Shaun described how he had first seen a UFO when he was 15-years-old, while he was a delivery boy, “long before my encounters with hallucinogenics…”

He also said that in 2013, it happened again.

A big wobbly thing

“I looked out into my back garden and over my apple tree, there’s this big… when I say big I mean 20ft by 10ft plastic Airfix-looking wobbly thing,” Shaun continued.

“That looked like it was hanging there on strings because it was moving like that [mimes movement].”

He added that he thought the production crew of a documentary he had recently filmed had been mucking about.

Shaun explained: “So I’m slapping meself stupid… y’know… ‘what’s this?’

“I’m watching this and it’s there wobbling about.”

He then said it started to “produce cloud” and give off a “buzz of energy”.

How did viewers react to Shaun on This Morning?

If Phil’s face was a picture while Shaun was telling his stories, that was nothing to the viewers at home.

One used a gif of Barack Obama looking confused to illustrate their point. They wrote: “This segment. Love Shaun.”

Another wrote: “Only on #thismorning could you have a segment about endometriosis followed by Shaun Ryder and the aliens.”

A third said: “Shaun Ryder is the guest expert we never knew we needed [cry-laugh emoji].”

Finally one viewer commented: “Somewhere, on an alien planet, the extra-terrestrial equivalents of Holly and Phil are interviewing some of their own kind about the time they encountered Shaun Ryder.

“And none of their viewers can quite believe it either.”
