On episode 55 of SOMEWHERE IN THE SKIES, we welcome filmmaker, Dean Alioto to the show.

Dean Alioto is the creator of the mysterious and enigmatic UPN TV special\xa0Alien Abduction: Incident in Lake County\xa0(aka The McPherson Tape). For two decades, Alioto\u2019s TV special has generated conspiracies worldwide and has been studied by top experts in the field of UFOs and alien abductions. Alioto runs us through the trials and tribulations of creating the TV special and the reaction to it upon airing. In addition, Alioto also talks about the original video that the controversial TV special was based on. Known simply as, UFO Abduction, this video brought the house down at the 1993 International UFO Congress Convention with its shocking footage of a family being abducted by aliens.

Alioto and Ryan then dig deep into why so many people refuse to believe these two films were created instead of "found". Then Alioto runs us through a few of his favorite UFO cases. This is a jam-packed interview with the filmmaker who arguably created the entire "Found Footage" genre, almost ten years prior to The Blair Witch Project.
