Rogan told filmmaker James Fox, whose documentaries often focus on unidentified aerial phenomena (UAP), that he caught that feeling after asking Trump about it.
“When I confronted Mr. Trump, he was very cagey,” Rogan said on Tuesday’s episode of The Joe Rogan Experience. “Very cagey.”
Rogan said the president-elect hinted that he has seen and heard things related to UAPs or aliens but would not reveal what they were.
Last month, during an interview, Trump told Rogan there “may be” life on other planets, despite scientific evidence saying otherwise sos far.
“He basically neither confirmed or denied,” Rogan said. “I think he knows something. I don’t think he’s that interested ... He’s sort of a no-nonsense type of guy.”
Fox, a frequent guest of Rogan’s, has produced several documentaries on UAPs. During his interview with Rogan, he urged President Joe Biden to release information related to mysteroious aerial phenonmena before he leaves office.
He believes there is more evidence of UAPs that officials have not made public.
Two years ago, members of Congress held hearings about the possibility of life on other planets and UAPs after a whistleblower came forward with claims that the government was covering up evidence.
The conversation between Rogan and Fox arises as people across the nation express frustration over unexplained drones that have begun flying over neighborhoods in the evening. Lawmakers and officials have assured the public the drones are non-threatening, but they have not offered an explanation about their origins or intent.
Fox said he’s hopeful that officials will share more about UAPs because of the drone sightings, calling it a “matter of national security.”
“There’s something really weird going on,” Fox said.
Current officials may not know about the drones or, at the very least, do not want to share that information publicly. The incoming administration, however, may take a more hands-on approach to solving the mystery of the drones.
Earlier this month, Trump has said that he believes the government knows more about the drones than it is publicly sharing. Speaker of the House Mike Johnson said if Trump were president now, he would make sure his administration solved the mystery of the drones rather than issue vague statements like the Biden administration.
