Pluto TV! Then I heard a voice. Come with me if you want to live. There were thousands of movies and shows, and they were all free. The truth is ours.
Starting point is 00:00:47 It's just so beautiful.

No credit cards or alien encounters necessary. Pluto TV, stream now, pay never. This is Somewhere in the Skies with Ryan Sprague. My name is Nick.
Starting point is 00:01:43 I am a warehouse manager for a datacom company. Just recently moved to Hampton, Virginia a couple months ago growing up around this area. I've had a interest in UFOs, aliens, etc. for on and off. But recently with the David Grush testimony and the congressional hearings in every I got a bit more into it these past few months. That's when I found your show. And because of that, I just have this inclination now that when I step outside, I just look up around in the sky, scan it, see if I see anything, and move on.
Starting point is 00:02:23 And so the night of October 28th, I did. So earlier that night, me and my girlfriend had gotten into a conversation somehow about sort of spirituality and reincarnation and things. things like that, I tend to think that I tend to believe in reincarnation based on some evidence that I've read, but she was talking about ghosts and there's kind of this idea that people can hang around a little bit after they die usually with some kind of unfinished business or whatever and I brought up my friend Matt who died a few years ago as an example and I kind of said, you know, he's
Starting point is 00:03:07 he wouldn't have any reason to hang around. The kind of guy he was, he's just going to move on to the next best thing. And I said, you know, he's not, he's not around anymore. He's gone. So later that night, around 11, my girlfriend had gone to bed, and I still had my friend met on my mind, so I pull up his Facebook page. I start looking through his photos and everything.
Starting point is 00:03:32 At a certain point, I started crying. You know, I didn't want to distress my girl. girlfriend or had to explain myself if she came back out. She had just gone to bed. So I went outside to be alone. Like I said, first thing I do when I go outside, just look up, look around in the sky, see if I see anything. And I saw what I first thought was just a star, a bright star. I kept looking around, you know, there's some airplanes and stuff. And I came back to that star and it was there was a light on it that was uneven
Starting point is 00:04:06 it was pulsating sort of so you would think that's an airplane at first but it wasn't at a steady pace and when I first saw it it was stationary as I kept looking at it it began slowly moving to the right or left whatever it would go back and forth and I'm just watching it and I decide
Starting point is 00:04:29 I should take out my phone and start recording. When I zoom all the way in on my phone in the recording, it looks interesting. It's the best way I can describe it is like a donut on its side. The center of it is a black circle and then there's a thick ring of light or electricity or whatever around the outside that pulsate starts getting bigger and smaller, blinking, uh, staying still. It's very random. There's not a specific pattern to it. At a certain point, a plane was flying by towards the right. I live near two airports and an Air Force base, so I'm familiar with what that looks like in the sky. So I turn my phone over the airplane
Starting point is 00:05:21 just as a comparison, and it looks completely different. It's just a blinking light on the phone. turn back to the object and it's it doesn't look anything alike. It's a pulsating white circle with a black center. It would move over to the right, stop for a minute, start moving to the left. And I'm holding my phone with both hands to try to keep it steady. And I'd say on the recording, okay, it's moving over towards the right. I'd let it go almost out of frame. And I'm like, I'm slowly moving my phone back over to the right to follow it,
Starting point is 00:05:59 just to try to eliminate people saying, you know, you were just moving your phone around to make it look like it was moving or whatever. So I record it for about 20 minutes. It's still just hanging out in the same area, moving left, moving right. I couldn't really tell if it was going up or down or back or forward. It was a good distance away, and it's hard to tell at that distance. So eventually I just say, okay, I'm going back inside. I'm tired. but when I get in I begin a Mufon report and start filling that out.
Starting point is 00:06:34 It took me quite a while to do because I had 20 minutes of video and it didn't want that much data and the attachments. So it wouldn't let me remove them, so I had to start it over two or three times until I whittled it down to what it would accept. So that took about an hour, and so around midnight I was finished with that. I, before I went to bed, I looked back outside and, uh, look for it.
