Kurt Russell has told of seeing mysterious lights above Phoenix, Arizona, as he flew a plane into land.

Russell revealed all on the BBC One Show as he was interviewed with sci-fi film Guardians of the Galaxy Vol 2 co-star Chris Pratt.

Host Gyles Brandreth recounted the story of an unidentified pilot who was flying in his private aircraft with his son near an airport in Phoenix.

He said the pilot spotted six lights in the night sky and reported this to the control tower to find out what was going on.

Russell responded: “The tail number for that plane was Bonanza two Tango Sierra, and I was the pilot.”
