Many years on, Hawn says she spoke with an astrophysicist who had researched UFOs for the U.S. government. His questions helped her recall long fingers and the moment they touched her face—a sensation she describes as profoundly loving and moving. She has shared that same account previously, noting the recall felt like a regression session.
Host Jimmy Kimmel reminded viewers that longtime partner Kurt Russell has his own UFO story about strange lights over Phoenix in 1997. Hawn and Russell, together since 1983, share a blended family including Oliver, Kate, Wyatt and Boston, and she has even been told she’s from the Pleiades star system, she added.
