Summary

On episode 36 of SOMEWHERE IN THE SKIES, Ryan is joined by colleagues: Jason McClellan, MJ Banias, and Mike Damante to discuss the year in review. The boys begin with the late October UFO incident over Oregon where both commercial planes and fighter jets observed and scrambled an unknown aircraft. They then discuss the Oumuamua Asteroid story, the Kepler discovery of eight new alien planets, and then things get really recent as they go deep into the bombshell story of a secret Pentagon UFO program in connection with Tom DeLonge's To the Stars Academy. The episode ends with the boys discussing who they want to hear from more in 2018 and who they want to shut the hell up as well! It is a jam-packed episode and a perfect way to ring in the New Year.
