On episode 163 of SOMEWHERE IN THE SKIES, Nick Redfern returns to discuss his latest book, The Rendlesham Forest UFO Conspiracy: A Close Encounter Exposed as a Top Secret Government Experiment. In the final days of December 1980, strange encounters and bizarre incidents occurred in the heart of Rendlesham Forest, Suffolk, England. Based upon their personal encounters, many of the military personnel who were present at the time believed that something extraterrestrial came down in those dark woods. What if, however, there was another explanation for what happened four decades ago? What if that explanation, if revealed, proved to be even more controversial than the theory that aliens arrived from a faraway world? The ramifications for the field of Ufology would be immense. In his new, sensational book, Nick Redfern reveals that one of the most famous UFO cases of all time was really a series of top secret experiments using holograms, mind-control programs, deception, disinformation, conspiracies and cover-ups. The shocking truth of a forty-year-old mystery is now revealed. Guest Bio: Nick Redfern is the author of more than 60 books. They include Flying Saucers from the Kremlin; The Roswell UFO Conspiracy; Women in Black; Men in Black; Nessie; Chupacabra Road Trip; The Black Diary; and 365 Days of UFOs. Nick has appeared on many TV shows, including the National Geographic Channel’s Paranatural; the SyFy Channel’s Proof Positive; and the Travel Channel’s In Search of Monsters.

On episode 162 of SOMEWHERE IN THE SKIES, we welcome Patrick to the show to recount some of the strange and surreal stories of a lifetime with the unknown. First, Patrick and a friend find themselves lost with an unstable conspiracy theorist in the backcountry of Northern Montana in the winter of 1996. With all bets off, the two boys are forced to follow the bizarre man to safety, but not before he shows them an enormous UFO flying directly overhead, which shatters their reality and casts doubt that the strange guide may be telling the truth after all. And then, along the banks of a small river in New Jersey, a fisherman and his brother come face to face with an unimaginable entity. Two years later along this same stretch of river, Patrick watches up close as an extraordinary object hovers in the forest, sending wildlife scattering in all directions, before shooting skyward through the trees and disappearing into the heavens. And lastly, several strange encounters leave Patrick mystified at a place known by locals as Ghost Lake.

On episode 161 of SOMEWHERE IN THE SKIES, the Time Lord himself, Micah Hanks, returns to guide us through time and space back to the age of antiquity to speculate what UFOs looked like, or how they were perceived throughout the ages. Tracing aerial phenomena in ancient times, the middle ages, up through the modern era and today, we hear the incredible ways that Hanks and other UFO researchers are using modern-day technology to investigate aerial phenomena of centuries past. From cosmic anchors being dropped by celestial airships to luminous crosses, shields, and yes... even saucers being recorded throughout time in our skies. Are these truly visitors from beyond or a gradual myth in the making?

On episode 158 of SOMEWHERE IN THE SKIES, we head down to the dark and dingy basement office of NY Post journalist, Steven Greenstreet. After the bombshell news of a secret Pentagon UFO program was released to the world, news outlets scurried to play catch-up on this highly intriguing news. Luckily, the NY Post had Steven Greenstreet on hand who had a keen interest in the UFO topic. Thus, The Basement Office web-series was created. Along with Nick Pope, a former government official who researched and investigated UFOs for the Ministry of Defense, Greenstreet and Pope navigate their way through decades of UFO history to get us to where we are now in 2020 on the issue. In this interview, Greenstreet discusses what he found most fascinating in his research. He then breaks down two very compelling UFO videos he and Ryan came across, and then we get a sneak peek and what to expect in season two of the Basement Office.To watch the entire first season of the Basement Office, CLICK HEREWatch the video version of this episode HEREWebsite: www.somewhereintheskies.comPatreon: 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.comSOMEWHERE IN THE SKIES is edited by Jane Palomera MooreOpening Theme Song, "Ephemeral Reign" by Per KiilstofteSOMEWHERE IN THE SKIES is part of the eOne podcast network.
