Uri Geller claims to have touched a piece of UFO

The psychic and illusionist hit out at the US government after a military chief suggested that no alien wreckages have been discovered.

The deputy director of US Naval Intelligence Scott Bray told Congress that nothing found "isn't consistent with being of terrestrial origin" and Uri has been left angered by the claims after encountering UFO debris during the 1970s.

He said: "I know the US government does have material. I wish the US government would just come out and admit it.

"Either it was just an unfortunate choice of words or they are still covering this up.

"It has made me angry."

Recalling his extraterrestrial encounter, the 75-year-old said: "I was shown a piece and asked to hold it and describe what I felt.

"It was metallic, smooth, pearl-like, with rainbow reflective 'skin'. When I held it I sensed vibrations. It felt like it was breathing... as if it was alive."
