Dave Foley, the star of 90s sitcom News Radio and iconic Canadian sketch comedy show Kids in the Hall, has Twitter transfixed with an eyebrow-raising tale from his past.
But this story isn't about behind-the-scenes Hollywood gossip. It's about the UFO he says he had an encounter with, and no, he's not joking.
Foley shared a drawing of what he says he saw earlier this year, and it's got people intrigued to say the least. See his tweet about it below.
\u201cAfter years of interest in the UFOS without ever seeing anything, I saw something. This is a drawing of what I saw. I was with a friend who I\u2019ll let decide if he wants to be attached to this. \nIt moved silently, at great speed,hovered and pulsated with light.\u201d— Dave Foley (@Dave Foley) 1656530318
Along with the drawing of a yellow object with three glowing lights on it, Foley tweeted:
"After years of interest in the UFOS without ever seeing anything, I saw something."
"This is a drawing of what I saw. I was with a friend who I’ll let decide if he wants to be attached to this."
"It moved silently, at great speed,hovered and pulsated with light."
Foley added more details about what he saw in a follow-up tweet.
"I should point out, the white lights were on the front of the craft, assuming that it was moving forward and those lights pulsated separately from the body of the craft, which also pulsate"
Interesting! But this is all an elaborate joke, right? Well it doesn't seem so. After a fan asked Foley if this was just some kind of a bit about a "marshmallow calzone," he emphatically stated that he was 100% serious about what he saw.
\u201c@Estatefair Absolutely not a bit. Just sharing what I saw. Many people who have encountered the phenomenon are afraid to discuss it because of the thoughtless and uninformed derision it inspires. Many who do discuss it have had their lives ruined by that derision. \n#ufotwitter\u201d— Dave Foley (@Dave Foley) 1656530318
In other responses to other fans, Foley said that he not only knows others who've seen similar things, but he knows people in Hollywood who have but are afraid to speak out for fear of the mockery that would ensue damaging their careers.
Foley also said the UFO, which he saw near Los Angeles in January, appeared to be about the size of a Greyhound bus, and that it appeared to be "under intelligent control."
On Twitter, people were definitely intrigued by Foley's story
\u201c@DaveSFoley @Estatefair Am I allowed to say it looks like a Whiskas Temptations cat treat with a bicycle light attached without being called derisive?\ud83e\udd14\u201d— Dave Foley (@Dave Foley) 1656530318
\u201c@DaveSFoley I\u2019m kind of jealous actually\u2026 I\u2019d love to see something. I have one foot in the believe and one in the not believe category. I want to believe.\u201d— Dave Foley (@Dave Foley) 1656530318
\u201c@DaveSFoley Oh, so you know about my spacecraft, huh? Control, this is Delfar-7. My mission is in jeopardy. Destroy the planet.\u201d— Dave Foley (@Dave Foley) 1656530318
\u201c@DaveSFoley Thank you for sharing. I believe this stuff is real, not sure what I think it is (alien, inter dimensional/ time travelers, top secret military, etc. any or all of the above) but I believe you and many others who have seen something they can\u2019t explain.\u201d— Dave Foley (@Dave Foley) 1656530318
And plenty of people had similar stories of their own.
\u201c@DaveSFoley I was a skeptic until I saw them with my own eyes- look towards the top of the tree, my phone didn\u2019t capture all of them but they were flying in formation\u201d— Dave Foley (@Dave Foley) 1656530318
\u201c@DaveSFoley Saw something similar to this a handful of years ago. Four of us witnessed it. Two still talk about. Pulsating/spinning was bluish in color and emitting a fog it seemed. Travelled the horizon in a stitch pattern and just disappeared after a few minutes. My best explanation.\u201d— Dave Foley (@Dave Foley) 1656530318
\u201c@DaveSFoley My gf, best friend and myself recently went to Rocky Mountain National Park to stargaze and saw 4 different objects that we couldn't explain. Here's a brief video of one of them. Disregard our silly back and forths lol. But we watched this thing for like 25 minutes hovering, (1)\u201d— Dave Foley (@Dave Foley) 1656530318
\u201c@DaveSFoley I saw... something... when I was a kid. I was in my back yard and my sister, my mom, my sister and I watched as a red dot moved all over the sky. Left, right, zig-zags, up and down. We all stood there in silence for like 20 mins watching this thing. Still don't know what it was.\u201d— Dave Foley (@Dave Foley) 1656530318
\u201c@DaveSFoley When I was a kid, I saw a bright light, 'something' that was zig zagging across the sky in a way that was not like any plane or helicopter.\u201d— Dave Foley (@Dave Foley) 1656530318
It's a lot easier to believe Foley nowadays after our own government and military have copped to the existence of UFOs, though they've been careful to say they've never found any evidence of alien life.
But of course that's exactly what they would say...
