How Corbell’s Bob Lazar film pulled Rogan back into UFOs
- NANarrator
(drumming) Joe Rogan podcast, check it out. The Joe Rogan Experience.
- JRJoe Rogan
Train by day, Joe Rogan podcast by night, all day. (rock music) Jeremy, it's all your fault.
- JCJeremy Corbell
Wh- which part?
- JRJoe Rogan
How I got back into UFOs, it's all your fault.
- JCJeremy Corbell
Oh. Is it?
- JRJoe Rogan
If it wasn't for that awesome documentary on Bob Lazar, you got me, buddy.
- JCJeremy Corbell
(laughs)
- JRJoe Rogan
(laughs)
- JCJeremy Corbell
That one, that, you know, I wanna weaponize your curiosity, Joe. That's it.
- JRJoe Rogan
(laughs) Oh. So what-
- JCJeremy Corbell
Dave, Dave Foley got you back in.
- JRJoe Rogan
No, he didn't. No, no, um, Dave Foley, uh, I was excited to hear that he had become obsessed with UFOs.
- JCJeremy Corbell
Yeah.
- JRJoe Rogan
But he didn't really get me back in. It was the documentary. The documentary was so compelling. It's really good, and folks, if you haven't seen it, it's called, uh, Area 51 and ... Bob Lazar: Area 51 and Flying Saucers. It's, uh, it's on-
- JCJeremy Corbell
Nailed it, yeah.
- JRJoe Rogan
Yeah, it's really good.
- JCJeremy Corbell
Thanks, man. Um, that documentary, for me, was the reason why I started making films. I picked up a camera. I just wanted to know if the guy was telling the truth. Um, I was not a filmmaker. I was highly unqualified, like a lot of things that I do in my life that I end up loving. So that movie, the story is what made me interested too.

Mickey Rourke narration: the tattoo shop meet-cute and last-minute save
- JRJoe Rogan
How'd you get Mickey Rourke?
- JCJeremy Corbell
Well, that's a fucking weird story. Um, there's a tattoo shop called Mark Mahoney's Shamrock Social Club. Do you know about this?
- JRJoe Rogan
Yeah, I've heard of that place before.
- JCJeremy Corbell
Okay, so Mark's been a good friend of mine, or I've been a friend of his since I was probably too young to be getting tattoos. And he let me come in and film for a couple years right before that movie, and he doesn't let, like, let a lot of people in there to film. Um, and Mickey came in one day, and Mark's like, "Oh, you know, Jeremy's filming. Can ... You wanna talk to him about UFOs?" And Mickey's, like, looking at me like, you know, "What the fuck's this guy?" Somehow, he ends up taking this stiletto and trying to, like, stick me in the ribs with it. You know, like, just play-, kinda joking, but you got Mickey Rourke with a stiletto just getting a tattoo, kinda jabbing you with it, you know, that, so that kinda bonded us, kind of. He thought I was-
- JRJoe Rogan
He was trying to stab you? (laughs) That's the point? (laughs)
- JCJeremy Corbell
He was, he was poking, he was poking me. Yeah, he was, he was poking me in the ribs. So, um, that was my introduction to Mickey, but he's got this voice that's like a fucking Tibetan monk, you know, like gravelly.
- JRJoe Rogan
Mm.
- JCJeremy Corbell
And, and I know 'cause I had to take his audio and listen to it, and it's just, it's so bizarre. And I thought, "Who better to do this, like, controversial story than the controversial Mickey fucking Rourke just talking poetry, you know-
- JRJoe Rogan
Mm.
- JCJeremy Corbell
... through the film?" So he was kind of that voice of our curiosity in the film, so that's how I got him. But basically, I just sent an offer, and he never responded. So I went back to the tattoo shop randomly one day to see Mark. In walks Mickey, and I, I made a joke. I was like, "Oh, you just like to poke me with a stiletto, but you don't take my movie offer seriously." And he goes, "What offer?" And I'm like, "I, I, I want, I need a narrator. Like, in the next seven days, I have to deliver the film." And he goes, "I never got the offer." The next fucking day, he came in, uh, 'cause I know Mark was telling him, "Oh, you know, help the kid out," you know? He came in, and he fucking recorded with me. He saved my ass, man. Otherwise, they'd have to hear m- my voice in the movie 'cause I didn't have anybody.
