Summary

Long before the modern UFO era, settlers, cowboys, soldiers, and newspapers across the American frontier were reporting strange lights, mysterious craft, and even non-human beings in the skies. In this episode of Somewhere in the Skies, we travel back to the late 1800s to explore remarkable cases from Montana’s glowing “sky chariots” and New Mexico’s ghost lights to early reports of crashes, humanoid encounters, and the bizarre airship wave that swept the West. From silent orbs following cattle drives to alleged crashes in Colorado and Texas, these encounters blur the line between folklore and something far more technological. Together, they suggest the UFO phenomenon did not begin in the 20th century, but has deep roots in the Wild West, appearing in forms shaped by the time, culture, and understanding of those who witnessed it.
