The royal family might know more about UFOs than we think – especially King Charles.
A new documentary, King of UFOs, has been exploring the family’s connection with extra-terrestrial life. They even claim Charles could have controlled a UFO long before he took to the throne..
The documentary, made by British musician and alien fanatic Mark Christopher Lee, is now available to stream on Amazon Prime. He spoke to a diver named Dan Costello, who made some wild claims about the monarch.

While the were both in Nova Scotia, Canada, in 1975, he said he saw Charles controlling “a saucer-shaped craft with dual rotor blades.” He was 27 at the time, and was said to be steering the “odd looking object.”

“It would sit and hover in the sky with the blades not on [rotating] with no sound of propulsion, just a faint crackle of electromagnetism,” Costello said. He then said the aircraft was probably not really made by aliens, and suggested it could have instead been a secret operation from the British and Canadian Governments.
However, the King does have a well-documented interest in aliens. Charles first gained his interest in other-worldly beings from his father and Lord Mountbatten.
Supposedly, Lord Mountbatten had several papers about UFOs and encouraged newspaper editor Charles Eade to publish his findings. Mountbatten did not want his name to be included, but was said to have strong opinions.
Mountbatten claimed to have seen flying objects after the end of the Second World War which he believed were created by aliens. His letters to Eade reveal: “The available evidence shows they are not of human agency, that is to say they do not come from our Earth.

“If that is so, then presumably they must come from some heavenly body, probably a planet. Maybe it is the Shackletons and Scotts of Venus or Mars who are making their first exploration of our Earth.”
Charles and Prince Philip were among the first subscribers to the magazine Flying Saucer Review, launched in London during 1955 and edited by retired RAF pilot Derek Dempster.
The full extent of the King’s fascination with UFOs is not known, nor is Prince Phillip. The pair have not publicly spoken about their interest in the topic.
Several contributors to King Of UFOs said that the Royal Archives at Windsor Castle include sealed files that are not to be opened until 90 years after his death – so there could be more to come.
