    The True Story of the Headless Horseman & Sleepy Hollow ( w/ J.W. Ocker 🎃 )

    In a Special Halloween crossover, Somewhere in the Skies and Somewhere on the Screen are exploring one of America's greatest ghost stories: The Headless Horseman of Sleepy Hollow! Ryan welcomes bestselling author J.W. Ocker to discuss his new book, Chasing the Headless Horseman. They uncover the true history behind Washington Irving's legendary tale, the possible identity of the real Headless Horseman, and why Ichabod Crane may have been the villain all along. They also explore Sleepy Hollow's transformation into a Halloween destination, the films and television shows that immortalized the legend, and Irving's surprising connection to another holiday.

    Jay Stratton: Out of the Shadows

    Ryan takes a deep dive into Out of the Shadows, the new book from former Pentagon UFO investigator, Jay Stratton. From alleged recovered alien spacecraft and non-human bodies to secret reverse-engineering programs, encounters with extraterrestrial beings, and government cover-ups, Stratton makes some extraordinary claims. But does he provide the evidence to back them up, or does his book raise more questions than answers? We also examine new developments surrounding the alleged UFO luring operation at White Sands Missile Range, including claims of mysterious orbs and unreleased military footage. Plus, a former Army sniper shares a shocking story of U.S. soldiers allegedly battling reptilian beings near Area 51. Could these claims connect to David Grusch's recent revelations? We also pay tribute to Mario Woods, a former U.S. Air Force nuclear security officer, UFO witness, and past guest of the show, who sadly passed away this week.
