The Shag Harbour UFO Incident: Canada’s Most Mysterious UFO Crash (SITS CLASSIC)
Somewhere in the SkiesOct 4, 2026
On October 4, 1967, dozens of residents, fishermen, and RCMP officers in the tiny fishing village of Shag Harbour, Nova Scotia watched a string of orange lights descend into the water and float there before disappearing. Military and police divers found nothing but strange thick yellow foam, while insiders later claimed the object moved underwater to a secret submarine-tracking base off Shelburne. Ryan Sprague revisits Canada's answer to Roswell, compares it to the 2004 Navy Tic Tac encounter, and hears from Nova Scotia podcaster Jordan Bonaparte about the witnesses who have told the same story for decades.
Richard Dolan: USOs, PURSUE Files & Where UFO Disclosure Goes Next
Somewhere in the SkiesSep 28, 2026
UFO historian Richard Dolan returns to discuss volume two of his history of unidentified submerged objects (USOs), arguing that the 1970s was by far the most active decade for water-based UFO encounters. He walks through dramatic cases, including a glowing sphere disabling systems on the USS John F. Kennedy, Soviet divers allegedly meeting nine-foot beings in Lake Baikal, and a mysterious figure who reportedly walked through a bulkhead on the USS Saratoga to warn of an engine-room fuel leak. Dolan also weighs in on the PURSUE file releases, the Wall Street Journal's UFO hazing story, whistleblower waivers, and why he thinks a major data leak is more likely than official disclosure.
“They Mastered Consciousness” The Secret Science of the Breakaway Civilization | Richard Dolan
Third Eye DropsSep 7, 2026
UFO historian Richard Dolan explains why the White House UAP document releases fall short of true disclosure yet still show the government's long, hidden interest in UFOs, from the green fireballs over Los Alamos to recent FBI sketches of orbs and triangles. He shares new behavioral studies of underwater and aerial UFOs that point to an intelligent, adaptive phenomenon that blocks attempts to collect data, possibly with bases near Puerto Rico. The conversation then turns to his 'breakaway civilization' theory, reverse-engineering legends like the McCandlish ARV, links between consciousness and physics, and what alien intelligences might think of a humanity reshaped by technology.
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.

AREA52 Podcast (Chris Ramsay)Jul 31, 2026
Canadian experiencer Shawn Neubauer says that after a missing-time episode in Cancun 15 years ago, a tiny implant in his lip lets extraterrestrials talk with him constantly through voices and visual 'memes.' He says these beings came to our solar system to harvest hydrogen from the gas giants, built the Giza pyramids as a star map, and collect human data through implants to judge whether humanity can be trusted. He also claims they made a secrecy deal with world governments after World War II and taught him advanced physics that he is now using to build a wireless brain-interface company.
