'SAS: Who Dares Wins' star Rudy Reyes believes in aliens.
SAS: Who Dares Wins chief instructor Rudy Reyes
The former US recon marine - who has taken over as the new Chief Instructor on the Channel 4 military show from axed Ant Middleton - says he has "seen some things that cannot be explained" which has convinced him of the existence of extraterrestrials.
Speaking to the Daily Star newspaper, he said: "I do believe we are not alone. I have seen some things that cannot be explained and had experiences
“Just recently my missus saw a UFO fly across in Nevada and it eclipsed the sky. It was a crescent moving forward across the sky.
“Do I believe? I am sure of it. There are a lot of things we barely understand. We are just beautiful little collections of carbon and magic wrapped together with a soul.”
Rudy was a team leader for over 50 patrols behind enemy lines and has served in Afghanistan and multiple desert patrols where he has seen lots of strange and unexplainable things, including horses which "glow".
He added: "There are a few secret areas out there. There is this place in California that is hidden away in the mountains where they have wild horses that run at night and sometimes they look like they are freaking glowing.
“We have done some pretty heavy duty training with some energy type weapons up there.
“And I have a ‘brother’ who did training in Area 51 and he could tell you some things that will really blow your mind. There is so much out there.”
The 50-year-old military man and former US Navy Seal Remi Adeleke have joined the programme as the new chief instructor and as a new DS (Directing Staff) alongside existing stars Foxy (Jason Fox) and Billy (Mark Billingham).
'SAS: Who Dares Wins' airs on Channel 4 on Sundays at 9pm.
