Celeb alien encounters

 Rocker Sammy Hagar airs all his dirty laundry in his new book including his shocking encounters with out-of-this-world creatures. And he's not the only one. Flying saucers, dancing lights, even brain downloads are not too out there for these celebrities, who all say they've had alien encounters.



Olivia Newton-John

 In England most people now think UFOs are possible. Twenty years ago, how many people would have thought that? – Olivia Newton-John
 The English 62-year-old former pop star says she saw a silver object flying at "amazing speeds" as a teen and has been an extraterrestrial believer ever since.

Sammy Hagar

 They were plugged into me. It was a download situation ... Or, they uploaded something from my brain, like an experiment. – Sammy Hagar
 He "can't drive 55," and it's no wonder. Fast, shiny UFOs have hovered over rocker Sammy Hagar several times since the first encounter at age 4, he has said. His abduction story?

Shirley MacLaine

 They have shown up. They have taken certain people aboard their craft, including some who went willingly.  – Shirley MacLaine
 One of the first celebrities to speak openly about her belief in the existence of extraterrestrials, Shirley MacLaine has never shied away from controversial statements about her UFO experiences as well as recent revelations about her sex life.

Dennis Kucinich

You have to keep in mind that more — that Jimmy Carter saw a UFO and also that more people in this country have seen UFOs than I think approve of George Bush's presidency. – Dennis Kucinich
 Congressman Dennis Kucinich  may not remember exactly what he ate at a dinner party at this actress's house back in 1982, but no one is likely to forget what they both say he saw: unidentified flying objects hovering in the sky.

Mick Jagger

In 1968 he went camping in Glastonbury with his then girlfriend, singer Marianne Faithfull, and encountered a rare, luminous cigar-shaped mothership. – Rock author Michael C. Luckman
 Star power doesn't just define this legendary rocker, it seems to follow him everywhere he goes. After his camping excursion, the Rolling Stones vocalist reportedly had a UFO detector installed in one of his homes.

John Lennon

On the 23rd August, 1974 at 9 o'clock I saw a U.F.O. – John Lennon
 Lennon's assistant and then-girlfriend May Pang has said that the two of them saw a UFO the size of a Learjet while on the balcony of Lennon's Manhattan apartment in 1974.

If you look into the sky in the early morning you see them playing tag between the stars. – Muhammad Ali
  "The Greatest" has said he's seen UFOs on several occasions, including once while he was jogging through a famous park

Walter Cronkite

From the beginning of recordable time, men have been seeing unexplainable things in the sky. – Walter Cronkite
 Did the late Walter Cronkite really see a UFO destroy a U.S. missile? The respected newsman reportedly witnessed a large disc-shaped craft hovering near a military base in the 1950s. A few minutes later, the story goes, the missile was hit by a beam of blue light and exploded.

Jimmy Carter UFOs

One thing's for sure, I'll never make fun of people who say they've seen unidentified objects in the sky. – Jimmy Carter
 The former U.S. president has said he and a group of Lions Club members had a close encounter when they spotted a UFO in the Georgia night sky in the late 1960s.

Elvis Presley

The singer was contacted telepathically by two alien beings when he was eight years old, although he had no idea what it all meant at the time. – Rock author Michael C. Luckman
 The hip-swiveling King of Rock 'n' Roll (listen to his music) had a well-known belief in extraterrestrials and reported several sightings of UFOs throughout his life. Elvis was especially intrigued by his father's report of a strange blue light hovering over their home on the night he was born.