Starting point is 00:07:01 It had moved to directly underneath the North Star and was just hovering in place there now. So said, okay. And then went ahead to bed. How did it make me feel, um, excited, certainly, because I've always wanted to see something interesting in the sky. Um, it made me feel, uh, well, the reason I brought up my buddy Matt earlier was because because there's this idea, mainly from Wittly Streber, that what we call UFOs have something to do with the dead, essentially. And I thought it was extremely strange that I had brought up Matt earlier that night. We were talking about him.
Starting point is 00:07:45 I said, he's not around anymore. You know, he's moved on. He's on in the next thing. And then I'm looking at videos of him or photos of him, getting emotional. And I walk outside, and immediately, this thing is right there. Do I necessarily think it was him or having something to do with him? Not necessarily.
Starting point is 00:08:06 I just think that's very strange that those were the situations surrounding it. So if it was something to do with that, I feel very blessed and very grateful and very touched to, if it was some sort of contact to... to have received that. What do I think it was? Where do I stand on it now? You could convince me that it's a drone.
Starting point is 00:08:38 The way it moved was drone-like. It would hover and move left to right. If you could show me a video of a drone that looks like that, kind of pulsating and throwing out electricity or light in a ring around it, I would believe you, but I have yet to see that, and I looked up videos of that after I made the recording. I didn't see anything like that. There is a lot of military activity around here right now. We have some military bases here, and with the things going on in the Middle East, they're pretty active.
Starting point is 00:09:15 I know that the military has said that they have things that would blow our minds or whatever. this one wouldn't be so mind-blowing. I don't know what it looks like up close, but I can envision, you know, it's not completely alien technology. If you had a drone that threw out electricity
Starting point is 00:09:36 and kind of a ring around it, 360-degree ring, that stayed black at the center, I don't know why you would want to do that, what that would be for, but that could look something like this. So it's not completely alien technology. It wasn't
Starting point is 00:09:51 zipping around the sky or making hard 90 degree turns. It's something I can envision us having, although I don't know what it would be or why. But in the end, I just don't know. I don't know what it was. It could be man-made, could be spiritual, could be whatever extra-dimensional and interdimensional. I don't know. But I'm grateful to have seen it. and I encourage everybody just keep looking in the skies based on how long it took me.
Starting point is 00:10:26 I don't think it'll take you long to see something interesting there either. Thanks, Ryan. Hey, Ryan, how you doing? The following story I'm going to tell you, I've told many times before, but this time I'm going to tell it the way it really happened, not the way I was told to tell it. In 1985, I was a U.S. Marine in El Toro, California. Part of my duties as a U.S. Marine in El Toro was to a nuclear weapons security guard.
Starting point is 00:10:58 One evening, right around 8 o'clock at night or as in the military, we say 20,00 hours, I got a knock at my door and the duty NCO was at the door and he said, get ready for guard duty. Someone's going to pick you up in front of the barracks in about 15 minutes. Fifty minutes later, a van pulls up and I hop in. And what's kind of odd about this is that the driver of the van is a Marine captain who I didn't recognize. But everybody else in the van, I did recognize. They were all nuclear weapons, security guards from different units on El Toro.
Starting point is 00:11:36 We were a small group and we all knew each other. There was a bunch of Lance corporals, which I was one. And then there was one E5 sergeant. And we went over to the armory, picked up our, M16s the sergeant picked up as 45. Then the driver proceeded to take us to the last hangar in the row, which is an abandoned hanger. The squadron that was there was overseas in the Far East, so there was nobody using that
Starting point is 00:12:06 hanger. We pulled up, and as we pulled up, there were guys that saw us pull up and they were getting in a truck, what we called a five-ton truck. And I don't think they were Marine Corps. They didn't look military to me. They just buy their uniforms. They just kind of, they just look like security guys. And the captain told us to get in the formation next to the hangar.
Starting point is 00:12:31 And this is where things get kind of weird. The captain says, okay, here's the deadly force rule for this post. Nobody gets inside this hangar. And he proceeded to hand out a clip of, for the M-16. with rounds in it. So I was like, oh, okay, so he hands these rounds. And I go, my post was at the door along the back of the hangar, there was a door there. And it was me and another Marine.
