When talking about UFO sightings, the names that instantly pop up in our minds are Joe Rogan and Neil deGrasse Tyson. However, back in 2016, a relatively unpopular face riled up the conspiracy community by speaking about a UFO. And it was none other than the NFL star, Aaron Rodgers.
There has been much debate over the sightings of Unidentified Flying Objects. While most have been trashed as hoaxes, the one from Rodgers does appear to be a genuine observation. However, in the era of fabricated tales, one big question remains: Was Aaron Rodgers’ story real?
Did Aaron Rodgers Really See A UFO?
Aaron Rodgers had something surprising to reveal during an exclusive interview with ‘You Made It Weird’ back in 2016. After navigating through a series of topics, Rodgers shared a spine-chilling experience. An experience where he came face to face with a UFO in 2005! As per the New York Jets’ star, he was in New Jersey with his former teammate, Steve Levy.
Speaking of his experience, Rodgers saw the object as a “large orange, left-to-right-moving object.” The star quarterback further detailed that the visibility was not so excellent due to the overcast conditions. However, despite the object being behind the clouds, it seemed strikingly big. Under such circumstances, an illusion can be a very plausible explanation. But Rodgers was not alone!
“Did we just see what we think we just saw?”

Bearing witness to the weird phenomena in the sky was Steve Levy and his brother. Ever since that day, the Jets’ QB became interested in UFOs and aliens. Rodgers shared further insight into his experience on the 2023 HBO series, ‘Hard Knocks, ’ to prove that he did not lie the first time.
During the final episode, the NFL icon reiterated about his sighting. He said, “You’re still not really sleeping. You just experienced this bizarre experience. We looked in the papers and online the next few days, and there was nothing about it.” Interestingly, this was not the instance of Aaron Rodgers making an out-of-the-blue statement.
Why Did Aaron Rodgers Take Psychedelics?
Aaron Rodgers has been an active advocate for the legalization of certain psychedelics. Opening up about his regular practice of taking Ayahuasca, Rodgers mentioned how it aided him on the field. Back in 2023, the NFL star athlete attended the Psychedelic Science 2023 in Denver, Colorado. Detailing his Ayahuasca use, the Jets’ QB said that the drug was obtained from a certain type of plant in the Amazon.
Elaborating further on the matter, Rodgers stated, “It’s going to be hard to cancel me because the previous year [in 2019] – 26 touchdowns, four interceptions, we had a good season… Ayahuasca – 48 touchdowns, five interceptions, MVP. What are you gonna say?”
Luckily for Rodgers, even though the confession landed him amidst huge controversy, the NFL gave the green light. According to the drug policy, Ayahuasca does not violate its drug policy. Thus, causing a stir in and out of the field, Aaron Rodgers remains quite a personality, enthralling his fans to the core.
