• Conspiracy Theories and Hidden Evidence
  • Miley believes that videos featuring strong UFO evidence often disappear from the internet—suggesting suppression of information ([06:41]).

— Miley Cyrus ([06:41])

---

6. PR Implications and Miley’s Self-Awareness

“No, dude, it’s all publicity. We’re talking about my record. People are gonna be like, dude, this girl’s a freak. Let’s go buy her single.”
— Miley Cyrus ([10:46])

[Host (Bird Show)]

This is the Bird Show. All right, so Miley Cyrus. You're not gonna believe this, y'.

[Miley Cyrus]

All.

[Host (Bird Show)]

I mean, we have had her on a ton of times. A ton of times we've had Miley on.

[Co-host Jen]

She's been even in studio with us a couple of different times. When we introduced her to Twitter, remember Jeff and Wendy signed her up for a Twitter account and that was a really big deal.

[Host (Bird Show)]

And she thought it was a great idea at the time. Great.

[Co-host Jen]

She was tweeting like crazy. She had millions of followers. And then she bounced on that.

[Host (Bird Show)]

Right.

[Co-host Jen]

And. And then Wendy and I got to sit down with her. What was that back in November? That's right when she was here for her concert at Phillips Arena. So Miley and the Bird show have a good relationship.

[Co-host]

We like this.

[Host (Bird Show)]

Right. So maybe she's just feeling so comfortable with us now where she feels like she can talk about anything.

[Co-host]

Right.

[Host (Bird Show)]

Cause, wow, did she yesterday.

[Co-host Jen]

She went off on a tangent for a little while.

[Host (Bird Show)]

It was one of those tangents.

[Co-host]

It was a crazy rant.

[Host (Bird Show)]

Yeah, it's a crazy rant. But it actually went on so long, we've had to edit it in the clips. It went on so long that we all sort of left the room. We went to Jersey Mike's. We came back, she was still talking about aliens. I went and I put Hollis down for a nap and then I came back. I mean, she went on and on and on about this. It's a real passion of hers and the families.

[Bubba Wallace]

Yeah.

[Host (Bird Show)]

Because I think that's how we got into it. I think Jen asked the question, like, I heard you're doing, like, a reality TV show or your. Your dad is.

[Co-host Jen]

Yeah. She talked about how her family's really private. So I asked if she would do one. And I'm like, but wait a second. And she said, no. I'm like, but wait a second. Your dad and your brother are doing a reality TV show? So. Because I thought, well, if it's about her dad and her brother, they've gotta be around her and cameras in their home. And that's when she explained, no, no, no. This is a different kind of reality TV show. It's about something completely different.

[Host (Bird Show)]

All right, so this is the first clip where we just start talking to her about it. And at this point, you gotta know that if you're in studio and there's a camera on us, we're looking at each other like, huh, she being serious right now.

[Co-host]

I mean, our jaws are dropped.

[Miley Cyrus]

My dad and my brother are obsessed with aliens. So really? They've. Yeah, so they've been doing a little alien hunting and.

[Co-host]

Really?

[Host (Bird Show)]

That's funny.

[Miley Cyrus]

Yeah. No, it's dead serious, dude. I will give you documentaries. Aliens are scary. And I've, like, been reading about them because my dad and my brother and I swear I saw him the other day. I was up to, like, five in the morning, like, recording this. I came into work with, like, the biggest, like, eye bags. I was, like, showing these guys videos, like, freaking out. Like, for real. We're obsessed with aliens.

[Host (Bird Show)]

You're jacking with us. Come on.

[Miley Cyrus]

No, for real, dude. It's crazy. You have to read some of this stuff for real. It's nuts.

[Host (Bird Show)]

Okay? Now somewhere in there, she said, like, we go out and we video these things. So she continues to talk about recording and trying to find aliens, right? And I think in this clip, this is the one where she's with her brother.

