Military Witnesses: The Tic Tac and Gimbal Incidents
12/07/2025 Duration: 02h06minContinuing our coverage of the Tic Tac UFO incident, due to the recent bold claims by Ross Coulthart that have sparked major controversy in the UFO community, we bring you another interview from the archives where we spoke with several witnesses of both the Tic Tac and the Gimbal incidents. Gary Voorhis and Jason Turner describe the dramatic string of events that would ultimately lead to fighter jets being scrambled to intercept the mysterious, oblong-shaped object we've seen in the official Navy video released by the Department of Defense. Then, Matthew Roberts discusses the atmosphere on the USS Theodore Roosevelt when the other two DoD-released videos were filmed and how it was handled in real-time. More importantly, we discuss the impact these events have had on these men during and after, and how it has ultimately led to all three of them continuing to search for answers both in the skies, and from within. My special thanks to Gary Voorhis, Jason Turner, and Matthew Roberts for their service and for thei

11/07/2025 Duration: 32minIn 1959, a 325th Bomb Squadron B-52, one carrying live thermonuclear bombs, was followed across Canada by a UFO. The object was tracked on radar and sighted visually.

The Pentagon and UFOs: Operators of Deception (w/ Micah Hanks)
29/06/2025 Duration: 01h06minWith proclaimed "bombshell" articles recently released by the Wall Street Journal, it came to light, through an investigation by the Department of Defense's UFO office, AARO, that the United States Air Force, had up until 2023, allegedly faked UFO programs, photos, and videos as a "hazing ritual" for military personnel and to mask top secret programs concerning highly advanced man-made weapons and technology. However, these claims by past AARO directors are nothing new. And today's guest had reported on this almost ten months ago on his podcast. But why is this information being made public now? Does it account for all UFOs or even for the claims brought forward by "UFO Whistleblowers" in recent years? We discuss all of this in-depth with the founder and editor-in-chief of the Debrief, Micah Hanks.

OMNIBUS 01 | Nick Redfern: Roswell, Rendlesham & Russia
27/06/2025 Duration: 03h35minWe've been going for over 400 episodes now with the main episodes of Somewhere in the Skies. Some of you have been here from the very beginning. Some met us halfway, and some are brand new. So I'm taking a page from the book of That UFO Podcast with our good friend, Andy McGrillen. And I've decided to do some Omnibus episodes that feature collected interviews with a singular return guest or themed collections. I thought this would be a good way to introduce new listeners to some of our fan-favorites and for a walk down memory lane for the veteran Somewhere in the Skies listeners out there. Today, you'll hear 3 different interviews we conducted with prolific author, Nick Redfern. You'll first hear his controversial research on what the Roswell UFO crash may have actually been. We then move to his equally controversial research on the Rendlesham Forest UFO incident. And then we end with a fascinating in-person interview where Nick discusses UFOs and the Kremlin.

Calling All Earthlings: The Incredible True Story of George Van Tassel
09/06/2025 Duration: 01h34sRyan speaks with documentary filmmaker, Jonathan Berman, about his film, Calling All Earthlings, based on the life and work of George Van Tassel. In 1947, George Van Tassel, a Howard Hughes employee and confidante, suddenly quits working for his mentor and ditches the straight life, moving deep into the Mojave Desert where he and his family sleep under a rock. He leaves behind a tattered Los Angeles in the grips of postwar paranoia, opting for the quietude of the Joshua Tree area. It is during an August 1953 full moon that Van Tassel has an encounter with extraterrestrials, who give him the information to build a rejuvenation machine he dubs “The Integratron.” Is Van Tassel crazy or could the Integratron really work? FBI agents try to halt the army of eccentrics who gather in the desert to create a collective, possibly threatening reality on the edge of the American Dream. A gentle inquiry into alternative culture, the story is told by the current residents of the Joshua Tree area, who must defend against ram

Abduction in Ashland: The Herbert Schirmer Story
02/06/2025 Duration: 31minRyan tells 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.
