Somewhere in the Skies

What if the biggest UFO secrets in history were hiding in plain sight inside government computers? In this episode, we dive into the astonishing true stories of two hackers who risked everything to uncover classified UFO information. From British hacker Gary McKinnon infiltrating NASA and Pentagon networks in search of suppressed technologies to Matthew Bevan’s earlier breach of U.S. Air Force systems while hunting for evidence of anti-gravity propulsion and the legendary Hangar 18, their digital intrusions exposed shocking vulnerabilities in military cybersecurity and ignited international controversy.

But these weren’t ordinary cybercrimes. Their pursuit of UFO...

In 1960, no less than a dozen people would witness a UFO hovering over a mountain outside of Durango, Colorado. In the area, dogs vanished and were afflicted by a mystery. Did the UFO attack them? Was it due to the paranormal occurrences in the area?

Ryan starts by sharing his visit to the Ibaraki Prefecture in Japan, the alleged landing site of the 1803 Utsuro-Bune UFO legend. Then he and Suzanne dive straight into the news: Dr. Steven Greer’s claim that at least two massive UFOs are so large buildings were constructed around them, including what he says was a SCIF! From there, we get into the biggest headline of the week: President Donald Trump’s directive to release UFO and alien-related government files, his comments about Barack Obama, and the growing speculation about a possible larger announcement. We’ll break down responses from Congre...

Yami Gonzalez shares family lore, Susan Slaughter of Ghost Hunters International recounts her investigations, and Jo...

Three glowing, winged beings. A quiet English home. And six missing mince pies. Zelia Edgar explores the 1979 encounter of Jean Hingley, who reported that three small luminous entities floated into her home after an orange glow filled her garden, assuring her, “We will not harm you.” The beings examined her Christmas tree, discussed Jesus, requested water, and departed in a strange hovering craft, allegedly leaving trace evidence and electrical disturbances behind. Was this a UFO encounter, a modern fairy visitation, or something that blurs the line between folklore, religion, and high strangeness?

Drawing from their experience creating the NBC series, Dark Skies, the duo recount a chilling encounter with an alleged Naval Intelligence insider who proposed incorporating real UFO truths into their show as part of a “slow-drip” disclosure strategy. With Steven Spielberg’s upcoming UFO film Disclosure Day and renewed public interest sparked by congressional hearings, Zabel and Friedman explore whether Hollywood has been subtly preparing us for the re...

Zelia Edgar dives into one of the most chilling and consequential UFO cases in U.S. history: the 1967 Malmstrom Air Force Base missile shutdown. As strange aerial objects maneuvered above nuclear missile sites in Montana, ten Minuteman ICBMs suddenly went offline, an event witnessed by trained Air Force personnel and later echoed at a nearby launch facility. Zelia explores the eyewitness accounts, official records, electromagnetic anomalies, and the broader UFO flap that gripped the region, raising unsettling questions about the relationship between UFOs and nuclear weapons.

Long before the modern UFO era, settlers, cowboys, soldiers, and newspapers across the American frontier were reporting strange lights, mysterious craft, and even non-human beings in the skies.

In this compelling volume of Witness Accounts, Somewhere in the Skies presents three firsthand UFO encounters spanning 1977 to 1995, each told directly by the experiencers. An aviation-savvy witness in Port Glasgow, Scotland describes two silent, elongated triangular craft flying in precise formation over the River Clyde, while a teenager in Saratoga, California recalls a low-hovering circular object with shifting lights, later echoed by local newspaper reports of repeated sightings. The episode culminates in a deeply unsettling Florida Everglades encounter, where glowing eyes in the swamp are followed by a massive humming, smoke-like object that appears to teleport across the sky...

As the world reacts to the long awaited Stranger Things series finale, Ryan speaks with filmmaker Chris Garetano about the chilling real world legends that helped inspire the show, the Montauk Project at Camp Hero.

Drive-in movie theaters were designed for escapism, but for hundreds of unsuspecting witnesses across the United States, they became front-row seats to the truly unexplained. In this episode, we explore eight remarkable UFO encounters that unfolded beneath glowing movie screens and open night skies, from silent metallic discs hovering behind projection screens in the 1950s to massive triangular craft drifting over packed lots in the 1990s, revealing how ordinary movie nights transformed into moments of collective awe, fear, and wonder. These are 8 cases that prove that the real spectacle wasn’t on the screen, but hovering silently above it.

In August of 1967, two teenagers in Kolmården, Sweden encountered eerie red and white lights, strange sounds, and a non-human humanoid near an abandoned cabin. Zelia Edgar examines how this chilling case blurs the lines between UFO encounters, cryptids, folklore, and hauntings, exploring theories from John Keel to classic monster reports. A haunting example of high strangeness that defies easy explanation!

In 1974, in the woods near Jacksonville, Florida, the Betz family stumbled upon a mysterious metal sphere that seemed to move on its own and defy explanation.

In this audio documentary, we revisit the reports, investigations, and unsettling events that followed the discovery of the Betz Sphere, before the object quietly disappeared from public view for nearly fifty years.

In this episode, we dive into one of the most famous UFO cases ever recorded: the Rendlesham Forest incident. Known as “Britain’s Roswell,” the event unfolded over three nights in December 1980 between the twin U.S.–U.K. bases at RAF Bentwaters and RAF Woodbridge. With Cold War tensions high and American nuclear weapons secretly stored on-site, security personnel witnessed strange lights on radar and in the forest, followed by reports of a landed craft. Backed by official documents, on-the-ground audio recordings, and decades of ongoing testimony, we break down the encounters that cemented Rendlesham as a cornerstone of UFO h...
