Somewhere In The Skies

In this episode of Just Another Tin Foil Hat with Zelia Edgar, we uncover one of the most extraordinary UFO cases in Midwestern history. On a quiet night in Elmwood, Wisconsin, police officer George Wheeler was on routine patrol when something incredible interrupted the calm. Spotting an orange glow near the Tuttle Hill quarry, Wheeler assumed it was a fire — until he got closer. What he saw would shake him to his core. As he reached higher ground, his voice crackled over the radio with a chilling message: “My God, it’s one of those UFOs again.” This episode dives deep into the 1976 Elmwood UFO incident — a case that baffled law enforcement, captivated local residents, and left behind strange physical evidence that remains unexplained to this day. From Wheeler’s first sighting to the aftermath that turned Elmwood into a UFO hotspot, Zelia explores how one man’s encounter helped shape Wisconsin’s lasting fascination with the unknown.

Retired U.S. Army Colonel Karl Nell — a key figure in the Pentagon’s UAP research efforts — recently made waves by declaring that UAP disclosure is dead. In this episode, Ryan Sprague unpacks Nell’s remarks through his essay “Frankenstein and Flying Saucers” from the acclaimed book UFOs: Reframing the Debate (edited by Robbie Graham). Drawing on the insights of Carl Jung, Jacques Vallée, Jenny Randles, David Clarke, and Greg Bishop, Ryan explores how our understanding of UFOs mirrors Frankenstein’s creation — a reflection of humanity’s fears, desires, and need to define the unknown. This thought-provoking discussion challenges the “extraterrestrial” assumption and asks: could the truth behind UFOs lie not in the stars, but within ourselves?

Zelia Edgar brings us back to 1973 for yet another truly bizarre retro UFO incident. October 22nd, 1973 at around 10pm, a couple driving with their baby suddenly spotted what they thought were children playing on a dark rural road. But as their headlights hit the figures, they realized these were no children. Instead, they encountered bizarre, silver-suited beings moving in strange, hopping motions across the road. Who were the “Slo-Mo Silver Saucerians”? Were they extraterrestrials, misidentified figures, or something far stranger?

Was it a drone, a secret test vehicle, or something far stranger? Then, former Pentagon insider Christopher Mellon calls out the government for illegally hiding UFO files, and a new military witness, Daniel Gockerell, details his jaw-dropping 2006 sighting of a massive triangular craft over Eglin Air Force Base.

Zelia Edgar brings us back to September of 1954. On a quiet farm in Alabama, 12-year-old John Jacob Swaim was running a tractor across his family’s fields when something caught his eye.
