Steve Berg: High Strange Encounters

Season 1, Ep. 354
•

This episode is in Loving Memory of Ryan's mother, Susan Sprague, who passed away on May 3rd. She was one of our biggest fans and supporters and we will miss her dearly. Read full obituary, written by Ryan, and where donations can be made to Sue's favorite charities: https://rebrand.ly/6fq0xke


On episode 354 of SOMEWHERE IN THE SKIES, Steve Berg returns to give his fascinating solo presentation from Anomacon 2023, titled, The Weird Stuff: The Role of Absurdity and Surrealism in High Strange Encounters. In this presentation, Berg explains that when it comes to encounters with UFO occupants and cryptids, the cases most commonly used as examples for the strongest evidence are the ones that fit into the framework most easily with our sense of reality, often leaving out the really weird cases. But what if the weirdness was part of the point? Using encounter cases throughout history and focusing on the absurd qualities and “dreaminess” of these experiences, maybe we can discover that the more odd and surreal an encounter is, the bigger the imprint it makes.

  • REBROADCAST | On the Trail of UFOs: Dark Sky (w/ Shannon LeGro and Seth Breedlove)

     01:11:17
    Ryan is literally somewhere in the skies traveling home from Monster Fest 2 and won't be able to broadcast live this week. BUT here is a popular rebroadcast featuring Seth Breedlove of Small Town Monsters and Shannon LeGro of Into the Fray podcast, about their series, On the Trail of UFOs: Dark Sky! On the Trail of UFOs: Dark Sky. The film picks up where last year’s On the Trail of UFOs, left off. This time, Breedlove and LeGro head to West Virginia to look at the state’s long history of strange objects in the sky, including local UFO sightings, the famous Flatwoods Monster encounter, the terrifyingly bizarre lore of Indrid Cold and the mysteries behind the Men in Black. They also tease some of the adventures they had in the mountains and caves of West Virginia, and what comes next as they continue their relentless search for answers, on the trail of UFOs. On the Trail of UFOs: Dark Sky is available on all streaming platforms.
