he saw a UFO. he's from a band. he is dead now so you can't talk to him. he saw this UFI in new york which is close to me. what do you think about it?

Yeh..! John lennon is or was in the band the Beatles..! This event probably was the inspiration for the song, Lucy in the Sky with Diamonds...?

maybe, but I think that might have been before that. I wonder if they were druck because the pictures didn't show up?

Look where I highlighted at the end of my post and you'll see want I think of the whole thing..?

huh? I said he might have been high or drunk when he saw this though. UFOSBPOG.

Maybe he really did see something..? Who knows...?

All I can say is...wow..

some people..

Very interesting,I never knew John had witnessed a UFO.

There is quite an intersting list of celebs that have seen UFO's amongst them are Muhammad Ali, Bogart, John Wayne, one of the US Presidents, James Stewart... just to name a few.

Jimmy Carter was the US President who reported seeing a UFO.

But, he also claims he was attacked by a rabbit.......


editted to fix tpoy..er.. typo.

lucy in the sky with diamonds was not about a ufo

I know that..? I was mearly using that particular song to state what I was trying to say...? That maybe he was unde the influence of an acid trip..(L.S.D) Thats all..

'The sighting, and how it perhaps influenced his later life'

Ok this site is taking the **** now. It may well have happened, but the evidence for it is not very strong, the site doesn't seem very reliable. It may well have happened, but I don't think it really means much, since a lot of you guys have seen UFOs

Lucy in the sky is about tripping on drugs.

No I don't think it is. His son (I think) drew a picture for him and then told john that the girl he had drawn in the sky was called Lucy, im guessing that the stars were the diamonds. However, I wouldn't disagree with you if you said strawberry fields forever was about drugs.
Also, I seriously doubt this 'sighting' was any inspiration to john lenon, I think its a bit insulting and presumptious to say so.

As a HUGE Beatles Fan there is more to this than just this.

John also had recurring dreams in which he met Extra Terrestrials, and once gave a graphic discription of one to his friend, Yuri Gellar, describing a light at his window then aliens approaching his bed, with huge eyes and along arms and fingers.

I beleive he only saw one UFO awake.

My God what have I started here..? Cant anyone see beyond my first post..? I'm refering to his state of mind at the time..! I don't care about the song..?

Then how would that explain the recurring dreams?

No one's yet mentioned the line 'There's UFOs over New York and I ain't too surprised'? Now that must be a reference to a sighting he once had?

Argh I think you are at risk of making out john lenon's musical success being down to his UFO 'experience', I know this hasn't been said yet, but the way the comments are heading...

well, my dad told me about the sighting adn I looked it up. you guys can look it up too to see what you find. didn't people say they have dreams after they have been taken by aliens? maybe john did? also, john was nude whe he took the pictures.

"Strawberry Fields Forever," I have read, was about a Salvation Army which Lennon knew of.

Really grasping at straws bringing up John Lennon.

What's so interesting about him seeing a UFO? Lots of people see UFOs =D

exactly, I just wish I could see one...

Yeh, I read SaRu's article and I also read the replies below. This is exactly what I was trying to say here..? Some people here are so gullible...

penny lane was the name of a street in liverpool,i thought strawberry fields was a park near lennon's childhood home?i always heard that lennon wrote lucy in the sky with diamonds after a painting his 4 year old sun julian made in his kindergarten class,i also heard pau,l george,and ringo say the same thing!

Sorry guys, though this place suppose to discuss about his death.....obviously, I was wrong.......

anyway, as to this event we could find evidence through his song "Imagine"....

People only care about Lennon seeing a UFO because he's famous. If anyone else had experienced the same thing, no one would care.

And Mr Ed, what's wrong about seeing UFO's? And being "at risk of making out john lenon's musical success being down to his UFO 'experience'" is not a bad thing. Everyone needs inspiration. Lennon had written many more songs than "Strawberry Fields Forever" and "Lucy in the Sky with Diamonds". We'll never know what really gave him the inspiration, he's dead.

I never said that there is anything wrong with seeing UFO's! I think when people start heading down the lines of- 'wow all of those songs must have been inspired by a UFO sighting', is going way too far.
Im sure he must have talked about what inspired him...its not all inspiration either- he was a musical genius...
I think it is a 'bad thing' being at risk of putting his whole musical career down to his UFO experience/s. I personally feel it is ridiculous.
I am not a hardcore skeptic even if I have portrayed myself this way.

This is so true..? It makes it so hard to take all this in when you know it's all drug fuelled..?

Ah, but the question is 'was it drug fueled?'.
