Ryan sits down with Australian author and Somewhere in the Skies contributing writer, Violeta M. Bagia, for a deep dive into some of Australia’s most compelling and overlooked UFO cases. From the strange 1954 Dandenong saucer sighting and the terrifying 1988 Knowles family encounter to the controversial photographs of Eric Thomason, Violeta shares what she’s uncovered while digging through Australia’s UFO archives. They also explore alien abductions, the stigma still facing experiencers, and whether today’s government-driven UAP conversation has lost some of the mystery and wonder that once defined UFOlogy. Plus, Violeta previews the forgotten Australian cases she’ll be bringing to ANOMACON 2026.
