Somewhere In The Skies

On episode 179 of SOMEWHERE IN THE SKIES, Ryan is joined by writer, podcast host, and Bigfoot hunter, Andrew Sanford. On the heels of the scientific breakthrough of finding signatures of life on Venus, Ryan and Andrew discuss two films that asked the questions: Are we alone, and if not, how do we make contact? Those films are The Arrival (1996) and Arrival (2016). These films could not have been more diametrically opposed on how they decided to answer these questions. Join the guys as they navigate their way through both films and ride the cosmic rollercoaster of emotions from laughing to immediately crying. This is the whiplash of The Arrival(s)!Follow Andrew on Twitter @SanfordMinusSon Patreon: www.patreon.com/somewhereskiesWebsite: www.somewhereintheskies.comYouTube Channel: CLICK HEREOfficial Store: CLICK HEREOrder Ryan's Book by CLICKING HERETwitter: @SomewhereSkiesInstagram: @SomewhereSkiesPodWatch Mysteries Decoded for free at www.CWseed.comEpisode edited by Jane Palomera MooreOpeni

On episode 178 of SOMEWHERE IN THE SKIES, Ryan sits down with one of his personal heroes, Rhys Darby! Many probably know him from his roles in film and television, such as Flight of the Conchords, What We Do in the Shadows, the Jumanji reboots, and of course... The X-Files! But what some may not know is that Darby is also a huge UFO enthusiast, even hosting a podcast all about UFOs and aliens! On the heels of exciting news about the potential for microbial life on Venus, Ryan and Rhys discuss all-things UFOs, some of the amazing guests he's had on the Aliens Like Us podcast, his time in the New Zealand Army, and then he answers your listener questions. And of course we talk all about his guest-starring role on the X-Files.

On episode 177 of SOMEWHERE IN THE SKIES, Ryan is joined by listener-favorite, Jason McClellan. The two discuss current news concerning the Pentagon UAP Task Force and the latest concerning Space Law. Can law actually be enforced in the outer reaches of the cosmos, or is it nothing but an intergalactic "Wild West"? Then the guys pull the VCR out of the dusty attic, brush off the cobwebs of their memories, and remember the moment they first saw the famous ALIEN AUTOPSY film! They discuss the controversy surrounding its origins, the convoluted story of how and why it was made, and why it's back in the news today concerning an interesting memo involving the CIA. Could the Alien Autopsy, having racked up over 2 BILLION views across the world, have been the greatest hoax of all-time?Follow Jason McClellan on Twitter @AcecentricVisit Rogue Planet at: www.RoguePlanet.tvPatreon: www.patreon.com/somewhereskiesWebsite: www.somewhereintheskies.comYouTube Channel: CLICK HEREOfficial Store: CLICK HEREOrder Ryan's Boo

On episode 175 of SOMEWHERE IN THE SKIES, Ryan is joined by filmmaker, Caroline Cory, to discuss her new film, Superhuman: The Invisible Made Visible. The film focusses on the experiences of individuals with extra-sensory powers that seem to defy the laws of physics known to man today. Cory takes the viewers on an extraordinary journey to achieve tangible and measurable proof of these seemingly miraculous phenomena. Through a series of groundbreaking scientific experiments and demonstrations, viewers will find themselves connecting the dots about the true nature of their own consciousness, the relation between mind and matter and discover whether they live in a simulated matrix or if they can have control over their physical reality and create a fulfilling human experience. We run through some of these experiments, the power of the mind, and how each and every one of us may be connected in the invisible world of consciousness and beyond.Watch the film and learn more at: www.superhumanfilm.comFollow all of Car

On episode 174 of SOMEWHERE IN THE SKIES, Ryan is joined by former Air Force Security Forces officer, Jeremy McGowan. Jeremy is a twelve-year veteran, having spent almost three years in the Middle East during Desert Storm and other operations, serving with Joint Special Operations Command and the DEA in performing counter-narcotics operations in the jungles of Colombia. But during an operation in the Jordanian Desert in 1995, something inexplicable occurred. He and a fellow security officer were ordered to guard a massive, unmarked crate in the middle of the desert. They were never told what was in the crate or why they were guarding it. But while performing the cryptic duties one night, McGowan noticed something strange in the skies. Something that hovered directly over the crate and performed unbelievable maneuvers. Whatever it was, it seemed just as interested in the contents of that crate as McGowan was. And as we dig deeper in to the events of that night, we will be just as curious as well. McGowan runs

