Hi, my name is Alex Duncan. I'm the creator of Hovering and the voice of Kyle. Hovering has joined the Apollo plus podcast platform.

Hovering was created and recorded on the unceded lands of the Boonwarong, peoples of the Kulin nation, people who have a proud and incredible history of storytelling, stretching back thousands of years. This always was and always will be Aboriginal land. Emergency services, what service do you require? What's your emergency please? There's something in the sky. Sorry? Fire, police or ambulance? Um, all of them. Who do you need to speak to please? I need to speak to the Prime Minister.

Can you explain your situation slowly and clearly as best you can for me, and I'll be able to get you the help straight away? There's a thing in the sky, not low, but out above the water and shining, and it's been sitting there for about six minutes now. Not really moving, not making any sound. Actually, there's a buzz, but that's probably the blood in my ears, but yeah. Sorry, can I ask, how old are you? Is that important? Can you tell me how old you are please? I'm eleven. Is mum about? Oh!

I just, I need you to listen to me. I've got a telescope and I can see the surface and it's smooth, kind of green, light, I guess. I don't think it's green actually, it's metal, I mean not metal, it's not metal, but... All right darling, is there an adult there I can talk to? Mum! Mum! I can't! You have to believe me, there's a thing in the sky... I can't help you if I don't know what service you're after sweetheart, I'm doing the best I can. Police! Police! Give me the police!

All right, I've got a number here for Durham Police Station, I'll put you through right away. No, I need to talk to someone senior. I'm putting you through now. No, don't put me, it's getting louder! I can feel it! I can feel it inside my head! Hi, you've been listening to Hovering. You can support us by joining Apollo Plus through the Apollo Podcasts app or by going to ApolloPods.com. Thanks very much for listening.