- JRJoe Rogan
Well, your voice would've been fine, but it was cool to have his voice.
- JCJeremy Corbell
Well ... Thank you. I, I love that shit, man. People say his mouth sounds like he has marbles in it.
- JRJoe Rogan
But he's, uh ...
- JCJeremy Corbell
I fucking love it.
- JRJoe Rogan
That guy's lived a weird life, you know? (laughs)
- JCJeremy Corbell
Yeah, but you know, he's ... I think people like that sometimes are misunderstood. Like, I've seen this, like, incredible side of him, in that he's, like, a gentle person, you know?
- JRJoe Rogan
Hm.
- JCJeremy Corbell
You know?
- JRJoe Rogan
Is he fascinated with UFOs?
- JCJeremy Corbell
He told me his UFO experience, and-
- JRJoe Rogan
He had a UFO experience?
- JCJeremy Corbell
He did, he did, and he let me record it with him. And, um, I think like anybody, he's interested in this topic. I think once you see something that you can't explain, it, it gets worse, you know? You get a little more frustrated about it.
- JRJoe Rogan
Mm-hmm.
- JCJeremy Corbell
'Cause, you know, you wanna learn, "What did I just see?" So I think he, like most of us, you know, are, are interested in it.
- 4:00 – 4:22
From celebrities to the current wave: “What’s the latest in UFO information?”
- JRJoe Rogan
Yeah. Um, well, let's just get into it because there's been a lot going on lately. There's, uh ...
- JCJeremy Corbell
Yeah.
- JRJoe Rogan
Uh, obviously there's been a shit ton of sightings, and there's been, uh, a lot of discussion, uh, with high-level people about what these things are, what they are. What, what is, what's the latest and greatest in UFO information?
- 4:22 – 6:48
‘Poking the bear’: releasing military UAP footage and Pentagon confirmations
- JCJeremy Corbell
Right. The, the world, in my opinion, has really changed since we started talking about this. So our history is, you know, you asked me to come in with Bob.
- JRJoe Rogan
Mm-hmm.
- JCJeremy Corbell
We did that. Okay, the idea that there's craft, that maybe our government has some and been reverse engineering them, and then, uh, came in with Fravor, and we talked about his personal military encounter. And then our history goes to then Geo- George Knapp is here, who's like the godfather of the history of this. Bam, after that episode, man, things started really going crazy. And, and, and this is where our Senate and Senate Intelligence Committee and our Congress and our Senate was like, "We want a preliminary report. We now know that there were these UFO programs, AAWSAP and AATIP. We want a report." And remember, that was like pending, that was looming, a report's coming.
- JRJoe Rogan
Yeah.
- JCJeremy Corbell
So George and I made a little plan t- to poke the bear. You know, we're like, "What can we put out that is like good, solid evidence that shows we need to talk about this?" So that's when we took the opportunity to make those drops. Right, and those drops were, uh, nine pieces of visual evidence that were filmed by our military. So if, if people were watching along that time, you'd see that in a series of a month, I think, um, we released images from an FA-18 out the window where they're saying they're seeing these things every day, photographs from an iPhone. I obtained and released video that was confirmed by the Pentagon in a rare move the next day on some of these drops that these are real unidentifieds, that they're being studied, and they were filmed by our military. They could've just denied it forever. So we like poked the bear. We'd drop them. Boom, boom, boom. Let's see ...... let's see what the world-
- JRJoe Rogan
And now are you, you dropping 'em on Twitter? You dropping 'em-
- JCJeremy Corbell
Fucking...
- JRJoe Rogan
... on Instagram? Like, you're doing it everywhere? How are you doing that?
- JCJeremy Corbell
Just social media. Just start-
- JRJoe Rogan
Mm-hmm.
- JCJeremy Corbell
... Instagram, Twitter, like that. I just, it, it democratizes this idea of information flow. I, I don't know everything that I'm putting out. I vetted and verified it, but then to have the Pentagon come in and confirm that ... Now, now they did that 'cause I made sure they had it the day, few days before I dropped it.
- JRJoe Rogan
Hmm.
- JCJeremy Corbell
So it's like there was record that I provided it to them.
- JRJoe Rogan
Got it. So these people, um, know you because of your documentary and because of your, uh, appearances on the podcast. And so these military guys with this information, they reach out to you.
