Season 6 of “The Secret of Skinwalker Ranch” is still going strong, still uncovering the mysteries at the heart of the mysterious titular ranch. This week’s episode is entitled “Smoke it Out,” and it airs on History Channel on Tuesday, June 17 at 9 p.m. You can watch live as it airs on Sling TV (half off first month) or Philo (free trial), or DIRECTV (free trial).
In the new episode “Smoke It Out,” the team will build on what they discovered in the season premiere, “Bubble Trouble" and last week’s episode, “The Drone Zone.” This time, they will light a huge bonfire to aid in their investigation of the mysterious bubble, but they may be frightened by why they end up uncovering.

“The Secret of Skinwalker Ranch” follows a group of investigators as they attempt to uncover the many strange occurrences around the infamous Skinwalker Ranch in Uintah, Utah. The ranch is more than 500 acres, and has long been investigated as a source of possible supernatural or UFO-related activity. (The latter is more the focus of the show.) Brandon Fugal, the ranch’s owner, and famous aerospace engineer Travis S. Taylor are among the series’ cast.
