It seems long-shot Democratic presidential candidate Dennis Kucinich had a near-miss with a unidentified flying object.

So says actress Shirley MacLaine in a book to be published next month, “Sage-ing While Age-Ing.” Publisher Simon & Schuster says MacLaine, who won an Oscar in 1984 for “Terms of Endearment,” explores in the book, among other things, “Are we alone in the universe?”

Apparently not, if the book is to be believed.

The Cleveland Plain Dealer reported that MacLaine wrote that her good friend Kucinich “had a close sighting over my home in Graham, Washington, when I lived there.”

“Dennis found his encounter extremely moving. The smell of roses drew him out to my balcony where, when he looked up, he saw a gigantic triangular craft, silent, and observing him,” she wrote.

“It hovered, soundless, for 10 minutes or so, and sped away with a speed he couldn’t comprehend. He said he felt a connection in his heart and heard directions in his mind.”

There was no word from the Kucinich campaign or his Ohio congressional office as to the veracity of the claim.
