It’s almost Halloween, so what better excuse to run down some of the wildest celebrity encounters with aliens from over the years?
From Miley Cyrus to Elvis Presley, Tom DeLonge to David Bowie, celebrities have claimed to have seen something strange in the sky – or even make contact with extraterrestrial beings.
Actress Goldie Hawn made headlines this week after claiming she was ‘touched’ by an alien that ‘felt like the finger of God’.
Her long-term partner, Kurt Russell, previously revealed he was the pilot who reported glowing lights in the sky over Phoenix in 1997, one of the most famous UFO sightings in recent history.
But they’re far from the only ones to have spoke about other-worldly UFO encounters.
Goldie Hawn says she was touched by an alien who visited her when she was in her 20s while sleeping in her car in California.
The actress, now 77, said she heard a ‘high frequency’ and saw three ‘triangular-shaped heads’, silver in colour with a ‘tiny little nose,’ no ears and ‘a slash for a mouth.’
The aliens ‘were pointing at me … discussing me like I was a subject’, Kate Hudson’s mother claims.
Goldie said she was unable to move, but that the aliens touched her and it ‘felt like the finger of God.’
‘It was the most benevolent, loving feeling. This was powerful. It was filled with light.’
Goldie never forgot the experience, and went on to speak to astrophysicists and research crop circles – claiming she once dreamed about the aliens and the next day a crop circle appeared near where she was staying.
Miley Cyrus
Miley Cyrus claims she made ‘eye contact’ with an alien after being ‘chased’ by a UFO.
The Wrecking Ball singer said the experience ‘f****d me up’ and left her afraid to look at the sky in case they came back. That said, she was also stoned at the time.
Speaking to Interview Magazine in 2020, Miley said she was driving in San Bernardino with a friend when she saw what looked like a ‘flying snowplough.’
‘It had this big plough in the front of it and was glowing yellow. I did see it flying, and my friend saw it, too,’ she said, adding other cars on the road stopped to look at it.
She said a ‘being’ in the UFO ‘looked at me and we made eye contact,’ and she was left ‘shaken for like, five days.’
‘I’m pretty sure about what I saw, but I’d also bought weed wax from a guy in a van in front of a taco shop, so it could have been the weed wax.’
Uri Geller and John Lennon
Psychic Uri Geller claims he was gifted an alien egg by John Lennon after ‘bug creatures’ visited the Beatles star in his apartment.
He told Mail Online Lennon had told him he ‘wasn’t dreaming and I wasn’t tripping’ when the creatures appeared in his home.
‘They were these creatures, like people but not like people, in my apartment, they were bug-like.’
Whatvever they were, Lennon said they presented him with what looked like an egg or stone, which he then gifted to Geller.
Lennon also claimed to have seen a UFO in New York City, after spotting a hovering object by the river when he was smoking on the balcony and calling his then-girlfriend May Pang to come and look at it.
She told The Beatles Story the object was circular, dark and covered in white and red lights, and made no noise. It hovered over a building and then flew towards Brooklyn before going up into the sky.
Robbie Williams
Robbie Williams is an avid believer in extraterrestrial activity, and claims to have had more than one interaction with the unknown.
He told Joss Stone in a 2008 interview that he was once visited by aliens who ‘danced’ to his song, Arizona – itself written about contact with aliens.
Robbie said he was on the balcony playing his song when ‘this big ball of gold light turned up.’
‘We thought it was Venus or Mars or something. Then the song stops playing and it disappears. But then we put Arizona on again and the ball turned back up. It happened four times. After that a massive electrical storm started and these two big massive balls of light started dancing in the sky. It was like a whole light show for about an hour.’
Nick Jonas
Jonas Brothers star Nick Jonas claims he saw aliens while playing basketball outside one night.
The musician appeared on This Morning in 2015 where he revealed that, as a teenager, he was ‘in my backyard in LA and I looked up at the sky and saw three flying saucers.’
Nick wasn’t the only one, as his friend was with him and asked: ‘Are you seeing this or am I losing my mind?’
He said he then went online and saw there were similar sightings nearby just weeks earlier – and said he was ‘going to go try find a UFO.’
Elvis Presley
Elvis Presley was connected to aliens from the day he was born, with his family reporting seeing strange blue lights above their home while Elvis’ mother was giving birth to him.
He also told his friend and advisor Larry Geller that when he was a child, he was visited by two telepathic beings who showed him a glimpse into his future – a man wearing a white suit and singing to people.
Larry said Elvis didn’t know what it meant at the time, but realised when he became the vision from his childhood.
Kesha
Kesha saw ‘five to seven’ spaceships in the sky while walking in Joshua Tree National Park in California.
The star told The Zach Sang Show she was ‘totally sober’ when she looked into the sky and saw ‘a bunch of spaceships.’
‘I swear to God, there were like five to seven, and I don’t know why, I didn’t try to take a picture of it, I just looked at it.
‘I was sitting on a rock, and I was like, “What the hell is that?” I was trying to figure it out, and they went away. And then they came back.’
She said that when the lights returned, they were in a different formation than before – and she realised ‘those are f*****g aliens. They were spaceships.’
David Bowie
Starman legend David Bowie claimed to have regularly spotted UFOS while working for a British magazine dedicated to sightings.
He told Creem Magazine in a 1975 interview that he ‘made sightings six, seven times a night for about a year when I was in the observatory.’
‘We had regular cruises that came over. We knew the 6.15 was coming in and would meet up with another one. And they would be stationary for about half an hour, and then after verifying what they’d been doing that day, they’d shoot off.’
Tom DeLonge
Blink 182 star Tom DeLonge famously left the band in part to funnel his energy into proving the existence of aliens.
He went on to launch TV series Unidentified: Inside America’s UFO Investigation, and is on the board of directors of To The Stars Academy of Arts and Sciences, which is made up of everything from entertainment to aerospace and science divisions.
Asked if he’s ever seen a UFO, he told the New York Times he saw ‘some really anomalous stuff one night out in the desert.’
The objects were ‘zipping across the stars, horizon to horizon, zig-zagging. That really blew my mind because no satellites move that way. But I can’t tell you what it was.’
In 2021, he told Esquire he felt vindicated as a society learned more about the potential for life outside Earth, saying ‘when I got into this, people were making fun of me— “he quit his band to chase aliens, he’s lost his mind, tin foil hat, f**k this guy, he’s crazy” —and then they all started to find out it’s true.’