Starting point is 00:13:05 Our post was right there. And we're standing there. And roughly around midnight, I would say, the sergeant comes around, and he's just checking everybody, making sure no one's sleeping, you know, just saying, how are you doing? Do you need a break? And I ask him, I go, what do you think is? What are we guarding? And he said, oh, he said, I talked to the captain before he left. And the captain said, it's a speedboat. And I stopped for a minute and I said, a speedboat. You mean we got authorization to shoot someone over a speedboat if they come inside the hangar? That makes absolutely no sense, right? So he walks off, comes back a little bit later. And I say to him and said, hey, can we take a look and he hesitated for a minute and he said you know what sure but one at a time and i'm going first so he went in and he came out about 10 15 minutes later came out and as he's walking past us he
Starting point is 00:14:04 said it's definitely not a speedboat and he kept walking so i thought okay well i'm going in next so i walk in and this is what i saw the hanger was dimly lit the only light in the hangar was was the exit sign and the, there was one light in the overhead or in the ceiling that was on. But it was pretty dim in there. So I had my flashlight. Kind of an eerie feeling. In the middle of the hangar bay was a trailer. And on that trailer was something about the size of a car.
Starting point is 00:14:38 And I would say, when I say car, I mean like an 85 escort. Because that's what I was comparing it to the moment I was looking at it saying, hey, that's about the size of my car because I drove a shitty escort. So I walk over to it and there was a tarp over the top But under it the tarp didn't go all the way down You could still see the bottom part and I look And it looks to me like I said hey that kind of looks like a boat bottom You know sure it does it kind of looks like a boat bottom So I walk over to it and I turn my flashlight on a look
Starting point is 00:15:09 And I notice that the color is like a matte black It's like a dark gray black you know like a real flat color No shine to it whatsoever I didn't see any rivets. I didn't see any seams. So then I pull the tarp back from over the top so I could see the top of it because I wanted to see where the seats were. And, you know, I just wanted to see where you sat in this speedboat. That was totally solid.
Starting point is 00:15:37 I went, oh, my God, there's nowhere to sit. So I'm like, that's really weird. So I'm looking and I'm shining my light up in there. And there's no way. There's no, there's no door. There's no window. There's no seams. There's no rivets.
Starting point is 00:15:51 There's no screws. Nothing. This thing was solid. So then I go to the back. And the way it was shaped was, like, a teardrop. It was kind of fat in the back and kind of pointy in the front, but not pointy, but rounded pointy. If you kind of know what I mean, it didn't have like a boat point. It was kind of rounded, like a teardrop.
Starting point is 00:16:11 And then I pulled back the back part where the fat part was, and there was no engine. there was no exhaust outlet there was no doors there was no hatches there was nothing so that's weird so i'm looking at it and uh i'm baffled i'm sitting there looking at this thing going what the hell is this thing you know so i put the tarp back where it's supposed to be and i tighten the straps and i walk out and my buddy says to me that i'm standing here he's going in next i go that's no speedboat i've ever seen i don't know what it is so he walked in he comes in he comes up back about 10 minutes later and he says, I think it's a bomb. And I'm like, well, maybe, maybe it's a nuclear weapon that we don't know. And we knew all the nuclear weapons. We knew like, we knew each one.
Starting point is 00:16:58 And there was three or four of them like the B61, the B 43, you know, those. We knew those. Okay. But this we've never seen before, never saw this at all. So right around 0300, the captain rolls back in and he tells the sergeant that they are coming to get this. So we hear C-130 taxiing up to the front of the hangar, and we're standing there, and it taxis up, and then C-130 can move backwards. So the pilot actually can back it up a little bit, so they were backing up, and these guys get out. And they are literally with, they have long hair and beards, they have blue jeans on, boots, and body armor over their chest, and they're carrying MP5s.

