On episode 93 of SOMEWHERE IN THE SKIES, Ryan welcomes author and professor of religious studies, Diana Walsh Pasulka to the show to talk about her new book, American Cosmic: UFOs, Religion, Technology.  More than half of American adults and more than seventy-five percent of young Americans believe in intelligent extraterrestrial life. This level of belief rivals that of belief in God. American Cosmic examines the mechanisms at work behind the thriving belief system in extraterrestrial life, a system that is changing and even supplanting traditional religions. Over the course of a six-year ethnographic study, Pasulka interviewed successful and influential scientists, professionals, and Silicon Valley entrepreneurs who believe in extraterrestrial intelligence, thereby disproving the common misconception that only fringe members of society believe in UFOs. American Cosmic explores the intriguing question of how people interpret unexplainable experiences and argues that the media is replacing religion as a cultu

We talk all about how it came to be, who is involved with this highly enigmatic series, and what to expect as the series and investigation both move forward in the most mysterious of ways. HELLIER is a five-part, cinematic documentary series following an investigation into unsolved mysteries, impossible synchronicities, and a web of high strangeness which stretches from the heart of Appalachian coal country. Driven by a plea for help from a man under supernatural assault, a small crew of paranormal researchers, led by the Traveling Museum of the Paranormal & Occult’s Greg & Dana Newkirk, find themselves in a dying coal town, where a series of strange coincidences leads them to a decades-old mystery with far-reaching implications.

On episode 90 of SOMEWHERE IN THE SKIES, Ryan is joined by both David O'Leary and Sean Jablonski, the creators and showrunner of Project Blue Book, the highly anticipated new television show on the History Channel. Project Blue Book is based on the true, top-secret investigations into Unidentified Flying Objects (UFOs) and related phenomena conducted by the United States Air Force from 1952 to 1969. The investigations were headed by the noted astronomer, J. Allen Hynek. What prompted creator, David O'Leary to pen a script based on the life and career of J. Allen Hynek? What cases did he find most compelling to bring to the mainstream? And just exactly what is up with that alien in the tube that we keep seeing in many of the publicity photos?

On episode 86 of SOMEWHERE IN THE SKIES, Ryan is joined by John Greenewald, the creator and moderator of The Black Vault. The Black Vault is the largest privately run online repository of declassified government documents anywhere in the world. With more than 2 Million pages of documents to read, on nearly every government secret imaginable, The Black Vault is known worldwide for getting down to the truth... and nothing but. Every document in its archive was obtained through the Freedom of Information Act Begun in 1996, at the age of 15, John Greenewald, Jr., began hammering the U.S. Government with FOIA requests to obtain information. The Black Vault is the result of that near two-decade effort. And today, we talk about how it all began, the most important documents he came across pertaining to UFOs, and then we do a deep dive into AATIP, the supposed Secret Pentagon UFO Program, and the critical observations John has come across in relation to the head of the program, Luis Elizondo.

On episode 84 of SOMEWHERE IN THE SKIES, Ryan welcomes back Jeremy Corbell to the show to talk about his latest film, Bob Lazar: Area 51 & Flying Saucers. Bob Lazar remains the singular most famous and controversial name in the world of UFOs. The reason you know about Area 51 is because Lazar came forward and told you about it. His disclosures have turned his life upside-down and he has tried to stay out of the spotlight. For this reason, he has never let any filmmaker into the private world of his daily life - that is - until now. Corbell’s film explores Lazar’s claims through the decades - providing rare and never before revealed footage - guaranteed to alter the landscape of the debate. And today, we cover some of the biggest controversies surrounding the Lazar mythos and Corbell's approach to covering this story, over thirty years in the making. The film will premiere in Los Angeles on December 3rd at the Ace Theater. CLICK HERE for tickets. The film will release worldwide on all streaming platforms. To

On episode 83 of SOMEWHERE IN THE SKIES, we drop you smack dab in the center of AlienCon Baltimore! When Ryan wasn't speaking, moderating panels, and facilitating UFO witness sessions, he was invading the vendor hall and green room to bring a collection of interviews from some of the most notable speakers at this three-day event. You'll hear from many UFO researchers, Ancient Aliens contributors, and even some audio from exclusive panel discussions, including a Q&A with Paul Hynek, son of the acclaimed astronomer, J. Allen Hynek. Guests also include Richard Dolan, Nick Pope, Ramy Romany, Travis Walton, Alejandro Rojas, Karen Brard, Stephen Bassett, Jason McClellan, Dr. David Floyd, and Patrick Harnett. With attendance growing at this event every outing, it is clear that the UFO and alien topics are inching ever closer to the mainstream, and Ryan was fortunate enough to be in the middle of it all. And now, you will too. This is one for the books, so sit back, strap in, and remember, we're not saying it's alien

On episode 81 of SOMEWHERE IN THE SKIES, we return to UFOs in full force with an explosive interview with military veteran, retired police detective, and current UFO investigator, James Clarkson. After lecturing about government secrecy pertaining to UFOs, an elderly woman approached him and told him that she agreed that the government wasn't sharing with the public all they knew about UFOs. Upon asking her how she knew, Clarkson was intrigued by her answer; "Because I worked there..." This is the June Crain story, placed into the context of the history of the UFO phenomenon since WWII. This is a strong indictment of the last official word from the Air Force on Roswell. Tell My Story explains why Roswell and UFOs, in general, are anything but "case closed." Clarkson runs us through some of the more compelling aspects of both June Crain's life and her handling of possible materials from the Roswell UFO incident. We also get the inside scoop on why Clarkson quit MUFON and recently rejoined, and his personal tho

On episode 80 of SOMEWHERE IN THE SKIES, Ryan shares one last listener ghost story from Angela to ring in the Halloween season and the end of the Halloween series of the show. He then speaks with investigative filmmaker, Josh Zeman. Zeman first discusses his film, "Cropsey", a boogeyman-like figure from New York City urban legend, before segueing into the story of one Andre Rand, a convicted child kidnapper from Staten Island. Zeman journies into the underbelly as more information and clues unravel. The reality he uncovers is more terrifying than any urban legend.  Zeman then transitions into a television special he created titled, "Killer Legends", in which he investigates four other deeply disturbing urban legends throughout the country and questions which came first, the urban legend or the real events? What power does storytelling have over us when it comes to reality and fantasy? Do we create the monsters in these legends? Or do they create us? It's a fascinating discussion and the perfect way to count t

On episode 79 of SOMEWHERE IN THE SKIES, we continue our Halloween Series with a listener story we've titled, "The Demon Upstairs." Then we take a haunted history tour of Milwaukee and it's many ghostly tales with this week's special guest, Allison Jornlin. As the leading haunted history researcher and tour guide in all of Milwaukee, Allison runs us through some of the most compelling cases of ghostly activity to come out of this Midwestern city. From the tragic death of a young boy beckoned to a lake by an evil spirit to an entire major league baseball team encountering paranormal activity. We hear about a private organization that educates priests in exorcisms and deliverance and we ask the question; can a ghost leave behind footprints? This and much more as we continue to count down to Halloween!  Guest Bio: Allison Jornlin founded Milwaukee’s first haunted history tour in 2008. When she’s not teaching fourth graders at a local elementary school, she conducts ghost tours in the Third Ward and down Milwau
