Yaphet Kotto—an actor and writer, known for Alien (1979)—has made an incredible admission about Aliens. Kotto claims that he has had several encounters with Alien beings and he has spent years “scared to turn off the lights” in his bedroom after first seeing an alien for the first time. Kotto claims that the being that ‘visited’ him was around one meter and a half, and had an extremely elongated head.

There are many people around the world—perhaps even millions—who claim to have had contact with beings not from Earth.

Some call the messengers, some call them angels, while in today’s society they go popularly by the name Aliens.

Curiously in the latest aliens movies, we have an actor who claims to have had contact with aliens. No, seriously.

Never before has the idea of extraterrestrial life been so frightening, but what appeared to be nothing more than a movie, is now taking on realities, as one of the protagonists of the film, Yaphet Kotto, claims to have been visited several times by aliens.

Kotto, who played the role of Chief Engineer Parker in the 1979 film, now claims that he believes aliens really do exist.

Kotto assures his encounters were not a consequence of his participation in the film, but began much earlier, when he was just a child, more than 50 years ago: “when I turned around, a figure was behind me, it was at least one meter and a half and it had an elongated head. Then… the figure turned around and disappeared,” claims the actor.

The actor confessed he spent years being “scared to turn off the lights” in his bedroom after first seeing an alien.

The actor claims his ‘visitations’ even continues during filming.

“From that moment on, it was one experience after another which culminated into my sighting in the Philippines and during the filming of Alien.”

Kotto adds, “Every time I moved into a house, above it at some point, there would be a circle of what looked like smoke. I’d wonder where it came from because of it sure as hell didn’t look like clouds. Those sightings continued for a good ten to 15 years. I’ve also had time loss. I have a big loss of time between some of these moments, and I’d often wonder if I was taken…”

Do you believe Aliens exist…outside of Hollywood?

Of course, there are a lot of skeptics, but Kotto, who played the role of Dennis Parker in the film, says: “Of course I did not have or have mental problems. I have an IQ of 196. I will also say that hundreds of people, including the former Canadian defense minister, who came to the same conclusions about extraterrestrial life, did not have problems either.”

The actor claims we are not alone in the universe.

“We’re not alone, we’re not alone in the universe. If you totally westernize the idea look at it from a supremacy viewpoint, then you’ll say, everyone’s imagining them when it comes to these things.”
