Happy Mondays' leader Shaun Ryder had an extraterrestrial experience when he was in his teens, and he's been fascinated with UFOs ever since. Last year Ryder traveled around the world investigating aliens and extraterrestrials and he brought along a camera crew. The resulting reality series, Shaun Ryder on UFOs, aired on the History Channel in the UK and Europe. Unfortunately, the series hasn't (yet) been picked up in North America, but the first episode is available to view below thanks to You Tube. Three other episodes are also on You Tube, however they include Spanish overdubs.
Fans of Happy Mondays should also check out the Guardian's feature on the band's classic track "Kinky Afro" here.
