On episode 136 of SOMEWHERE IN THE SKIES, Ryan is joined by Jason McClellan and Maureen Elsberry, both of Rogue Planet's UNKNOWN podcast, to discuss the latest news in UFO material acquisition. What exactly is the new partnership between Tom DeLonge's To the Stars Academy and the U.S. Army? What materials does the academy have, how did they obtain them, and what exactly does the army hope to do with this possible game-changing technology? The three discuss their own experiences with claimed UFO materials, how challenging it is to actually scientifically test these materials, and what happens when belief clouds the rigor of science?
