According to a lot of sources, Hulme Park in Manchester was once home to an official UFO landing site – welcoming extraterrestrials from across the galaxy to this Manchester neighbourhood. But why, where exactly was it… and what happened to it?!!?!?!?

This time I am visiting the evacuated Scottish island of St. Kilda. St. Kilda, Scotland was inhabited for centuries, but in 1930, all that changed when the remaining 36 islanders asked to be evacuated and a unique way of life was lost forever.
Getting to St. Kilda can be a bit of a challenge as it’s the most remote part of the British Isles and faces extreme weather conditions. St Kilda boat trips which run during the summer months from The Isle of Skye or the Outer Hebrides to Hirta are often cancelled or rescheduled.
The evacuation of St. Kilda is a fascinating story and these days the islands are managed by the National Trust for Scotland. St. Kilda is also a dual-staus UNESCO world heritage site.

What Makes This Scottish Island the Strangest on Earth
For 4,000 years, a community thrived on St Kilda — Britain’s most remote inhabited island — where 430-meter sea cliffs tower above the Atlantic, higher than anywhere else in the UK. Children learned to climb vertical rock faces before they could walk, hunting seabirds that provided 90% of their diet. Their isolation was so extreme that visitors literally made them sick.
This documentary reveals the extraordinary survival story of the St Kildans: the 1727 smallpox catastrophe that killed two-thirds of the population while eleven men survived nine months trapped on a vertical sea stack, the unique stone “cleits” found nowhere else on Earth, and the dignified evacuation of the final 36 residents on August 29, 1930, ending millennia of habitation in a single morning.
Today, St Kilda stands as Scotland’s only dual UNESCO World Heritage Site — proof that Scottish geography created survival challenges found nowhere else in Britain. Extreme enough to sustain a unique civilization for 4,000 years, extreme enough to ultimately prove incompatible with the modern world.
Discover why this windswept archipelago 65 kilometers west of the Outer Hebrides remains the strangest island on Earth.
