Somewhere in the Skies of Jersey
Hosted by Scott Shields · ENGLISH
Somewhere in the Skies of Jersey is a streaming radio show and podcast dedicated to covering the UFO/UAP phenomenon from a distinctly New Jersey perspective. The name is an homage to both the lyric "somewhere in the swamps of Jersey" from the classic Springsteen song, Rosalita, as well as the Lifetime song which took the lyric as its title. Host Scott Shields is a native New Jerseyan who's been following the phenomenon since childhood and finally feels confident enough to not only entertain these previously whispered conversations and speculations out loud, but to actually open them up to the rest of the world. Premiers at midnight every Friday on Radio Garden State, we invite you down the rabbit hole to explore the latest news and research about exactly what IS going on somewhere in the skies of Jersey.

Episode 007: The Killing of an Alien in the Pine Barrens, 1978
2w ago00:47:09Tap to summarizeOn the night of January 18, 1978, a dozen UFOs were spotted on radar over Joint Base McGuire-Dix-Lakehurst in Burlington County, New Jersey. One of these craft broke off and either landed or crashed at Fort Dix. An MP assigned to check it out got much more than he bargained for. We dig into multiple reports from this event, including the official New Jersey State Police incident report.

2w ago00:51:51Tap to summarizeThis entire episode is designed to act as the first part of the Skies of Jersey UFO Primer. Rather than examining the latest headlines, we go back to the back to the earliest days of the modern phenomenon, giving listeners a quick need-to-know briefing on some of the events you've probably heard of, but may not have know much more about. From UFO crashes like Magenta, Italy, Trinity, New Mexico, and Kingman, Arizona to the 1947 wave of mass sightings, from constructs like the Legacy Program to the Collins Elite, this is the first part of a series of east-to-understand backgrounders on some key topics in ufology.
Transcribe →Episode 005: Back Into The Tranches
4w ago00:51:13Tap to summarizeBack Into The Tranches! No, not the trenches - the tranches. Specifcally, the Pentagon's fourth tranch of declassified UFO/UAP documents. We cover the transcript of the 1948 Los Alamos Conference on Aerial Phenomenon, featuring Dr. Edward Teller and Dr. Lincoln LaPaz discussing the wave of anomalyous green fireballs seen by thousands at the time, along with a 1947 sighting right here in West Trenton. And yes, we even ask what's up with James Franco and his backyard alien sighting.
Transcribe →Episode 004: Roswell Week
Jul 1100:44:50Tap to summarizeWe recorded our fourth episode on the 79th anniversary of the Roswell crash, July 8, 2026. We talk about Roswell in the context of the current disclosure moment, some absurd predictions that have been bandied about this summer on the UFO/UAP front, the recent admission that the Pentagon is indeed developing and deploying smaller battlefield directed energy weapons after denying their existence, and listen to a July 4th transmission between air traffic control and a NetJets flight over New Jersey that experienced a near miss with "a silver metalic vessel" right here in the skies of Jersey.
Transcribe →Episode 003: Orbs, Fireballs, and Plasmoids... Oh My!
Jul 400:40:07Tap to summarizeFor our July 4th episode, we dig into some wild sightings of a few of our favorite classes of UFOs. You like metalic orbs? We got 'em! We take a look at both the Betz sphere to the Buga sphere. You like plasma orbs and fireballs? We've got those too, with an examination of a late 2024 video from right here in Toms River. And Chris Smith, who Represents Toms River in Congress has recently introduced an amendment to the 2027 National Defense Authorization Act demanding a full, unclassified report on what the US Government knows about the 2024 drone flap. We also look into reports of a jellyfish drone swarm being present for the take down of a US F-15 over Iran. Any relation to the jellyfish-style UAP already associated with West Asia? Listen in for our thoughts!
Transcribe →Episode 002: Wanaque '66
Jun 2700:33:44Tap to summarizeFor our second episode, we took a deep dive into the waters of the Wanaque Reservoir for an examination of the January 1966 UFO mass sighting at and around the reservoir. This story has it all – saucers, orbs, tic-tacs, Project Blue Book, rapid excelleration, and impossible maneuvers. We sample from a 2021 presentation given by local historian Richard Moon at the Wanaque Public Library, and if you'd like to watch that in its entirety, you can do so here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=evBQkgV6iKo&t=3223s
Transcribe →Episode 001: An Introduction and an Overview
Jun 2000:54:32Tap to summarizeThe debut episode of Radio Garden State's first ever show dedicated to the UFO ohenomenon, Somwhere in the Skies of Jersey. We introduce the show and review the first three Pursue program drops from the Pentagon and discuss the Leslie Kean and James Fox-organized press conference on the steps of the Capitol Building featuring some eye-opening new details from David Grusch about the nature of the beings that the US Government is aware of having been active here on Earth.
