Green Bay Packers quarterback Aaron Rodgers and multiple eye witnesses saw a bonafide UFO in New Jersey back in 2005.

Starting at 14:43 in the latest You Made it Weird podcast with Pete Holmes, Rodgers recounts how he was scheduled to do a show for ESPN's Cold Pizza (now First Take) in New York in February 2005. The night before, he stayed with an old college teammate's family in rural New Jersey, where it all went down.

"There was a weird siren in the distance...We go outside, it was a snowy night in February. It was one of those kinda bright nights where it's overcast but there's enough light from the moon kinda reflecting off the clouds, where you can see things. And the next thing you know we see something in the sky...It was a large orange, left-to-right-moving object. 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 fuck was that?'”
