It has been a few days since we last heard from Jose Canseco. He had tweeted out that he was going to contact the IRS, and since then, silence. Given the subject matter, it is entirely possible that Canseco did something to get himself into trouble and had been languishing in prison somewhere.
Instead, Canseco was simply spending some time with friends. His ever present space aliens not only took care of Canseco following a plane crash, but they helped him make his way to an appearance on time.
Flying to New York this morning my plane crashed I was swimming to my appearance and aliens picked me up they're going to drop me off at my appearance at 1 o'clock today see you guys then

Jose Canseco rescued from plane crash by aliens
There is a lot to unpack here. First, one would imagine that Canseco being in a plane crash would be newsworthy on its own. Even if his star faded over the years, he was one of the greatest players in the game in the late 1980s and into the 1990s. His name is still recognized to this day. A plane carrying Canseco going down anywhere would be a major story.
Second, his first thoughts after emerging from the crash was to get to his appointment in New York. Not to check on the pilot, any crew, or other passengers – to get to his appearance on time. So he begins swimming? Makes sense.
Third, we have the ever present aliens. Fortunately, Canseco’s buddies were keeping an eye on him, allowing him to get to his appearance on time. The last thing he, or the aliens, would want would be to disappoint his fanbase.
Somehow, the alien aspect of this is not the craziest part of the tweet. While he has been known for some utterly astonishing tweets in the past, this one has to rank in his top five. But thankfully, everyone is okay and Canseco was able to get to his appearance, albeit in an unconventional way.
Jose Canseco claims he was in a plane crash and rescued by aliens, allowing him to make his appearance on time. Just a typical Saturday, right?
