HOUSTON, Texas - Chris Hardman won't be insulted if you don't believe him. After all, not even his fiancee believes in UFOs. But Hardman swears he has videotaped dozens of extraterrestrial spacecraft over the past year, both here in Houston and in Austin.
"Most of them are triangular in shape or kind of a teardrop," Hardman says.

He posts these videos on his YouTube channel where you can now view many clips, including last Saturday's close encounter with what he describes as an alien flying machine that approached within a few hundred feet. "They're totally silent, but this is the one time I could actually hear one, it got so close. It made kind of a humming sound."
MUFON, the Mutual UFO Network, lists many reports of UFO sightings over Harris County so far in 2009. Hardman thinks that number is grossly underestimated, which is why he keeps his camera handy and his YouTube channel busy.
"People should know about it. People should pay more attention to what's going on over their head." Hardman is not alone in the belief that earth creatures are not alone in the universe.
[Van Halen and] Chickenfoot lead vocalist Sammy Hagar has an alien face depicted on his guitar because he says aliens made contact with him when he was 20 years old.
The popular singer and founder of the Cabo Wabo tequila brand also says that aliens downloaded music into his brain.
- Sammy Hagar: Aliens Abducted Me
Sammy Hagar may have been on a bunch of “trips” as a rocker, but in a new book Red: My Uncensored Life in Rock, the former Van Halen lead singer swears he’s gone intergalactic -- having been abducted by aliens. Hagar told MTVHive.com that his dreamlike descriptions of extraterrestrial encounters reflected actual events. The rocker writes in his book, “I saw a ship and two creatures inside of this ship… And they were connected to me, tapped into my mind through some kind of mysterious wireless connection.”
