Rhys Darby: Aliens Like Us

Season 1, Ep. 178

On episode 178 of SOMEWHERE IN THE SKIES, Ryan sits down with one of his personal heroes, Rhys Darby! Many probably know him from his roles in film and television, such as Flight of the Conchords, What We Do in the Shadows, the Jumanji reboots, and of course... The X-Files! But what some may not know is that Darby is also a huge UFO enthusiast, even hosting a podcast all about UFOs and aliens! On the heels of exciting news about the potential for microbial life on Venus, Ryan and Rhys discuss all-things UFOs, some of the amazing guests he's had on the Aliens Like Us podcast, his time in the New Zealand Army, and then he answers your listener questions. And of course we talk all about his guest-starring role on the X-Files. This and so much more in a jam-packed episode of cosmic proportions!

  • 409. The Saucerian: UFOs, Men in Black and the Unbelievable Life of Gray Barker

    01:05:02||Season 1, Ep. 409
    On episode 409, we are joined by librarian, author, and cultural historian, Gabriel McKee, to discuss his new book about the life of the ever-enigmatic Gray Barker. Barker founded and operated Saucerian Books, an independent publisher of books about flying saucers and other ideas at the fringes of popular discourse. In The Saucerian, Gabriel Mckee tells the fascinating story of Barker’s West Virginia–based press, the unique corpus of materials it published, and how office-copying and self-publishing techniques influenced the spread of paranormal beliefs and conspiratorial worldviews over the last century. Following the development of UFO subculture, Mckee explores the life and career of a larger-than-life hoaxer and originator of pseudoscientific ideas.Purchase the book at: https://a.co/d/acfi5b2Please take a moment to rate and review us on Spotify and Apple.Book Ryan on CAMEO at: https://bit.ly/3kwz3DOPatreon: http://www.patreon.com/somewhereskiesByMeACoffee: http://www.buymeacoffee.com/UFxzyzHOaQPayPal: Sprague51@hotmail.comDiscord: https://discord.gg/NTkmuwyB4FBluesky: https://bsky.app/profile/ryansprague.bsky.socialTwitter: https://twitter.com/SomewhereSkiesInstagram: https://www.instagram.com/somewhereskiespod/Tik Tok: https://www.tiktok.com/@ryansprague51Order Ryan’s new book: https://a.co/d/4KNQnM4Order Ryan’s older book: https://amzn.to/3PmydYCStore: http://tee.pub/lic/ULZAy7IY12URead Ryan’s articles at: https://medium.com/@ryan-sprague51Opening Theme Song by SeptembryoCopyright © 2025 Ryan Sprague.

  • Bite-Sized UFOs | A Peruvian Airliner UFO Chase

    07:19||Season 1
    In February 1967, the crew of a Faucett Airlines DC-4 reported being buzzed for an extended period of time by a UFO shaped like an inverted cone while on an evening flight from Piura to Lima. Shortly after the UFO departed, it momentarily returned with a second, identical object and proceeded to buzz the airliner again before vanishing for good. Military authorities questioned the crew and passengers, apparently confiscating photos taken of the object.Subscribe to Bite Sized UFOs on YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/@bitesizedufosBook Ryan on CAMEO at: https://bit.ly/3kwz3DOPatreon: http://www.patreon.com/somewhereskiesByMeACoffee: http://www.buymeacoffee.com/UFxzyzHOaQPayPal: Sprague51@hotmail.comDiscord: https://discord.gg/NTkmuwyB4FBluesky: https://bsky.app/profile/ryansprague.bsky.socialTwitter: https://twitter.com/SomewhereSkiesInstagram: https://www.instagram.com/somewhereskiespod/Tik Tok: https://www.tiktok.com/@ryansprague51Order Ryan’s new book: https://a.co/d/4KNQnM4Order Ryan’s older book: https://amzn.to/3PmydYCStore: http://tee.pub/lic/ULZAy7IY12URead Ryan’s articles at: https://medium.com/@ryan-sprague51Opening Theme Song by SeptembryoCopyright © 2025 Ryan Sprague.
