Summary

This episode is in Loving Memory of Ryan's mother, Susan Sprague, who passed away on May 3rd. She was one of our biggest fans and supporters and we will miss her dearly. Read full obituary, written by Ryan, and where donations can be made to Sue's favorite charities: https://rebrand.ly/6fq0xke On episode 354 of SOMEWHERE IN THE SKIES, Steve Berg returns to give his fascinating solo presentation from Anomacon 2023, titled, The Weird Stuff: The Role of Absurdity and Surrealism in High Strange Encounters. In this presentation, Berg explains that when it comes to encounters with UFO occupants and cryptids, the cases most commonly used as examples for the strongest evidence are the ones that fit into the framework most easily with our sense of reality, often leaving out the really weird cases. But what if the weirdness was part of the point? Using encounter cases throughout history and focusing on the absurd qualities and “dreaminess” of these experiences, maybe we can discover that the more odd and surreal an encounter is, the bigger the imprint it makes.
