Summary

On episode 61 of SOMEWHERE IN THE SKIES, Ryan is fresh off his trip to Pasadena, CA, where he presented at the 2018 AlienCon. He reflects on the event and then pulls a fascinating interview out of the archives with past guest, MJ Banias. The two discuss how Banias got involved in the topic, his thoughts and theories on the importance of UFO studies and research, and the philosophy behind it all. It's the perfect discussion to precede next week's jam-packed episode recorded live at AlienCon. Guest Bio: MJ Banias is a writer and blogger who critically and philosophically examines the weird, the strange and the anomalous. He was a former field investigator with MUFON, has been featured on multiple podcasts and radio shows, and contributes to Mysterious Universe and Rogue Planet. His work has been included in FATE Magazine, and in a new book entitled UFOs: Reframing the Debate.
