On episode 354 of SOMEWHERE IN THE SKIES, Steve Berg returns to give his fascinating solo presentation from Anomacon 2023, titled, The Weird Stuff: The Role of Absurdity and Surrealism in High Strange Encounters. In this presentation, Berg explains that when it comes to encounters with UFO occupants and cryptids, the cases most commonly used as examples for the strongest evidence are the ones that fit into the framework most easily with our sense of reality, often leaving out the really weird cases. But what if the weirdness was part of the point? Using encounter cases throughout history and focusing on the absurd qualities and “dreaminess” of these experiences, maybe we can discover that the more odd and surreal an encounter is, the bigger the imprint it makes.

On episode 353 of SOMEWHERE IN THE SKIES, we hear the story of Dan and Joyce Ahrens. One evening in the fall of 1976, they were heading to bed after settling their children. They soon went to sleep. But some time in the night, a red light suddenly lit up the entire bedroom in a strange glow. What happened next was beyond terrifying and even more so, it was beyond explanation. And the story that would unravel would change the entire family forever.

On episode 352 of SOMEWHERE IN THE SKIES, we explore a handful of mysterious UFO encounters that had both temporary and lasting effects on animals. And while the cases themselves are both extraordinary and truly bizarre, some of them would leave animals either agitated, excited, scared, or unfortunately; dead.
