Uri Geller, the spoon twister
This mystic goes by the name of Uri Geller. Of Israeli origin, he has been a household name for several decades: he is said to be capable of acting on objects from a distance thanks to his psychic powers. In the 70s and 80s, he used to make the rounds on TV, wowing crowds by bending spoons 'with his mind'.
In a recent interview with the Daily Mail, he explained that his powers were unlocked following an encounter of a different kind. As a child, he was playing in a garden when aliens suddenly appeared. He explains:
There was a mass or sphere of silvery light. And I remember thinking, 'What's happened to the sun?'
Following this apparition, his psychic powers were awakened. He says he has since been able to read his mother's mind or... bend spoons.
An imminent nuclear war, according to him
For some months now, the US government has been talking openly about Unidentified Aerospace Phenomena (UAP). This is what prompted Uri Geller to mention this meeting. He explained to the Daily Mail that he had a 'strong inner psychic feeling' that aliens would soon be returning:
This prediction could have been instilled in me by an extraterrestrial contact.
These aliens are expected to return to Earth in less than 5 years, but for what?
I believe they will return to put an end to nuclear weapons and the arms race.
Prophet or charlatan? We'll let you be the judge of Uri Geller's words. For the record, this man was at the root of a controversy surrounding... Pokémon! Convinced that Kadabra was an obscure reference to himself, Uri Geller clashed with Nintendo. As a result, the Pokémon kept a low profile in the media, until Uri Geller decided to drop the lawsuit.
