Summary

On Episode 02 of SOMEWHERE IN THE SKIES, Ryan talks about the mysterious case of a young man that has supposedly gone missing in Brazil. Left behind in his bedroom is a conspiracy theorist's dream come true; cryptic messages, occult-like symbols, a series of self-published books completely in code and a large, hand-made statue of a 16th-century philosopher. This entire story is made all the more intriguing after learning the young man was obsessed with aliens, a hand-painted portrait left hanging on the wall showing him dressed as the late philosopher, and an alien being holding him on the shoulder. Is this story the mystery of the year? Or is it an intricate prank or performance piece set to fool the online community? Next, we hear from Ryan's guest, noted author and radio personality, Micah Hanks. They speak about a fascinating UFO sighting that Hank's personally researched and investigated, and then they dig deep into the famous Cash/Landrum UFO case and the mysterious Frederick Valentich disappearance. They round out the conversation looking at the work of Allan Hendry, an investigator for the Center for UFO Studies (CUFOS) throughout the late 1970s, whose work alongside J. Allen Hynek resulted in his book, The UFO Handbook: A Guide to Investigating, Evaluating and Reporting UFO Sightings. Please take a moment to rate and review us on Spotify and Apple.

0:00.0	I'm Ryan Sprague and this is somewhere in the skies.
0:07.0	I'm Ryan Sprague and this is somewhere in the skies. He was genuinely concerned
0:35.0	by what he saw you know he with what he saw he was he was worried, he sounded confused.
0:44.0	Then as he described what the aircraft was doing,
0:48.0	you know, I became a little bit concerned too.
0:51.0	I had streamed out as to his safety, flying a single engine airplane
0:56.3	over water, lost communication in such strange circumstances. I put an alert
1:02.2	phase on the airplane and once that it elapsed we then went to the
1:06.3	distress phase stage and that was the commencement of the search. There's been no
1:31.1	recovery of any search. There's been no recovery of any wreckage. Of course he has gone. So we're left with an open case which sounds very much like he did encounter something very mysterious. And there's no other conclusion that I can come to other than that.
1:35.0	The voice you just heard was that of Steve Roby, the flight tower service operator out of Melbourne
1:42.0	Flight Air Service. On October 21st, 1978, Frederick
1:46.4	Valentin was piloting his Cessna airplane over Bass Strait, heading south-eastwardly for King Island.
1:54.1	This is when he radioed Steve in a controlled panic,
1:58.0	stating that something anomalous was not only following his aircraft,
2:01.9	but was now flying directly above it.
2:04.5	The Lintage described the object as rather large,
2:07.6	shagar-shaped metallic with a green light pulsating from it.
2:12.0	It passed over his plane and then vanished out of sight.
2:16.3	Moments later, it returned and was once again dangerously close to Valentages'
2:21.6	aircraft. The last words of his transmission were his fathers.
2:26.0	Quote, it is hovering and it's not an aircraft. This is when the transmission went dead and Frederick the Lintage and his plane were never seen again.
