Buried deep within the declassified Project Blue Book files lies a mysterious UFO case known only as “Incident 88.” What really happened, and why has this extraordinary case remained largely forgotten? In this classic episode, we welcome The Debrief contributing writer, the late Jazz Shaw, to uncover the startling details of his investigation, including his search for an elusive eyewitness who may hold the key to the mystery. We then revisit the remarkable 1994 Lake Michigan UFO sightings, exploring new evidence and a possible explanation for one of the most compelling and credible UFO encounters in American history.

In the middle of the night, he spotted a strange, luminous humanoid entity which took off in a flying saucer.

Ryan takes a deep dive into Out of the Shadows, the new book from former Pentagon UFO investigator, Jay Stratton. From alleged recovered alien spacecraft and non-human bodies to secret reverse-engineering programs, encounters with extraterrestrial beings, and government cover-ups, Stratton makes some extraordinary claims. But does he provide the evidence to back them up, or does his book raise more questions than answers? We also examine new developments surrounding the alleged UFO luring operation at White Sands Missile Range, including claims of mysterious orbs and unreleased military footage. Plus, a former Army sniper shares a shocking story of U.S. soldiers allegedly battling reptilian beings near Area 51. Could these claims connect to David Grusch's recent revelations? We also pay tribute to Mario Woods, a former U.S. Air Force nuclear security officer, UFO witness, and past guest of the show, who sadly passed away this week.

Legendary UFO researcher and author Jacques Vallee returns to discuss his latest book, Forbidden Science 7: The Final Report, and the future of UFO research. Together, he and Ryan explore the realities of UFO disclosure, Vallee's ongoing analysis of mysterious materials with Dr. Garry Nolan, and the possible connections between consciousness and non-human intelligence. He also revisits the controversial Trinity UFO crash, the possibility that certain UFO crashes were deliberate, and why government revelations may raise more questions than answers. After more than six decades investigating the unexplained, Vallée reflects on his remarkable career, the mysteries that remain, and why the next generation of researchers may need to rethink everything they believe about UFOs.

In this episode of Somewhere in the Skies Classics, Ryan speaks with Brian Bethel, the man behind one of the earliest and most chilling accounts of the Black-Eyed Kids. In 1996, Bethel was sitting alone in his car in Abilene, Texas, when two young boys approached asking for a ride. Something about them filled him with overwhelming fear, then he saw their completely black eyes. Bethel recounts the terrifying encounter, how his story spread across the early internet and helped ignite the BEK phenomenon, and what he believes may lurk behind those dark, soulless eyes.

From a mysterious craft discovered deep in the jungles of Vietnam and soldiers opening fire on a UFO in Iraq, to 90 minutes of missing time and the shocking recovery of an alleged alien body at a U.S. Air Force base.

We are joined by author and researcher, Peter Robbins, to investigate the mysterious death of James Forrestal, America's first Secretary of Defense. On May 22nd, 1949, Forrestal plunged from the sixteenth floor of Bethesda Naval Hospital, sparking decades of controversy and conspiracy theories. With alleged ties to Majestic 12, a rumored secret government group investigating crashed UFOs, questions remain. Did Forrestal know too much about UFOs and extraterrestrial technology? Was his death a tragic suicide, or was something far more sinister at play?

In October 1973, a woman living near Cincinnati, Ohio, awoke in the middle of the night to a brilliant light shining through her bedroom window. Looking outside, she witnessed several glowing UFOs hovering silently above her front lawn. Then, standing beyond the mysterious craft, she saw something even more unsettling. It was a tall humanoid figure watching from the darkness. One of Ohio's most chilling UFO encounters, this little-known case continues to raise questions more than 50 years later.

In this episode of Somewhere in the Skies, Ryan is joined by active UK police officer Inspector Roy Teague, author of Close Encounters of the Police Kind. Drawing on nearly 27 years in policing, Teague has interviewed more than 300 current and former officers about their encounters with UFOs and other unexplained phenomena. His new book collects 75 of the most compelling cases, many told publicly for the first time. Teague takes us inside extraordinary reports involving police helicopters encountering mysterious craft over London, officers pursuing, and being pursued by UFOs, massive black triangles, missing time, alleged abductions, and even a possible implant discovered behind an officer’s eye. He also discusses the stigma officers still face when reporting UFOs, the lack of formal UAP reporting protocols within UK policing, patterns he has uncovered across decades of testimony, and why he believes these witnesses deserve to be heard. We explore Teague’s approach to investigating these accounts, what police training can bring to UFO testimony, and how compiling hundreds of reports has transformed his own view of the phenomenon.

In this episode of Somewhere in the Skies Classics, we revisit one of the most compelling and well-documented UFO cases in Canadian history: the Shag Harbour UFO Incident. On the night of October 4, 1967, residents along the coast of Nova Scotia watched a mysterious object descend toward the waters near Shag Harbour and seemingly disappear beneath the surface. What followed was an official search-and-rescue operation, military involvement, eyewitness testimony, and a paper trail that would help cement the incident as one of the most intriguing UFO mysteries ever investigated by the Canadian government.
