Aaron Rodgers Shockingly Reveals UFO Encounter Prior to 2005 NFL Draft on ‘Hard Knocks’ Finale with New York Jets

New York Jets quarterback Aaron Rodgers recently made a stunning claim about experiencing a UFO sighting in 2005. The 39-year-old revealed that the incident took place at the house of his former Cal teammate Steve Levy in New Jersey, just before he was selected by the Green Bay Packers in the first round of the 2005 NFL Draft.

Rodgers, who has been open about his use of the hallucinogen ayahuasca, explained that he was trying to sleep because he had an early wake-up call the next day. However, he was disturbed by an unfamiliar sound and some activity downstairs.

‘It didn’t seem normal, and I heard some rustling downstairs,’ Rodgers shared during the season finale of ‘Hard Knocks’.

‘So I got up, went downstairs, and stepped outside into the beautiful night. In the sky, we heard a strange sound and saw a massive object moving through the clouds. It was like a scene from “Independence Day” with explosions in the sky.’

‘We saw this incredibly large object and froze, as anybody would, because, you know, what the hell is going on? Eventually, it disappeared from our sight, and we stood there in silence,’ Rodgers recounted.

‘About 30 seconds later, we heard the distinctive sound of fighter jets chasing after the object. Again, we were left in disbelief and silence for a few more minutes. We looked at each other, wondering if we really saw what we think we saw.’

Rodgers admitted that he checked the news and newspapers in the following days but found no mention of the incident. Nonetheless, the experience sparked his interest in UFOs, and he began researching the phenomenon.

He later discovered that the siren he heard was from a nuclear plant around nine miles away, and he noted the frequent connection between UFO sightings and nuclear energy.

‘If you know anything about UFOs, you’ll know they are often spotted near nuclear energy sites, volcanoes, and power plants,’ Rodgers explained.

‘Whatever it was, I don’t know, but it was definitely something unusual. It was flying, it was large,’ he emphasized.

Rodgers has gained a reputation for his unconventional theories and techniques. He previously revealed his use of ayahuasca, which he believes contributed to his back-to-back MVP seasons in 2020 and 2021.

In addition, Rodgers recently underwent a darkness retreat to reflect on his future in the NFL after the 2022 season. He initially considered himself “90 percent retired,” but ultimately decided to continue his career, leading to his trade to the New York Jets.

He also expressed support for tennis player Novak Djokovic’s anti-vax stance by posting an Instagram story with the caption “#NovaxDjokovic” alongside a crossed-out advertisement for the Moderna vaccine.

Both Djokovic and Rodgers have been vocal about their decision not to get vaccinated against Covid-19. Djokovic even missed the US Open last year due to vaccination requirements, although the government has since lifted that restriction.