- 6:48 – 9:58
Disinformation, vetting, and why Corbell sits on evidence for years
- JCJeremy Corbell
Yeah. So, so that's ... E- even before my, even before my first documentary, you know, I was talking with Fravor. I got a tip. I had been on this beat. I'd been trying to find out more. So people would start to come to me. And then after those relationships have obviously been public where people bring me stuff, it's happening more and more. And a lot of more dis-info coming my way as well. People try to trick me all the time.
- JRJoe Rogan
Like, what kind of stuff have you gotten?
- JCJeremy Corbell
Just give me fake documents, give me fake photos, hope I run with a fake story. You know?
- JRJoe Rogan
Do you think it's just jerk-offs? Just like ... I don't know why I said that word that way.
- JCJeremy Corbell
Jerk, jerk-offs. (laughs)
- JRJoe Rogan
Jerk-offs. Had a hard time with it. Do you think it's just jerk-offs, or do you think it's, uh, like, do you think it's ... Do, do you ever think the government is giving you misinformation? Or-
- JCJeremy Corbell
I'm the least paranoid person that I know.
- JRJoe Rogan
Are you really?
- JCJeremy Corbell
Yeah. I, I, I am literally ... I always think everything's okay. My fucking dog can be dying and I'm like, "It's okay, baby. Don't worry about it." Like, I'm the least paranoid person. So other people say shit like that to me. To me-
- JRJoe Rogan
Right.
- JCJeremy Corbell
... you just got assholes that wanna confuse the topic. We do it to ourselves, you know?
- JRJoe Rogan
Or people that just want attention.
- JCJeremy Corbell
Or, or-
- JRJoe Rogan
For whatever reason.
- JCJeremy Corbell
Or people ... No, but it can be anonymous.
- JRJoe Rogan
Right.
- JCJeremy Corbell
Some of this fake stuff's anonymous so you get this thing where it's like maybe someone just wants me to make a mis- Everybody would love for me to be wrong on shit-
- JRJoe Rogan
Right.
- JCJeremy Corbell
... and make a misstep, and then they can discount everything else I've ever released.
- JRJoe Rogan
Has ever- anything ever sent you something where you're, like, on the fence about? Where you're like-
- JCJeremy Corbell
Oh, dude-
- JRJoe Rogan
... "I don't know if this is legit or not"?
- JCJeremy Corbell
You know I sit on stuff for years, vetting it and having other people vet it. Yeah, I've got tons of stuff, videos-
- JRJoe Rogan
For years, really?
- JCJeremy Corbell
For years. George goes crazy.
- JRJoe Rogan
(laughs)
- JCJeremy Corbell
As a newsman, as a newsman you want to put it out right now.
- JRJoe Rogan
Right.
- JCJeremy Corbell
He goes, "We can vet it right now real quick." And he's right, but I like to see where the person's coming from. I like to get to know them, you know? So I, I like to see what their motivation is.
- JRJoe Rogan
Hmm.
- 9:58 – 13:32
Shapes, ‘payloads,’ and war-zone rules of engagement (including the ‘jellyfish’)
- JCJeremy Corbell
W- Well, I ... There's good video and, and we should go through the pieces of footage. But the one on the left is what they're seeing every damn day on the East Coast. Um, that one would be considered one that has a payload, or could have a payload. So most are spheres, like, with cubes in them. That, that is the strangeness of it. Most of them are cubes surrounded by a translucent sphere. I've heard of pyramids-
- JRJoe Rogan
Pyramid- so most of them?
- JCJeremy Corbell
Most of them that are on the East Coast right now with increased frequency, and also over war zones. So right now, people go- went so fucking crazy when I said this, and I know we're jumping around.
- JRJoe Rogan
That's okay.
- JCJeremy Corbell
But over active war zones right now, there is such an increased frequency of what they call UAP or UFO, that they have these rules whether or not they fire upon them. And people got so mad at me for saying publicly on the news that we do fire at UAP, UFOs, because we fucking do. But why we do is not what people think. So when you have an active war zone, specifically the area of the world that I'm talking about in the Middle East, anything within 27 to 30 miles of ground troops gets fired upon. That's it. But I was exposed to documents that tell me a little bit more precisely how you choose what to fire upon. And what you fire upon is anything that appears that it could have a payload.
- JRJoe Rogan
Really?