[Miley Cyrus]

No, dude. Okay, So I was, like, laying in my bed. I was, like, chilling, watching, like, Jersey Shore or something. And then like, all of a sudden, this giant light was, like, in my window. And I was like, oh, that must be a satellite, because, like, satellites run through our neighborhood all the time. And then it started doing, like, figure eight in the sky, dude. And I was like, oh, my gosh, what is that? So I called my brother and we started videoing. And we went over to my house because my house has, like, a bigger backyard. So we walked over to my house and we, like, got in the backyard and we sat outside till literally, like, 3:30 in the morning, videoing this thing. It was like making these crazy colors and going side. Like, by, like, doing this vibrating thing. And then all of a sudden, all these unmarked helicopters started, like, circling around and all this crazy stuff. And I was like, oh, my gosh. It's like the military, they're going to come, like, shoot this thing down because it's, like, for real as an alien. And they're about to invade. And me and my brother, like, we're going to have all this crap, like, on our computer right now. Like, we were so excited. Your mother were, like, jumping around.

[Host (Bird Show)]

Okay, so just to get this straight, Miley Cyrus is saying that she's in the back of her house, she's videoing, she sees an alien. And then all of a sudden, helicopters are around also circling. Circling and focusing on this alien.

[Co-host]

Yeah, Miley, years ago, every time. Yeah. When she was talking about this, it reminded me. One of my jobs years ago was working at a bookstore where I was in charge, providing books at, like, conventions or book fairs or whatever on certain topics. And I went to an alien. I had to go to an alien convention and sit at a table with all the alien books from the bookstore. I mean, serious. I mean, serious. And the way she's talking, I mean, she completely would fit in. And there are completely. There's a huge crew of people that are. We totally buy what she just said. Really?

[Host (Bird Show)]

I do not necessarily think that there aren't aliens. I do believe, like, there's no way in the world, in this, in everything, that we can be the only life form. I just don't believe that they're hanging out at Miley Cyrus backyard in her backyard. She is very passionate and thinks they are very real, though.

[Miley Cyrus]

I mean, we were like. We were freaking out because we were like. They say that cameras on their spaceship. So we were like, what if tomorrow on, like, the news, it's like a picture of me that the aliens took and they put it on cnn and we're, like, telling me that I was, like, calling them to come down. All this crazy stuff. It was nuts.

[Co-host]

Hey, Miley.

[Miley Cyrus]

Yo.

[Co-host]

You hear yourself right now, right?

[Miley Cyrus]

It's true. If you read the documentaries and, like, if you watch the DVDs I watched, you would totally believe it.

[Co-host]

Can we go alien hunting with you?

[Miley Cyrus]

No, for real. It's crazy, dude. And some of these DVDs that you watch, you can't even buy in the States because, like, they're just so crazy.

[Host (Bird Show)]

Do you know that your record label is going to ask for one of those random Drug tests today. Right?

[Miley Cyrus]

I know. It's facts, it's fact. There's been too many. Like, for real. There's been so much stuff, like, for real. There's a lot of weird stuff on YouTube that isn't real. But there's also on YouTube that is real.

[Host (Bird Show)]

Okay? So we could have been done with that. We could have moved on, and we could have talked about her new album that comes out on June 22, or the conversation that she had with Justin Bieber. She wouldn't let it go. Let's move on, Miley.

[Miley Cyrus]

And, like, I've gone. I've gone to look at videos of Alien. Me and my brother will find the video and I'll favorite it or I'll tell people about it, and the next day it'll be gone. Because the whole world would just freak out if, like, they knew the aliens existed.

[Co-host Jen]

Is this one of those things you would tell your boyfriend and he would pat you on the head and go, you're so pretty.

[Miley Cyrus]

No, Liam. Liam freaks out. Liam is way more into it than me. We're all freaked out. The only person that doesn't believe it is my mom. And my mom hates us. And we were at Mother's Day dinner, and she, like, got up from the table because we were all screaming about it. And, like, you should have seen it. Like, it was the worst. Like, people were so ready for us to leave because me and my little brother were yelling because he was like, that doesn't make sense. You can't travel up the speed of light. Blah, blah. I'm like, yeah, it says Einstein, but aliens are smarter than Einstein. And, like, just, like, yelling back and forth. And then my big sister was like, well, if you look at the Bible. And my brother's like, if you look at these documentaries, like, just fighting, fighting, fighting. My mom was, like, ready to kill us.

[Host (Bird Show)]

So I just want you guys to imagine the Cyrus family sitting around the dinner table all debating aliens, and one is throwing out Bible. I mean, it's bizarre, right?

[Co-host]

It's a Saturday Night Live skit.

[Co-host Jen]

It's actually kind of cool. I kind of like their family more that they're, like, actually into this and debating it.

