He works his way through the Close Encounters Classification System to bring us a handful of UFO cases from Africa. From strange lights stalking witnesses to ghost rocket-like craft silently dancing through the skies. From small beings giving a VIP tour of their craft to a man in exchange for some water, and what exactly is a "Dumpy" UFO?

In this special Halloween season bonus episode, Ryan brings us just outside the North of Prague in the Czech Republic, to a 13th century castle with an ominous and extremely dark history. Houska Castle wasn’t near any water, wasn’t strategically important, and didn’t seem to have anyone living in it. So why was this random fortress built? According to local legend, below the stone floors of the castle's chapel, was a dark, seemingly endless pit that was literally a gateway to Hell. Throughout its time, the castle housed poets, Swedish warlords, and perhaps most notably, the Nazi regime. Said to store thousands of books on the occult, the Nazi's were rumored to practice alchemy and occult-like practices for over a decade in Houska Castle. We hear the mysterious history behind this enigmatic castle and its unique design said to have been built not as a fortress to keep danger out, but to keep danger... and demons inside.This episode was researched and written by Jane Palomera Moore.

On episode 235 of SOMEWHERE IN THE SKIES, Ryan joins the Rogue Planet crew in a special panel discussion featuring former USAF Missile Launch Officer, Robert Salas. The panel was hosted by Best-Selling author and radio show host, Peter Robbins. The panel discusses Salas' involvement in the famous Maelstrom Air Force Base Nuclear Missile Incident. On March 24th, 1967, it is alleged that ten of the base's Minuteman ICBMs known as Oscar Flight became inoperative, after UFOs were seen hovering over them. Robert Salas was the Captain in charge at the time. He will also field questions from the panel in relation to his upcoming conference being held at the National Press Club, in Washington D.C. on October 19th, titled, The UFOs and Nukes Connection, which you can Livestream for free on Youtube.Livestream the UFOs and Nukes Press Conference at: https://youtu.be/LTf5-TNASoISubscribe, with discount code: PETER, to KGRA and Meanwhile Here on Earth at: https://kgradb.com/Patreon: www.patreon.com/somewhereskiesWebsite: www.somewhereintheskies.comYouTube Channel: CLICK HEREOfficial Store: CLICK HERESomewhere in the Skies Coffee! https://bit.ly/3mIAq2oOrder Ryan’s book in paperback, ebook, or audiobook by CLICKING HERETwitter: @SomewhereSkiesInstagram: @SomewhereSkiesPodSomewhere in the Skies Subreddit: www.reddit.com/r/SomewhereSkiesPod/Watch Mysteries Decoded for free at www.CWseed.comEpisode edited by Jane Palomera MooreOpening Theme Song, "Ephemeral Reign" by Per KiilstofteSOMEWHERE IN THE SKIES is part of the eOne podcast network.

On episode 234 of SOMEWHERE IN THE SKIES, we welcome Michael Avon Oeming. Oeming is a comic book artist and writer, currently working on a comic book series based on the files of Project Blue Book. "Blue Book" will recreate stories of real UFO encounters in comic book form, based on the true-to-life testimonies of UFO witnesses with the goal of not sensationalizing or editorializing those accounts. The first chapters explore the circumstances surrounding the 1961 abduction of Betty and Barney Hill. Oeming will discuss the series, his research process along with writer, James Tynion, and we'll hear about Oeming's other exciting projects both past and present, and why he believes the U.S. Government is getting involved with UFOs once again in a capacity that even outweighs the original Project Blue Book.Read 'Blue Book' at: http://www.readbluebook.comFollow Michael Oeming on Twitter at: https://twitter.com/OemingPatreon: www.patreon.com/somewhereskiesWebsite: www.somewhereintheskies.comYouTube Channel: CLICK HEREOfficial Store: CLICK HERESomewhere in the Skies Coffee! https://bit.ly/3mIAq2oOrder Ryan’s book in paperback, ebook, or audiobook by CLICKING HERETwitter: @SomewhereSkiesInstagram: @SomewhereSkiesPodSomewhere in the Skies Subreddit: www.reddit.com/r/SomewhereSkiesPod/Watch Mysteries Decoded for free at www.CWseed.comEpisode edited by Jane Palomera MooreOpening Theme Song, "Ephemeral Reign" by Per KiilstofteSOMEWHERE IN THE SKIES is part of the eOne podcast network.

