RW has a song called "VIVA LIFE ON MARS", it belongs to his last album "Rudebox"....

Not sure if Dan Aykroyd has a UFO museum, however I did find an interesting UFO documentary participated in. I found it on Youtube, however, it's in 8 parts and I am not sure how to post the links.

If anyone wants to look for it though, it's under UFO Documentary Dan Aykroyd.

Back when Bowie was at his peak, he would change his image to reflect the current state of his music.

The Rise and Fall of Ziggy Stardust told the story of a maritan (Ziggy Stardust) that comes to earth to rescue humanity from banality
en.wikipedia.org...

Life On Mars was on the Hunky Dory album. This album was the first Bowie album that had the all band members that would later be known as Ziggy Stardust's Spiders From Mars

Bowie has done a few other alien themed things in his career

Space Oddity - 1969 single about an astronaut named Major Tom. The song starts with the launch and ends up with Major Tom lost in space.
I've heard music historians claim that Major Tom wasn't really blasting into space but, rather, he was taking drugs (possibly heroin) and the whole song is a metaphor for drug use/abuse. While this might not be true, in a later song Ashes to Ashes, Bowie sings "we know major tom's a junkie. Major Tom makes one more appearance, in the song Hallo Spaceboy.
en.wikipedia.org...


Loving the Alien, from the Album Tonight was actually a song about his dislike of organized religion and his plea for greater unity amongst the faiths of the world.
en.wikipedia.org...

in 1976 Bowie starred in The Man Who Fell To Earth
This was a movie about an alien who comes to Earth to get water for his planet. It's on cable from time to time.

In 1983 he played a vampire (not out of this earth but worth mentioning for it's oddball theme) in The Hunger.

Actually perhaps one of the admins can advise whether or not the Dan Aykroyd UFO documentary is here on ATS already somewhere else ?

well...ok...then i maybe just go shopping and clubbing too...

it is amazing how many celebritys already spoke out about ufos. i read a lot the last days, because you guys got me into it. i mean i dont care if a celebrity has a sighting or someone else, because it makes no difference and i actually dont care, but when you think of how many celebritys had sightings how many people in general must it be then...? didnt know about that quantity....

It is good that many people learn about these phenomena, they have always spoken to my opinion little even if questions would be indeed so .At least all this speaking in the forums took to know and want to inform about the UFOs a bigger number of people. I understood! At least an aim in this has reached him or not ?

Space Oddity?? mate I forgot this song... and it's my favorite of David Bowie... Ground Control to Major Tom!!

I never Heard this history about Heroin... But every music people say that is about drugs.. even I've got you under my Skin, from the lovely Cole Porter and Lola, from the Kinks...

(there are some people who say that Morning Glory, from the Oasis is from Drgus too... That's.. T'hat's... that's real lol )

There are a lot of songs about Ufos, hein? I will download some here!! Fly me to the moon? I can not belive that I've never realized that this song is about Space

What a list!
Thanks so much, I didn`t know there are so many songs on this subject.



Now I know what I am gonna do...listen to all these tunes

Lets see .... erm....hear what they have to tell.

reply to post by flymetothemoon


whoa! that are a lot of songs..... thank you for your effort!

here another one: blink182 - aliens exist

look at this article:
www.ufoencounters.co.uk...

i kind of wonder, that even former presidents talked about ufo-sightings. should they not know about ufos anyway because they have access to all the NASA-stuff? Or is it just tactic to keep up the impression that they also have no clue?

reply to post by milabb.

Thanks ... really interesting article. Most of these people are american or living in the states: is there more ufo's to observe in North America (incl. Canada )?


reply to post by flymetothemoon

Thanks for the list. I didn't think there were so many.
I wonder if these people write such songs because they simply want to express their belief in UFO's or if they think that music can create particular links-waves which allow to see UFO's easilier!? (I think for example of Rob's experience when he and his band played a song about ufo's ("arizona", if I remember well)). Does someone know others examples of ufo's or stange light's observations during certain songs?

reply to post by milabb.

Thanks Great article. Read it with interest. By the way about the drugs. It often was told that Led Zeppelin's Stairway to heaven was about drugs as in the "old days" there were limits about lyrics in songs. They had to "cover" their lyrics about drugs and sex. UPS back to basic, the start of this thread. Guess explains why presidents and other insiders maby would not tell it like it is : As the press would use it for profit. If some people dont know how to handle that Robbie Williams talks about his experiences with U.F.O's without making a soup out of a glass of water, asking about his sanity, ref. to his early drug abbuse ect. sure shows that people are not ready to know. If there realy are "somebody out there", i am sure they will come and drink a nice cup of tea with us, when they think we are ready. Untill now they are maby showing them self to some "chosen" people who are willing to talk about about it, so they can test how people will deal with it. So far we did not pass the test i think. Just a guess

I do believe the lights are finally coming on .
"is there any body ..out there ?" pink floyd.

The last time the BBC did a documentary on the ufo thing ,when the end credits ran the film showed a view downwards from the sky . You could see the cloud shadow moving over the fields below . The shadow you see moving over the ground is cast from the ship the film was taken from .
The ship is an Altairian warbird .
Altairian warbirds look a lot like the ones in star trek nemesis .
Next time you look up at a cloud thats shaped a bit like an Angel you may think Hmmmm...

absolutely! i wouldnt even think about celebritys in context with ufology, because i actually do not care WHO saw something and especially not if it was a celebrity or not. but to find out how many celebritys spoke about sightings and so many even made songs about it, can give a clue, how many people in gerneral must have made such experiences! and because celebritys are famous and known by so many ppl their experiences spread and can give information about things you maybe would have never heard.
