Robbie Williams pursuing new career in alien-hunting

08/03/2008

Robbie Williams is embarking on a new career as a ufologist, he has revealed in an interview.

The Rudebox star claimed to have seen unidentified flying objects three times in an interview with the Daily Mirror.

After sightings in Britain when only a child and in Beverly Hills more recently, Williams' most recent sighting occurred as he was writing a song calling Arizona about alien contact.

Williams appears to have concluded this extraordinary coincidence can only be the result of extraterrestrial fun and games.

"I stood on the balcony and there was this big ball of gold light that turned up - we thought it was Venus or Mars or something," he said.

"Then the song stops playing and it disappears. But then we put Arizona on again and the ball turned back up. It happened four times.

"After that a massive electrical storm started and these two big massive balls of light started dancing in the sky. It was like a whole light show for about an hour."

Williams' remaining vestige of sanity appears to lie in his acceptance about public reception to his new career.

"People will think, 'This geezer's been in rehab, he's off his head'," he suggested.
