John Lennon, one of the founding members of the Beatles, was known for his creative talents, activism, and controversial views on various topics. In 1974, Lennon reportedly had a UFO encounter that left a lasting impression on him.
According to reports, Lennon and his girlfriend, May Pang, were living in an apartment in New York City when they observed a bright, circular object hovering in the sky outside their window. Lennon described the object as being “a very vivid, white light” that he initially thought was a helicopter. However, when the object began to move erratically and change colors, Lennon realized it was not a conventional aircraft.
Lennon later recounted the experience in interviews and even mentioned it in some of his songs. He described feeling a sense of awe and wonder at the sighting and suggested that it had a profound impact on his worldview.
