Beam them up! Humans have questioned the existence of life on other planets for centuries — including celebrities such as Demi Lovato, Tom DeLonge and Gigi Hadid.
The “Sorry Not Sorry” singer opened up about watching the 2020 documentary Close Encounters of the Fifth Kind on the “Wild Ride! with Steve-O” podcast in April of that year. The film explores the possibility of extraterrestrial civilizations and how they can make contact with humans.
“The first encounter would be, like, seeing a UFO,” Lovato explained. “The second would be some kind of proof being left behind. The third encounter would be, like, you have some sort of interaction with the alien. The fourth is, like, you’re on board, you get abducted and then the fifth is human-initiated contact with aliens. I sound nuts right now.”
DeLonge, for his part, is a longtime believer in aliens and UFOs. The former Blink-182 frontman revealed in February 2015 that he’s read 200 books about extraterrestrials.
“I don’t spend my time looking at UFO reports or talking to little green men,” he told Paper magazine at the time. “I’m way past that. If anybody tells you there’s no life in the universe, you should be turned off. That’s just such a dumb thing to say.”
He added, “I don’t think we’re working underground with aliens. I don’t think it’s like that, like some dumb conspiracy theorists think. I think what’s gonna happen, mark my words, is that they’re going to find the microbial life that they’ve been talking about on Mars and then, it’s one planet over. We’re gonna send people up there, and we’re gonna find remnants of other types of life.”
DeLonge launched his company To the Stars Academy, which researches UFOs, in 2015. Two years later, the New York Times uncovered the Pentagon’s Advanced Aerospace Threat Identification Program — a secret effort funded by the U.S. government to investigate UFOs. The program ran from 2007 to 2012, but some investigators in the now-defunct division have continued their research with DeLonge’s company.

The "Anyone" singer said they believe in aliens in a June 2014 interview with Seth Meyers. Lovato added that they also think mermaids could be real. "I believe that there could possibly be mermaids, which is actually an alien species that lives in parts of the Indian Ocean, which we have never explored before," they said.
They later claimed that they had an alien experience before filming the docuseries Unidentified With Demi Lovato for Peacock. "We went out into the desert in Joshua Tree and I basically saw this blue orb that was about 50 feet away, maybe less, and it was kind of, like, floating above the ground, just like 10 or 15 feet, and it was kind of keeping its distance from me,” Lovato told Daily Pop in September 2021.

Why shouldn’t he have been interested in UFOs?” writer John Hanson, who claims Philip had a dozen of his books on aliens, said. “Because for goodness sake, that is something that we should treat seriously rather than flippantly. It is a phenomenon that has baffled mankind for millennia.”

The “Midnight Sky” singer detailed an encounter she had with a UFO during an interview with Interview magazine in October 2020. “The best way to describe it is a flying snowplow. It had this big plow in the front of it and was glowing yellow,” she explained. “I did see it flying, and my friend saw it, too.” Cyrus added that she saw “a being sitting in front of the flying object” and that “it looked at me and we made eye contact.”

"Then the plane eventually runs into the spaceship, which is coming into orbit. It was like ... a large, orange, left-to-right moving object."

"I don't feel like aliens are going to be like, 'Oh, great! Let's get along.' They might not. They might want to destroy us. Have you seen a Tom Cruise movie? So, sometimes I look up into the stars and I'm like, 'Oh, wow. Oh, God."

Maybe there was a civilization there."