Starting point is 00:19:19 That's kind of cool. So they start yelling at us to make a... perimeter around the airplane and it goes and face outwards and don't look back until we tell you it's okay so as we're setting up our perimeter i hear the one guy say to the other guy come on let's go let's get this fucking thing out of here so you know you have a sense of something moving behind you well you could you know we felt you know we knew they were moving this thing out and they winched this thing with the trailer and all into the back of the c130 and we heard the hydrologel lifting the door up and then they waved us away and they taxied away.
Starting point is 00:19:59 The weird thing about the C-130 is it was an Air Force C-130, which is kind of weird because we're a Marine Corps base. So I don't know. We get ready to leave. The captain puts us in formation and this is what he says. He says, do not tell anybody what you saw tonight or what you didn't see tonight. What you guarded tonight was a speedboat. Don't tell anybody, you know, just if you talk amongst yourself, it was a speedboat. And then he looked like he was going to say something else. And he kind of looked at us. He looked down. He looked to the side and we were waiting for his next words. And then he just looked at us and took a breath and goes dismissed. And he walked off. We got back in the van. He got in the van and it was a quiet ride home.
Starting point is 00:20:49 Recently, and when I say recently, I mean maybe five, six years ago, I finally talked to that one sergeant. I found him on Facebook. And I got a hold of him. And I said, hey, man, how you doing? We're chit-chatting about what we did in our career. And I, for some reason, the Marine Corps never left me out of the nuclear weapons field. I stayed in that damn field all the way to the end of my career. And I said, remember the speedboat?
Starting point is 00:21:14 And he goes, yeah, the speedboat. And I go, what do you think it was? He says, I don't freaking know, but you know what? It wasn't a damn speedboat. And I said, you know, I agree. And I kind of left it at that, you know? I left it go. And then recently, with the new F-18 videos of the Tic Tacs flying through the air,
Starting point is 00:21:38 I saw the video and I'm like, holy crap, that's kind of what I saw. You know, the video of that little thing moving, I'm like, as could it be, you know? Then they said about how it went in the water and it came out of the water. I'm like, holy crap. You know? So that's when I started thinking, you know? And I said, you know, I've been hiding this story all my life. You know, I'm still afraid that if I say it to the wrong people, you know, I'm waiting for the knock at the door, you know.
Starting point is 00:22:09 But I don't want to, I'm 61 years old. I don't want to die with this lie. You know, I just want someone else to know about it. And that's my story. So what I thought it was, at the time, I didn't think it was anything, I didn't think it was anything like a flying saucer. No, I did not. Because back then, you got to remember, this is 85. I'm thinking it was like, because flying saucers were like silver discs like what you expect to see a flying saucer, right?
Starting point is 00:22:38 So in our mind, our little Lance Corporal minds, 22 year old kid, we're looking at it as maybe, you know, like a bomb. You know, I thought it was maybe a bomb. My buddy thought it was a bomb. You know, that's kind of what we thought. We never thought it was a flying craft because there's no, there's no exhaust ports. There was no engine. So of course, you're not going to say, oh, that's, that's a UAP because there was no such thing back then. So that's what we thought it was the whole time. Why they told us it was a speedboat? Hell, I don't know. Maybe that guy came up with it at the last minute and just does what he said, you know. But that's my story. Anyway, so I just want to thank you. And, you know, I just hope you can use this story. So when I was, I guess, five years old, I think I moved, maybe it was four when I moved to Venezuela for a year. And we looked up on a hill surrounding country.
Starting point is 00:23:54 It was a ritzie neighborhood, to be honest. We were just renting there, but, you know, there were like a couple of generals on our street. Yet, all the houses had, they were all walled off, and they had like spiked, metal spikes coming out of the walls to make sure nobody could climb over it. And then the ritzier places, ritzier than what we lived in, and had, had, something that really struck me, which was broken bottles in between the spikes, just to make it even harder, you know, because the spikes weren't really that big, big a disincentive to somebody trying to climb in, but getting a lot of broken glass might be. Anyway, this is the first time that I can remember nighttime walks, which were a thing that our family tended to do. Now, I don't know
Starting point is 00:24:56 when I was younger if we did any, but the place we were in that we were renting didn't have like a yard or anything like that. Where we moved from before that had a, you know, a couple of acres of yards so we could like walk around in our own fields and whatnot. after dinner or something. And there wasn't really, like, the road there was kind of like a little highway type thing. One of the little too lean country highways. And, but in Venezuela, you know, it was a populist area. So what we ended up, you know, doing was after dinner most nights, we would go for a walk.
