In 2011 and again in 2012, Shaun Ryder announced he was participating in a new History Channel series on UFOs, titled Shaun Ryder on UFOs. The series follows Ryder around the globe in search of UFOs, exploring the history of UFO sightings, and separating fact from fiction. Ryder says he's been interested in UFOs after spotting one when he was a teenager in 1978. According to a 2012 interview with NME, part of the reason he decided to participate in the program is to give UFOlogists a better image:
"The thing is, right, a lot of UFOlogists, are fucking up it mate, they’re fucking proper, proper up it, and they give it a bad name," says Ryder. "You know, some are not UFOlogists, just fucking raving bonkers, you know, they’re just absolute knobheads. Then you’ve got some that are really smart and intellectual, and you’ve got real scientists as well."
Though the program was originally slated to air in 2012, the series has been pushed back to 2013. Though no broadcast dates for Shaun Ryder on UFOs have been announced, it seems likely it'll premiere in the fall. Ryder has been posting UFO news updates on the show's official Facebook Page. Those interested in the program should give the page a 'like' to get updates on UFOs and the show.
