American ufologists are sure that rock music has an extraterrestrial origin. How else to explain the fact that the majority of rock musicians have been seen engaging with aliens? And some rockers even openly declare that they owe their successful career to space aliens!
For almost 40 years, legendary musician, leader of the Rolling Stones group Mick Jagger has been keenly interested in extraterrestrial intelligence. It all began in 1968, when Mick and his then girlfriend Marianne Faithfull were relaxing in nature in Glastonbury. At night, he saw a luminous cigar-shaped object in the sky. This incident made such a strong impression on the rocker that he equipped his English estate with "alien detectors" - special devices that notify of bursts of electromagnetic radiation.
However, Jagger is far from the only musician of the group who was lucky to behold the cymbal. Rolling Stones guitarist Keith Richard also has every reason to brag about UFO contacts. At least he assures that he also saw several pieces. And in 1969, not only all the members of the legendary group, but also their admirers, were lucky. When the Rollings were giving a concert in Altamont, California, a UFO hovered over a crowd of thousands. The plate was even captured on film, thanks to which it is perfectly visible how the audience is distracted from the scene and lifts their heads to the sky. Until now, experts are wondering what attracts aliens more - the rockers themselves or their music.
According to a survey of Internet users conducted in 2004, the famous rock musician Ozzy Osbourne was chosen as the best representative of the Earth in negotiations with aliens. The legendary Ozzy is by a wide margin ahead of British Prime Minister Tony Blair, US President George W. Bush and famous Western TV presenters. A survey of thousands of web users was conducted after the American rovers Spirit and Opportunity discovered signs of the presence of water on Mars. 26% of those polled voted for Osborne, 12% - for Tony Blair. George W. Bush received only 9% of the vote.
ALIEN FIGHTERS
The leader and founder of the group "Foo Fighters" Dave Grohl has been crazy about aliens since childhood. He even named his team after UFOs: during World War II, the Nazis developed flying saucer-like vehicles, which American pilots called "Foo Fighters" - fighters against aliens.
According to Dave Grohl, the best moments of his life are associated with a concert in the famous town of Roswell, New Mexico. Here, at a military base, he was invited to speak in 2005 by the American military.
Promotional video:
“It was a historic event for the band! - the musician shouts with delight. - Despite the fact that our group is called "Foo Fighters", despite the fact that our label is called Roswell Records, despite the fact that I myself am a big fan of all this alien stuff, I have never been to Roswell before. And because we finally got there and played a concert in the very hangar where, as they say, the wreckage of a foreign ship that crashed in 1947 is kept, my roof was completely blown off! I couldn't think of a better way to celebrate our band's 10th anniversary."

SANTA CLAUS BELLS
He admitted that he believes in UFOs, and the father of techno Jeff Mills: “I fully admit the possibility of their existence. Our universe is so large and our knowledge of it is too limited to reject such a possibility. The Earth is open to influence from space, so contact with extraterrestrial civilizations is just a matter of time. They may have already tried to contact us, but we did not notice it. According to the musician, it was the contact with space aliens that prompted him to write his best melody.
Once Mills was returning home to Detroit from the suburbs. Suddenly a luminous cigar-shaped object appeared over the highway. Before the musician got out of the car, he was blinded by an insanely bright and strong flash of light. Out of surprise, he could not move his arm or leg. But then it was even more interesting. Humanoid creatures began to walk around him.
And in Mills' ears there was a ringing of bells, which played a very beautiful melody. “It was like Santa Claus bells,” Jeff later shared with reporters. At home, he remembered the "unearthly melody", recorded it and the next day in the studio processed it in the techno style. It was she who later formed the basis of the "alien" composition Bells, which brought Mills wild popularity.
NEW SPACE TOURIST
Observed aliens during the filming of his next video and electronic music guru Moby. After that, he said: "I really saw them in New York recently, they are cute guys."
Perhaps this incident influenced his decision to enroll in astronauts. Moby could become the first musician to fly into space. He recently signed a contract with the renowned agency Virgin Galactic, which specializes in civilian space tourism. A passenger seat on board the spacecraft cost Moby $ 207,000.
In pursuit of sensation
Rocker Tom Petty was much less fortunate: the meeting with the aliens almost ended in tragedy. One day, he noticed three shiny spheres hovering in the sky near the house. The musician almost forced his wife and guests into the car, grabbed a video camera and rushed in pursuit of the sensation. Having approached closer, lovers of UFOs found that threads were drawn from the shiny spheres to the ground.
Then one of the guests identified meteorological probes in the saucer. The musician, numb from this news, drove at full speed into a car parked at a traffic light. “I almost injured several people. Fortunately, everything worked out. But after that incident, my wife took my car keys away from me,”complains Tom.
SEX WITH AN ALIEN
The vocalist of the group "Blue" Lee Ryan, known for his extravagant antics, firmly believes that aliens do exist and that the human race is a grandiose experiment started by them. “If I had a chance to meet an alien, we would try to close up the baby with her. Imagine a completely new creature! This thought alone takes your breath away!"
Lee Ryan's colleagues in the team were not at all surprised by such a statement. On the contrary, another member of the group "Blue", Duncan, revealed that he is struggling to be abducted by aliens.
“I dream of being on an alien ship. Many times with my friend, also turned on a UFO, we tried to establish contact with the green men. Once we even went to an open area near Dorset, sat and looked at the sky for a long time. But the aliens, apparently, were busy at that moment with more important things, - said upset Duncan.
GO TO CHILDHOOD
But David Walls, the leader of the British rock band "The Wildhearts", was much more fortunate. If you believe him - aliens abducted him as a child. One thing is that Walls cannot provide any evidence. But the fans take his word for it. True, for skeptics, Walls, acting under the pseudonym Ginger, went on a bold experiment: he tried to completely restore the memories of his contact with the help of hypnosis - alas, the idea was unsuccessful.
