Kurt Russell has told of seeing mysterious lights above Phoenix, Arizona, as he flew a plane into land.
Russell revealed all on the BBC One Show as he was interviewed with sci-fi film Guardians of the Galaxy Vol 2 co-star Chris Pratt.
Host Gyles Brandreth recounted the story of an unidentified pilot who was flying in his private aircraft with his son near an airport in Phoenix.
He said the pilot spotted six lights in the night sky and reported this to the control tower to find out what was going on.
Russell responded: “The tail number for that plane was Bonanza two Tango Sierra, and I was the pilot.”
A new witness to the Phoenix Lights UFO incident has surfaced.
Kurt Russell says he got a bird's eye view of the Phoenix lights.
He said that he and Oliver Hudson, who is Goldie Hawn’s son from her first marriage and considers Russell his father, were flying into Phoenix.
He said: “We were on approach and I saw six lights over the airport in absolute uniform, in a V-shape."
Russell said they called the control tower which said its radar did not detect anything.
The actor said the pair of them gave it no further thought.
But around two years later he said he returned home to find Goldie Hawn watching a programme about the Phoenix Lights incident.
He said: "That was the most viewed UFO event. Over 20,000 people saw it.
"As I watched the show, I felt like Richard Dreyfuss from Close Encounters.”

Kurt Russell He felt as though for some reason he knew something about the event.
The show then mentioned that a pilot reported seeing the UFO upon landing, and that is when Russell thought to himself, “that was me”.
He said he went to check his log book and his flight coin diced with the Phoenix Lights incident.
He said: “The fascinating part to me is that it just went, literally, out of my head. Oliver never mentioned it.
"Had I not seen that show, I would have never thought of it. That, to me, was the weird part.”
Earlier this year, claims emerged that people suffered memory loss and numbness and did not speak about the Phoenix Lights incident afterwards.
Alejandro Rojas, host of Open Minds Radio, said: "Apparently, this is the first time Russell has told this story in public.
"Prior to this, Russell has not been associated with the famous Phoenix UFO sighting."
The infamous Phoenix Lights incident happened on March 13, 1997, when five lights were seen in a formation by thousands of people over three hours from 7.30pm to 10.30pm.
The sightings took place a cross a 300-mile area from Phoenix to Tucson.
It was blamed by officials as military flares at the time.

What is that thing? How a UFO brought the streets of New York to a standstill... on the very day predicted by retired US Air Force general
By DANIEL BATES
UPDATED: 15:13 BST, 15 October 2010
Was it a bird? A plane? A flying jellyfish? Or just a set of balloons that had caught the sunlight?
A mysterious set of shiny objects sparked a UFO alert over Manhattan yesterday when they were spied drifting over the trendy Chelsea district.
Traffic ground to a halt and thousands of people stopped in the street to point at the sky and the cluster of dots hovering overhead.

The truth is up there: Traffic ground to a halt and thousands looked to the skies at the strange object whizzing over Manhattan
Mystery: Police and the Federal Aviation Authority were deluged with calls and despite mounting an investigation were unable to ascertain what it was
Police and the Federal Aviation Authority were deluged with calls and despite mounting an investigation were unable to ascertain what it was.
Within minutes of the first sighting on Wednesday, pictures posted onto microblogging site Twitter and video on YouTube showed a number of tiny silver dots floating around 5,000ft above 23rd St and Eighth Avenue.
Most people were sceptical that the objects were extra terrestrial life, yet remained transfixed nonetheless.
Witness Daniel Calhoun, 52, said: ‘Common sense says it wasn't a UFO. Common sense says it was a plane or a balloon, but this thing stopped everyone in the street for two blocks.
Disbelief: People on the streets of New York were baffled
'Any New Yorker will tell you, that alone is extraordinary.’
Joseph Torres, 49, said: ‘It's been hovering there for a while. I'm just kind of baffled. How can it be ordinary? There is something going on.’
Witness Pete Bryant, 32, added: ‘I saw five or six lights shining in the sky. There was no way that thing was a balloon.
‘There was something weird about it. Light just doesn't reflect off balloons like that.’
Some blog posts linked the sighting to a book published by a retired US Air Force officer which said that October 13, the very day the sighting happened, would witness ‘a massive UFO display over the world's principal cities'.
Stanley A. Fulham said in his book ‘Challenges of Change’ that aliens will neither land nor communicate on that date and claimed they are ‘aware from eons of experience with other planets in similar conditions their sudden intervention would cause fear and panic'.
Other witnesses said the sighting was a ‘real Superman moment’, after the comic book hero who lived in New York.

Tim Powell, 28 , said it was ‘the most bizarre thing I've ever seen.
'It looked like a jellyfish made of lights that just hovered in the sky like it wanted to be seen,’ he said.
‘I was half expecting the aliens to beam down and introduce themselves.’
The FAA was unable to find anything abnormal or offer an explanation as to what had happened.
Spokesman Jim Peters said technicians double-checked their radar settings but nothing was amiss. He had also not been informed of any weather balloons due to be in the area.
‘Nothing that we can account for would prompt this kind of response,’ he said.
It has been some time since New York had a UFO scare, although in May a strange object was reported over the skies of New Jersey.
Residents of Somerville and Bridgewater called the police when they saw the long cylindrical object hurtling through the sky - which looked and sounded like an aeroplane.
