Unexplained sightings have puzzled Greater Manchester for decades – from glowing lights darting across the Pennines to strange shapes hovering silently over city rooftops.
Once taken seriously enough to warrant a dedicated desk at the Ministry of Defence, official investigations into unidentified aerial phenomena have since been shut down. But the questions remain for some: are we alone, and is someone keeping secrets?
In this podcast episode, we explore Manchester’s long history with the unexplained. We speak to UFO researcher and author of the Strange Britain series Adrian Finney, who sheds light on the eerie stories and sightings rooted in our region – and why public fascination is far from fading.
We also hear from a firm believer who argues the government isn’t telling us everything, and shares why they’re convinced we’ve only scratched the surface of the truth.
