Former Eastern Michigan star says he saw UFO during Raiders’ flight

At 6-5, 255 pounds with elite agility and quickness off the edge, it wouldn’t be nuts to say Maxx Crosby is an alien on the football field.

But when it comes to the existence of actual extra-terrestrial life and UFOs, the 3-time Pro-Bowl defensive end from Michigan has zero doubts.

During an appearance on the Jim Rome Show on June 7, the former Eastern Michigan star told the host that he’s a firm believer that we are not alone.

“Oh, there definitely is,” Crosby said when asked if there are aliens and UFOs among us. “That’s not even a question. I don’t want anybody to come after me but that’s public information.”

Crosby, who had 14.5 sacks with the Las Vegas Raiders last season, even went as far to say that he and his teammates saw a UFO during a flight last season.

“It’s real,” Crosby said of aliens. “Like we were literally on a flight back from Miami, and we’ve seen a UFO with our own eyes. And that sounds crazy, but you can ask the pilots, anybody that was there. It was wild. And I seen it, and they had no idea what it was. There was nothing on the radar, nothing. And it was like a big shining light going in and out. People have their own opinions, but I feel like there’s a lot out there that people don’t know and for me I’m always curious to figure out the unknown.”

Rome’s question was prompted by a conversation Crosby had with Raiders center Andre James on Crosby’s podcast, “The Rush with Maxx Crosby.”

The rest of the conversation focused on Crosby’s underdog rise with the Raiders and his desire to stay in Las Vegas (sorry Lions fans) and his recovery from substance abuse and efforts to help others dealing with similar issues.

Crosby and the Raiders are coming off an 8-9 season in 2023. They open the 2024 season at Jim Harbaugh and the Chargers on Sept. 8.
