Across the UK, across Continental North America, and around the world on the internet by webcasts and by podcast, my name is Howard Hughes and this is The Unexplained.

The rain is still pounding against my window here in London Town. I don't know what on earth is going on but it would be nice one of these days, even though we had plenty of it during the summer just to see the sun.

Just, you know, just a little really weird weather but you may share my experience of this. Thank you very much for all the emails, keep the email coming, go to my website The Unexplained.tv, you can send me an email from there.

If you've made a donation to help this show keep going recently, you can do that on the website The Unexplained.tv by the way. Thank you very, very much for doing that if you have and please if you haven't, please consider doing that.

And thank you very much for all of the involvement I'm getting now with my official Facebook page The Unexplained with Howard Hughes. If you haven't been there yet, then please go there, you can find out news about the show.

I'll keep in touch with you that way and you can keep in touch with with what I'm doing that way too. Seems to be working. So it's something that I resisted doing or didn't do for years and I've now been doing all of this here.

And you know what people were telling me that Facebook is an effective way of communicating, you know, seems to be true. So, you know, I take I take back everything I said I said I'm not going to do that.

You know, we're going to do this show without social media in 2019. You just can't. The guest on this edition, we're going to go to Australia near Brisbane, Mary Rodwell, a British person living in Australia.

We're going to talk about her work with alien contactees and abductees around 3000 of them so far and also the children who appear to be coming here with a background from somewhere that is not this planet.

Fascinating stories, you make of them what you will and let me know. Mary Rodwell is the guest on this edition and as I say, thank you very much for all of your communications. It's nice to hear from you and I always can use guest suggestions, thoughts about the show anything else like this as you may be able to hear.

The remnants of that flu are still sitting on my chest, but I seem to be getting there. So if you are now in the in the part of the cycle where you're just coming down with this thing, wherever you are, my sympathies are definitely with you, but it's one of those things that tends to hang on for some reason.

I don't know. I'm going to keep taking the Manuka honey and the vitamin C and we'll see where we get. Okay, let's get to very near Brisbane Australia and speak with Mary Rodwell about her work with contactees.

Mary, thank you very much for coming on my show. It's an absolute pleasure, Howard. Now in the introduction to this, I said you were in Australia just so that our listeners can get a picture of where you might be, where are you located?

Central Queensland, which is the lower end of the where the great barrier reef is. So it's subtropical here. Yes, and it's pretty much like that all year, isn't it?

In central Queensland, it certainly is even in the wintertime. We don't normally go below about 20 degrees C.

Now you know, speaking as one bridge to another bridge, why did you leave us?

Well, weather was a very big factor. I was fed up of hibernating most of the year and you know, as you get older, you become less tolerant of the weather.

So that was a big factor, but also I wanted to give my children an experience of a different culture and you know, the sense of living perhaps a little bit more outside than inside.

So it was a combination of things. I call it my midlife crisis really.

Well, I can listen, I agree with a lot of things you say about the weather and being able to be outdoors more is a fantastic thing, but mind you, our weather is changing here in the UK.

We had quite a hot summer, but that's a whole other story. One of the things that living in the place that you live, and I know this because I did a radio show from not very far from there once for a week, and appreciated this for myself, is that you have very clear skies.

I guess that's very good if you were looking and I'm not saying that you do do that if you were looking for anomalous things in the skies.