[Co-host]

Quirky.

[Co-host Jen]

It makes them normal.

[Host (Bird Show)]

Here's Chris. Good morning, Chris. You're on the Burt Show.

[Bubba Wallace]

Morning.

[Miley Cyrus]

I gotta call you guys out for a second.

[Host (Bird Show)]

Okay.

[Bubba Wallace]

So you spend hours talking about these ghost hunter things where you're arguing over tape, recorded voices and sounds, but, you know, you immediately give Miley a hard time about this.

[Host (Bird Show)]

No, we're not giving Miley well, well, yes and no.

[Co-host Jen]

Ghosts and aliens are two totally different things.

[Host (Bird Show)]

And that is true.

[Miley Cyrus]

No, we're really talking about proof versus not proof. I mean, you know.

[Co-host Jen]

No, you're right.

[Co-host]

I think, I don't think whether it's true or not. I am just amused by her passion.

[Host (Bird Show)]

Yes.

[Co-host]

Like, I mean, it would be the equivalent of if three days before the ghost hunters came in, one of us was. I can't wait for the ghost hunters. I wonder what they're gonna hear on the recorder. I wonder what's coming.

[Miley Cyrus]

Hello.

[Co-host]

Did you hear that? Oh, it's great. It's like, bring it down. Bring it down.

[Co-host Jen]

It was the same as that Siobhan talking about Hanson, right? She was like oddly into Hanson.

[Host (Bird Show)]

Here is Miley Cyrus being more oddly into aliens. Let it go.

[Miley Cyrus]

I think that one day that like, people can't keep the hush hush on the aliens forever, but the world would just like freak out. I think that if people actually thought like, actually saw. But there's been so many. There's been so many videos of like abductions and like crazy stuff that like, it's just crazy. Like there's so many like, for real, it really. When you are here, I do see you. You will not leave a table with me for like less than four hours because I will just like tell you all the stuff and by the end you'll walk out being like, oh my God. Oh my God. It's crazy.

[Host (Bird Show)]

It would take longer than four hours to convince it that aliens are hanging out in your backyard. Miley Cyrus.

[Miley Cyrus]

I mean, if you see this stuff, if you see and you watch the documentaries I see, you'll believe it.

[Co-host Jen]

If you were an alien, wouldn't you pick Miley Cyrus to expose yourself to?

[Miley Cyrus]

No, because they don't want to. They don't want to be. They don't want to. They don't want to be like, you know, like thrown out on the covers of stuff. They don't want to be on TV and on magazines. They want to do their test and like know what we're about and, and discover what our. What our planet is about. But they don't want to be like, exploited.

[Host (Bird Show)]

So it's almost like her answer was so quick on that. Like, that's actually. She's discussed that.

[Co-host Jen]

Oh, yeah. Oh, yeah.

[Co-host]

No, Jen. They don't want to be known.

[Co-host Jen]

They don't want to be known. Why would they come to me?

[Co-host]

Yeah, yeah. If they, they would go to somebody like, nobody knows, like Demi Lovato, somebody like that.

[Host (Bird Show)]

So Jen had an Interesting point. While we're talking to her, because she's. We're imagining there are a bunch of PR people around listening to this conversation. And at one point they must have been like, you need to shut up about this. Right.

[Miley Cyrus]

My pelvis is on the other line, but no one can talk. I can't stop talking. The truth. I'm never gonna. Miley Cyrus think aliens are dope. So I have alien. I have alien things all over my room. Like I'm obsessed.

[Co-host]

Here's what your publicist is doing. Hey, is this James from the James St. James Show? Hi. Listen, Miley's gonna be late cause she's on an alien rant. Atlanta morning show.

[Miley Cyrus]

No, dude, it's all publicity. We're talking about my record. People are gonna be like, dude, this girl's a freak. Let's go buy her single.

[Host (Bird Show)]

So she knows at the end of the day, it's about publicity. And now Jeff raised a great point earlier this morning too. This is gonna be publicity for her dad's reality TV show that hasn't shot yet.

[Co-host Jen]

They're just even talking about a reality TV show.

[Host (Bird Show)]

Bizarre. Bizarre. So we'll put that up online and I guarantee you the tabloids will grab that audio today. And that will be in every major tabloid. That Miley Cyrus and her family are totally believers of aliens.
