Zelia Edgar brings us back to September of 1954. On a quiet farm in Alabama, 12-year-old John Jacob Swaim was running a tractor across his family’s fields when something caught his eye. Standing in the wheat was a small, unnerving figure — a strange entity with pointed ears and a sharp nose, crouched down, silently watching him. In this episode, we explore one of the most chilling and overlooked encounters of the 1950s UFO wave. Was Swaim’s “Watcher in the Wheat” an alien, a folkloric trickster, or something far stranger? Join us as we peel back the layers of this eerie case and examine how it fits into the larger history of high-strangeness encounters. If you enjoy stories of UFOs, close encounters, and strange beings in unexpected places, this episode is one you won’t want to miss.

It’s a crossover you don’t want to miss! In this special episode, Somewhere in the Skies teams up with Gods, Ghosts, and UFOs for a wide-ranging conversation on UFOs, cryptids, and the unexplained. From Ryan’s dramatic black triangle UFO sighting as a kid, to the latest UAP Congressional Hearing and the controversial Hellfire missile video, we explore the mysteries that continue to challenge our understanding of reality. Along the way, we dive into folklore like the Squonk and the invented legend of the Bog Squatch, asking what happens when myths and mysteries blur together. At the heart of it all, we reflect on disclosure, witness testimony, and why sometimes the most powerful thing we can do is live with the mystery. ⏱️ Episode Timestamps 00:00 Intro & crossover setup03:07 Meet the hosts & Ryan Sprague04:30 Ryan’s journey into UFO research06:13 The 1995 triangle UFO sighting10:34 Birth of Anomacon conference12:11 Cryptid spotlight: The Squonk19:51 Creating the Bog Squatch24:14 UAP hearing & Hellfire missile video32:56 The three orbs mystery34:59 Disclosure, defense & secrecy36:34 Witness testimonies & triangles40:15 Black triangles worldwide42:06 Why triangles want to be seen44:59 Triangles & abduction reports47:25 Ryan’s father breaks his silence49:27 The human side of UFO encounters50:26 Coping with UFO uncertainty52:33 The illusion of government disclosure54:18 Personal disclosure & living in the mystery55:39 Why the journey matters most57:52 Closing reflections & outro Subscribe to Gods, Ghosts, and UFOs: https://open.spotify.com/show/2rng747nSCoPZtMnRtPRC8?si=6c5c97f2d7fb407d Please take a moment to rate and review us on Spotify and Apple.

In June of 1952, a young man was walking home from a movie late at night. Suddenly, he heard weird music and singing on the other side of a creek. As he looked to see who was producing these strange melodies, his attention was captured by a series of bright lights on the ground. What happened next would shock him beyond belief.
