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.

Thanks again for keeping the faith with the show, thank you for your messages.

And for your good feedback on recent editions of the show, I'm always looking for your suggestions for guests on the show.

And you might remember that at the back end of the last edition of the show, I floated an idea.

And it was an idea based on something that I did on the radio when I was doing the radio show.

On a few of the editions, we just open the lines and asked for your paranormal stories, ghost stories, UFO stories, whatever.

And those shows absolutely rocked.

We did really well with them. I was very scared of doing that kind of thing, but I just went with it.

And I was glad that I did. So I want to try and do something here similar.

Now, of course, it's not a live show, and that has advantages as well as disadvantages.

This is a recorded show, but it means that you can email me with your details about your story.

Perhaps you had a close encounter. Maybe you've been abducted. Maybe you had a horrendous ghost experience that you could tell me about.

I think most people in most families have come across these things, and they're the tales that you tell privately amongst the family.

Maybe it Christmas time or other times where everybody gets together, but you don't tell anybody else.

Now is your chance to tell the world on the unexplained. It is an opportunity.

And I would love to hear from you. And before I even punted and floated that idea, I had an email from Stephen.

And I'll tell you his story. And this is the kind of thing we're looking for.

Okay. Stephen says, my self and a friend were playing football. We were kids on a field opposite the house that we lived in a part of stock port, which is Cheshire.

South Manchester, really, in the UK. For some reason, I looked up and spotted two white objects very high at aeroplane altitude.

They appeared to have come from behind a white cloud.

And a few seconds later, two more appeared and then another two and then another two until they were eight flying information going in and out of the clouds.

Eventually, they disappeared, but it was an amazing experience.
