"This is Ben Hammond bringing you Wierd and Wild, the all-night show which has everyone talking." Hammond caught his producer's expression, and gritted his teeth. Never mind the station's polling, he knew there was a big audience out there every night. "We're chatting to Danny Rye about night lights. So Danny, tell us what happened next."
"Sure, Mr Hammond. Me and my brother were walkin' along the railroad tracks past the old factory. It was late at night. I know because we could hear owls and stuff."
"The dark would have been a clue." (Read more) Ben Hammond runs Wierd and Wild, a nightly radio show. There's $50,000 to be won, a prize for the first caller who can prove they had a UFO encounter. So far, the money has never been claimed ...

"The dark would have been a clue."
"Eh?"
"Go on, go on."
"Well, there was this light, low and coming up fast. We jumped out the way and it roared past. When we stood up again it was gone."
"Most interesting."
"Do I get the prize?"
"No, you don't get the prize. That was the weakest UFO story I've heard in my entire six years at this station."

Review by: Jamie Wilson on July 29, 2012 :
This is a short story about a radio talk show host who gets caught up in his own game. He's out to debunk UFO stories, but one night his show goes awry.
I really enjoyed this story. It was well written, and engaging. I can't wait to explore more works by this author!
