Aaron Rodgers Believes He Once Saw a UFO

Aaron Rodgers is one heck of a quarterback. But the Green Bay Packers quarterback might also have a screw loose. Apparently, when Rodgers is throwing touchdown passes, he is spotting UFOs. No word as to whether Rodgers thinks the aliens actually abducted him, but he did say publicly that he did see some type of UFO. Here’s the story.

Comedian Pete Holmes has a podcast called, “You Made It Weird.” Each week Holmes posts a conversation where he interviews a celebrity and talks about some off-the-beaten-path type topics. Aaron Rodgers was his guest on Wednesday and the conversation, as it usually does with Holmes, veered in a bizarre direction.

Rodgers told the story that back in 2005 he was in New Jersey with his former Cal teammate Steve Levy he saw something out-of-the-ordinary. Here’s what Rodgers said, quoted straight from his lips:

"It was a large orange, left-to-right-moving object. Because of the overcast nature of the night and the snow, you couldn’t make out—it was kind of behind the clouds we were seeing, but it was definitively large, moving from left to right. It was me, Steve [Levy], and his brother that saw it. And it goes out of sight and we look at each other and go “What in the [expletive] was that?”"

There it is. Rodgers went on to say it sounded like fighter jets and that he heard a siren sound right before the sighting. If you follow the link above and take a listen to Rodgers, you can tell he is definitely serious when he discusses his tale. Not sure exactly when in 2005 Rodgers saw his UFO, but if it was before the draft and he was sharing this story with teams, perhaps that’s why he plummeted from a top 5 pick to the bottom of the first round.

I’m not sure if this is a good thing for Chicago Bears’ fans to have in their back pocket to come back at Packers fans, or if it’s even worse that someone who’s ready to take a vacation to Area 51 readily beats the Bears with ease. Let me just clarify, I’m not saying that there is no possibility for extra terrestrial life in the entire universe, but I do tend to highly doubt that if there are aliens, that they were cruising above New Jersey back in 2005.

There’s been plenty of news surrounding the Bears this offseason, and there will be plenty more forthcoming with a few more free agent signings and of course the draft being just about one month away. However, taking some time out to publicize that the Packers’ star quarterback is spotting UFOs and might even be wearing tinfoil hats is never a bad thing.
