Summary

On episode 293 of SOMEWHERE IN THE SKIES, we are joined by the one and only Whitley Strieber. Strieber is probably best known for his breakout non-fiction book, Communion, which became an instant best-seller in 1989. Communion brought the alien abduction phenomenon to the forefront of pop culture with its terrifying, yet fascinating story and its iconic book cover of what is now known as the alien "grey". The book was later made into a feature film, starring Christopher Walken as Strieber. Since then, Strieber's journey with what he calls "The Visitors" has only grown stronger, especially after the passing of his wife. Today, Strieber will discuss the pinnacle experience that drove him to write Communion, his continuing search to find answers, the connections between UFOs and the afterlife, and then he answers listener questions.
