FRESNO, Calif. (KFSN) -- In case you missed it, basketball great Shaquille O'Neal appeared on Jimmy Kimmel Live Monday night.
When asked about his thoughts on UFOs, he had a special Central Valley shoutout when he says he saw one in the North Valley in 1997. Advertisement
"In Madera, California, and right when we passed the fairground, I could swear I saw a flying saucer come down with all the lights and it was spinning and then it took off," he said. "We all looked at each other and it was like, I know it was a UFO. I don't care what anybody says."
Shaq made a stop in the North Valley when he was on the Los Angeles Lakers.
He told Kimmel on his late-night show he was with friends on a double date and they were coming home from what was Hollywood Video in Madera at the time.
That's when he claims he made the stunning discovery.
Shaq says he had never told anyone that story for fears others would think he was crazy but says after that experience, he has no doubt in his mind that UFOs are real

O.K. I confess. About 30+ years ago a buddy and I worked 2nd shift at 2 different shops. It was early Sept. in northern York County, Pennsyltucky. Balmy & warm. After work we met a a local State Park; Pinchot Park. We rented a rowboat on the honor system and started fishing on Pinchot Lake. Zip, zero, nada. Even the mosquitos weren’t biting. So we both laid back at opposite ends of the boat and looked at the stars. By this time it was 1:00 A.M. or later.
Suddenly one of use exclaimed, “Look up there! Straight up and a little to the south west”. There were 6 or 8 lights, looking like stars, but moving around erratically. They were very high. As a private pilot I’d say they were 30k or more. They would start and stop, get dimmer and brighter, all independent of each other. Then they all instantly blinked out. Gone. They were gone for 10 minutes or more, and then they suddenly reappeared. Doing what they’d done before. Moving like no earthly aircraft ever could. After a while they shot off to the southwest and were gone in less than a second. And I noticed something else. On the ground, over toward the southwest I could hear dogs barking while the objects were up there. When they left, the barking stopped. That is all.
It was a flying sorcerer.
Sounds like he saw a ride at the fairgrounds and thought it was a flying saucer. Was alcohol involved?
What you saw is just one type of “UFO” or “UAP”. Yes, I think those are living beings. I have no clue where they come from or if they come from anywhere in particular.
There are also other flying things that have a much more solid appearance. I think those are unmanned probes, but that’s just a guess. I don’t think living beings advanced enough to come here would bother to bodily come here when they can just send probes.
It’s when we become important enough to contact that we are in real trouble. For now we seem to be fine.
That ain’t nothing. I saw one after drinking 10 modelos.
‘The General’ car insurance will likely drop Shaquille O’Neal - can’t have your spokesman claiming to have seen UFOs when you’re in the business of selling insurance.
Einstein wouldn't sound very smart reading the average radio commercial script.
Shaq says he had never told anyone that story for fears others would think he was crazy but says after that experience, he has no doubt in his mind that UFOs are real.
If he wants to have any credibility about anything, he needs to stop appearing on Jimmy Kimmel Live.
Shaq is a straight shooter. He is not a simple guy. He is more like Bill Russel than folks know.
