During a recent appearance on The Late Show, Woody Harrelson, the 63-year-old actor, shared his 1974 UFO encounter with host Stephen Colbert, though it took some prompting to get him to open up.

Harrelson explained the incident occurred in 1974 when he was a teenager in Ohio.

“Suddenly I noticed, like everybody’s out in the street and so I went out, and we look up. It was nighttime and there were these lights that were just kind of blinking, and then it would just shoot all the way across the sky,” he recalled.

“And then there’d be one over there, shoot over here, and there were several. They just kept going across the sky.” After a few minutes, the lights disappeared. “Whoosh, went somewhere else. Some other world,” he said.

Surprisingly, no one discussed the event afterward. “Nobody talked about it. Literally, everybody just went inside and said nothing,” Harrelson shared. “It was so freaky, even for me, as young as I was.”
