That Time Fran Drescher Was Abducted By Aliens

Aliens walk (or crawl or ooze) among us, at least according to a government whistleblower who testified to Congress this week about the presence of “non-human biologics” found at UFO crash sites. While the Internet buzzes about the latest revelations, we could have just asked somebody who’s known about the reality of UFOs for years — Nanny star and SAG labor badass Fran Drescher. And she’s got the alien chip in her hand to prove it.

Drescher wasn’t the only one who met the little green men. She told Huffington Post back in 2012 that her ex-husband Peter Marc Jacobson had an encounter with the exact same alien visitors. "You know, it's funny because Peter and I both saw (aliens) before we knew each other,” she says. In an even more bonkers coincidence, the two strangers were doing the exact same thing, “driving on the road with our dads.” 

Both Drescher and Jacobsen were in junior high at the time they had their close encounters. “A few years later, we met and we realized that we had the same experience,” she says. “I think that somehow we were programmed to meet.” 

A blind date arranged by aliens? Pretty cool, but that’s not even the weird part. “We both have this scar. It's the exact same scar on the exact same spot." Drescher explains that both of them have the incision mark because aliens performed some simple outpatient surgery to inject an interstellar chip into each of their hands. 

What’s the purpose of this alien chip? Drescher doesn’t say. And unfortunately for you conspiracy theorists out there, Jacobsen has a different, more mundane explanation for their hand imperfections. He claims Fran’s scar is a result of a drill bit accident or burning herself with a cup of scalding-hot water. Well, which is it, Peter Marc? Multiple rationales just cast doubt on your boring version of the story.

Drescher, for the record, believes her ex’s explanation is also the product of an extraterrestrial scheme. “I said to him, that's what the aliens programmed us to think,” she clarified. “But really, that's where the chip is.”