- JCJeremy Corbell
Yeah, 'cause it would be a threat. What do they do with, like, the cubes surrounded by this, these spheres? Fucking nothing, because they don't look like they have a payload so they disregard. They're not part of the mission. So my point in saying that kinda on the news, I don't need to prove to anybody it's true. It is true. I am ... I speak with people that are there right now. It is true. And there's been such an increased frequency since 2021 that it has been pushed up to kind of, like, critical where they're like, "Okay, these things are in our air space. We could have collisions." But more importantly, like, we see other countries firing on these. Russia, Syria. We know it's not their assets-... so the question is, whose are these?
- JRJoe Rogan
So when you say firing at these, so ...
- JCJeremy Corbell
Hellfire missiles.
- JRJoe Rogan
Right. So, you have this thing-
- JCJeremy Corbell
Yeah.
- JRJoe Rogan
And which shape are these ones that have payloads?
- JCJeremy Corbell
Okay. Well, that's, that's what's crazy. So I, I do ... I have images of one that we fired on. And for the last-
- JRJoe Rogan
Can you show us the image?
- JCJeremy Corbell
Um, I'll show you. I'll show you.
- JRJoe Rogan
Okay.
- JCJeremy Corbell
Yeah.
- JRJoe Rogan
Show me right now. (laughs)
- JCJeremy Corbell
I'll show you.
- JRJoe Rogan
(laughs)
- JCJeremy Corbell
I'll show you, but I, I think, I think it's-
- JRJoe Rogan
You can't show it publicly yet?
- JCJeremy Corbell
I don't know, 'cause it comes from-
- JRJoe Rogan
Why not?
- JCJeremy Corbell
... because it comes from a document I probably shouldn't have seen, but, you know, people send things to me in ways that I can look at them, so ...
- JRJoe Rogan
Okay.
- JCJeremy Corbell
Anyway, let's talk about that later. So-
- JRJoe Rogan
Okay. So does-
- JCJeremy Corbell
... it looks like this. Looks like a fucking jellyfish, man.
- JRJoe Rogan
Oh, is it jellyfish?
- 13:32 – 16:29
Historic continuity: Foo Fighters, 1960 reports, and ‘whose are they?’
- JCJeremy Corbell
... use balloons and shit like that. Th- these are, these are objects that, uh, have controlled flight. So, you know, back in the day with the Foo Fighters ... This is not a new phenomenon, right? Back in the, the day with the Foo Fighters-
- JRJoe Rogan
People need to understand that it's not just a band. The Foo Fighters-
- JCJeremy Corbell
Oh. (laughs)
- JRJoe Rogan
Yeah.
- JCJeremy Corbell
Yeah, yeah, yeah. No, man. Uh, so World War II, you know, you had these, both sides of the war, you know, all sides seeing these metallic spheres outpacing their planes and they're like, "Oh, fuck. They're up to something. They got some cool technology." The problem is we found out both sides think it's, you know, the other side's.
- JRJoe Rogan
Right.
- JCJeremy Corbell
This has been happening for so long. I have an article, we can pull this up, I got an article from 1960, talks about a, a cube with a, with a lume ... with a sphere around it. A f- fighter pilot, military fighter pilot, for four days they were getting these. It was in the Alamogordo News paper. So I'm just saying that this is not-
- JRJoe Rogan
That's ... Is that New Mexico?
- JCJeremy Corbell
Yeah. Alamogordo. Yeah. It's ... I think that's, you know, an interesting area. Yeah.
- JRJoe Rogan
And so these Foo Fighters-
- JCJeremy Corbell
Yeah.
- JRJoe Rogan
... the, these, uh, was, were both sides reporting the same-
- JCJeremy Corbell
Yes.
- JRJoe Rogan
... like, sort of formations and the same speed?
- JCJeremy Corbell
W- we thought it was their technology.
- JRJoe Rogan
Right.
- JCJeremy Corbell
They thought it was ours. What's happening right now in the Middle East with the o-
- JRJoe Rogan
Same thing?
- JCJeremy Corbell
Yeah, because we're seeing Russians and Syrians fire on these and we're sometimes firing on them, but whose are they?
- JRJoe Rogan
When you say we're seeing, so is this, like-
- JCJeremy Corbell
We're seeing-
- JRJoe Rogan
... reports from soldiers that you're getting? Like-
- JCJeremy Corbell
Yeah.
