The actor recounted the extraterrestrial event during a visit to 'The Late Show With Stephen Colbert.'
Woody Harrelson is pretty sure the truth is out there.
Fresh off his appearance in an alien abduction-centered sketch on the SNL50 celebration, the Cheers star stopped by The Late Show With Stephen Colbert where he recounted an actual extraterrestrial encounter he had as a young man.
Colbert questioned his guest about whether he does in fact believe in aliens when discussing his recent SNL appearance.
“Yeah. I mean, I’m open-minded,” Harrelson said. Colbert went on and asked if the actor had ever experienced anything alien-related himself.
“Have I had an alien experience? You’re really asking me if I’ve had an alien experience?” Harrelson shot back at the host.
Colbert then joked, “If you’ve been abducted, now would be a great time to tell me! But have you like seen a UFO? ‘Cause I have, I’ve seen stuff I can’t explain.”
This prompted Harrelson to admit he had seen something otherworldly when he was a teenager living in Ohio in 1974.
“Suddenly I noticed, like everybody’s out in the street and so I went out, and we look up. It was nighttime and there were these lights that were just kind of blinking and then it would just shoot all the way across the sky,” he recounted. “And then there’d be one over there, shoot over here, and there were several. They just kept going across the sky.”
The actor said he couldn’t believe not a single person stayed afterward to discuss what they’d all just seen.
“Nobody talked about it. Literally, everybody just went inside and said nothing,” he recalled. “It was so freaky, even for me, as young as I was.”
So when Colbert then asked if aliens existed, Harrelson replied affirmatively. “Why wouldn’t it be true?” he posited.
