Throughout his many decades in the public eye, Prince Philip was an especially interesting figure that amassed quite a deal of curiosity from fans of the royal family. The Duke of Edinburgh had a truly fascinating life – from his incredible family lineage to his 73 year marriage to the Queen of England, the royal was certainly extraordinary (via the Irish Times). However, as it turns out, you might not know as much about the late prince as you thought you did. Sources say that he was interested in something that no one would have ever expected, and that he dedicated quite a bit of his life to understanding it as best he could.
Philip was fascinated by UFOs and extraterrestrial life. He was even subscribed to Flying Saucer Review, a quarterly magazine established in 1955 that claims to be the “leading and longest established international journal dealing with UFOs and all aspects of alien encounters,” (via the UK Metro). He also began collecting things to further entertain his secret hobby.

Horsley wrote about a close encounter with some sort of being, which he called an “alien,” in London in 1954. Is his 1997 autobiography Sounds From Another Room, he wrote that the alien was called “Mr. Janus” and that it could read his mind. “He didn’t say he was a visitor from another planet — but I had that impression,” he wrote. “I believe he was here to observe us. I never saw him again. I have no qualms about the reaction to my experience with Mr. Janus.” He added that the alien had requested to meet Philip, whom he described as a “man of great vision.”
