Somewhere In The Skies

On episode 244 of SOMEWHERE IN THE SKIES, we take a look back at the extraordinary and tragic case of police officer, George Wheeler. After encountering a massive UFO one evening in 1976 in Elmwood, Wisconsin, he claimed to have been hit by a beam of light that forced him to the ground. Only six months after the encounter, Wheeler would be dead. There were several other witnesses to different aspects that night as well, only bolstering this incredible event.  But what makes this case even more compelling is that many other UFO reports had come in prior to and after the Wheeler incident all throughout Elmwood, Wisconsin.  What was it about this midwestern town, and did whatever happen that night cause the untimely death of George Wheeler?  Patreon: www.patreon.com/somewhereskies Website: www.somewhereintheskies.com YouTube Channel: CLICK HERE Official Store: CLICK HERE Somewhere in the Skies Coffee: CLICK HERE Order Ryan’s book in paperback, ebook, or audiobook by CLICKING HERE Twitter: @SomewhereSkies Instagr

On episode 240 of SOMEWHERE IN THE SKIES, we are joined by Luis Jimenez of the Unidentified Celebrity Review, Jazz Shaw, political analyst and writer for The Debrief, and surprise guest, John Greenewald Jr. of The Black Vault! Greenewald shares a breaking story of a new Navy UFO event that he uncovered through FOIA files, and what this could mean for further FOIA requests he's already put in. Then, the guys catch us up on the latest UAP news concerning HR 4350, an amendment, drafted by Sen. Kirsten Gillibrand, for inclusion in the 2022 National Defense Authorization Act requiring the government to strengthen its investigations of unidentified aerial phenomena.

On episode 239 of SOMEWHERE IN THE SKIES, we peek behind the Iron Curtain to hear extraordinary accounts of UFO pursuits, crashes, and encounters from the former Soviet Union. Crash retrievals with supposed occupants, breaking in to an almost impenetrable craft, UFOs over a nuclear missile site, and an underwater battle with aquatic aliens... these are the sensational, yet sometimes well-documented cases to be unearthed in Soviet UFO files. Are these files merely a game of disinformation during the hight of the Cold War, or could they be true accounts of Russian military and civilian witnesses coming in to contact with something truly otherworldly?  This episode was co-researched and co-written by Marcus Lowth.

On episode 238 of SOMEWHERE IN THE SKIES, we are joined by author, historian, and professor, Aaron Gulyas. With recent conversations in the UFO world circling around a self-proclaimed "contactee" named Anjali, the idea of humans interacting with aliens has resurfaced in the most controversial of ways. As the mainstream begins to simply process the idea of the existence of UFOs, according to the U.S. Government, they now must wrestle with the idea that perhaps those piloting some of these UFOs are either already here, or are in fact communicating through time and space with chosen humans. But these ideas aren't new. In fact, they were all the rage in the 1950s up through the 1970s. And Aaron Gulyas has been preserving this special time in UFO history in several books he's authored and with his hit podcast, The Saucer Life. Today, he runs is through 3 of his most notable contactee stories and the eccentric people... and aliens... behind them.  Find The Saucer Life at: https://saucerlife.com/  Follow Aaron Gulya

On episode 237 of SOMEWHERE IN THE SKIES, we travel to Bolivia to hear the extraordinary story of a UFO crash in the mountains of Tarija. What exactly was this metallic, saucer-shaped object that many saw come crashing to Earth? Was this crash in South America truly part of a U.S. top secret project to recover foreign space debris, or could this have been a visitor from parts unknown? We dive deep in to this mysterious case, and also many other close encounter cases in Bolivia, Argentina, and various other regions of South America.

In this special Halloween season bonus episode, Ryan brings us just outside the North of Prague in the Czech Republic, to a 13th century castle with an ominous and extremely dark history. Houska Castle wasn’t near any water, wasn’t strategically important, and didn’t seem to have anyone living in it. So why was this random fortress built? According to local legend, below the stone floors of the castle's chapel, was a dark, seemingly endless pit that was literally a gateway to Hell. Throughout its time, the castle housed poets, Swedish warlords, and perhaps most notably, the Nazi regime. Said to store thousands of books on the occult, the Nazi's were rumored to practice alchemy and occult-like practices for over a decade in Houska Castle. We hear the mysterious history behind this enigmatic castle and its unique design said to have been built not as a fortress to keep danger out, but to keep danger... and demons inside.

On episode 235 of SOMEWHERE IN THE SKIES, Ryan joins the Rogue Planet crew in a special panel discussion featuring former USAF Missile Launch Officer, Robert Salas.

Robert Salas was the Captain in charge at the time.

On episode 234 of SOMEWHERE IN THE SKIES, we welcome Michael Avon Oeming. Oeming is a comic book artist and writer, currently working on a comic book series based on the files of Project Blue Book. "Blue Book" will recreate stories of real UFO encounters in comic book form, based on the true-to-life testimonies of UFO witnesses with the goal of not sensationalizing or editorializing those accounts. The first chapters explore the circumstances surrounding the 1961 abduction of Betty and Barney Hill. Oeming will discuss the series, his research process along with writer, James Tynion, and we'll hear about Oeming's other exciting projects both past and present, and why he believes the U.S. Government is getting involved with UFOs once again in a capacity that even outweighs the original Project Blue Book.

On episode 233 of SOMEWHERE IN THE SKIES, we are revisiting one of the most interesting and prolific years in UFO history: 1952. UFOs were being sighted all over the United States, with a concerning wave occurring above Washington D.C, specifically over the nation's Capitol building. Jets were scrambled to try to identify these luminous objects to no avail. Meanwhile, strange saucers and discs were being reported on the other side of the country in California in great numbers. But one of the most underreported events happened to Captain John Harter and his B-29 Bomber crew off the Gulf of Mexico in December of that year. Captured on radar and visually, he and several other pilots and officers would report a swarm of UFOs surrounding their aircraft, with some sort of massive mothership seemingly watching from above. This incident, and several others of 1952 and 1953, would be documented and investigated by Project Blue Book, and also by independent researcher and former Marine Corps Naval Aviator, Major Donald

After Disclosure, mirrors what we are seeing play out in 2021 in relation to possible UFO disclosures. Then, Zabel and Ryan reflect on the 60th anniversary of the Betty and Barney Hill Incident, the 25th anniversary of Zabel's NBC television series, Dark Skies, and Zabel's personal thoughts and theories on the UFO phenomenon. Zabel then takes your listener questions and teases all his upcoming Hollywood projects involving all of what is discussed in this jam-packed episode and beyond. Guest Bio: Bryce Zabel is a winner of the prestigious Writers Guild award for screenwriting.

On episode 231 of SOMEWHERE IN THE SKIES, we are welcomed by former USAF fighter pilot, Lieutenant Colonel Chris Lehto. With over eighteen years of flying, he worked as the Commander of the US Detachment at the Tactical Leadership Programme in Albacete, Spain. As Chief of Flying Branch, he oversaw the execution of three flying courses with no safety incidents. Previous to his final assignment, as Training Systems Assistant Director of Operations for the 56th Training Squadron at Luke Air Force Base, Arizona, he directed the development, procurement, and sustainment of F-16 simulator training. He overseas program officers for two simulator contracts and represents Luke as F-16 training systems subject matter expert. After Lehto saw the Navy UFO videos, it definitely caught his attention. Especially when he noticed that several of them had been debunked. So he decided to debunk the debunkers and use his eighteen years of flying to give us an inside glimpse of what the pilots may have experienced during these dr
