While reports of UFOs and close encounters are littered with dates, times, and descriptions, they rarely focus on the people who’ve had the experience. Could both the positive and negative implications, whether subtle or revelatory, further our knowledge of what these phenomena represent? Ryan will share a handful of UFO encounters and close encounter experiences from his book, Somewhere in the Skies: A Human Approach to the UFO Phenomenon, and introduce you to those who had the experiences and how it changed their lives in many different ways.
