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.

And I've got to tell you and recording this, on a sultry evening that feels like something from June in the deep south of the USA.

I almost expect to hear like lines from Tennessee Williams appearing in my head.

It is very heart and close and very sticky. One of the things that has happened in the UK, quite often over the last few years we've come really quickly out of spring and we've been thrown head long into a humid summer.

And even though the temperature at the moment is not really that hot, it's maybe what low 70s Fahrenheit, 23 maybe centigrade, it's humid with it.

And that makes it really hard and the heat and humidity lingers in my little apartment. But I'm dealing with it. Let's put it that way.

Thank you very much for all of your emails. Please know as ever, I'm getting more emails than I've ever had on the unexplained, which is wonderful. Thank you for them from every part of the world.

I get to see every email and if your email requires me to do something, then I will do it like reply. But if you don't get a reply from me, please remind me after a little while. I'm absolutely snowed under at the moment, which is a nice situation to be in.

And thank you so much for all of your support through these difficult times one way and another.

Now, what else have I got to do? Thank you very much to Adam for his hard work on getting shows out to you and for maintaining the website, the unexplained.tv and also my Facebook page, the official Facebook page of the unexplained with how it used.

One of the things that we have discussed recently on my social media is the future of the unexplained radio show.

And all I can tell you here is that as far as I am aware, the unexplained will continue on the radio. But of course, if anything happens with the show that suggests that it may not continue, I will tell you on my social media, on my Facebook page, on these podcasts and in the various portals that I have.

But that's all I know for now. And thank you very much for supporting me. My Saturday show came to an end recently, but they tell me that the Sunday show continues, which is good news. So we'll keep plugging away at that.

And I will keep you informed on those things, of course. And thank you again for your support.

Okay. I don't think I've got anything else to say. I'll say, thank you very much to Haley for booking the guests on the online show.

And first up, because we have had a lot of talk about UFOs lately in the light of that report that is about as I record these words to be delivered in Washington, and which in recent days has been leaked that suggests that they can not exactly confirm and not exactly deny the existence of aliens or alien craft in our skies.

You know, they might be some kind of strange technology from this earth. They may be from somewhere else. The leaked findings of the report, as we have them at the moment, don't seem to take us any further on.

But if you remember, Louis Elizondo, when he appeared on this show recently said that he felt that the report would be in many ways preliminary and that there would be more to discover. So we'll watch this.

But before we get to the main guest on this edition, who was one of Art Bell's stalwarts, and I'm delighted to get on this show, Darryl Sims, the alien hunter.

I want you to hear Nick Pope recorded a couple of days ago for my radio show, and this is just a few minutes of Nick with his reaction to the leaked findings from that report.

So this is Nick Pope, ex- Ministry of Defense UFO man.

It's mixed messages, and I think that reflects two things. Firstly, the ongoing confusion about this whole phenomenon within the US government, and the associated confusion about how to handle this.
