Show Notes
Former law enforcement officer Chuck Zukowski has spent more than three decades investigating some of America's most compelling UFO encounters, following trails that many authorities abandoned long ago. Alongside his son, Daniel, and paranormal investigator Heather Taddy, he travels the desolate backroads, forgotten towns, and remote landscapes that have earned the nickname "America's Alien Highway." Together, they reexamine overlooked cases, uncover evidence that others have missed, and earn the trust of witnesses who have remained silent for years, hoping to uncover the truth behind one of the world's greatest mysteries.
Now, Chuck Zukowski and Heather Taddy join me to pull back the curtain on their investigations, sharing the stories, discoveries, and behind-the-scenes moments that never made it to television. From compelling witness testimony and intriguing physical evidence to the realities of investigating UFO reports in the field, we explore what it truly takes to chase the unknown, and why the search continues.

More from Somewhere in the Skies
Ryan takes a deep dive into Out of the Shadows, the new book from former Pentagon UFO investigator, Jay Stratton. From alleged recovered alien spacecraft and non-human bodies to secret reverse-engineering programs, encounters with extraterrestrial beings, and government cover-ups, Stratton makes some extraordinary claims. But does he provide the evidence to back them up, or does his book raise more questions than answers?
Legendary UFO researcher and author Jacques Vallee returns to discuss his latest book, Forbidden Science 7: The Final Report, and the future of UFO research. Together, he and Ryan explore the realities of UFO disclosure, Vallee's ongoing analysis of mysterious materials with Dr. Garry Nolan, and the possible connections between consciousness and non-human intelligence. He also revisits the controversial Trinity UFO crash, the possibility that certain UFO crashes were deliberate, and why government revelations may raise more questions than answers. After more than six decades investigating the unexplained, Vallée reflects on his remarkable career, the mysteries that remain, and why the next generation of researchers may need to rethink everything they believe about UFOs.
In this episode of Somewhere in the Skies Classics, Ryan speaks with Brian Bethel, the man behind one of the earliest and most chilling accounts of the Black-Eyed Kids. In 1996, Bethel was sitting alone in his car in Abilene, Texas, when two young boys approached asking for a ride. Something about them filled him with overwhelming fear, then he saw their completely black eyes. Bethel recounts the terrifying encounter, how his story spread across the early internet and helped ignite the BEK phenomenon, and what he believes may lurk behind those dark, soulless eyes.
Ryan and Suzanne are back with the latest UFO news, including 3 new whistleblowers who recently came forward in a new Steven Greer documentary about military UFO encounters. Then, they share 4 UFO Reddit stories about other military encounters that defy explanation. From a mysterious craft discovered deep in the jungles of Vietnam and soldiers opening fire on a UFO in Iraq, to 90 minutes of missing time and the shocking recovery of an alleged alien body at a U.S. Air Force base. Are these extraordinary military encounters evidence of something otherworldly, or is there more to these stories than meets the eye?
We are joined by author and researcher, Peter Robbins, to investigate the mysterious death of James Forrestal, America's first Secretary of Defense. On May 22nd, 1949, Forrestal plunged from the sixteenth floor of Bethesda Naval Hospital, sparking decades of controversy and conspiracy theories. With alleged ties to Majestic 12, a rumored secret government group investigating crashed UFOs, questions remain. Did Forrestal know too much about UFOs and extraterrestrial technology? Was his death a tragic suicide, or was something far more sinister at play?
