Post Malone

The “Circles” singer, 28, doesn’t run away from talk about UFOs. The artist claims he’s had multiple close encounters with suspicious sky ships — with the first occurring in New York when he was just 16. Malone says of his initial sighting, “It’s just a light that just stays there and then just f–kin’ goes off … I mean, you can’t explain it.” The musician reveals he’s also witnessed otherworldly occurrences in Utah and California — where he spied a “circular” dome hovering over Tarzana. He says of the Golden State incident, “I was there with like f–kin’ four other people, and they saw it, too!”

Whoopi Goldberg

The talk show cohost isn’t waiting for aliens to invade Earth — she believes they’re already here. “They’ve been here for quite some time. They’re watching us,” Goldberg, 68, said on a recent episode of The View. “We’re not the only ones in the universe. We’re just not.” She thinks the visitors’ galaxy quest is a peaceful one. “I can say I haven’t seen any zapping happen, I haven’t seen things that you see in the movies, so maybe they’re not adversaries,” she says. “Maybe they’re just trying to get along!”

Kacey Musgraves

The country singer, 35, is a dedicated watcher of the skies and says it’s paid off in two UFO sightings. The “Too Good to Be True” singer recalls observing a strange object in Mexico that looked like “the underbelly of a bird.” But the suspicious item then morphed into an Xpattern! She explains, “It started glowing and doing things that nothing normal would do!” Musgraves says days later she saw two great balls of fire overhead near her Nashville home — which left her scared and scarred. Now, she admits one of her biggest fears is being abducted by aliens.

Khloé Kardashian

The reality star, 39, is a fervent believer in extraterrestrial life — and has called out bureaucrats for hiding the truth. The denim designer went nuts after a UFO sighting was widely reported near her family’s home in Southern California, and the Pentagon claimed the phenomenon was just a missile test. “UFOs are real!” the fashionista said on social media. “The government doesn’t want to admit that we are not alone. The coverups begin.” The Kardashians star also showed her enthusiasm in 2012 by going UFO hunting near Malibu on Keeping Up with the Kardashians — but failed to find her very own E.T.

Goldie Hawn

The Snatched actress says aliens snatched her when she was 20 — and she liked it! The 78-year-old Private Benjamin star insists alien life forms approached her in the California desert and got touchy-feely. “They were silver in color, slash for a mouth, tiny little nose, no ears,” she says. “They touched my face and it felt like the finger of God. It was the most benevolent, loving feeling. This was powerful. It was filled with light.” But Hawn says they made her feel like an alien by pointing at her and making droning noises until she could finally break free.

Fran Drescher

Drescher and ex-husband Peter Marc Jacobson weren’t a match made in heaven — they split in 1999 — but they were programmed to meet by otherworldly beings who implanted chips in them when they were in junior high, the Nanny star, 66, claims. “Peter and I both saw [aliens] before we knew each other [while] doing the same thing, driving on the road with our dads. A few years later, we met and realized that we had the same experience. I think that somehow we were programmed to meet. We both have the exact same scar on the exact same spot” where the chip was implanted.

Aaron Rodgers

The NFL quarterback swears he and his pals spotted an otherworldly object in the sky after hearing a siren go off at a nearby nuclear power plant in 2005. “It was like a scene out of Independence Day when the ships are coming into the atmosphere and creating this kind of explosion-type fire in the sky,” he recalls. Rodgers, 40, says they also saw fighter jets seeming to chase down the UFO. “Nobody said a word,” he continues. “We all kind of looked at each other like, did we just see what we think we just saw?”

Demi Lovato

The sky-gazing “Skyscraper” singer is sorry, not sorry to be a staunch defender of extraterrestrials — and she’s on an otherworldly mission to get people to stop dissing them. “I think that we have to stop calling them aliens because aliens is a derogatory term,” says the 31-year-old, who prefers the term E.T. And Lovato says she can summon her intergalactic pals at will. “I have witnessed the most incredibly profound sightings,” she says. “If we were to get 1 percent of the population to meditate and make contact, we would force our governments to acknowledge the truth about extraterrestrial life among us!”

Jennifer Lawrence

The Hunger Games star got shot into space in the hit 2016 sci-fi movie Passengers, but she says her belief in extraterrestrials is no act — and the thought of space invaders out to get us scares her to bits. The 33-year-old Oscar winner slammed a government program that put a capsule into space containing TMI about Earthlings, believing they shouldn’t be poking the bear like that. “Based on history, when we find each other, we kill each other,” says Lawrence. “I don’t feel like aliens are going to be like, ‘Oh, great! Let’s get along.’ They might not. They might want to destroy us. Have you seen a Tom Cruise movie?”

Nick Jonas

Like his ex Demi Lovato, the boy band member believes there are other intelligent life forms in the universe — because he’s had a close encounter. “When I was 14, I was in my backyard playing basketball with some friends and I looked up into the sky and there were three flying saucers,” the former Voice coach, 31, says. “Everyone said it was a movie, but I was convinced it was real. So I looked it up online and there were three identical sightings.” To this day, he remains “obsessed with UFO stuff,” and is hoping for more visitors from outer space.

Miley Cyrus

The “Flowers” singer claims she not only saw a UFO but even caught the eye of the spaceship’s pilot. “The best way to describe it is a flying snowplow,” the 31-year-old “Wrecking Ball” artist says of the craft she encountered in 2020. “It had this big plow in the front of it and was glowing yellow.” Cyrus, who admits being on weed at the time, adds, “I did see a being sitting in the front of the flying object. It looked at me and we made eye contact, and I think that’s what really shook me.”
