We used to play the underground clubs like the UFO, and Middle Earth, and they were great because they would have on things like a poet, string quartets, and then a rock band! It was kinda cool!
I examined a lot of CIA declassified UFO files, which are fascinating, because there was a huge UFO craze going on in America. There still is today, but it certainly started in '47. And by the '50s, it was in full force.
So actually we didn't have any contacts with UFO organizations. It was all strictly government.
From 1961 to 1965 Barney and I had not seen another UFO.
It's a very typical UFO sighting. Carter said it changed color and, in the physical report, described it as being about the size of the moon. And he saw it with about twenty-five other people.
'UFO's' attitude toward the subject is very similar to mine. It's not an advocacy; its philosophy is more 'I want to believe this, but I want it proved.'
I happen to be privileged enough to be in on the fact that we have been visited on this planet, and the UFO phenomenon is real.
I have had UFO experiences, and yet, at the same time, I can easily be convinced that none of it is true. It's hard to say whether or not you're a believer. I've been interested in that subject matter, like lots of people. Perhaps foolishly, I've allowed some of that stuff to creep into my music.
I spoke to a UFO researcher about an experience that I had. It was very strange and trust me, you don't want to hear about it.
Even after doing that TV thing, 'Roswell,' I'm still waiting to see my first UFO.
