Somewhere in the Skies

Nearly fifty years after one of the most famous alien abduction cases in history, Travis Walton joins us to reflect on his extraordinary experience. In 1975, Travis disappeared for five days after a mysterious encounter in the Arizona woods — an event witnessed by six of his coworkers and later dramatized in the Hollywood film Fire in the Sky. Now, half a century later, Travis shares where he stands on that life-altering event, how it shaped his life, and what he believes it means today in the larger UFO conversation. We’re also joined by filmmaker Jennifer Stein, director of the award-winning documentary Travis: The True Story of Travis Walton, who takes us behind the scenes of her research and why this case continues to resonate with believers, skeptics, and UFO investigators around the world. From the beam of light in the forest to the ongoing debates about truth, trauma, and extraterrestrial contact — this is the definitive conversation on the Travis Walton case, fifty years on.

In autumn of 1944, a flying saucer apparently dived down from high altitude and passed over a German anti-aircraft unit based somewhere in Poland. The gunners opened up at this extremely fast moving object with their 88mm and quadruple 20mm Flak guns, but to no effect. What was the object and how was it able to deflect the oncoming artillery?

In this episode, we sit down with filmmaker Adam Finberg, writer and director of the new movie, Star People. Growing up in Phoenix, Finberg shares how the legendary Phoenix Lights Incident of 1997 sparked his fascination with UFOs and influenced his work as a storyteller. He breaks down what each character in Star People represents, humanity’s search for connection, the mystery of otherworldly visitors, and the deeper questions about our origins and destiny. He also takes us behind the scenes of the research and filmmaking process for Star People, from studying UFO experiencers to weaving their stories into a thought-provoking narrative. We dive into his theories on UFOs, why the phenomenon matters today, and how films like Star People challenge us to see the UFO mystery as part of a much bigger human story.

On September 26th, 1954, Lucette Lebouf was picking berries when her dog Dolly started acting up around a strange looking scarecrow. As she went to see what the matter was with the animal, she realized that it was not a scarecrow at all, and that this ‘thing’ was moving towards her.

We are joined by investigative reporter, writer, and podcast creator, Eric Benson. Benson is well-known for his hit podcasts, Project Unabom, Suspect, and Death County, PA. However, he recently dipped his toes into the murky waters of UFOlogy, having embedded himself in a UFO conference recently held at Rice University. In his fascinating long-form article for Baffler, titled, "Loving the Alien: Three Days in the Mirror World of UFOlogy, he describes his experiences at the "UFO and the Impossible" conference, where a diverse mix of scientists, experiencers, and spiritual seekers gathered to explore UFOs (or UAPs) through both empirical and mystical lenses. As Benson will discuss, he found the conference's blend of rigorous science, conspiratorial narratives, and deeply personal testimonies a bit unsettling, but nonetheless, compelling. This is no more apparent than when he meets Nancy, an artist who shared both skepticism and raw vulnerability. We break down the piece and where he stands today on the fascinating community we call "home."Read the article: https://thebaffler.com/latest/loving-the-alien-bensonFind Eric's work at: https://ericbensonwriter.com/Please take a moment to rate and review us on Spotify and Apple.Book Ryan on CAMEO at: https://bit.ly/3kwz3DOPatreon: http://www.patreon.com/somewhereskiesByMeACoffee: http://www.buymeacoffee.com/UFxzyzHOaQPayPal: sprague51@hotmail.comEmail: Ryan.Sprague51@gmail.comDiscord: https://discord.gg/NTkmuwyB4FBluesky: https://bsky.app/profile/ryansprague.bsky.socialTwitter: https://twitter.com/SomewhereSkiesInstagram: https://www.instagram.com/somewhereskiespod/Tik Tok: https://www.tiktok.com/@ryansprague51Order Ryan’s new book: https://a.co/d/4KNQnM4Order Ryan’s older book: https://amzn.to/3PmydYCStore: http://tee.pub/lic/ULZAy7IY12UProud member of SpectreVision Radio: https://www.spectrevision.com/podcastsRead Ryan’s articles at: https://medium.com/@ryan-sprague51Opening Theme Song by SeptembryoCopyright © 2025 Ryan Sprague.
