On episode 139 of SOMEWHERE IN THE SKIES, we tackle one of the most well-known and well documented UFO events of all time; The Rendlesham Forest UFO incident. Often dubbed "Britain's Roswell", this event took place over three consecutive nights in a forest between two joint military bases in Suffolk, England in December of 1980. Set amongst the backdrop of the Cold War, US Forces were stationed in England in case of a Soviet attack. Unbeknownst to British forces, the US were secretly housing nuclear weapons on the base as well, completely against nuclear treaty at the time. Early during the Christmas holiday, strange lights were witnessed on radar and in person over RAF Bentwaters and RAF Woodbridge. But not only lights... a solid craft was said to have landed in Rendlesham Forest which ran between the joint bases.Officers were sent out to investigate, and what they experienced would become one of the most incredible close encounter UFO stories ever recorded. Backed up by official military documents, audio recordings during the sightings and encounters in the forest, and a developing story up until today, this is the story of Rendlesham.This episode was directly inspired and co-written by an article at wwwtheunredacted.comSelected audio provided by Jeremy Peasley, the National Archives, The Disclosure Project, The Citizens Hearing, Exopolotics Germany, The BBC, and CNN Special Assignments.Patreon: www.patreon.com/somewhereskiesYouTube Channel: CLICK HEREOfficial Store: CLICK HEREOrder Ryan's Book by CLICKING HERETwitter: @SomewhereSkiesInstagram: @SomewhereSkiesPodWatch Mysteries Decoded for free at www.CWseed.comOpening Theme Song, "Ephemeral Reign" by Per KiilstofteSOMEWHERE IN THE SKIES is part of the eOne podcast network.

On episode 138 of SOMEWHERE IN THE SKIES, Ryan is joined by Greg Newkirk and Connor J. Randall, members of the investigative team and executive producers of HELLIER an independent paranormal documentary series. They discuss the highly anticipated second season that digs deeper in to the mysteries surrounding Hellier and beyond.In 2012, Greg Newkirk received an email from a man calling himself David Christie, who claimed that he and his family were being terrorized by unearthly creatures by night. After exchanging emails, David disappeared. For the next five years, the case only got stranger, as more connections and mysterious emails came in. Then, in 2017, Greg and a team of researchers traveled to rural Kentucky, not knowing what they would uncover, or how deep they would discover the case might go.​But the Hellier project didn't stop there. Despite spending hundreds of hours in the editing bay and releasing season one to much acclaim in January of 2019, the team continued to research and explore, and the case only blossomed. After thousands of miles of driving, months of research and filming, Hellier now returns in November 2019 with a full second season run, comprised of ten full-length episodes.To learn more, visit: www.Hellier.tvPatreon: www.patreon.com/somewhereskiesYouTube Channel: CLICK HEREOfficial Store: CLICK HEREOrder Ryan's Book by CLICKING HERETwitter: @SomewhereSkiesInstagram: @SomewhereSkiesPodWatch Mysteries Decoded for free at www.CWseed.comOpening Theme Song, "Ephemeral Reign" by Per KiilstofteSOMEWHERE IN THE SKIES is part of the eOne podcast network.
