Somewhere In The Skies

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. As tragic as this was, how each body was found, and several pieces of evidence that would be discovered, left many more questions than answers as to what happened and why. We break down the timeline, string of possible events, and numerous theories as to what may have happened to the Dyatlov nine that fateful night. This episode is dedicated to the memory of the Dyatlov crew, including Yuri Yudin

On episode 134 of SOMEWHERE IN THE SKIES, we hear from four witnesses who had UFO or close encounter experiences dropped in to their laps that changed them forever.

A mother reads us a letter from her daughter who had her life changed over night with a singular UFO experience. And a trio of sightings leaves one former police officer on a lifelong journey to find answers. It's all here and all told from the mouthes of those who experienced it. This is another very personal and powerful volume of witness accounts.  Special thanks to those who contributed their stories to this episode.

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. A story of working at S-4, a location miles away from Area 51. There, he says he was hired to help reverse-engineer alien tech
