    Paul Hynek on His Father J. Allen Hynek, Steven Spielberg, and UFO Disclosure (SITS CLASSIC)
    Jun 17 2026
    In this edition of Somewhere in the Skies Classics, we revisit our fascinating conversation with Paul Hynek, son of legendary astronomer and UFO researcher Dr. J. Allen Hynek. As the UAP conversation continues to expand in 2026 through congressional hearings, military testimony, and renewed scientific inquiry, Hynek's work remains more relevant than ever. Known for his work on Project Blue Book, creating the Close Encounters classification system, and consulting with Steven Spielberg on Close Encounters of the Third Kind, J. Allen Hynek helped bring UFOs into both the scientific and cultural mainstream. Paul offers a rare, personal look at his father's investigations, his evolving views on the phenomenon, the real stories behind Project Blue Book, and why Hynek's commitment to evidence-based inquiry continues to influence today's UAP debate.

    They Worked with STEVEN SPIELBERG... Here's Their Review of DISCLOSURE DAY
    Jun 15 2026
    Ryan is joined by Hollywood insiders, screenwriters, and Sound, Light & Frequency podcast hosts Bryce Zabel and Brent Friedman for an in-depth, spoiler-filled review of Disclosure Day, the latest from legendary filmmaker Steven Spielberg. Having both worked with Spielberg and spent years exploring the intersection of Hollywood, science fiction, and the UFO phenomenon, Bryce and Brent bring unique insider perspectives to one of the year's most talked-about films. Together, they break down the film's themes, performances, visual storytelling, and its handling of UFO disclosure, government secrecy, and extraterrestrial contact. The discussion explores how Disclosure Day compares to Spielberg's iconic alien films, including Close Encounters of the Third Kind, E.T. the Extra-Terrestrial, and War of the Worlds, while examining the real-life UFO cases, historical references, and hidden easter eggs woven throughout the movie. Where does Disclosure Day rank among Spielberg's greatest science-fiction films? Does it succeed as a UFO disclosure movie? And how accurately does it reflect decades of UFO history and research? Join us for a passionate, honest, and detailed conversation as we unpack every major moment, reveal our favorite scenes, debate its biggest surprises, and determine where Spielberg's newest alien outing stands in the pantheon of UFO cinema.

  • Hynek, Spielberg & Close Encounters with Mark O'Connell (SITS CLASSIC)

    Hynek, Spielberg & Close Encounters with Mark O'Connell (SITS CLASSIC)
    Jun 12 2026
    In this SITS classic from 2017, we speak with Mark O'Connell. With UFOs once again dominating headlines through government hearings, whistleblower claims, and renewed public interest, we’re revisiting this conversation with O'Connell about his book,The Close Encounters Man: How One Man Made the World Believe in UFOs, chronicling the life of legendary astronomer Dr. J. Allen Hynek. Originally hired by the Air Force to debunk UFO sightings, Hynek’s years investigating unexplained cases led him to a startling conclusion: UFOs deserved serious scientific attention. Through unprecedented access to Hynek’s personal and professional files, including his time working with Steven Spielberg, O’Connell paints a compelling portrait of the man who transformed from skeptic to pioneer in UFO research. At a time when many of the same questions Hynek raised decades ago are resurfacing today, this episode remains more relevant than ever.

  • The Allagash Abduction

    The Allagash Abduction
    Jun 8 2026
    In August 1976, four friends set out on a canoe trip through the remote wilderness of northern Maine expecting nothing more than fishing, camping, and adventure. Instead, they experienced one of the most controversial UFO encounters in history. Ryan dives deep into the infamous Allagash Abduction, tracing the events from the group's sighting of a massive glowing object over Eagle Lake and a mysterious period of missing time, to the vivid nightmares, hypnotic regressions, polygraph tests, and alien abduction claims that would thrust the case into the national spotlight. Featuring firsthand testimony from Jim and Jack Weiner, Charlie Foltz, UFO researcher Raymond Fowler, audio from interviews and television appearances, and a detailed examination of both the supporting evidence and skeptical critiques, this episode explores why the Allagash case remains a cornerstone of UFO lore nearly fifty years later.
