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.

But before I say anything about the show, or reflect on what's going on in this world of ours, what I must do is say thank you to the at least 200 of you so far, most of you I will never meet.

Who've been so kind following the death of my dad? It's been, as I know that you appreciate, and some of you have said such kind things.

It's been a very difficult couple of weeks, one way or another. We had my dad's funeral in Southport, not far from Liverpool a week ago, and I managed to be able to speak there, because he was such a big character, and such a good dad, I really had to.

And even though I found it daunting, although I'm used to broadcasting, that's a completely different experience, but it was a beautiful day, the weather was perfect, and we gave him as good a send-off as you could.

And some of his old police colleagues were there in one day. I'll sit here and I'll talk to you about some of the things that he did in that amazing life.

You know, when I look back on my life when that time comes, there's not going to be as much in the way of content in my story as there was in his.

So thank you so much for the great kindness and the understanding that you have shown at this time.

Now, the last show, which is now what about five or six weeks ago, a Chris Putnam exoVeticada?

I knew that the subject will be very controversial, and indeed I was right. A lot of you did not like what you heard, and I can understand why I'm not.

And I can understand why you didn't. Some of you did, and some of you wanted to hear more. There were a few emails I got saying that this was clearly an attack on the Catholic Church from that kind of perspective.

I don't know if that was the case, but I hear what you say. And from my point of view, I think I was probably looking for a little bit more evidence, but we were promised further research and maybe another book.

So we might revisit at some point in the future, but I think it was worth talking to him and bear in mind that Chris Putnam and his writing partner Tom Horn have been featured on the likes of CNN and various other places recently.

So it's a subject that is interesting to explore, but I do understand that it evokes all kinds of reactions and reactions that come right down from your basis from your soul.

And some of you did react very firmly and let me know about that. But that's what the show is all about. All about reaction. It's been an interesting time here in the UK. We're now one and truly into the spring time, and it's sort of sunny. Now as I record these words, it's nice to be getting back to everything. Thank you to Adam Cornwell, my webmaster, at Creative Hotspot in Liverpool for keeping things taking over for keeping the website running and for getting that little message that I wanted to get out to you out.

If you want to go to the website, take a look at it, send me some email feedback, make a donation to the show, go to www.theunexplained.tv.

Just briefly before we get to the subject this time, which is a classic piece of ufology, and I think you're going to like the guest Kevin Goodman.

I'll tell you one story about something that happened to me around the time of my dad's death. I had been with him sitting with him as you do, and if you've been through this and a lot of us have, you'll know what this is like sitting with him at his hospital bedside.

For an entire weekend, really, with very little sleep, we felt that he was going to pass, but he didn't such a strong man he held on to life. So I drove back from Southport back home to London.

And the following weekend, he went through a crisis, and my sister was there at the time, and she went to be with him.

And at the time when they said he was fading fast and would probably ultimately die quite soon, I didn't know this, he was going into a crisis, it was two o'clock on a Sunday morning, and I woke up to see my father lying next to me.

Now this is an absolutely true story, and you hear these stories all the time, and I've been told these stories by many people, and I don't think unless it had happened to me, I would ever have believed it.
