Pop star Kim Wilde believes eco-friendly aliens are visiting Earth to help us save the planet after spotting a UFO over her back garden.
The 59-year-old singer says her comeback album Here Come The Aliens was inspired by the close encounter.
She believes ETs are visiting us more often as they are worried about climate change.
Kim told Platinum magazine: “The effect of seeing something unexplained in the sky is very powerful, whether it was from this earth or not, and I had the strange feeling it wasn’t – the sense I was witness to something extraordinary.
“And a lot of people locally saw it too so I knew I wasn’t going mad.
“I’ve met lots of people who’ve seen really strange things.
“They don’t talk about them because they’re scared everyone’s going to think they’re going soft, but I don’t care.
“I know what I saw and it was quite extraordinary and had a huge impact on me in a really positive way.
“It’s an uplifting, inspiring experience that has left me feeling in awe, even more than I was before, about being on this planet.”
The mum-of-two, who has a second career as a gardener, believes aliens may be trying to have a positive influence by encouraging humans to save the Earth.
“I think they are likely to be trying to look after us and help us look after ourselves and the planet,” she said.
“And I think they are running out of patience and that’s why they’re turning up a bit more often.

“They might have to turn up the heat and actually scare us before we actually do something!”
Kim, who had a massive hit with her debut single Kids In America in 1981, said her alien encounter happened the day after Michael Jackson died in 2009 at her home in Hertfordshire.
She has said previously it was a “mind-blowing experience”.
After retiring to the garden with a glass of wine she “looked up in the sky and saw this huge bright light behind a cloud – brighter than the moon but similar to the light from the moon”.
“I said to my husband and my friend, ‘that’s really odd”, so we walked down the grass and looked to see if there was any source,” she said.
“All of a sudden it moved, very quickly, from about 11 o’clock to 1 o’clock. Then it just did that, back and forth, for several minutes.
“Whenever it moved something shifted in the air – but it was silent. Absolutely silent.
“I’ve watched lights in the sky ever since.
“There’s not a day goes by I don’t think about it.”
She said her local newspaper ran a photo a neighbour had taken of the “sphere in the sky”.
One her album Kim describes the aliens as benign, singing: “Maybe they’ll save us from the apocalypse.”
