John was living with May Pang at a Sutton Place apartment at the time of the sighting. In her book Loving John, May gives the following account of the incident:
I had just stepped out of the shower one Friday night toward the end of August when I heard John shout, "Fung Yee, come here."
"In a minute," I called back.
"Now, Fung Yee, Now!" he screamed.
He sounded panic-stricken, so I ran into the living room. I could see him standing naked on the terrace, and I ran out and stood beside him.
"What's the matter?" I asked.
"Look up there!" He pointed at the sky. "Tell me what you see." I looked up and couldn't believe my eyes. There was a saucer-shaped object surrounded by blinking white lights gliding through the sky. I was convinced it was a UFO.
"I can't believe it!" I exclaimed.
"You're seein' exactly what I see."
"I can't believe it," I repeated.
I was astonished. Then I began to laugh.
"What are you laughin' at?" asked John.
"Suppose it's looking at *us*. Maybe they think that everyone who lives on the East Side wanders around naked on their terraces Friday evenings. We look like Adam and Eve."
We watched the object gliding through the sky. Then we went inside, got our telescope, and studied it some more. "I almost didn't call you," John said. "I was afraid you wouldn't believe me. I thought you'd say, 'What is John on?' I didn't think anyone

-- Yoko Ono
I wonder if she did it on purpose - the 'Ur-anus' and 'third eye' thing...
geoffWell, Yoko did one lyric in which she stated to an unspecified person, "You're a dildo, I'm a whore." In a song called "No, no, no," Yoko claims: "You think 'Rock Hudson' when we do it."
Her live-in boyfriend at the time was Sam Havadoy -- a gay guy.
Weirdly, her relationship with Havadtoy lasted longer than any of her known marriages or romantic involvements.If you want to know, both John and May independently claim to have seen at least 1 UFO more after this. May's was in early 80's, after John's passing.
