Summary

On episode 16 of SOMEWHERE IN THE SKIES, Ryan is joined by Sammy Waisenen, host of the popular podcast, THE HOWL HORROR PROGRAM. This is a podcast mash-up where Ryan and Sammy discuss their personal UFO sightings, what they love about horror movies, and their admiration for the 1993 film, FIRE IN THE SKY. FIRE IN THE SKY is the comprehensive story of a logger named Travis Walton who mysteriously disappears in 1975. Walton and co-workers accidentally discover a UFO and unfortunately, they all escape except Walton who is elevated aboard the bizarre aircraft. As time passes, the small town of Snowflake, Arizona begins to believe that the other loggers are covering up the murder of Walton. But when Walton shows up sometime later, his story of what happened is both incredible and downright terrifying. Sammy and Ryan dissect the film and go in depth about the dichotomy between the Hollywood version and the actual events that Travis Walton recounted to the public. It was a fresh take on this classic UFO film. Will there be a remake that follows Walton's version in a more accurate light? And what stunning revelations has Travis Walton brought forward about what truly happened to him on the craft that night? Tune in to find out.

0:00.0	Hello, this is David Marler, and you're listening to Somewhere in the skies with Ryan's Bird. Oh, Did you see Travis Walton approach the object on the foot?
0:37.0	Yeah, I did.
0:44.0	Did you personally dislike Travis Walks?
0:49.0	What kind of question is that?
0:54.0	Did you or any of your crew murder Travis Walton?
1:05.0	Absolutely not.
1:07.0	What did it look like?
1:13.0	It looked like, uh,
1:16.0	like, uh... Like a fire. You expect me to believe that a flying saucer came down and took your friend away.
1:37.0	Why the heck aren't you speaking up for us? Why let this man talk to us like this? They took it.
1:50.0	Welcome to Somewhere in the skies. I'm your host, Ryan Sprague.

2:08.0	Then came my obsession with Nightmare on Elm Street, Friday the 13th, and of course the seminal work of George
2:13.7	Romero in the Living Dead movies. I loved the vulnerable feeling of fear and
2:18.8	suspense coursing through my veins as I peaked through my own hands covering my eyes. But deep down, I always
2:26.4	knew that between me and the monster there was a screen keeping me safe. These were the
2:31.6	twisted fantasies created by writers, directors, and actors, but sometimes
2:37.0	there are those monsters that become all too real.
2:40.0	And they don't come from the minds of a writer, but perhaps somewhere far, far off in the Cosmos.
