In this Somewhere in the Skies Classic, we revisit one of the most extraordinary and controversial alien abduction cases in UFO history: The Andreasson Affair. Beginning in Massachusetts in 1967, Betty Andreasson’s alleged encounter involved strange beings entering her home, missing time, medical procedures, telepathic communication, and deeply spiritual experiences, claims that would later undergo an extensive investigation led by renowned UFO researcher Raymond Fowler.
Ryan is joined by veteran UFO researcher Peter Robbins to explore the case’s place in the history of abduction research, its connections to the paranormal and spirituality, the role of hypnosis and witness testimony, and the skepticism and controversy that continue to surround it. As today’s UFO conversation increasingly expands beyond nuts-and-bolts craft into questions of consciousness, perception, and the nature of anomalous experience, the Andreasson Affair may be more relevant than ever.

More from Somewhere in the Skies
In December of 1973, a man living in the Belgian city of Vilvoorde experienced something truly anomalous. In the middle of the night, he spotted a strange, luminous humanoid entity which took off in a flying saucer.
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?