Starting point is 00:25:47 and we'd go for a walk a little further up the hill and there'd be this beautiful panoramic view of the whole city all the light sparkling and everything like gems was something my dad used to really like to see and you know
Starting point is 00:26:04 it would be kind of dark at that end of the hill and he would often see shooting stars there and you could see a lot of a lot of the stars a lot more than I can see here. But anyway, one of those nights, I mean, we had our dog and our cat with us,
Starting point is 00:26:26 and that was part of it, was the dog had to go for a walk, and he couldn't just be allowed to run free in a city. Our dog would, you know, be on a leash and be traveling with us. But the cat would follow us for a couple of blocks, and then she would just sit down
Starting point is 00:26:44 and wait until we came back. But the dog would come with us And I know that we took a right-hand turn At some point You know, there's not, my memories of the layout and everything aren't perfect, but we took a right-hand turn onto another residential street On our walk, at least on this one night. And soon after that, and I'm not sure of the
Starting point is 00:27:16 order of these things. But our dog and other dogs started barking. And either just before or just after that, my father noticed that there was something in the sky. We looked
Starting point is 00:27:31 up and there was a orange glowing globe. I mean, it's night down, right? It looked kind of like a harvest moon, except it was overhead, not at the horizon where a harvest would be.
Starting point is 00:27:50 And it descended not terribly rapidly. And as this was happening, people started coming out into the street. Meena, meena, meena, you know, just all shouting to look. And, you know, there had to be at least a dozen people who noticed this.
Starting point is 00:28:11 When it got to its lowest point, whatever that was, and it didn't seem very close and there was no noise, no, no, we didn't, nothing going on. It was huge, okay? It took up, I don't know how much. Like, part of me wants to say like half the sky, but I'm not absolutely certain of that, but, you know, on a conservative estimate, it was blotting out like a quarter of the sky that I could see just standing outside
Starting point is 00:28:49 you know nothing I'm scared and it was just this orange I want to say sphere but I don't know a disc essentially like I could see an orange circle like when you look at the moon right it's what it looked like it looked like
Starting point is 00:29:06 the fucking moon except there were no markings on it or anything and it was relatively like there was a glow to it like there is with the moon. I mean, it's as if somebody had like taken the moon and done something really ridiculous with it and put it overhead, you know, and then brought it closer, which obviously nothing like that could happen.
Starting point is 00:29:28 And it just sort of stopped lowering at some point or getting bigger or whatever it did. And then it just shot off and accelerated really rapidly out, you know, over the city, I think. And that was it. And I remember, you know, my parents trying to look in the papers, look on the news, see if there was anything about it. There was no reports about it that we were aware of. We didn't know the people on that street, and I don't think we made any attempt to contact them and ask what was going on.
Starting point is 00:30:06 Among other things, Venezuela was not, didn't feel like a safe place, right? like, you know, there were soldiers who were direct, you know, when traffic needed to be directed, there were people who looked like soldiers carrying submachine guns and they'd be waving traffic with their machine gun. And one time I was playing on a tank in a park, you know, just, it was like a monument or something. And a couple of guys with submachine guns came and were like,
Starting point is 00:30:42 you have to get off the tank. But they said it in Spanish. But, yeah, it felt so different. And, you know, there were reports of these guys accidentally shooting themselves or other people, you know. So they weren't really careful with those guns that they were waving around. Anyway, there was just sort of this feeling of,
Starting point is 00:31:03 well, it's best we don't ask around or, you know, try to get any information because things were not, didn't feel safe to us. At least, you know, that's the impression I got from it. And there was just nothing in the news. And my speculations about it, you know, I mean, there's ideas like mass hallucination, right? Which, it's a known thing. Maybe that's what happened.
