Across the UK, across continental North America, and around the world, on the internet, by webcast, and by podcast, my name is Howard Hughes, and this is the return of the unexplained.

Lot of shoutouts and a great guest to get to in this edition, but before I do anything, I'd just like to say that, for reasons that you will have read them, heard about in the news,

my heart goes out to the people of Manchester, after the recent terror attack, that's claimed innocent young lives, just people, families, young people going to a concert in the city.

And this is what the modern world has brought us to, and it's enormously sad, you know, I'm from Liverpool, and that's just down the road from Manchester, we are friendly rivals, but when something like this happens, we all come together, and my heart goes out to you.

And you know, I hope there will come a time in our lives when such things do not happen.

Okay, let's get on to shoutouts, and then a very special guest, a man who witnessed one of the most remarkable UFO encounters ever.

A man who was piloting a plane, a passenger plane, and saw something astonishing, I've been trying for 10 years to get him on this show, he's on this edition.

Shoutouts first, Alex in Albuquerque, very much liked one of our recent shows, made nice comparisons with Art Bell, thank you very much for that Alex, that is very, very kind of you.

Sasha, if you'd like to tell me the story on this show, the one that you emailed me, I would be keen to hear from you.

Thank you for your thoughts about the Garrett Graf and Leslie Cain shows, by the way, Sasha.

Mandy says, I'm in Brisbane, Australia, listen to your podcasts at work, 289 with Tricia Robertson was fantastic, it was like listening to two people having a chat over coffee.

That's kind, Mandy, that is what we always aim to do, and we can't always as broadcasters do it, but that's so kind.

Marty says, Captain Randy Kramer, is he a cipher? Is he a disinformation agent? Well, that is a question you are posing.

Mike in Texas, though, says finally, congratulations, you had someone on your podcast who's a real whistle blower, you still need to get cori good on.

Liam loves the show, says I'm a high school teacher in Tricia, listening to your show for three years, I think it's great, thank you for that.

I would give you an A star for your interviewing. That's very kind, thank you.

And you tell me about the nuclear bunker that people can now visit at Hack Green, the enantwitch, I remember that place.

Kelly in Kansas says, couldn't listen to your episode with Garrett Graf, trashed it after a few minutes, the USA people are getting a lot of spin these days, says Kelly.

Michael Fenemore, Garrett Graf is incredibly ignorant about 9-11, and Evan says, Michael, he is not a worthwhile guest.

Okay, thanks, Michael, for your comment. Stephen says great shows as usual, you need to get starfire tour on.

Thank you, Stephen. Ed in Sierra Vista, Arizona, thank you for your email.

Brad Brewster in the US says, I recently started listening to several of your podcasts and have thoroughly enjoyed them all.
