Summary

On episode 255 of SOMEWHERE IN THE SKIES, we are joined by VICE World News contributor, Daniel Otis. Through the Canadian Access to Information Act, Otis obtained over 20 years (300 pages) of UFO files from the Canadian government. These reports, which were made to federal transportation authorities as recently as 2021, include scores of strange sightings from professional pilots, soldiers and police officers. The releases also include nearly two dozen reports sent by the Canadian military. In this exclusive interview, Chrissy Newton dissects some of the most compelling reports Otis uncovered, along with a discussion on the way in which the Canadian government and media handles the UFO issue.
