When aliens actually visit Earth, they often appear to reveal themselves to famous people.
Everyone from Miley Cyrus to Kurt Russell has claimed to have encountered strange lights or alien spacecraft, with director Stephen Spielberg believing people have had UFO encounters before.
UFO experts have even suggested that Hollywood’s obsession with aliens has led to UFO sightings in the real world – known as the “Will Smith effect” due to his role in Independence Day.
spoke to famed television psychic Uri Geller about his own UFO experiences, which he says began when he was just five years old – and other celebrities who have seen aliens.

Geller said: “I have had this kind of contact with extraterrestrials since I was a child.”
“In my opinion, America is hiding alien technology and trying to use it as a weapon to be superior to Russia and China.”
Geller also spoke about John Lennon and Muhammad Ali’s experiences with UFOs – and has examined the stories of other celebrities who believe they have come into contact with aliens.
Nigel Watson, author of the UFO Investigations Manual, said he was “skeptical” about some celebrity UFO sightings, telling : “They use them to promote their latest media projects or to get on the UFO bandwagon “It also marks them out as more special than us ordinary people who haven’t seen a UFO or been abducted by our extraterrestrial visitors.”
John Lennon’s “Alien Egg”

Uri Geller told that he is “very close” to Beatles singer John Lennon and that the musician gave him an alien egg or stone as a gift.
Speaking to , Geller said: “John Lennon actually gave me an item that he got from an alien.”
Geller previously claimed that the egg-like object was “given” to Lennon by insectoid creatures and then gifted to Lennon.
Geller previously quoted Lennon as saying, “I wasn’t dreaming and I wasn’t tripping. “In my apartment there were these creatures that were like people but not like people – they were bug-like.”
Geller still has the object he never had tested, but more skeptical observers have since suggested that the egg was a work of art by Danish scientist and artist Piet Hein.
Miley Cyrus made “eye contact” with alien
Did Miley Cyrus really make “eye contact” with the pilot of an alien spaceship?
Singer Miley Cyrus claimed that she was not only chased by “some kind of UFO” in San Bernardino, California, but also made “eye contact” with the alien pilot.
In an interview with Interview magazine in 2020, she said that after their encounter she “couldn’t really look at the sky anymore.”
She said the alien vehicle resembled a glowing, flying snowplow.
She said, “I saw it flying, and my friend saw it too.” There were a few other cars on the road and they also stopped to look, so I think what I saw was real was.
“I actually didn’t feel threatened at all, but I saw a creature sitting in front of the flying object.
However, she admitted that there was a possibility that the encounter could have been due to “weed wax” she had recently used.
Kurt Russell and the Phoenix Lights

The Phoenix Lights are one of the most famous UFO sightings in recent history. In 1997, lights were seen over Arizona and Nevada.
But the first person to spot the “alien” lights may have been Hollywood star Kurt Russell at the controls of his own private plane.
Russell reported the lights to the control tower at Phoenix Sky Harbor International Airport and may even have been the first person to report the sighting.
He said he was flying his son Oliver to visit a friend: “We were on approach to land.” I saw six lights above the airport in absolute uniform in a V shape. Oliver said to me – I just looked at him, I came in, we’re maybe half a mile away – and Oliver said, “Pa, what are those lights?”
“Then I kind of woke up from my reverie and said, ‘I don’t know what that is.’ He said, ‘Are we OK here?’ And I said, ‘Yeah, I’ll be in touch,’ and I reported it.’
It is now believed that the lights were the result of a pilot exercise, Operation Snowbird, rather than a visit from aliens.
Demi Lovato’s alien snowflakes
Demi Lovato is so convinced that aliens exist that we should stop using the word “alien” in case it causes offense.
She said: “I think we need to stop calling them ‘aliens’ because ‘aliens’ is a derogatory term for everything.”
In a 2020 Instagram post, she revealed that she had made contact with extraterrestrials through meditation.
She wrote: “Over the last few months I have delved deeply into the science of consciousness and experienced not only peace and serenity like I had never known before, but also the most incredibly profound sightings both in the sky and just a few meters away experienced.” by me.
“This planet is on a very negative path to destruction, but WE can change that together.” If we got 1% of the population to meditate and make contact, we would force our governments to hide the truth about extraterrestrial life to recognize ourselves and change our destructive habits that are destroying our planet.”
Muhammad Ali’s lights in the sky
Muhammad Ali believed in UFOs
The boxer was a firm believer in UFOs and spoke about his own encounters.
In the book “Amazing Flying Saucer Experiences of Celebrities, Rock Stars and the Rich and Famous,” Ali said that he spotted a UFO in Central Park in New York.
Ali said: “I happened to look up just before sunrise, as I often do while running, and there was this brilliant light floating above us, as if hanging by an invisible thread.”
“At first I thought it was a beacon projected from a helicopter. But a few moments later, a similar object passed in front of us.”

World-famous spoon-bending psychic Uri Geller has long been fascinated by the paranormal – but did his powers come from a UFO encounter as a child?
Geller, who has demonstrated psychokinetic powers on television around the world, told that his mother always preferred to believe that his powers came from his relative Sigmund Freud.
But when he was about five years old, Geller had a scary encounter near the family’s Tel Aviv home after sneaking into a garden because he thought he heard kittens crying.
He said: “I could see a ball of light, maybe three meters in diameter, pulsating.”
“This bullet almost hit me in the head like a laser beam. I’m not sure how long it took me to go home later.”
Geller said he still wasn’t sure whether his encounter was a spiritual experience or some kind of extraterrestrial “higher being.”
Geller also claimed to have subsequently worked with the CIA to research his powers and claimed to have seen alien corpses at a secret location in the United States
