But it's those that come on the property and they'll start shining flashlights on our cameras and our equipment.

Or they'll flash laser beams on the mesa and various things like that.

Or they'll come trampling through.

And again, Eric has set up so much equipment that measures everything from vibrations into the ground down to a finite degree so that we can tell...

And we can coordinate with other equipment to see if there's something actually actively happening or if it's just normal movement of the earth or normal lights in the sky and things like that.

the amount of data that has to be poured through to pick out what is, what it could be a snowflake blowing through the wind on infrared.

That looks spectacular by the way, it really does to vet that all out.

So something as simple as a flashlight shining as a spot on the Mesa where we've had actual times where, you know,

We've had luminous objects in the sky or the Mesa itself has glown to try and weed through that and determine what is, you know, human interference versus something that we need to delve deeper into and try and study and see if we can figure out what's causing that to happen.

is a ridiculous task and it can take weeks on end pouring through footage and and files and then ultimately find out that we realized it was somebody on the south end of the property shining a bright flashlight up on the side of the mesa as opposed to something that you know really doesn't have an everyday explanation so

It really does mess with the scientific integrity of what's going on.

It's a living laboratory and when you have outside interferences and unknown people being on the property and we pick up movement or shapes or things like that, it really can set back pouring through that data and figuring out really if it's something we need to further investigate or if we just need to scrap altogether.

Oh, exponentially worse.

Absolutely.

Yes.

Again, you know, we're grateful that people are curious and excited about Skinwalker Ranch.

But with that, there are individuals that feel like it because they're a fan of the show or they're an enthusiast about the paranormal or the UFO community or whatever, that that gives them license to try and have an experience of their own, even though it's private property.

It would be like me being a fan of a particular sports team, just going to their facility and saying, hey,

I'm a fan of Manchester United, so I get to come in here and hang out with the boys.

As opposed to, look, you have to have an invitation.