- JRJoe Rogan
... where, where are you getting this information from?
- JCJeremy Corbell
Okay. So people that work in these, um ... People that work in collecting this data are a little bit frustrated. And y- you know, that's why ... I wanna become unnecessary. Why do they come to me? Right? And I think they're, th- they're frustrated that they don't, th- they don't have a way to put it up through the chain of command. That they-
- JRJoe Rogan
Hm.
- JCJeremy Corbell
That it gets lost in translation.
- JRJoe Rogan
Or they just r- suppress it.
- JCJeremy Corbell
They don't even spend ... I don't even think it's nefarious. They just don't spend the gas to go look at something that doesn't ... it's not part of the mission.
- JRJoe Rogan
Right.
- 16:29 – 22:56
Big theories: extraterrestrial vs interdimensional, and ‘transmedium’ behavior
- JCJeremy Corbell
So this is the mystery. This is the question. Like, I don't care where UFOs are from, you know? I don't care if it's extraterrestrial, if it's extratemporal. I mean, we can go through so many ideas.
- JRJoe Rogan
What's extratemporal?
- JCJeremy Corbell
So, so here are the, the prime theories. They're extraterrestrial from another-
- JRJoe Rogan
Right.
- JCJeremy Corbell
... you know, world. Extratemporal, from another time, and you could say extratemporal-
- JRJoe Rogan
Oh.
- JCJeremy Corbell
... extradimensional.
- JRJoe Rogan
What do you think?
- JCJeremy Corbell
It's the same thing.
- JRJoe Rogan
If you had to put your money on it.
- JCJeremy Corbell
Oh, fuck. I ain't putting money on this. No fucking way.
- JRJoe Rogan
A couple bucks.
- JCJeremy Corbell
A c- (laughs) Okay, well, that, that changes things.
- JRJoe Rogan
Just for fun. Just for fun. Two bucks. I think I would-
- JCJeremy Corbell
I'm getting mixed message. What are you thinking? What do you think?
- JRJoe Rogan
I would bet interdimensional.
- JCJeremy Corbell
Why?
- JRJoe Rogan
That's what I think. I think there's something about the whole feeling of it that seems so weird. It's almost like alternative timelines. The whole feeling of it feel- feels so weird. It's also ... The problem is, is, is it's all of it is so exciting and so interesting that you get lost in the excitement and it's very difficult to get, uh, an objective mindset. To achieve an objective mindset.
- JCJeremy Corbell
Oh, for sure.
- JRJoe Rogan
Um, it's very hard for me to be objective 'cause I love it so much. But I th- I mean, look, we got a UFO there.
- JCJeremy Corbell
Yeah.
- JRJoe Rogan
We got a fucking alien up here.
- JCJeremy Corbell
I mean, how cool-
- JRJoe Rogan
We got, we got shooting stars in the ceiling.
- JCJeremy Corbell
Yeah.
- JRJoe Rogan
It's like it's so ob- I'm obsessed with it. But I have this bizarre feeling that the more we're, we understand about reality, the more we're gonna realize that these, um, these physicists, these string theorists that create these models of the universe based on multiple dimensions that we can't access. I mean, there's ... I think they think there's 11 dimensions, right?
- JCJeremy Corbell
I don't have any idea.
- JRJoe Rogan
Let's see if there's one-
- JCJeremy Corbell
I can barely believe there's one.
- JRJoe Rogan
... up to 26.There's 11-
- 22:56 – 29:54
Congress, whistleblower protections, and the fight over hidden programs
- JCJeremy Corbell
can come forward, it's gonna be set into law. They've already written it. The language is amazing. People are gonna be able to come forward and talk about how, how they worked on legacy UFO programs, like reverse engineering programs. Like ...
- JRJoe Rogan
So when you say people are going to be able to, means the government is gonna drop the restrictions that people were former employees ...
- JCJeremy Corbell
I feel like I'm doing a horrible job of getting people up to date with what's happening in the UFO, 'cause so much has happened. It's, like, overwhelming, but yes.
- JRJoe Rogan
That's okay.
