The country music star took to social media to share footage of “unexplainable things” that she claimed followed her plane for “hundreds of miles”

Kacey Musgraves thinks there’s something out there.
In several posts shared to social media within a 24-hour time frame this week, the 37-year-old music country star claimed she and one of her managers were traveling by plane when they spotted a UFO in the skies.
“I flew from Ft. Worth (Texas) to Nashville. It was me and one of my managers, Bobby [Simmons], and we just had the craziest f--king orb, UFO experience,” the artist, whose Instagram handle is fittingly spaceykacey, said in an Instagram Stories video on Thursday, April 9.

Musgraves said she was just about to lay down for a nap when she “saw these lights that caught my eye that just didn’t look normal,” so she watched the three orbs for a while.
The “Space Cowboy” singer claimed it wasn’t her first time seeing “crazy things.”
“I’ve seen fire, burning in the sky, things that I can’t explain, so it’s not the first time,” she said, later adding, “I noticed them. I’m a noticer, I’m always noticing things.”
She claimed she first noticed the orbs in Little Rock, Ark., and that she and Bobby watched the orbs for about 45 minutes while they were 55,000 feet above the ground.
“These orbs were not moving like any [air]craft that we can control. They were intermittently coming and going, forming triangle patterns,” Musgraves said of the unidentified flying objects that were “orange-ish” but would sometimes “get extremely bright and change color, change size.”

Musgraves said she and her manager also asked the pilots if they’d seen the same things, and the pilots told them they had, “every single night,” and that their colleagues in different states said the same thing.
“So yeah, s--t is weird, but [I’m] here for it. I am open to it,” she said.
In a fourth Instagram Stories video, the musician added, “Like I said, this is only one of many, many, very strange, unexplainable things that I have seen.”

She also asked her fans and followers to let her know if they’d seen anything similar.
Musgraves then posted a fifth slide to her Instagram Stories, saying that just when she was arriving home, she spotted another UFO in the sky.
Next, she uploaded her recordings from the plane, adding a white arrow to highlight the lights in the sky. “Wow,” a woman’s voice said.
The footage continued for several more posts, with her writing on one slide that the orbs "kept up with our plane for hundreds of miles.”
On Friday, April 10, Musgraves shared several Instagram Stories updating her followers on her experience.

“By the way, I’m seeing people on Instagram, they’re like, ‘Oh, it was satellites, it was drones, it was Starlink.’ No it wasn’t!” she said while riding horseback in a selfie video.
“I’ve seen drones," she continued. "I’ve seen satellites. We know what those f--king look like. I’ve even seen Starlink twice. It was not that. It was nowhere near that.”

Musgraves claimed what she saw was different from those objects because the were “that high up, that fast, multi-directional, changing colors, [and] changing size,” claiming they also “travelled hundreds of miles.”
“Humans have been seeing strange things like this for centuries, and we’ve been trying to figure out how to describe it," he concluded. "What it is. I mean, think about the Bible. Think about the way that they would describe visits from angels. Wheels of fire, chariots of fire, what’s that? Come on."
