Former Van Halen Front Man Sammy Hagar Says That He Was Abducted By Aliens

If you're one of those fans who think Sammy Hagar ruined Van Halen, don't blame him, blame the aliens that messed with his brain. In Sammy Hagar's new book, Red: My Uncensored Life, the veteran rocker says that he was abducted by aliens, and they either "uploaded" or "downloaded" information from his brain.

In an interview with MTV Hive, Hagar says he believes that he was "contacted by aliens in the foothills above Fontana."

It was real. [Aliens] were plugged into me. It was a download situation. This was long before computers or any kind of wireless. There weren’t even wireless telephones. Looking back now, it was like, “Fuck, they downloaded something into me!” Or they uploaded something from my brain, like an experiment. “See what this guy knows.”

Sammy Hagar also described a childhood incident which he believes may have been an encounter with a UFO.

In his book, Hagar also talks about his wild days with Van Halen and his years of drug use. Still, it's the Sammy Hagar alien abduction story that has gotten the most attention.

Hagar has written about aliens in his music. While in the band Montrose, Hagar recorded songs “Space Station #5” and “Spaceage Sacrifice” which dealt with extraterrestrial life.

Why would Sammy lie? I believe everything he's telling in his new book to include his alien abduction. I believe their are ET's visiting earth and have been doing so for a long time. People always poke fun at things they don't understand or are afraid of, at least Sammy has the balls to tell us all of what happened to him. Rock On Sammy!

Well, com'on now, Sammy is not credible...all those drugs, etc. a head banging R & R weirdo claiming he went for a trip on a saucer??What could be worst for all us believers???????????????He is hurting the cause. We need real down to earth people...military, pilots, etc., coming forth like in the DISCLOSURE PROJECT, does (NEARLY 500 OF THEM NOW. not laughable folks/to raise the awareness and belief. Sammy ....GO AWAY! Maybe its true but Sammy ........just go away.

I'm generally skeptical about the abduction phenomenon since I need more proof. But I know one of the chief academic researchers on the topic. And I know someone who has claimed they were beamed info in a group encounter in Mississauga, Ontario from what appeared to be a saucer-shaped object near the lake Ontario shore. So as crazy as Hagar is, and as skeptical as I am, I'm willing to keep an open mind, without settling on any conclusions.
