost story.
Thanks for exploring with us and we'll see you next time.
