Somewhere in the SkiesSep 21, 2026
Ryan Sprague presents the 42nd volume of Witness Accounts, featuring four everyday people describing their personal UFO encounters, from a color-shifting craft over Tallahassee to a silent black triangle over an Ontario cornfield. The standout story comes from Army veteran and former pastor Vince Hall, who says a bluish-white orb telepathically promised him protection during his 2004 deployment in Baghdad. The episode argues that true disclosure comes not from governments but from ordinary witnesses willing to share their stories.
The Cote UFO Photo: The Clearest UFO Image Ever Captured?
Somewhere in the SkiesSep 7, 2026
In 1971, a Costa Rican government aerial mapping mission over Lake Cote captured a sharp, disc-shaped object on a single frame of high-resolution cartographic film, and no one aboard saw it. Filmmakers Adam Pillen and Megan Woomer discuss their documentary The Cote Photo, which traces the image's unbroken chain of custody, its analysis by researchers like Jacques Vallée and Richard Haines, and the lifelong UFO experiences of cartographer Sergio Loaiza. The conversation explores why this photo has held up to scrutiny for decades and why it may be one of the clearest UFO images ever taken.