- JCJeremy Corbell
So what's happened is if we follow the steps, all of a sudden George and I, we release all this content. You know, people go kind of crazy over it. Then, um, they put out this preliminary report and say we had 143 cases and we solved, you know, one of them. And these are, like, military cases where there's, like, extraordinary movements with these craft. Then all of a sudden Congress is like, "Well, shit, you know, we had AAWSAP, we had AATIP. Who's studying this? Let's get a hold of it." And they got real interested, so they started saying, "Hey, you -- we need to start a program." Then, then the Department of Defense came up with some crazy ass acronym names that nobody could ever make out, AMSOG and shit like that. And Congress got even more pissed. I, as the way I, I read it, I mean, I know some of the people involved and their minds have been blown by what they've seen in these classified briefings. It changed their whole way of thought, and they realized that there are programs being hidden, illegal programs being hidden from congressional oversight.... related to UFOs. So their language now, it wasn't c- created in a void. When you read in the National Defense Authorization Act for 2023, UAP, it is UFO whistleblower language. If you've ever signed an NDA relating to one of these illegal programs without oversight dealing with UFOs, not only can you come forward, but they have changed it so that if there's any reprisal on you for coming forward, like let's say you work at Lockheed and you've been tinkering with some fucking UFO, and there's any reprisal on you, you have ways to, uh, like defend yourself. Like, they, they took away the cap of $300,000 of what, you know, has to be awarded to you if, if there's reprisal. Holy shit. All of a sudden ... And I, I know why, 'cause I know some of the people involved in this. They're, they're gonna let people ... They're demanding that if you have this information, you can ignore your NDAs. And I know people-
- JRJoe Rogan
So let, let's, let's get into this.
- JCJeremy Corbell
Yeah.
- JRJoe Rogan
So what is happening here?
- JCJeremy Corbell
Yeah.
- JRJoe Rogan
So is it Congress does not have access to the information because the Pentagon has deals with these military contractors and they don't wanna release the information to Congress? Like why, why is there this dispute of information? Do they not have access to information that they wanna have access to?
- JCJeremy Corbell
For sure.
- JRJoe Rogan
So that's why they're calling upon these people that have NDAs to come forward and that they'll protect them?
- JCJeremy Corbell
I think it's a, a perfect storm. And I'm just gonna ... This is just, you know, I'm not part of Congress and shit. So I, I'm gonna make an assumption from people I've talked with, right? I think what's happening here is the world has kind of become aware that UFOs are not fantasy. That there is a technological aspect, and that they fly with our, within our skies with impunity. And I think that this was stigmatized before, and I think we're talking about it now. And I think having that conversation has really made people say, "Hey, I wanna fucking find out if it's true."
- JRJoe Rogan
Mm-hmm.
- JCJeremy Corbell
And then when you read classified briefings and you see the data, even the, the preliminary shit, I think it changes your world view. So, so what's happening is, let's say, let's say Lockheed, 'cause Senator Harry Reid has said in his interviews with George publicly, "I heard for decades that they had, you know, uh, craft at Lockheed."
- JRJoe Rogan
Yeah.
- JCJeremy Corbell
And he goes, "I asked ..." Senator Harry Reid, "I asked to get in there and to see it." And he goes, "They wouldn't give me the clearance." A- so he just straight said it.
- JRJoe Rogan
Mm.
- JCJeremy Corbell
They wouldn't give him the clearance. So that was ... That kinda thing infuriates people, right? Now, imagine this. Imagine that you get, uh, people take action against you for talking about this stuff, like Lue Elizondo. You know, people, you know ... Luis' a straight guy, straightforward. You know, I've gotten to know him. There were actions taken against him, you know, kinda like what Lazar said happened to him, right? But this is, like, much more, like, public. They're saying he never worked in these programs. Harry Reid had to go defend him in a letter, right? There's other people you don't ... Th- that are not public that also have had, um, their careers tried to be squashed because they're poking around on this stuff too much, right? They have gone internally to say, "This has happened to me. Here's what I discovered. These are the programs." And then what's o- what's occurred is the investigatory branches that are looking into this, they're like, "Holy shit. This is real? And we don't have oversight?" And they've, it's been proven to them.
- JRJoe Rogan
So when you say the data, when they look at the data, like, what's the most compelling data?
- JCJeremy Corbell
Yeah, I always want that question answered too. You mean for me or-
- JRJoe Rogan
Well, for you first and then what do you think about for, like, the people that are questioning this?
