On episode 339 of SOMEWHERE IN THE SKIES, we head to Exeter, New Hampshire. In September of 1965, 18-year old Norman Muscarello spotted a massive cylindrical-shaped object hovering in a field in the sleepy town of Exeter. He frantically reported the event to local police. Several officers would accompany Muscarello back to the site to investigate. And the craft, whatever it was, was back. Witnessed by the officers and dozens around town, explanations by the local Air Force base were flat-out rejected by the witnesses. Soon, Project Blue Book would be called in to solve the case once and for all. This is the Exeter UFO incident.Co-written and researched by Marcus Lowth: www.ufoinsight.comSpecial thanks to our voiceover contributors:Kevin Crispin: www.sadtimespodcast.comBrent Hand: www.hysteria51.comRead Ryan’s Articles by CLICKING HEREOpening Theme Song, "Ephemeral Reign" by Per KiilstofteCopyright © 2023 Ryan Sprague.

Welcome to Comedians on UFOs: Part 2!We are joined by Tim Barnes, Michael Ian Black, Brian Huskey, Reggie Watts, Andrew Sanford, and Dean Haglund!UFO accounts can sometimes reminds us of a playful world. A humorous world. A species looking for structure and pattern and constantly being bombarded with both chaos and ridiculousness. And that if most definitely UFOs. And it's also comedy. Comedy gives us a communal experience full of confusion and raw emotional release. It makes us feel more human than ever. So when we're faced with something possibly non-human, we can choose to run away from it or fight it. Or, we can embrace it and sometimes, laugh about it. In this series, Ryan digs into the archives of Somewhere in the Skies to bring you a collection of interviews he's conducted throughout the years with comedians. And, as you'll see, a common thread starts to weave its way through these conversations. Why are comedians drawn to UFOs? How can we use it to both accept and possibly even understand UFO phenomenon?Read Ryan’s Articles by CLICKING HEREOpening Theme Song, "Ephemeral Reign" by Per KiilstofteCopyright © 2023 Ryan Sprague.

On episode 337 of SOMEWHERE IN THE SKIES, we head to Indiana. In 1993, across the state, witnesses in all walks of life would report dozens of UFO sightings for over an hour. All reported similar shaped craft, with red lights being the primary detail that made local authorities believe that everyone was seeing the same thing. The craft seemed to be moving with purpose and destination. But where? And just exactly what was it? Some say it was Apache helicopters. Others believed it to be a craft from another world. But whatever it was, it gripped the entire state of Indiana in what became known as the "Flash UFO Wave of 1993."Read Ryan’s Articles by CLICKING HEREOpening Theme Song, "Ephemeral Reign" by Per KiilstofteCopyright © 2023 Ryan Sprague.
