Somewhere in the Skies

Ryan is joined by longtime UFO researcher, defense contractor, and Scientific Coalition for UAP Studies (SCU) board member Rich Hoffman for an in-depth conversation covering the past, present, and future of UAP research. He shares how an eighth-grade science assignment launched a lifetime of investigations that would eventually bring him into contact with Project Blue Book personnel, Dr. J. Allen Hynek, Stanton Friedman, and many of the pioneers who shaped modern ufology.

The discussion explores Hoffman's work with MUFON's STAR Team, his decades supporting the U.S. Army and defense technology programs, the creation of the Scientific Coalition for UAP Studies, and why collaboration between scientists, governments, and civilian researchers is more important than ever. They also dive into the upcoming SCU Conference in Toronto, the Aguadilla UAP investigation, advances in AI and UAP detection, the latest War.gov document releases, and whether humanity is any closer to genuine disclosure.

Here is the full unedited version of The Disclosure Forum that took place in Washington DC on June 25th.

Hosted by the Disclosure Foundation, the Disclosure Forum 2026 brought together lawmakers, scientists, journalists, military officials, researchers, economists, and policy experts to discuss one of the most consequential questions of our time: how humanity should respond to increasing transparency surrounding Unidentified Anomalous Phenomena (UAP).

Rather than focusing solely on proving the existence of UAP, the event is designed to examine the broader implications of disclosure. Discussions will explored congressional oversight, national security, scientific investigation, religion, psychology, economics, technology, and the societal impact of a world in which governments and institutions may be forced to confront previously hidden realities.

In this edition of Somewhere in the Skies Classics, we revisit one of the most mysterious military encounters ever featured on the show. Former Air Force Security Forces officer Jeremy McGowan recounts a strange assignment in the Jordanian Desert in 1995, where he and another officer were ordered to guard a massive, unmarked crate with no explanation of its contents or purpose. During a nighttime watch, McGowan witnessed an unidentified object hovering directly above the crate, performing extraordinary maneuvers that defied explanation. As today's UAP conversation continues to unfold, this remarkable account takes on new relevance.

McGowan walks us through the events of that night, the aftermath, and his theories about what was inside the crate, where it came from, and why whatever was in the sky seemed so interested in it.

Filmmaker and UFO researcher Dean Alioto returns to discuss his powerful new documentary, The Experiencers: Full Disclosure. As public interest in UFOs continues to grow following Steven Spielberg's Disclosure Day, Alioto shifts the focus from government secrets to the people at the heart of the mystery: the experiencers themselves.

In the film, Alioto explores famous cases including Betty and Barney Hill, Travis Walton, Terry Lovelace, and Whitley Strieber, while also examining compelling new testimonies from modern-day experiencers. The discussion covers alien abductions, missing time, hypnosis, screen memories, non-human intelligence, and the lasting emotional impact these encounters can have.

Alioto also shares insights on the work of Harvard psychiatrist John E. Mack, theories surrounding consciousness and reincarnation, and why experiencer testimony remains one of the most overlooked aspects of the UFO phenomenon.