- JCJeremy Corbell
It's so hard to live in a world now where you, you qui- y- y- you have to question everybody and everything, because for me, the most compelling evidence is not one video I can show you. It's not two videos I can show you. It's not documents I can show you. It's not the conversations I have with people. The world is creaking under the stress and the weight of the UFO reality. It's just omnipresent now. W- we're no longer just ignoring it. A- and our sensors have gotten better and the frequency has increased. So you've got pilots like Ryan Graves who, who's saying, "We were seeing these things every day."
- JRJoe Rogan
Who is Ryan Graves?
- JCJeremy Corbell
Ryan Graves is an amazing pilot, uh, like Fravor, but his was in 2015, so the gimbal video where it shows-
- JRJoe Rogan
Mm-hmm.
- JCJeremy Corbell
... the saucer-type craft. Those were, that was his squadron. And they'd go out and they'd see these things every day. And he was a flight safety guy, right? So he was, like, looking at this thinking, "This is an issue." If ... They almost hit one once, one of these cubes that, with the translucent sphere. So, so, so this is a, a safety of flight issue for a lot of people, right? I think it's, from a national defense standpoint, it's fucking important, right?
- JRJoe Rogan
Sure.
- JCJeremy Corbell
Okay. So, so we've got these, we've got these hearings now, these public hearings on UFOs, right? This is the first time in 50 years that we've had public hearings. People fought for that. They wanted the public to hear about it. They weren't getting testimony from like Fravor and all of them, although they should. That's the next step. They need to have people with direct experiences come up and let them talk. Let them tell what their realities were. Get rid of these NDAs for them.
- JRJoe Rogan
Yeah.

The Navy ‘swarm’ incidents and the USS Omaha transmedium footage
- JCJeremy Corbell
But in that hearing, the, the closer we get ... Th- George keeps saying this, and I just keep saying he's like a pessimist, but he's right. This is all fun and games until we get close to it, like any of the real stuff, any of the goodies. If, if, if we have craft and we've had it for a long time and we've been working on them, trying to reverse engineer them, if that is true, the closer the public gets to that, the harder the resistance. And we saw that, 'cause these UFO hearings ... Man-They showed one piece of the footage that I released for, like, the whole hearing. They're showing this one piece. It's the most inconsequential piece. It was from the USS Russell, it's the green one, the triangle by angle of observation thing. That's the ones that's easiest to kinda dismiss visually. What they didn't show is I released from the USS Omaha; radar, thermal, deck footage, um, I mean, just ... It's like cumulative evidence. Congress and Senate were asking, "What's up with UFOs?" And they got swamp gassed. Like J. Allen Hynek, like just trying to sh- put it under the rug. They go, "Oh, oh, we're pretty sure these were drones." That was never the argument. It's not if these were drones in 2019 swarming our navy ships. Y- you know, who was inside of one? It, they, they weren't big enough to hold people. It's not that they were drones. It was like some big revelation. Here's the question. Who were operating these units? How come we don't know that? Right off of the coast of California, 10 of our navy ships were simultaneously swarmed by unknowns, unidentifieds. They couldn't figure out the launch. They couldn't figure out the landing point. They don't know who was operating these.
- JRJoe Rogan
And how far offshore were they?
- JCJeremy Corbell
I mean, it was within 100-mile radius 'cause all the ships that were in this area were experiencing, most of them, simultaneously, what they call swarming. But the thing is, is that I know for sure we don't know yet whose these were. How is that possible modern day?
- JRJoe Rogan
Hmm.
- JCJeremy Corbell
I don't know where these are from. I'm not even claiming that.
- JRJoe Rogan
And did these experience, or did they, they exhibit rather any extraordinary capabilities?
- JCJeremy Corbell
Depends who you ask. So, so the answer to that is when I get people ... And I, I actively hunt for direct eyewitnesses for all this. So I've spoken with people who are, you say, operating the SPY-1 radar system, the same one in the Fravor case, this great system, right? I also spoke with people who had visual on these things. Some people ha- say that they show one of what they call the five observables that means, you know, this goes into the UFO category, which is instantaneous movement, right? "Boom, (fingers snapping) straight up into space," was the exact words said to me. I've got people on the other end of the spectrum where they just saw lights. So no, in this case, it's not like Fravors. I don't have, we don't have footage of it, you know?
