Fox News Geraldo Rivera claimed he once a saw a UFO when he was driving in the Bahama Banks while stoned on ecstasy.

The veteran conservative commentators revelation about driving under the influence came during a discussion about a House Intelligence Committee hearing on unidentified flying objects on Tuesdays broadcast of The Five.

Ive sailed around the world, Ive seen a lot of clear skies. Ive seen satellites, which are kind of spooky, weather balloons, stray aircraft, Rivera told his fellow panelists.

The only time I ever saw a UFO, I was stoned on ecstasy, he recalled. It looked like a great big North Star, brighter than the North Star, it was right on the horizon then I tried to avoid it. I steered around it.

You were driving on ecstasy? interrupted stunned co-host Emily Compagno.

It kept following me and I went back the other way, Rivera continued, ignoring the question. It was right in front of me. It just tracked me everywhere I went.

Riveras description of the incident suggested he was driving a boat, though it was unclear. He didnt say when it happened.
