The legendary Motörhead leader Lemmy Kilmister claimed to have seen a UFO back in 1966. That was before he were Jimi Hendrix's roadie and was a member of Hawkwind. Lemmy was playing in a beat combo called The Rockin' Vickers. The musician talked about it in an interview with Revolver back in 2013. Lemmy Kilmister said about seeing a UFO back in the 60's: "In 1966 we were coming back over the Yorkshire Moors which, incidentally, was before I even drank beer, so it couldn't have been some acid flashback. So this thing came over the horizon and stopped dead in the middle of the sky." "Then it went from a standstill to top speed, immediately. We don't even have aircraft that do that now, never mind then. So that was pretty eye-opening for me." Also curiously on the song "We Are Motörhead" from the self-titled 2000 album Lemmy brings the UFO's to the song saying: "We are Motörhead and we don't have no class... We bring you UFOs, saucers in the sky."

We bring you UFOs, saucers in the sky We shoot you full of noise, we aim to kill We burn like motherfuckers, spit right in your eye We fight authority, we glorify free will We are the ones you heard of, but you never heard We are electric prophets, here to twist the world We are the flame at night, the fire in the trash We are motorhead, we are motorhead (3x) Lemmy Kilmister death Lemmy Kilmister unfortunately died in 2015 at his home in Los Angeles, California, on December 28, at the age of 70, due to aggressive prostate cancer, cardiac arrhythmia and heart failure.
