If extraterrestrial beings were ever to make contact, they could certainly do a lot worse when it comes to earthlings than Miley Cyrus .

The pop star revealed that she once had a close encounter of the peak Miley kind after being chased down by a UFO while traveling through Southern California with a friend. Or, you know, maybe it was the weed wax she admittedly bought from a guy in a van beforehand.

In a conversation with designer Rick Owens for Interview magazine published on Monday, Cyrus recalled the experience in vivid detail.

I was driving through San Bernardino with my friend, and I got chased down by some sort of UFO. Im pretty sure about what I saw, but Id also bought weed wax from a guy in a van in front of a taco shop, so it could have been the weed wax, she explained. But the best way to describe it is a flying snowplow. It had this big plow in the front of it and was glowing yellow. I did see it flying, and my friend saw it, too.

Cyrus said that perhaps the most unsettling part of the encounter was locking eyes with the being piloting the UFO.
