When aliens actually visit Earth, they often seem to reveal themselves to famous people.
Everyone from Miley Cyrus to Kurt Russell has claimed to have encountered strange lights or alien craft, with director Stephen Spielberg saying he believes humans have had UFO encounters.
UFO experts have even suggested that Hollywood’s obsession with aliens has fueled real-world UFO sightings — known as the “Will Smith Effect” for its role on Independence Day.
DailyMail.com spoke to renowned television psychologist Uri Geller about his own UFO experiences, which he says began when he was just five years old — and about other celebrities who have seen aliens.

Geller said, “Ever since I was a child I had this extraterrestrial contact.
“In my opinion, America is hiding alien technology and trying to weaponize it to be superior to Russia and China.”
Geller also spoke about John Lennon and Muhammad Ali’s experiences with UFOs – and DailyMail.com has explored the stories of other celebrities who believe they’ve come into contact with aliens.
Nigel Watson, author of the UFO Investigations Manual, said he is “skeptical” of some celebrity UFO sightings, telling DailyMail.com: “They use them to get publicity for their latest media projects or to get on the UFO bandwagon.” to jump.

Uri Geller told DailyMail.com that he was “very close” to Beatles singer John Lennon, and that the musician gifted him an alien egg or stone.
Speaking to DailyMail.com, Geller said, “John Lennon actually gave me an object he got from an alien.”
Geller previously claimed that the egg-like object was “given” to Lennon by insect-like creatures, and then gifted to Lennon.
Geller previously quoted Lennon as saying, “I wasn’t dreaming and I wasn’t tripping. There were creatures in my apartment that looked like humans, but not humans. They looked like insects.’
Geller still owns the object, which he never had tested, but more skeptical observers have since suggested the egg was a work of art created 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 Spacecraft?
Singer Miley Cyrus claimed that she was not only chased by “some kind of UFO” in San Bernardino, California, but that she “made eye contact” with the alien pilot.
She said in a 2020 interview with Interview magazine that “after meeting” she couldn’t really look at the sky.
She said the alien spacecraft resembled a glowing, flying snowplow.
She said, ‘I saw it fly, 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.
‘I actually didn’t feel threatened at all, but I did see a creature sitting in front of the flying object.
However, she admitted that there was a possibility that the encounter “was due” to the “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 memory, with lights seen over Arizona and Nevada in 1997.
But the first person to see the “alien” lights may have been Hollywood star Kurt Russell, who was at the controls of his own private jet.
Russell reported the lights to the control tower at Phoenix Sky Harbor International Airport and may have even been the first person to report the sighting.
He said he flew with his son Oliver to a friend: “We were on our way. I saw six lights above the airfield 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, ‘Dad, what are those lights?’
“Then I kind of came out of my reverie and said, ‘I don’t know what they are.’ He said, “Is everything okay here?” And I said, “Yes, I’m going to call,” and I reported it.”
It is now believed that the lights were due to pilot training, Operation Snowbird, and not an alien visitation.
Demi Lovato’s Alien Snowflakes
Demi Lovato is so convinced that aliens are real that we should stop using the word “alien” when it’s offensive.
She said, “I think we should stop calling them aliens, because aliens are a derogatory term for everything.”

She wrote, “Over the past few months I have dug deep into the science of consciousness and not only have I experienced peace and serenity like I have never known, but I have also witnessed the most incredibly profound sightings, both in the sky and in the sky. a few meters away. mine.
“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 connect, we would force our governments to recognize the truth about alien life among us and change our destructive habits, destroying our planet.”

Muhammad Ali believed in UFOs
The boxer was a strong supporter of UFOs and spoke of his own encounters.
In the book Amazing Flying Saucer Experiences of Celebrities, Rock Stars and the Rich and Famous, Ali said he saw a UFO in New York’s Central Park.
Ali said, “I happened to look up just before dawn, as I often do when running, and there hovered above us a brilliant light hanging by an invisible thread.

World-renowned spoon-bending psychic Uri Geller has long had a fascination with the paranormal, but did his powers stem from a UFO encounter as a child?
Geller, who has demonstrated his psychokinetic powers on TV worldwide, told DailyMail.com that his mother always preferred to imagine his powers came from his relative Sigmund Freud.
But when he was about five years old, Geller had an unearthly encounter near the family’s home in Tel Aviv after sneaking into a yard thinking he heard kittens crying.
He said, “I could see a ball of light maybe ten feet in diameter, which was right
“From that orb, almost like a laser beam, it landed on my head. I’m not sure how long later it was when I went home.”
Geller said he’s still not sure if his encounter was a spiritual experience or with some form of alien “higher being.”
Geller also claimed that he had subsequently worked with the CIA to investigate his powers, claiming to have seen alien bodies in a secret location in the US.
