Somewhere In The Skies

Welcome to Comedians on UFOs: Part 2! We are joined by Tim Barnes, Michael Ian Black, Brian Huskey, Reggie Watts, Andrew Sanford, and Dean Haglund! UFO accounts can sometimes reminds us of a playful world. A humorous world. A species looking for structure and pattern and constantly being bombarded with both chaos and ridiculousness. And that if most definitely UFOs. And it's also comedy. Comedy gives us a communal experience full of confusion and raw emotional release. It makes us feel more human than ever. So when we're faced with something possibly non-human, we can choose to run away from it or fight it. Or, we can embrace it and sometimes, laugh about it. In this series, Ryan digs into the archives of Somewhere in the Skies to bring you a collection of interviews he's conducted throughout the years with comedians. And, as you'll see, a common thread starts to weave its way through these conversations. Why are comedians drawn to UFOs? How can we use it to both accept and possibly even understand UFO phenom

On episode 337 of SOMEWHERE IN THE SKIES, we head to Indiana. In 1993, across the state, witnesses in all walks of life would report dozens of UFO sightings for over an hour. All reported similar shaped craft, with red lights being the primary detail that made local authorities believe that everyone was seeing the same thing. The craft seemed to be moving with purpose and destination. But where? And just exactly what was it? Some say it was Apache helicopters. Others believed it to be a craft from another world. But whatever it was, it gripped the entire state of Indiana in what became known as the "Flash UFO Wave of 1993."

On episode 335 of SOMEWHERE IN THE SKIES, we are joined by author and researcher, Christopher O'Brien. From 1992 to 2002, O’Brien investigated over 1,000 paranormal events reported in the San Luis Valley—located in south-central Colorado/north-central New Mexico. Working with law enforcement officials, ex-military, ranchers and an extensive network of skywatchers, he documented what may have been the most intense wave of unexplained activity ever seen in a single region of North America. His ten-year investigation resulted in the three books of his “mysterious valley” trilogy" and a book titled, "Stalking the Herd", which examines our relationship with cattle and how this has manifested into the modern “cattle mutilation” mystery. We will discuss all of this and more on this special livestream episode where we'll also take your listener questions.  Find Christopher O'Brien's work at: http://www.ourstrangeplanet.com Read Ryan’s Articles by CLICKING HERE Opening Theme Song, "Ephemeral Reign" by Per Kiilstofte C

On episode 334 of SOMEWHERE IN THE SKIES, Ryan is joined by Derek Hayes of The Monsters Among Us podcast and David Flora of the Blurry Photos podcast.

After learning of numerous paranormal and mysterious stories and encounters in the Anza-Borrego Desert State Park area, they set out on a quest to find the facts behind the fictions in what appears to be a paranormal "window area" hidden in the deserts of Southern California.

With interviews from the journalists behind some of the biggest UAP stories like the New York Times' Leslie Kean and Ralph Blumenthal, POLITICO's Bryan Bender, KLAS-TV's George Knapp, Popular Mechanics Tim McMillan, and others, Damante navigates how the news industry works and provides insight into some of the biggest UAP stories ever to be broken. Today, Damante breaks down the new world of UFO journalism, using as an example the latest bombshell article published by The Debrief, concerning an Intelligence official who claims the U.S. is in possession of "Non-Human" craft of "Unknown Origins."
