History UK's website describes the new show "Shaun Ryder on UFOs":
Join us as we follow Shaun Ryder of the Happy Mondays as he embarks on an extra-terrestrial adventure, taking him from the mountains of Chile to the fields and forests of England.
Convinced from an early age that UFOs exist after spotting one in the sky above his house in Salford, Shaun sets off on a quest to find out the truth. Along the way he scans more than just the sky, speaking to experts and witnesses, academics and abductees, sceptics and believers in an attempt to get to the bottom of their stories and separate fact from fantasy.
One of the UFO researchers Ryder meets on this quest is "Open Minds" contributing writer Antonio Huneeus, as seen in the teaser video below: Your browser does not support iframes.
Following his investigation for the upcoming four-part series, Ryder is convinced that people have been abducted by UFOs. According to "Digital Spy", it was meeting alleged abductee Travis Walton that convinced him.

Ryder explained, "I believe Travis was abducted absolutely... Travis looked like he had post-traumatic stress or had just walked out of a Vietnam battlefield. He looked grey and it really affected him."
Ryder's investigations also convinced him that governments are concealing information about UFOs and extraterrestrials. He said, "Governments are definitely hiding stuff. I mean I know they are. It's a fact. I think it's because they really think they are doing us a favor."
"Shaun Ryder on UFOs" premieres Sunday, November 10 on History UK.
