On episode 107 of SOMEWHERE IN THE SKIES, Ryan brings us the incredible story of Herbert Schirmer. On December 3rd, 1967, Schirmer, a twenty-two-year-old police officer, was driving down a desolate highway in Ashland, Nebraska. He approached a pair of lights that he believed to be a stalled vehicle. When he got closer, he realized it wasn't a vehicle on the road, but a craft hovering in the night sky. After a few moments, the craft shot out of sight and the officer returned to his station, noting the sighting in his logbook. But for Schirmer, there seemed to be a period of missing time between when he first saw the object and when he left the area. And when he finally recalled what had happened in those missing moments, the story became far bigger and stranger than first imagined, prompting the Air Force and Government to investigate.Presented in association with the Omaha World-Herald and including actual audio from Schirmer himself, this is the story of the abduction in Ashland. Use Promo code: SKIES for discount tickets to ALIEN CONPatreon: www.patreon.com/somewhereskiesTo watch ROSWELL: MYSTERIES DECODED for free, CLICK HERE Website: www.somewhereintheskies.comYouTube Channel: CLICK HEREOfficial Store: CLICK HEREOrder Ryan's Book by CLICKING HERETwitter: @SomewhereSkiesInstagram: @SomewhereSkiesPodOpening Theme Song, "Ephemeral Reign" by Per KiilstofteSOMEWHERE IN THE SKIES is part of the eOne podcast network.

On episode 101 of SOMEWHERE IN THE SKIES, Ryan welcomes Lance Mungia to the show. Mungia is the director of the recently released documentary, Third Eye Spies For more than 20 years the CIA used psychic abilities in a top-secret program. You paid for it; you deserve to know about it. A psychic spy program developed during the Cold War escalated after a Stanford Research Institute experiment publicized classified intel. As a result, the highly successful work of physicist Russell Targ was co-opted by the CIA and hidden for decades due to the demands of ‘national security.’ But when America’s greatest psychic spy dies mysteriously, Targ fights to get their work declassified; even if it means going directly to his former enemies in the Soviet Union to prove the reality of ESP to the world at large.Mungia runs us through some of the most compelling moments from the documentary, and then he shares, for the very first time, his personal UFO story.Guest Bio: Lance Mungia is an American screenwriter and film director of the film Six-String Samurai and co-writer/director of The Crow: Wicked Prayer for Dimension Films. Mungia also wrote and directed the short film Garden for Rio, produced at Loyola Marymount University, where he attended as a film student.

He was a former field investigator with the Mutual UFO Network, has been featured on multiple podcasts and radio shows, and contributes to Mysterious Universe and RoguePlanet.
