Packers' Aaron Rodgers Believes He Once Saw Aliens

(CBS) Packers quarterback Aaron Rodgers believes he saw aliens in New Jersey back in 2005.

Speaking as a guest on Pete Holmes' "You Made It Weird" podcast, in a rare two-hour interview in which he opened up about many subjects, Rodgers recalled the time he and California teammate Steve Levy encountered what he termed as a UFO.

"It was a large orange, left-to-right-moving object," Rodgers said, via the Milwaukee Record. "Because of the overcast nature of the night and the snow, you couldn't make out — it was kind of behind the clouds we were seeing, but it was definitively large, moving from left to right. It was me, Steve (Levy) and his brother that saw it. And it goes out of sight and we look at each other and go "What in the f--- was that?"

Rodgers is considered a private person and not one to typically open up -- especially about alien encounters. While it's very possible that Rodgers was seeing an airplane through the overcast sky, this is the story he told.