Starting point is 00:31:37 if that is what it was I have to say for my little five-year-old brain at the time I can't think of you know there's nothing to lead me to believe that you know
Starting point is 00:31:53 if you can't trust what you see in that sort of way what can you do it didn't seem like any kind of any kind of reasonable military type thing, you know, it's
Starting point is 00:32:09 possible that was a time when Venezuela was not, the government was not entirely unfriendly to Americans. The people were not friendly to Americans. They saw the foreign interventions and whatnot, the financial ones primarily, as
Starting point is 00:32:25 being problematic. And so there was a lot of like, you know, get out of here we want our own oil, you know, type of feeling to the situation, which of This was what led to things later. But it didn't seem like a military thing.
Starting point is 00:32:44 It didn't seem like a weather balloon. For one thing, it was fucking huge. And the other is that movement away, that felt like a directed movement, not like a balloon would do. And it was just so fast. It was just, it was really, and it's not like it deflated,
Starting point is 00:33:07 or anything like that. It just, whom! You know? In later years, I can remember my mom asking me if I remembered
Starting point is 00:33:19 what happened. And I'm like, yeah, I think so, you know, and I told her what I remembered of it. And she may have told me other things,
Starting point is 00:33:29 and that may be infecting my memory or whatever. I know that on our way back, after we had gotten back to America, my parents, managed to contact some members of the crew of the ship that we went over to Venezuela for some reason or another. I mean, it was just like, you know, they had kept in contact or something.
Starting point is 00:33:54 It was a weird, we were on a weird kind of ship. It was like essentially a freighter, but it carried some passengers. It was very nice accommodations for passengers, but there weren't a lot of us. and great food and all kind of stuff. It was sort of the cheapest way for us to move all our shit. I don't know, you know, like I said, we contacted some of the people who were on the ship that we traveled over on.
Starting point is 00:34:26 And what they kind of had to say was, you know, each of us has seen some pretty fucking weird shit while we were sailing around in the Caribbean. And maybe they hadn't seen what, We had seen anything like that, but they had seen some pretty fucking weird shit in the sky. And it was kind of like, yeah, that's just, you know, that's just the way things are. Kind of. And I don't know if they were pulling our legs or what.
Starting point is 00:34:56 I don't think I was there for it anyway. And again, I would still be pretty young at this point. It wasn't long after we got back to America. we ended up in contact with them. And that's all I have, you know. But short of something like a mass hallucination event, as far as I'm concerned, I know I saw something, I have no fucking clue what it is,
Starting point is 00:35:26 and I still can't really tell. You know, which is totally different. So my first wife, when she was in Buffalo, she was with her mom, and they saw something they were like wow what the hell is that looks like a UFO or something turned out it was like
Starting point is 00:35:44 one of the stealth bombers or something like that before they were known about but this didn't look like it didn't look like a vehicle it didn't look like a plane or anything like that it looked like the
Starting point is 00:36:01 fucking moon coming down and I try to think if there's any way that like a weather balloon or something could look that big and that's smooth, right? Like, and glowing. Glowing. And that just doesn't seem likely to me. But anyway, I figured I'd give you what little I saw because it is kind of a weird thing.
Starting point is 00:36:39 I don't know if anybody else who's seen that. You know, a lot of people have seen things in the sky that are fucked up and weird. This was, you know, you hear some of the UFO sightings and stuff, and they're like things like a set of lights traveling in formation or something. I'm like, geez, if I saw that, like I know there was a set of lights over Phoenix, that caused a big brouhaha. I regularly saw lights like that over Phoenix because I was near the airport.
Starting point is 00:37:18 The planes were just, they looked very similar to that kind of thing. Obviously, people could tell it some sort of difference. But this just seems weird, you know? That's all. Anyway, that's all I got to say. Somewhere in the Skies is produced by Third Kind Productions in association with the Entertainment One podcast network.
