On episode 159 of SOMEWHERE IN THE SKIES, UFO Jane of the Weird UFO Show takes the hosting seat for an epic panel discussion with actor/comedian, Dave Foley, investigative filmmaker, Jeremy Corbell, and of course... Ryan! The panel originally aired during a special fifteen hour-long virtual UFO lockdown event created, curated, and hosted by UFO Jane. In this panel, the group discuss the Navy UFO videos, the process of belief versus the acceptance of facts and evidence, and of course with Jeremy on-hand, we get a crash course on Bob Lazar and the theories behind his anti-gravity work during his time working at S-4, a sub-site of Area 51.

On episode 158 of SOMEWHERE IN THE SKIES, we head down to the dark and dingy basement office of NY Post journalist, Steven Greenstreet. After the bombshell news of a secret Pentagon UFO program was released to the world, news outlets scurried to play catch-up on this highly intriguing news. Luckily, the NY Post had Steven Greenstreet on hand who had a keen interest in the UFO topic. Thus, The Basement Office web-series was created. Along with Nick Pope, a former government official who researched and investigated UFOs for the Ministry of Defense, Greenstreet and Pope navigate their way through decades of UFO history to get us to where we are now in 2020 on the issue. In this interview, Greenstreet discusses what he found most fascinating in his research. He then breaks down two very compelling UFO videos he and Ryan came across, and then we get a sneak peek and what to expect in season two of the Basement Office.To watch the entire first season of the Basement Office, CLICK HEREWatch the video version of thi

On episode 157 of SOMEWHERE IN THE SKIES, we are taking a sharp turn and heading down the spectral path of the paranormal and supernatural with Sapphire Sandalo. No stranger to the unknown, Sapphire navigates us through her own personal journey of Filipino folklore and familial stories. She then shares some of her favorite accounts of the strange, the dark, the light, and the mystifying from her hit new podcast, Stories with Sapphire.

In this bonus episode of SOMEWHERE IN THE SKIES, Andrew Sanford returns to review yet another film that would go down in the annals of alien abduction history; but not exactly in the best of ways. Polarizing in every sense of the word, Communion, adapted from the New York Times Best-Selling book of the same name, tells the story of real-life horror novelist, Whitley Strieber. On December 26th, 1985, at a secluded cabin in upstate New York, Whitley Strieber joined his wife and son for a weekend in the woods. They celebrated the holiday together and went to bed early. Six hours later, he found himself suddenly awake...and forever changed. In the film adaptation, directed by Phillipe Mora and starring Christopher Walken as Whitley Strieber, it became clear that just because a book is a phenomenal success, that doesn't mean the film will be as highly praised. Ryan and Andrew navigate their way through this dizzying film, trying to find out just exactly where the film went wrong... and so bizarrely right!Chec

From V-Shaped formations of lights over Colorado to saucer-shaped craft floating over the skies of California.

As the Barrett family's peaceful suburban life is rocked by an escalating series of disturbing events, they come to learn that a terrifying and deadly force is after them, one which may have arrived from beyond the stars.This polarizing film draws on decades of authentic alien abduction cases and research, mashing it in to a smorgasbord of paranormal, supernatural, and ufological goodness and badness.

With UFOs being written and talked about in major news outlets and behind closed doors in Washington D.C., Breedlove and series host Shannon Legro set out to document what is by far the most tumultuous point in the history of "flying saucers". The series takes viewers from the gates of Area 51 itself to the snow-capped White Mountains of New Hampshire. Filming took place across the United States, including New York City, Phoenix, Sedona, Los Angeles, Orlando, and Las Vegas.

On episode 151 of SOMEWHERE IN THE SKIES, Ryan is joined in-studio by Leslie Kean and Mike Anthony to talk all about their extensive work looking in to a subject many refuse to think about; death.What happens when we die?

In the book, and in this conversation, we meet the bigwigs, the scrappy upstarts, the field investigators, the rational people, and the unhinged kooks of this sprawling community. How do they interact with each other? How do they interact with “anomalous phenomena”? And how do they reflect the politics and culture of the larger world around them?Guest Bio: Sarah Scoles is a science writer whose work has appeared in The Atlantic, Slate, Smithsonian, The Washington Post, Scientific American, Popular Science, Discover, New Scientist, Aeon, and Wired.
