Celebrity interviews usually work to focus on whatever new project the interviewee is promoting, but there also needs to be a balance between “here’s this new thing” and also maintaining the likability & relatability of the star. Not to mention, celebs are on a press circuit they can get bored answering the same ten questions over & over again.
So, occasionally celebrities will admit to weird things, or tell never-before-told stories in order to entertain their fans & themselves. From believing in ghosts to UFO sightings, there are a few odd things celebs have admitted to.
Miley Cyrus
This is the most recent admission, so of course we have to talk about this one first. In an interview for Interview Magazine Cyrus says she once had an alien experience. She says that while she was driving with a friend through San Bernardino in California they both spotted a UFO.
She describes the object as a “flying snowplow” saying, “ It had this big plow in the front of it and was glowing yellow. I did see it flying, and my friend saw it, too.” She goes on to say a couple of other cars on the road stopped to view the object so she’s fairly certain it was real. She says she was shaken for about five days because there was an alien sitting on the front of the object and she made eye contact with it.
It’s worth noting Cyrus admits the sighting could have been due to some weed wax (one of the most potent forms of cannabis concentrate) she had purchased from a guy in a van in front of a taco shop. Though, she cites the other pulled over cars as evidence the sighting was most likely real.
Nick Jonas
Okay, we’re noticing a trend with late millennial Disney stars and UFOs . . . maybe Disney Channel is where the government keeps its aliens? That might explain some things.
It turns out Nick Jonas is also a firm believer in aliens and he had his first sighting at around age fifteen. He was playing basketball in the backyard when he saw three flying saucers. He asked his friend, “Are you seeing this or am I losing my mind?” His friend confirmed they also saw the oddity.
Jonas said he went online and discovered there was a similar sighting just two weeks prior. He’s been a believer in extraterrestrials ever since then and has cited District 9 as his favorite movie in some interviews.
Kesha
In non-Disney celebrities, Kesha has also admitted to seeing a UFO. In an Instagram post from 2017 she posted a selfie of a bedazzled UFO shirt and captioned it, “ufos are real. i have seen them. not playing.”
She also said in an interview once that the cover art for her album Rainbow was inspired by a sighting she had while in the desert. She said, “I was like, ‘Those are f—ing aliens.’ They were spaceships’”.
Kurt Russel
Kurt Russel (who is now one of our favorite Santa Clauses), is actually part of a rather famed UFO sighting. He was on an airplane and flying into an airport in Phoenix, Arizona when he spotted some lights in the shape of a triangle. He didn’t think too much of it at the time.
However, years later his wife, Goldie Hawn, was watching a UFO documentary which featured a segment on the Phoenix Lights sighting. Russel suddenly realized this sighting was on the same night as his odd sighting & the details all matched.
The Phoenix Lights are, to-date, the most reported UFO sighting of all time. They occurred on March 13, 1997 across the states of Arizona & Nevada, as well as the Mexican state of Sonora.
