Sego Canyon Petroglyphs and Ghost Town in 4K

[@cafe4cats]

Love this. Thanks for sharing. Super interesting.

[@XC797]

Excellent presentation. Thank you for sharing about the history of Sego Canyon .

[@YardLimit]

Great video! You've done a lot of research and it's appreciated.

[@macfawlty]

I just discovered your videos, linked from PhantomPilots. Very well done. Great flying and I really like the narrative. Very natural. An aerial tour guide.

[@Raptorman0909]

Thanks, this video is a composite of two flights about a year apart. I flew the petroglyph flight last May and then the Ghost town flight less than a month ago.

Don't ever go to the ghost ranch .it too much...skinwalker ranch

[@jilltrump6696]

It's just miles from here

[@jilltrump6696]

Thanks for your work on this place guys n gals

[@fanatichighdesertrailroader]

No matter what barrier is put in place, there is always some idiots defacing it. Great Video

[@Raptorman0909]

And that is not a new thing given the graffiti dating back more than a hundred years. Are care for ancient things is not what it should be...

[@joefee1085]

Hello - Really beautiful work. I wonder if you take on drone projects? I've been looking for a photographer to take some photos for a project of mine and this area was something I am interested in. Would love to learn if you do that. Thanks so much.

[@oo5950]

Beautiful work! The color of the rock looks spectacular!

[@candicebrown7505]

how are the roads into this place? Any camping allowed? Great video and aerial shots! Thanks!

[@Raptorman0909]

The road, Thompson Canyon Road, is paved all the way up to just before the Petroglyphs and dirt after that. From the Petroglyphs to the old town-site of Sego is about 1.6 miles of dirt roads that are easy to drive in any car so long as the roads are mostly dry -- like most of the desert southwest, the dirt roads are generally drive-able in passenger car when dry but can be impassable in a Jeep when wet.

[@jilltrump6696]

My ufo life started here in the 70s. At this spot..there are biting gnats so I never stay too long. But it has a feel

[@alsobrook4336]

I love your videos I just purchased my phantom for pro I would give the world to have a friend like you to teach me just a few little things seem to have a few bugs here in there but your footage looks just amazing and I’m just curious is this all edited and do you get so to speak little problems with your phantom for pro and just want to know your thoughts any information you can give me on your settings are the best settings I can can use for my phantom for pro would be highly appreciated

[@Raptorman0909]

Thanks Brian, my name is Brian as well. I have decades of experience as a photographer though only a couple years as a more active videographer, but the skill and experience as a photographer I think helps a lot in knowing what adjustments need to be made to get the most out of the P4P camera. I would recommend my video called "DJI Phantom 4 Pro Camera Issues and Recommended Settings" from a few months ago. It covers some of the issues and my recommended settings. kzbin.info/www/bejne/pXzHfXpjiZqgo6M

Raptorman0909 ty so much,I will check that out

[@taurielnightblade7200]

IT IS A PITY THAT VANDALISM AND THE IGNORANCE OF PEOPLE DESTROY ART AND THE HERITAGE OF HISTORY, THIS IS SO IMPORTANT. THEY MUST BE PROTECTED.

[@Raptorman0909]

Agreed, but so many think they should have the right to do whatever they want, wherever they want.

[@m.e.9974]

I subscribed.

[@rocksandoil2241]

Yep, the building was still there in 96 and I heard it collapsed by 2010.

[@omalicuchin09]

What 4k settings did u use

[@Raptorman0909]

Manual exposure control, f/5.6, ISO100, SS about 1/1000, 4K30-UHD, H.265, D.Cinelike.

[@dsharpness]

4:02 that's the Meteor Shaman with his usual four meteors on right...I dunno...called Sinbad too...this the third Meteor Shaman I've found...there's a famous small black and white photo of Apache shamans (just found this reading about Operation Cereberus-recovery of looted things) and they have these antennae on their heads, and masked, and body ornament and cloak making them look much like these "barrier" figures...😉

[@SegoMan]

Several frequencies of antennas as well..

[@remoteseer62]

Do you realize that there are cloaked ETs & saucers in your video? Nice capture!

[@marko0samec]

beautiful!!! but sorry... is there really NO security applied so just anyone can add their own "art" over if they find that something they should do!?!?! that was shocking to me!!!

[@Raptorman0909]

Marko, I appreciate your anger at the vandalism but protecting all the ancient sites is not possible -- there are hundreds of thousands of them. Sadly, there is a small percentage of people that think they should be able to do whatever they wish and have no regard for these places. People have mined for coal and lived in this area after the indigenous populations were pushed off the land and in the hundreds of years since this began we have the occasional sociopathic type that don't give a rats ass about the place and want others to know they don't care. It is sad.

[@marko0samec]

@@Raptorman0909 thanks for response. too bad it's not possible :( all the best to you and your loved ones. greetings from Mb, Slovenia

[@beltken]

Pictographs...not petroglyphs.

[@ruthmusser4449]

Funny I see more pictographs than petroglyphs.

[@frenchpizza9725]

Our Native American tribes have been Here in America for over 23,000 thousand years . I'm traced back to Alaska. Be safe family of Mother Earth

[@Raptorman0909]

And I wouldn't be surprised if it goes back even earlier than that -- almost anytime during the ice age would have made it possible to make it from east Asia to the America's. One theory is that the decline and extinction of the megafauna like the Mammoths is that early America's killed them off while hunting, but I fond that unlikely -- you don't go further and further to find the last remaining Mammoths when there are smaller game like deer nearby.

[@stephensego2023]

I can rest easy now that I know my name is in good use. Sad that the town is dead but I'm sure one day we will know what the ancients were trying to tell us!

[@xrycisrts1024]

You gotta respect 109° longitude!

[@Raptorman0909]

The whole SE corner of Utah as well as SW Colorado, NW New Mexico and NE Arizona are filled with hundreds of thousands of ancient Indian sights dating back over 2000 years. Its hardly a surprise that modern people would inject an alien aspect. Many of the pictographs depict people that almost look to be wearing helmets etc.

[@SegoMan]

@@Raptorman0909 There is many different of radio antenna frequencies depicted in those paintings.

[@ivaneberle3972]

Calling the pictographs (paintings) "petroglyphs" (etchings or peckings) convinced me you didn't do any additional research than what you read off the signage

[@Raptorman0909]

There are both pictographs and petroglyphs, but you knew that right?

[@SegoMan]

There is a music video about this place now: kzbin.info/www/bejne/f3uneoJup82th5Y
