John Lennon had an encounter with an alien that scared him so much he phoned Uri Geller at 3am, reported the Daily Star. The spoon-bender said that the Beatle told him: “I was lying in my bed and suddenly I saw light by my bedside and out of this light an extra terrestrial hand stretches out.” Geller said: “My first question was, ‘What did you smoke?’ But he swore to me that this happened to him.” This was not the only time Lennon claimed to have encountered life from space: in 1974 he said he saw a UFO from his flat in New York.
