In a surprising turn of events, former UFC champion Georges St-Pierre, affectionately known as GSP, has caught the attention of a new generation of mixed martial arts fans with an unexpected social media post. The retired Canadian, known for his strategic prowess in the octagon, shared a video of what he believes to be an UFO sighting.
St-Pierre, who last competed professionally in 2017, has always been vocal about his interest in unexplained phenomena and extraterrestrial life. However, this recent post has reignited discussions among both long-time followers and newer UFC enthusiasts who may not be as familiar with the legend’s off-mat pursuits.
The post, shared on St-Pierre’s official social media accounts, shows a bright, fast-moving object in the night sky.
“If you are not aware of this topic, it is high time you learn more about it. UFOs (Unidentified Flying Objects) are now called UAPs (Unidentified Anomalous Phenomena) because these strange things have sometimes been detected not only in the air but also in the water by sophisticated military instruments.
I’m really curious to know what it is, are you???”
While some fans have expressed skepticism, many have praised St-Pierre for his openness and willingness to share such experiences. The post has sparked lively debates in online MMA forums, with fans discussing everything from the possibility of extraterrestrial life to St-Pierre’s enduring influence on the sport.
Previously GSP even discussed UFOs in several interviews.
Since ending your illustrious career in 2019, you have devoted time to other projects such as starring in films and TV shows, but you’ve also had to field repeated questions about UFOs. Could you explain this?
I’ve seen a UFO. However, I’m not qualified to define such an object, I’m not an astrophysicist. There were five people in the car, known athletes including Ali Abdel Aziz. We were in New Mexico and we saw something in the sky while we were driving. We saw the thing move in a way I’d never seen, it lasted a few seconds. We said, “OMG, what was that?!” The most special thing is that when we describe what we saw, we describe it in different ways. People take us for liars. We witnessed the same event, but when we describe what happened, we don’t perceive it in the same way. That’s what’s special. I’ve read a lot of books and I know that when the European colonies arrived on boats, the Native Americans didn’t see the boats because they were outside of their frame of reference. You can’t describe something that is beyond what you know. I describe UFOs in this way because I’ve never seen anything else like it. It could be a natural phenomenon that I can’t explain.
It piques my curiosity. I’m a rational person. When I’m not capable of explaining something, it drives me mad. I find it exciting, especially since the Pentagon has declassified some research projects and made them public. I find that even more fascinating. NASA has declared only one team studies this kind of phenomenon. We are living in very exciting times. Even people in the army are no longer afraid of being ridiculed for talking about it.
GSP also discussed UFOs in appearance on the Lex Fridman podcast, telling Lex:
“It’s exciting to me that there’s intelligent creatures out there far beyond perhaps the intelligence of our own that are just too far away to explore yet, but we might one day come in contact with them.”
“We might not be understanding what’s at the higher dimensions or, yeah, I mean, higher dimensions in whatever form that means, you know, there’s all these physical theories now that describe a world with dimensions that’s much higher than the four dimensions of the three dimension of space in the one dimension of time.”
“Secrets don’t make sense. They share the knowledge, right? Share the knowledge. Like being afraid to share the knowledge, I think I hope is an old idea.”
“Imagine if it’s true, man. Imagine if we’re like a fish in the water, we live in our own world and sometimes there’s a fisherman that grabbed the fish, yeah, they came out of the water and threw it back in the water and the fish goes back to the other fish is like, ‘Hey, there’s someone that that take me out of the water.'”
