5 Chilling Men in Black Encounters | Stories from UFO Reddit

Somewhere in the SkiesSep 18, 2026

Hosts Ryan Sprague and Suzanne Landers read five Reddit accounts from people who say they were visited by mysterious Men in Black after seeing or reporting UFOs. The stories include pale, robotic-sounding agents at Joshua Tree, alleged Raytheon representatives at a remote Afghanistan radar post, eerie phone calls replaying private conversations, and fake roofers who arrived just after a UFO documentary interview. The most unsettling case describes a man and woman who showed a witness photographs of his own UFO sighting, seemingly taken from his own point of view.

Hollywood Actor Shares Wild Alien Encounter Stories - Thomas Jane | ep. 101

AREA52 Podcast (Chris Ramsay)Sep 11, 2026

Actor Thomas Jane describes publicly, for the first time, a 2011 encounter in which three glowing, butterfly-shaped beings made of red and green laser-like threads hovered over him for hours, flashed complex geometric patterns, and waited for his mental consent before passing into his body. He says the experience changed his entire life, and it led to his book The Watch Guard, which collects obscure humanoid encounter cases and argues that human and non-human forces work together to control humanity's access to advanced technology. Along the way, he and host Chris Ramsay discuss the Bolivian 'bleeding alien' case, theosophy's influence on ufology, alien 'clades,' and the idea that love is a non-local force at the heart of the phenomenon.

The Helmeted Humanoid of Puerto Rico w/ Zelia Edgar

Somewhere in the SkiesAug 7, 2026

On July 12, 1977, businessman Adrian Olmos Andrones of Quebradillas, Puerto Rico, watched a three-and-a-half-foot being in a green suit and reflective helmet approach a street lamp, then fly away using what looked like a glowing jetpack. His family and at least 10 neighbors saw the strange lights hopping between the trees, while local cattle and dogs panicked. Host Zelia Edgar uses the case to explore John Keel's idea that light is the core of unexplained phenomena and that the entities people see may be masks shaped by the witness's own mind.

Expanded PerspectivesAug 7, 2026

Paranormal researcher David Weatherly, author of Black Eyed Children and Strange Intruders, explores the idea that strange entities may intrude into our world from another level of existence, and that human belief itself might help create them. He discusses the Philip experiment, the possibly invented ghost of Chloe at the Myrtles Plantation, and the Slender Man as examples of tulpas, or thought-forms brought to life by collective focus. He also recounts his own 1980s encounter with a 'grinning man' in North Carolina, warns about jinn attaching to souvenirs that soldiers bring home from the Middle East, and describes Pukwudgies and 'portal areas' like the Bridgewater Triangle.

The Disembodied Hands of the Loire w/ Zelia Edgar

Somewhere in the SkiesJul 24, 2026

On May 20, 1950, a young Frenchwoman named Micheline G. was walking along the Loire River when a blinding light appeared and two cold, coppery, disembodied hands seized her, choked her, and dragged her through a bramble thicket while an unseen being laughed in a muffled, underwater voice. Police found finger marks on her face and throat, and burned, broken brush and fencing at the scene, and initially treated it as an attempted kidnapping. Host Zelia Edgar explores why this case, featured in Jacques Vallee's work, is one of the most frightening and physical abduction accounts on record, and how it echoes Scotland's Dechmont Law incident and centuries of folklore about phantom hands.
