Joshua Cutchin on UFOs, Paranormal Encounters & The Inverted Path

Somewhere in the SkiesAug 24, 2026

Author Joshua Cutchin discusses his new book The Inverted Path, which explores why people across the paranormal spectrum report getting mysteriously lost or physically stopped during encounters. He links the old folklore of being 'pixie-led' by fairies to UFOs stalling cars, Bigfoot witnesses losing their way, and people becoming trapped behind invisible walls. Cutchin argues that disorientation and supernatural stopping are two sides of the same coin, and that electromagnetism alone cannot explain them.

The Tomakomai Sipper w/ Zelia Edgar

Somewhere in the SkiesAug 21, 2026

In July 1973, a young night watchman at a lumber yard near Tomakomai, Hokkaido, Japan, watched a glowing orb lower a transparent tube into the bay and appear to suck up seawater. The object then flew toward him, revealing small shadowy humanoid figures behind a ring of windows, while he felt paralyzed and his car radio filled with strange noise. Host Zelia Edgar connects the case to other water-taking UFO encounters, the symbolism of water and the unconscious mind, and the tiny underground people of Ainu folklore.

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.
