Back in March, listener Yolanda contacted me;
"How about an episode on a strange substance known as star jelly, also called astral jelly, star rot, or star shot."
Well I'd never heard of this mysterious gloop, so decided to do a bit of research. This episode focusses on what little we know about so called Star Jelly, which many believe to be an extraterrestrial substance deposited after meteor showers and even UFO encounters.

40 years ago something strange happened on a school playing field in Broad Haven, Wales in the United Kingdom.
A group of young school children spotted what they believed to be a space ship and spaceman near their playground.
But this wasn't a one-off sighting. Their claims came at a time of a wave of sightings in the area in 1977, leading it to be know as the Dyfed Triangle.
In this episode we explore the mysterious Broad Haven UFO.

The mysterious footprints, which appeared overnight in heavy snowfall in South Devon in 1855, have never been adequately explained.
According to reports, they stretched for over one hundred miles, and went through solid walls and haystacks, appearing on the other side as though there was no barrier.
The cloven hoof like prints struck fear into the local communities, as it was believed the prints belonged to the devil himself, who had visited South Devon in search of sinners.
This strange phenomena still remains an unexplained mystery.
