Aaron Rodgers bizarrely claims he saw a UFO before 2005 NFL Draft on the New York Jets’ season…

New York Jets quarterback Aaron Rodgers claimed he experience a UFO sighting in 2005. 

Rodgers, 39, said he was at former Cal teammate Steve Levy’s house in New Jersey shortly before he was taken by the Green Bay Packers in the first round of the 2005 NFL Draft when the sighting occurred. 

Rodgers, who has publicly admitted to using hallucinogen ayahuasca, said he was trying to sleep as he had a 5am wake up call the following day but was disturbed by an ‘alarm going off in the distance.’

‘It just didn’t seem like normal, and I heard some rustling downstairs,’ Rodgers said on the season finale of ‘Hard Knocks.’ 

‘So I got up, walk downstairs, it’s a beautiful night, and [we] walked outside, and up in the clouds, we heard this sound, and we saw this tremendously large object moving through the sky. And it was like a scene out of «Independence Day» when the ships are coming into the atmosphere, and they’re creating this, like, kind of explosion-type fire in the sky. 

‘We saw this incredibly large object and froze, as anybody would, because, you know, what the hell is going on? Eventually, it went out of sight, and nobody said a word. We just stood frozen.

‘And about 30 seconds later we heard the real, recognizable sound of fighter jets that seemed to be chasing this object. Again, we just stood there in disbelief for another few minutes and nobody said a word. And we just looked at each other like, ‘did we just see what we think we just saw?’

Rodgers said he checked the papers and watched the news in the following days but nothing was mentioned. 

However, the experience piqued his interest in UFOs, leading him to do more research into them. 

Rodgers later discovered that the siren was from a nuclear plant around nine miles away and claimed that UFOs are often linked to nuclear energy. 

‘And if you know anything about UFOs, there’s a lot of sightings around nuclear energy, around volcanoes, around power plants,’ Rodgers said.

‘Whatever the hell it was, I don’t know, but it was definitely identified. It was definitely flying. It was definitely a large object.’ 

The Jets quarterback is known for his outlandish theories and techniques opening up on his use of ayahuasca at the start of last season, claiming it helped him to his back-to-back MVP seasons in 2020 and 2021. 

He also underwent a darkness retreat shortly after the end of the 2022 season to contemplate his NFL future. 

He claimed that he went into the dark , ’90 percent retired’ but decided he wasn’t quite ready to call time on his career but was ready to move on from Green Bay, leading to his trade to the new York Jets. 

He also posted a picture of Djokovic preparing to serve on his Instagram story and wrote: ‘#NovaxDjokovic’ with an advert for moderna crossed out in red on Sunday.

Djokovic and Rodgers have both spoken openly about remaining unvaccinated against Covid-19. 

Djokovic even missed last year’s US Open because his vaccination status meant he could not enter the United States. But in May, the government lifted its requirement that all travelers entering the US had to be vaccinated.

The 39-year-old has had plenty of his own controversies regarding his vaccination status.

In August 2021, Rodgers told media he was ‘immunized’ against the virus but would later miss a game for the Green Bay Packers with Covid, prompting him to admit he was not vaccinated.

The Jets will be hoping Rodgers can deliver an out-of-this-world performance in their season opener against the Bills on Monday September 11.
