Actor Woody Harrelson has led a very interesting life. So it should probably come as little surprise that he now says he once had an encounter with a UFO.
He made this revelation this week on The Late Show With Stephen Colbert while discussing his appearance on the SNL50 show this past weekend. On the Saturday Night Live anniversary show, Woody Harrelson was part of a sketch that involved alien abductions. That fact led Stephen Colbert to ask the veteran movie and TV star if he believes in aliens or if he has ever seen a UFO.
“I’ll admit I have. Yeah. I mean, I’m open-minded,” he told Colbert. “I wasn’t abducted. Well, maybe I was abducted and forgot or something.”
Harrelson describes his UFO encounter as having happened to him while living in Ohio in 1974.
“Suddenly, I noticed, everybody’s out in the street and so I went out, and we look up,” he recalled.
“It was night time and there were these lights that were just kind of blinking and then it would just shoot all the way across the sky, right? And then there’d be one over there, shoot over here, several. They just kept going across the sky.
“We watched it for a while. It took a few minutes. Finally just went somewhere else. Some other world.
“And nobody talked about it,” he continued. “Like literally. Everybody just went inside and said nothing.”
“It was so freaky, even for me, as young as I was. Of course it’s true. Why wouldn’t it be true?”
Woody Harrelson would then go on to discuss in his interview with Stephen Colbert how he nearly ruined a Grateful Dead concert once because he distracted Jerry Garcia with a discussion about the fact that the universe is expanding. As one does. Then he went out to watch the show and sat on a live keyboard. “That was my first experience with them. I jammed with the Dead,” he joked.
