"Sammy Hagar&amp;apos;s new memoir is, well, out of this world.\r\nDuring an interview with MTV Hive, the former Van Halen frontman, 63, expounded upon several chapters in Red: My Uncensored Life in Rock, which detail his multiple alien abductions.\r\n\r\n&amp;quot;It was real,&amp;quot; Hagar insists. &amp;quot;Aliens were plugged into me. It was a download situation. This was long before computers or any kind of wireless. There weren&amp;apos;t even wireless telephones. Looking back now, it was like, &amp;apos;F**k, they downloaded something into me!&amp;apos; Or they uploaded something from my brain, like an experiment. &amp;apos;See what this guy knows.&amp;apos;&amp;quot;\r\n&amp;quot;People say there&amp;apos;s no other life in the universe. But you know how big the universe is? It&amp;apos;s freakin&amp;apos; huge!&amp;quot; he continues. &amp;quot;If we&amp;apos;re really the only ones out there, that&amp;apos;s scarier to me than thinking there are aliens.&amp;quot;\r\n\r\nAccording to Hagar, he&amp;apos;s been plagued by alien abductions since childhood.\r\n&amp;quot;One time I saw what I considered to be, well, at the time I thought it was a car with no wheels,&amp;quot; he recalls. &amp;quot;We lived out in the country and I saw this thing floating across a field, creating this big dust storm. I threw rocks at it and shit. And I don&amp;apos;t know what happened after that.&amp;quot;\r\n&amp;quot;I just have no memory of it,&amp;quot; he adds. &amp;quot;And it wasn&amp;apos;t a dream it was during daylight.&amp;quot;\r\nConfused by what happened, Hagar kept the occurrences to himself -- until now.\r\n\r\n&amp;quot;I couldn&amp;apos;t talk about it because I didn&amp;apos;t know how to explain it. I didn&amp;apos;t understand the technology. But now I&amp;apos;m pretty sure it was a wireless situation. Either a download or upload,&amp;quot; he guesses. &amp;quot;They were tapped into my brain and the knowledge was transferred back and forth. I could see them and everything while it was happening. There was a visual involved, almost like &amp;#x2026; I don&amp;apos;t know. Don&amp;apos;t get me going!&amp;quot;\r\nHagar is even considering penning a second book focused solely on his alien encounters.\r\nPHOTOS: Van Halen through the years\r\n&amp;quot;My opinions about the UFO stuff, well, I could write a whole book just devoted to that,&amp;quot; he says. &amp;quot;I love it, man. I&amp;apos;m into it deep.&amp;quot;"^^<http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema#string>