On episode 233 of SOMEWHERE IN THE SKIES, we are revisiting one of the most interesting and prolific years in UFO history: 1952. UFOs were being sighted all over the United States, with a concerning wave occurring above Washington D.C, specifically over the nation's Capitol building. Jets were scrambled to try to identify these luminous objects to no avail. Meanwhile, strange saucers and discs were being reported on the other side of the country in California in great numbers. But one of the most underreported events happened to Captain John Harter and his B-29 Bomber crew off the Gulf of Mexico in December of that year. Captured on radar and visually, he and several other pilots and officers would report a swarm of UFOs surrounding their aircraft, with some sort of massive mothership seemingly watching from above. This incident, and several others of 1952 and 1953, would be documented and investigated by Project Blue Book, and also by independent researcher and former Marine Corps Naval Aviator, Major Donald Keyhoe. We explore these dramatic close encounters and near misses that military aircraft had with these strange objects, how the U.S Government handled the situation, and how it all may be changing as we head in to a new decade of military and governmental acknowledgement and disclosures of UFOs, somewhere in our skies.This episode was co-written and co-researched by Marcus Lowth. It was inspired by his article, The Mothership-Rendezvous Over The Gulf Of Mexico – The B-29 UFO Incident.

On episode 232 of SOMEWHERE IN THE SKIES, Bryce Zabel returns to discuss all the latest UFO news, including the development of a permanent UAP office within the Department of Defense, the scientific endeavors being undertaken by various organizations in relation to UAP, and the stunning accuracy in which Zabel's 2010 book, A.D. After Disclosure, mirrors what we are seeing play out in 2021 in relation to possible UFO disclosures. Then, Zabel and Ryan reflect on the 60th anniversary of the Betty and Barney Hill Incident, the 25th anniversary of Zabel's NBC television series, Dark Skies, and Zabel's personal thoughts and theories on the UFO phenomenon. Zabel then takes your listener questions and teases all his upcoming Hollywood projects involving all of what is discussed in this jam-packed episode and beyond.Guest Bio: Bryce Zabel is a winner of the prestigious Writers Guild award for screenwriting.

On episode 231 of SOMEWHERE IN THE SKIES, we are welcomed by former USAF fighter pilot, Lieutenant Colonel Chris Lehto. With over eighteen years of flying, he worked as the Commander of the US Detachment at the Tactical Leadership Programme in Albacete, Spain. As Chief of Flying Branch, he oversaw the execution of three flying courses with no safety incidents. Previous to his final assignment, as Training Systems Assistant Director of Operations for the 56th Training Squadron at Luke Air Force Base, Arizona, he directed the development, procurement, and sustainment of F-16 simulator training. He overseas program officers for two simulator contracts and represents Luke as F-16 training systems subject matter expert.After Lehto saw the Navy UFO videos, it definitely caught his attention. Especially when he noticed that several of them had been debunked. So he decided to debunk the debunkers and use his eighteen years of flying to give us an inside glimpse of what the pilots may have experienced during these dramatic events. Today, he walks us through some of the more interesting aspects of the Navy UFO videos, his first real-world combat flight, and so much more as we continue our conversation of UFOs in 2021 and beyond.Subscribe to his YouTube Channel at: https://www.youtube.com/c/ChrisLehtoF16VOTE for Somewhere in the Skies in the 2021 Paranormal Podcast Awards! https://bit.ly/3j4ijTgPatreon: www.patreon.com/somewhereskiesWebsite: www.somewhereintheskies.comYouTube Channel: CLICK HEREOfficial Store: CLICK HERESomewhere in the Skies Coffee! https://bit.ly/3mIAq2oOrder Ryan’s book in paperback, ebook, or audiobook by CLICKING HERETwitter: @SomewhereSkiesInstagram: @SomewhereSkiesPodSomewhere in the Skies Subreddit: www.reddit.com/r/SomewhereSkiesPod/Watch Mysteries Decoded for free at www.CWseed.comEpisode edited by Jane Palomera MooreOpening Theme Song, "Ephemeral Reign" by Per KiilstofteSOMEWHERE IN THE SKIES is part of the eOne podcast network.

On episode 229 of SOMEWHERE IN THE SKIES, we are welcomed by noted skeptic, debunker, and one of the most controversial figures who has found himself thrust down the rabbit hole of UFOs... Mick West. West describes how he first got in to debunking when it comes to conspiracy theories and UFOs, why it's important to question everything, his personal thoughts on belief v.s. fact, and the cold hard truths about witness testimony, trained observers, and how we can all work towards clawing our way out of the rabbit hole and in to the future of UFO studies and beyond.Follow Mick West on Twitter: @MickWest Visit his website at: www.metabunk.orgPatreon: www.patreon.com/somewhereskiesWebsite: www.somewhereintheskies.comYouTube Channel: CLICK HEREOfficial Store: CLICK HERESomewhere in the Skies Coffee! https://bit.ly/3mIAq2oOrder Ryan’s book in paperback, ebook, or audiobook by CLICKING HERETwitter: @SomewhereSkiesInstagram: @SomewhereSkiesPodSomewhere in the Skies Subreddit: www.reddit.com/r/SomewhereSkiesPod/Watch Mysteries Decoded for free at www.CWseed.comEpisode edited by Jane Palomera MooreOpening Theme Song, "Ephemeral Reign" by Per KiilstofteSOMEWHERE IN THE SKIES is part of the eOne podcast network.
