The former Take That star, who has often spoken about his interest in extra-terrestrial activity, said a strange light emerged in his recording studio in Los Angeles.

“I had just finished writing a song called 'Arizona', which is about alien abduction, when there was this glow. It was magic,” he told the Sun newspaper.

Earlier this year, Williams co-hosted a radio documentary about the UFO phenomenon.

In the show, Williams and an alien expert travelled to a UFO conference in Laughlin, Nevada.
