Somewhere In The Skies

On episode 139 of SOMEWHERE IN THE SKIES, we tackle one of the most well-known and well documented UFO events of all time; The Rendlesham Forest UFO incident. Often dubbed "Britain's Roswell", this event took place over three consecutive nights in a forest between two joint military bases in Suffolk, England in December of 1980. Set amongst the backdrop of the Cold War, US Forces were stationed in England in case of a Soviet attack. Unbeknownst to British forces, the US were secretly housing nuclear weapons on the base as well, completely against nuclear treaty at the time. Early during the Christmas holiday, strange lights were witnessed on radar and in person over RAF Bentwaters and RAF Woodbridge. But not only lights... a solid craft was said to have landed in Rendlesham Forest which ran between the joint bases.Officers were sent out to investigate, and what they experienced would become one of the most incredible close encounter UFO stories ever recorded. Backed up by official military documents, aud

On episode 135 of SOMEWHERE IN THE SKIES, we take a trip to Russia to bring you a story so mysterious and so tragic, that it remains one of the most controversial unsolved cases in history. On February 2nd, 1959, nine highly experienced members of the Ural Polytechnical Institute set off on a challenging trek through the Ural mountains with their leader, Igor Dyatlov. But something happened in the middle of the night that caused the group to rip their tent open from the inside and wander through the frozen tundra.Three weeks later, five bodies were found. After two months, the remaining bodies were also discovered.

On episode 122 of SOMEWHERE IN THE SKIES, we head to Dreamland. Watertown. Groom Lake. Whatever you may call it; we know it best as Area 51. When a Facebook event group was created in jest, it exploded across the social networking highway and became an overnight sensation. “Storm Area 51: They Can't Stop Us All” was created by Matty Roberts, a young man who had no idea what his joke event would soon become. With over 3 million people now interested in going or confirmed their participation, the small town of Rachel Nevada has no idea what the expect come September 20th. And neither do those who actually show up to storm this highly secretive military installation.With a renewed interest in Area 51, thanks in part to both a recent documentary and appearance on the Joe Rogan Experience podcast, Bob Lazar is now on the minds of a new generation who may have never heard his story before.
