Show Notes
As we mark another July anniversary of the 1947 Roswell incident, we're revisiting one of our most controversial and fascinating conversations. While Roswell is often framed as a battle between extraterrestrial visitation and Project Mogul, author and researcher Nick Redfern presents a far darker possibility involving secret Cold War experiments, human test subjects, missing records, and a government cover-up that may have helped shape the modern UFO myth.
In this classic interview, Redfern discusses the evidence, witnesses, and intelligence sources behind his books Body Snatchers in the Desert and The Roswell UFO Conspiracy. Whether you agree with his conclusions or not, this conversation challenges assumptions about the world's most famous UFO case and reminds us why Roswell remains at the center of the UFO mystery nearly eight decades later. As new UAP disclosures continue to emerge, it's the perfect time to revisit one of the most debated theories ever proposed.

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?
