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 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.

This installment of Somewhere in the Skies collects first-hand UFO sighting accounts from listeners in Wales, Wisconsin, New Jersey, Vancouver, Pennsylvania, and Germany. Several witnesses describe silent black triangles with glowing lights at each corner, and others report silver spheres, a leaf-like falling object, and a rotating glassy cone that seemed to vanish into the sky. One Pennsylvania farmer even claims he watched a fighter jet chase a gray ball across his fields and fire flares at it.