On episode 169 of SOMEWHERE IN THE SKIES, Ryan is joined by filmmaker, Christopher Munch. They discuss Munch's latest film, The 11th Green, which stars Campbell Scott (House of Cards, Roger Dodger) as a journalist who uncovers the truth behind the mythology of President Eisenhower’s long-alleged involvement in extraterrestrial events. The Hollywood Reporter calls it “A thoughtful and compelling what-if . . . provocative and illuminating.” Rife with hidden government secrets and Matrix-like mind-benders, The 11th Green is grounded in what is widely believed to be the nuts-and-bolts core story of post-war U.S. military and government involvement with UFOs. Thought-provoking but understated, filled with sharply drawn characters, stark desert landscapes, and leaps across the space-time continuum, The 11th Green is challenging cinema that generates questions, discussion, and debate long after the credits roll. Today, Munch and Ryan discuss the carefully researched, yet highly imaginative w

On episode 168 of SOMEWHERE IN THE SKIES, we are heading to Iran. In 1976, strange lights were being sighted over the city of Tehran. After dozens of reports, the Iranian Air Force sent up several fighter jets to investigate. General Parvis Jafari would attempt to identify the lights, soon discovering it was much more than just lights in the sky. He would soon be involved in one of the most tense standoffs with a UFO ever reported, and the subsequent investigation that would include the Iranian Air Force, the United States Air Force, the DIA, CIA, and NSA. What exactly was seen in the skies that day, and why did it seem that the United States wanted control of the entire investigation? This is the extraordinary story of the Tehran UFO Incident.Voiceover talent provided by Roman Alec Trevino and Conor J. NolanSupport the podcast with a one-time contribution.

On episode 163 of SOMEWHERE IN THE SKIES, Nick Redfern returns to discuss his latest book, The Rendlesham Forest UFO Conspiracy: A Close Encounter Exposed as a Top Secret Government Experiment. In the final days of December 1980, strange encounters and bizarre incidents occurred in the heart of Rendlesham Forest, Suffolk, England. Based upon their personal encounters, many of the military personnel who were present at the time believed that something extraterrestrial came down in those dark woods. What if, however, there was another explanation for what happened four decades ago? What if that explanation, if revealed, proved to be even more controversial than the theory that aliens arrived from a faraway world? The ramifications for the field of Ufology would be immense. In his new, sensational book, Nick Redfern reveals that one of the most famous UFO cases of all time was really a series of top secret experiments using holograms, mind-control programs, deception, disinformation, conspiracies and cover-ups.

On episode 162 of SOMEWHERE IN THE SKIES, we welcome Patrick to the show to recount some of the strange and surreal stories of a lifetime with the unknown. First, Patrick and a friend find themselves lost with an unstable conspiracy theorist in the backcountry of Northern Montana in the winter of 1996. With all bets off, the two boys are forced to follow the bizarre man to safety, but not before he shows them an enormous UFO flying directly overhead, which shatters their reality and casts doubt that the strange guide may be telling the truth after all. And then, along the banks of a small river in New Jersey, a fisherman and his brother come face to face with an unimaginable entity. Two years later along this same stretch of river, Patrick watches up close as an extraordinary object hovers in the forest, sending wildlife scattering in all directions, before shooting skyward through the trees and disappearing into the heavens. And lastly, several strange encounters leave Patrick mystified at a place known by l

On episode 161 of SOMEWHERE IN THE SKIES, the Time Lord himself, Micah Hanks, returns to guide us through time and space back to the age of antiquity to speculate what UFOs looked like, or how they were perceived throughout the ages. Tracing aerial phenomena in ancient times, the middle ages, up through the modern era and today, we hear the incredible ways that Hanks and other UFO researchers are using modern-day technology to investigate aerial phenomena of centuries past. From cosmic anchors being dropped by celestial airships to luminous crosses, shields, and yes... even saucers being recorded throughout time in our skies. Are these truly visitors from beyond or a gradual myth in the making?
