On episode 47 of SOMEWHERE IN THE SKIES, Ryan speaks with Bryce Zabel, television/film producer and writer. They discuss his recently released alternate history novel, Once There Was a Way: What if the Beatles Stayed Together?) We know The Beatles let it be, but what if they worked it out instead? It's a great new adventure full of twists and turns that never were, but might have been. Then, Zabel brings us down the fascinating trail he's traveled in the worlds of ufology and Hollywood and where they often intersect.

After his recent talk at the International UFO Congress, Zabel navigates the crazy maze of UFOs and where he stands on the way we perceive both the phenomena and the often divisive study of it. We then get a sneak peek at some of his UFO films and television projects in development, including exclusive news on a very well known actor who recently signed on to play a major role in one of the projects.
