The interviewer asks him, straight out, if he is mentally ill.
He says that he is not. He says he has a 196 IQ. He has no book to promote, nor movie to promote, and has no other agenda other than to let everyone know that the aliens will soon reveal themselves because we are “destroying the planet.”
He said the first time he was confronted by an alien he was 9 years-old looking out a window in the Bronx, watching kids play stickball. It sneaked up behind him in his bedroom.
After that he would always see a ring of smoke above his house no matter where he moved, and was aware of “missing time.” And once, in the Philippines, a saucer appeared above him the size of Yankee Stadium. His wife and some waiters were witnesses.
I can’t judge Kotto, because (keep in mind that, I too, have no movie or book to promote) I’ve also experienced missing time— the 2 minutes I spent reading this article!!
No, seriously.
I have seen weird things in the sky above my house, weird tubes that intersected and went on forever. I can only see them at night, and they appeared to only be about 8o feet off the ground.
It took time to see them. They seem to develop if you stared.
Did I mention my IQ is 196?
I might respect him more if he had active alien abduction threads on AboveTopSecret. 🙂
A high IQ means nothing if you are stoopid. Darwin is good!
“When I asked them what they saw, they said they saw a UFO as big as the Yankee Stadium turned upside down and they were freaking out.”
They must be from Boston 😉
With an IQ That High, He May be an Allien Himself ! LOL
Did he show where they probed him?
Maybe my IQ isn’t high enough to believe in ufos.
If he had said that he had an IQ of 194 I might believe him, but 196? Come on, that’s just BS.
If the saucer had curb feelers and fender skirts, it was Louie Farahkans spaceship. He’s in good hands.

If he’s got an IQ of 196 it must be on the metric scale.
Don’t let him fool you – he wasn’t abducted, he was KILLED!
Here’s the proof:

He’s obviously been replaced by an alien replicant designed to appear unbalanced and lull us into a false sense of security.
Don’t be tricked! Watch the skies!
It was a misprint. He said his IQ is 19.6
He kept interrupting the interview to complain about the fact that he and he and Harry Dean Stanton are not getting full shares and he’s not going to do any more work until this share situation is sorted out. Also if someone shows up at your door with a creature stuck to his face, don’t let him inside. He added “it takes a very high IQ to understand why you don’t do that”.
Hey!
Happns all the time.
My Iq is 212 and the aliens are alwez talkin ta me.
I can hear em even when I ain’t asleep.
Sometimes they come in the form of talkin bunnies – or talkin sqwirrrlllz.
Sumtimes their like l’il doctors – l’il girl doktars – who touch my ‘speshal porpoise’
Last night on the Cheers rerun Norm and Cliff walk into a new and very futuristic local bar.
NORM: “Wow, Cliffy, it looks like the inside of an alien space ship in here!”
CLIFF: “Uh, not really.”
Bring back the asylums…please?!?
Right……and they have a book titled “To serve man”.
How very sad, the aliens brought him back to earth. Rejected. To be truthful, I thought he had died. Guess he was just on a little interstellar trip.
He’d be more credible with Giorgio Tsoukalos hair.
In a nutshell, that’s what made me move to another state. Delaware planted a group home two houses down from me, and I swear Yaphet was one of my new neighbors.
Yaphet. lol
If he starts to look uncomfortable run away!
An IQ of 196, yet he chooses to ‘play pretend’ for a living. A real benefit to the future of mankind.
There was a Yaphet Kotto in the 30’s/40’s who was an actor/stuntman. He was in Gone With The Wind, I think as “Big Sam” the foreman of Tara.
I assumed these were father/son, but with Alien guardian angels and 196 IQ maybe it’s the same guy, never ageing because, Aliens.
Weird that a bunch of Phillipines resort waiters would all instantly choose a Massachusetts baseball landmark to describe size.
I’ll bet it all makes sense once your IQ exceeds 180.
Speaking of Alien 1979:
“Yaphet Kotto reveals he’s smoked more dope than any man alive.”
There, fixed the headline for you.
Having a high IQ does NOT mean you’re not mentally ill; just go to your local Mensa gathering and see for yourself.
And why do we always get the space alien perverts who want to probe us anally?
My sister goes to Mensa meetings and she readily admits that many of them are nuts.
“If he’s got an IQ of 196 it must be on the metric scale.”
That would be 49784 in English.
He said the first time he was confronted by an alien he was 9 years-old looking out a window in the Bronx, watching kids play stickball. It sneaked up behind him in his bedroom.
Sorry, Son, that was your Uncle Alfonse. He’s the one that made you see stars.
