On episode 223 of SOMEWHERE IN THE SKIES, Ryan is joined by award-winning investigative journalist and best-selling author, Ross Coulthart. With an explosive new documentary that released in Australia on 7News Spotlight all about UFOs, and an upcoming book in the same vein, Coulthart walks us through some of the extraordinary information he's uncovered concerning both the United States and Australia's handling of the UFO situation. Coulthart shares several stories from his documentary and upcoming book, In Plain Sight, and also reveals some of the incredible interviews he's conducted, including a stunning admission by former Director of Science and Technology Development for the Navy, Nat Kobitz, who claims to have been read into a program to retrieve crashed UFOs and back-engineering them. Coulthart also discusses the many challenges within mainstream news to cover the UFO topic with the credibility and diligence it truly deserves. It's a jam-packed interview with one of the leading journalists covering the

On episode 222 of SOMEWHERE IN THE SKIES, Ryan is joined by Tim McMillan of The Debrief, Zac Cichy of the Project Human podcast, and Britt of the Inference YouTube channel for a very special panel discussion on the enigmatic General McCasland. In 2015, Tom DeLonge, co-founder of Blink 182, walked away from mega-stardom to pursue a subject he was just as passionate about as his music; UFOs. DeLonge would go on to have a series of secret meetings with high-level government insiders, including a very accomplished Air Force General, who appeared to share his belief in the importance of disclosure. This led DeLonge to form To The Stars Academy of Arts and Science in 2017. The organization included an elite team of former government and defense contractor insiders who would work behind-the-scenes to socialize the topic and persuade the government to reveal what it knows about UFOs. But just exactly who was this mysterious general who seemingly brought DeLonge's team together, and what might it say about where we've

On episode 221 of SOMEWHERE IN THE SKIES, Ryan is joined by political analyst, co-host of the Fault Lines podcast, and creator of the Progressive Soap Box YouTube channel, Jamarl Thomas. With Capitol Hill, the Pentagon, and mainstream media involved with the UFO/UAP topic like never before, will this be yet another empty promise from the U.S. Government and their handling of UFOs? Or could this be a paradigm shift we've waited decades for? Thomas gives us his thoughts on where we were, are, and where we may be heading as we continue to navigate our way through UFOs in 2021.Subscribe to the Jamarl Thomas YouTube Channel: https://bit.ly/3e4wxC2 Subscribe to Fault Lines: https://bit.ly/3dxhnVs Patreon: www.patreon.com/somewhereskiesWebsite: www.somewhereintheskies.comSomewhere in the Skies Subreddit: www.reddit.com/r/SomewhereSkiesPod/YouTube Channel: CLICK HEREOfficial Store: CLICK HERESomewhere in the Skies Coffee! https://bit.ly/3mIAq2oOrder Ryan’s book in paperback, ebook, or audiobook by CLIC

On episode 220 of SOMEWHERE IN THE SKIES, we are welcomed by a very special panel of former Navy servicemen to discuss their involvement in the now-famous "Tic Tac" event off the West Coast in 2004 and the "Gimbal" and "Go Fast" events off the East Coast in 2015. Gary Voorhis and Jason Turner describe the dramatic string of events that would ultimately lead to fighter jets being scrambled to intercept the mysterious, oblong-shaped object we've seen in the official Navy video released by the Department of Defense. Then, Matthew Roberts discusses the atmosphere on the USS Theodore Roosevelt when the other two DoD-released videos were filmed and how it was handled in real-time. More importantly, we discuss the impact these events have had on these men during and after, and how it has ultimately led to all three of them continuing to search for answers both in the skies, and from within.My special thanks to Gary Voorhis, Jason Turner, and Matthew Roberts for their service to the United States, and for their perso

On episode 219 of SOMEWHERE IN THE SKIES, we welcome Walter Bosley for the very first time. Ryan met Bosley in 2018 while both were speaking at a conference in Halifax, Nova Scotia. What Ryan didn't know was that Bosley was a certified spook! In this epic conversation, Bosley navigates us through his complex work in counterintelligence with the FBI and his work as a Special Agent in counterterrorism with the Office of Special Investigations with the U.S. Air Force. Bosley also shares the alternate thread of personal investigations he embarked on throughout his life in looking in to UFOs, the paranormal, and the occult. With a cryptic mentor leading him both through the black budget world and the world of the unexplained, Bosley began to realize, that the deeper you go into the intelligence apparatus, the stranger it truly gets. Bosley also gives his personal thoughts on former AFOSI agent, Richard Doty and U.S. Army Counterintelligence special agent, Luis Elizondo, the former director of the Advanced Aerospac

Welcome to a special bonus episode of SOMEWHERE IN THE SKIES. Well... it's here! The unclassified UFO report for the public released on June 25th... to VERY mixed reviews! The report, a mere nine pages in total, encompasses 144 observations - mostly from U.S. Navy personnel - of what the government officially calls "unidentified aerial phenomenon," or UAP, dating back to 2004. Labeled a preliminary assessment, it was compiled by the Office of the Director of National Intelligence in conjunction with a Navy-led task force created by the Pentagon last year. Was it what you expected? Was it a huge letdown? I sent out a call to YOU, the listeners, to give me your thoughts on the report and you did not disappoint. My special thanks to everyone who voiced their thoughts on the report and what comes next!Here is the Official Pentagon UFO Report: https://bit.ly/3hpzWwbHere is the official press statement by Pentagon Press Secretary, John Kirby: https://bit.ly/3h8QcBnPatreon: www.patreon.com/somewhereskiesWebsite: www
