Somewhere in the Skies

On episode 329 of SOMEWHERE IN THE SKIES. Ryan is joined by former NYPD police officer, Dr. Keith Taylor. Taylor's professional experience includes twenty-five years in public service, starting with the NYPD and retiring as an assistant commissioner for the New York City Correction Department. He is currently a professor at John Jay College of Criminal Justice. But he also has an interest in UFOs and recently attended the House Oversight UFO Hearing in Washington, D.C. We get an inside look at what went down at the hearing, Taylor's thoughts and theories on what was brought forward, and what happens next. He then explains how law enforcement can become a centralized and integral part of UFO reporting, data collection, and even investigation. As we navigate what a "post disclosure world" may look like, how will policy and law play into all of this?Follow Dr. Keith Taylor on Twitter at: https://twitter.com/DrKeithLTaylorLearn more about UAPmed at: https://uapmed.org/Learn more about UAP-PD at: https://www.uap-pd.com/Join us at ANOMACON 2023: www.anomacon.comOrder Ryan’s new book: https://a.co/d/4KNQnM4Patreon: www.patreon.com/somewhereskiesWebsite: www.somewhereintheskies.comYouTube Channel: CLICK HEREBook your Cameo video with Ryan at: https://bit.ly/3kwz3DOOfficial Store: CLICK HEREBuy Somewhere in the Skies coffee: https://bit.ly/3rmXuapOrder Ryan’s older book: https://amzn.to/3PmydYCEmail Ryan directly at: Ryan.Sprague51@gmail.comTik Tok: https://www.tiktok.com/@ryansprague51Twitter: @SomewhereSkiesInstagram: @SomewhereSkiesPodRead Ryan’s Articles by CLICKING HEREOpening Theme Song, "Ephemeral Reign" by Per KiilstofteCopyright © 2023 Ryan Sprague.

On episode 326 of SOMEWHERE IN THE SKIES, Ryan heads to London for a very special one-on-one interview with actor, comedian, and writer, Michael Ian Black. Black is best known for being an original member of MTV's sketch comedy show, The State. He was also featured on Comedy Central's Stella, Viva Variety, and Reno 911. He also starred in the entire Wet Hot American Summer franchise and has traveled the world doing stand-up comedy. He's hosted several podcasts and has published numerous books. But recently, he's started writing extensively about UFOs on his Substack. So naturally, Ryan had to take advantage of Black's sabbatical in London. They talk about Black's personal UFO sighting, why his interest in the topic has re-emerged, and his thoughts on all the latest UFO revelations. It's a cosmic conversation with the OG M.I.B...

On episode 323 of SOMEWHERE IN THE SKIES, we welcome back Mike Damante to discuss his new book, Above the Fold and the Fringe: How UAPs Became Mainstream News, which goes behind the scenes of the infamous 2017 New York Times article and examines the history of UAPs in news media. Damante also explores the significant impact these stories have had on the public. 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."Buy the book here: https://a.co/d/5JG6empOrder Ryan’s new book: https://a.co/d/4KNQnM4Patreon: www.patreon.com/somewhereskiesWebsite: www.somewhereintheskies.comYouTube Channel: CLICK HEREBook your Cameo video with Ryan at: https://bit.ly/3kwz3DOOfficial Store: CLICK HEREBuy Somewhere in the Skies coffee!

On episode 322 of SOMEWHERE IN THE SKIES, we are joined by Frank Kimbler, a geologist and professor at the New Mexico Military Institute. Over the past decade, Kimbler has dedicated himself to finding physical evidence left behind by whatever crashed just outside Roswell in 1947. Upon triangulating what he believes was the direct impact site, he has found, over the years, more than twenty metallic fragments. Those fragments have been analyzed and tested by various laboratories throughout the years, some of which, carried out with the help of Ryan. Today, Kimbler shares the dramatic history of his findings, the intriguing results of various tests, and exciting news about new metals found out at the site. Order Ryan’s new book: https://a.co/d/4KNQnM4Patreon: www.patreon.com/somewhereskiesWebsite: www.somewhereintheskies.comYouTube Channel: CLICK HEREBook your Cameo video with Ryan at: https://bit.ly/3kwz3DOOfficial Store: CLICK HEREOrder Ryan’s older book: https://amzn.to/3PmydYCEmail Ryan directly at: Ryan.Sprague51@gmail.comTik Tok: https://www.tiktok.com/@ryansprague51Twitter: @SomewhereSkiesInstagram: @SomewhereSkiesPodRead Ryan’s Articles by CLICKING HEREOpening Theme Song, "Ephemeral Reign" by Per KiilstofteCopyright © 2023 Ryan Sprague.

On episode 320 of SOMEWHERE IN THE SKIES, we travel to the small city of Winchester, England, to hear the incredible story of Joyce Bowles. In November of 1976, she and a friend were on the road, heading home. But then they witnessed something in the sky that soon descended directly in front of them. The story Joyce would tell of what happened that night would makes its way across the airwaves of BBC news not long after. And this would only be the beginning of a series of close encounters by Joyce and several other witnesses in the surrounding areas of Winchester.Research conducted by Marcus Lowth.
