Uri Geller has sensationally claimed aliens are planning a "mass landing soon" on Earth.
The self-proclaimed psychic used a post on Instagram to warn his fans of the apparent invasion and to implore space agencies to begin deciphering the aliens' messages.
"My dear friends, a team mapping radio waves in the universe has discovered something unusual that releases a giant burst of energy three times an hour, and it's unlike anything astronomers have seen before," the spoon-bender wrote.

"No doubt in my mind that this is connected to alien intelligence way way superior than ours. Start deciphering their messages! They are preparing us for a mass landing soon!"
Geller appeared to be referring to the recent discovery of an object 4,000 light years away from Earth that is releasing radiation as it spins through space. Dr Natasha Hurley-Walker, who led the Australian team who discovered the object, said it was "appearing and disappearing over a few hours during our observations".
She continued: "'That was completely unexpected. It was kind of spooky for an astronomer because there's nothing known in the sky that does that. And it's really quite close to us — about 4,000 light years away. It's in our galactic backyard."
Hurley-Walker said the observations matched a predicted, but hitherto unobserved, astrophysical phenomenon known as an ultra-long period magnetar - a neutron star or white dwarf with a particularly powerful magnetic field. There is no suggestion from the scientists that it is in any way connected to aliens.
"It's a type of slowly spinning neutron star that has been predicted to exist theoretically," she told MailOnline. "But nobody expected to directly detect one like this, because we didn't expect them to be so bright. Somehow it's converting magnetic energy to radio waves much more effectively than anything we've seen before."
Hurley-Walker and her team published their findings in the highly respected scientific journal Nature. They plan on continuing to observe the object while looking for others like it.
