The video documents an experiment at Skinwalker Ranch where technologist Pete Kelsey uses a handheld lidar device to scan for anomalies. The team, including Cameron Fugle, conducts the experiment from a helicopter. They detect an anomaly at 300 feet above ground, which is unusual as previous phenomena were detected much higher. The experiment also involves launching a rocket and broadcasting a 1.6 GHz signal. The team experiences unexpected forces affecting the helicopter, suggesting electromagnetic interference. The findings are analyzed, revealing a persistent anomaly, prompting further investigation.
