Actor Woody Harrelson recently shared what he described as a "freaky" UFO sighting that he experienced decades ago. The revelation occurred this past Monday evening during an appearance on The Late Show with Stephen Colbert. As the pair were discussing aliens, which Harrelson indicated he is "open-minded" about existing, the conversation took an enlightening turn. "Have you seen a UFO," Colbert asked, "because I have, I've seen stuff I can't explain." That concession prompted Harrelson to marvel "really you have? okay, then I'll admit it, I have," which led to the actor sharing his remarkable experience.

Harrelson recalled that the incident happened around 1974 when living in Ohio during his early teenage years. "Suddenly, I notice like everybody's out in the street," he told a captivated Colbert. After going outside to see what was causing a commotion, the actor recalled, he looked to the sky and saw "these lights that were kind of blinking and then they would just shoot all the way across the sky." This strange activity continued for several minutes, he said, before the aerial anomalies zipped away and "went somewhere else."

Perhaps the most intriguing aspect of Harrelson's account unfolded after the sighting happened as, he observed, the crowd of people quickly dispersed in a somewhat unusual manner. "Nobody talked about it," he noted, "everybody just went inside and said nothing." Reflecting on the mystifying event, he mused that "it was so freaky, even for me, as young as I was." Ultimately, Harrelson circled back to the possibility of aliens existing and posited "of course it's true, why wouldn't it be true"
