Above and Beyond Explanation - The Secret of Skinwalker Ranch 3x01

Real-Frosty posted 10 months ago

@Abella, agree, not the fiery mythical beast perhaps a bearded dragon iguana. Still, I do find the 1.6 GHz signal interesting though, which doesn't seem to show up until they start venturing out onto the ranch. Perhaps the ranch is being monitored/spied-upon and this flurry of activity is in fact communications to/from the military base(s). While these supposedly top scientist... (pfft) often overlook the most obvious (rich in education less so in common sense), start one thing then another without finishing anything. Whenever something does happen that is caught on camera, it's out of range, or behind a tree or building. Mega-wealth ranch owner can't pepper that ranch with overlapping and duplicating cameras? Take the llama's for example, let's get two to see if anything happens and let's put them in a place we care barely see with cameras. Something does happen but your cameras are so far away and at such an odd angle that you can't really see anything? Seriously? Now let's move them to an area that is well monitored, but they are not mentioned again... yawn. The show format of late seems to be: dwell on the last few minutes of last weeks show without really saying or doing anything of substance. About the time something of interest gets mentioned it's during the last 5 minutes (to keep you coming back next week I assume). So, I'm just gonna let these finish and binge them all at once, I'm not watching real-time any more.

1.6 GHz radio signal is just a military communication signal

US military has a flying data hub that communicates with line of sight transmissions at the 1.6 GHz frequency with ground assets. This allows two units without line of sight to communicate securely with each other.

Range is about 150 miles.

Skinwalker Ranch sits almost directly between Hall Air Force Base and NORAD (Or the Space Force Complex).

If there was a flying hub 40 miles or so east of the ranch. Hill AFB could communicate to the hub and the message be securely relayed to NORAD or Space Force.

It could be range improvement testing, some military exercise, who knows. But the 1.6 GHz range would light up over the ranch anytime this kind of communication was being made.

Mystery solved. Not aliens... Air Force

Have Dragon in new Season walk into Helicopter blade when his boss comes to visit and make it an Alien mystery for six episodes.

That security guy "Dragon" ruins the show, needs to be replaced possibly with a female.
