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 Unexplained.

Thank you very much for all of your thoughts and feedback. Please keep it coming. You can go to the website, the Unexplained.tv, designed by Adam from Creative Hotspot in Liverpool, and send me your thoughts about this show.

I'm not going to do shoutouts, but I'm going to reference one email just before we get to the guest this time. Great guest, Michael Tellinger returns with lots to tell you, so you've got to listen to Michael inside Africa.

He is a remarkable guy. You may agree with him, you may not, but you will certainly want to hear him. That's for sure.

An email that I got this morning that was really, really dispiriting.

But, you know, I need to get feedback. I've asked for feedback, so I can't be surprised when I get feedback.

And I never thought that I was God's gift to broadcasting, and I always think that I need to learn more and be better.

That's what's driven me for my entire life. So this morning I got an email from Randy Eckhart in the US, I believe, telling me basically that my Travis Walton interview was garbage, because I kept interrupting the man.

And all the rest of it. Now we have had this out before, and I do admit that sometimes my enthusiasm will carry me away, and I'm so keen to get to the point or refine the conversation or make sure that we stay on track.

Or sometimes the digital technology has a time lag, and it sounds like you're interrupting when you're not.

You may say excuses excuses, but Randy Eckhart said that particular interview, which was actually taken. I do take a very few items from my radio show that I think you want to hear here.

It was taken from my radio show when we were under time, pressure to get to the news, so I had to get the story out there.

Randy Eckhart said that it sounded desperate. I sounded desperate. And really that was never the intention.

And I'm sorry if I gave anybody that impression. I've had some very good feedback on the Travis Walton show, but I think you were a little harsh there, Randy.

But I'm going to take on board what you said as I take on board what everybody says. And look, Travis Walton was a brilliant guest. I'd like to talk with him again.

And I want to have more time for him next time. I think Travis Walton puts a very credible story and his whole demeanor, I think, is very calm.

And for my two cents worth, sounds very credible. So there I am saying what I believe about this, until I hear evidence that it's all a complete fake.

And some people have tried to tell me that that's the case. I'm going to take on board a lot of what Travis Walton had to say because I think it is an amazing story.

And do we think such things happen? I think they probably do and probably have. But then, you know, I may well be wrong. I've spent a lot of my life being wrong about things. So I might be wrong about that.

But I loved Travis Walton as a guest. And I'm really sorry one particular person. And then there might well be others felt that way about it.

So, you know, I'm going to note everything that was said there. But the difference between this show and some other shows, as I said, I think in the last edition,

is that you get some podcasts where the host comes on and says, I've got this particular guest here. Thank you very much for coming on my show.