- JRJoe Rogan
Right. Do they have data in terms of radar data of speed and-
- JCJeremy Corbell
Y- yeah. They, they do. They ... And that's what I tried to kinda tell the public by releasing one slide that, that said that they believed it, that these craft were transmedium 'cause the video I released, the black and white one from the USS Omaha, you can see it kinda phase out or drop into the water. They thought it was transmedium. They thought it went into the water. They sent a submarine, right, to try to look for it or wreckage. So I don't know with this case, man. I never hang my hat on one UFO case. What's interesting to me is the people involved, they feel like they failed at their duties. They didn't know precisely what to do in this situation, be- 'cause right off our coast. The thing is, is this is happening everywhere, man.
- JRJoe Rogan
Do they have a protocol for what to do in those situations?
- JCJeremy Corbell
(sighs)
- JRJoe Rogan
Like if you do encounter a UAP or UFO or whatever you wanna call it, and they think it might be from an alien planet or whatever the fuck they think it's from, do they, do they have a protocol?
- JCJeremy Corbell
Oh, you mean like the pilots that-
- JRJoe Rogan
Yeah, I mean, is there like a military thing? Is there ... If you see a UFO, is there something you're supposed to do?
- JCJeremy Corbell
Now you can and are encouraged to report it, but before it was so stigmatized. And people that are, you know, ground level on this say there's still crazy stigma. But you are now being encouraged to report it, and these reports have to, in a short amount of time, go up the chain of command. So I think we're, we're getting better reporting now, I think because it's a safety of flight issue. But at that time in 2019 when these ships were swarmed ... Yeah, that's-
- JRJoe Rogan
This is the one that-
- JCJeremy Corbell
... the USS Omaha, yeah.
- JRJoe Rogan
... that goes into the water?
- JCJeremy Corbell
Yes, that they believe that it, it ends up going into the water. That's what the documents said and the documents I was exposed to that I read made it, made an argument for that, made a case for that.
- JRJoe Rogan
So it looks like now that it's hovering ... Boy, this is shitty footage.
- JCJeremy Corbell
Well, see, that's-
- JRJoe Rogan
I want my money back, Navy.
- JCJeremy Corbell
I know, I know.
- JRJoe Rogan
Don't spend your goddamn camera money on ...
- JCJeremy Corbell
But, but do understand that this is ... Why I could release it is 'cause this is an unclassified, um, platform that's being filmed. Otherwise-
- JRJoe Rogan
Hmm.
- JCJeremy Corbell
... that would not be cool of me to release.
- JRJoe Rogan
So there it looks like it just went into the water.
- JCJeremy Corbell
Right.
- JRJoe Rogan
Yeah.
- 36:34 – 54:22
Reverse engineering, retrieval origins, and Lazar’s Element 115 propulsion claims
- JRJoe Rogan
So where do you think they got these UFOs from?
- JCJeremy Corbell
Yeah.
- JRJoe Rogan
If we do have something and we've been working on back engineering it, where do you think they got them from?
- JCJeremy Corbell
Yeah. I get different answers, man, uh, from different people. Um, so you say cra- like some are crashes, right? Which is like hard to fathom that something that advanced could crash.
- JRJoe Rogan
Right.
- JCJeremy Corbell
Um, but that's what I'm told. You know, is that some were crashes. That's what, you know, that's how I understand it to be. Now other people think maybe there were some from an archeological dig.
- JRJoe Rogan
That's what Bob said. He-
- JCJeremy Corbell
I was surprised he talked about that.
- JRJoe Rogan
Yeah. He said that there was one that they had spoken about at S4, that they said that they had recovered from an archeological dig and they said it was a long time ago and it's really old.
- JCJeremy Corbell
Yeah. I think people need to not feel like they have to believe one thing to believe the whole thing. I think there's a cumulative weight here, and I think that we're, we are prying open the doors. If you read this language in Congress and Senate about the UFO immunity, our world is about to change if we stick to our guns, if we push to get these answers. We're gonna find out one way or the other. Is this just some-
- JRJoe Rogan
Right. We're, we're moving around a little bit here though. Let's go back to the, uh, these crafts that they're back engineering. Like how are they getting these?
- JCJeremy Corbell
Yeah.
- JRJoe Rogan
And why do you think that they have them?
- JCJeremy Corbell
Okay. Well I'm ... M- my experience tells me that they're getting them from what you call crashes, like downed crashes.
- JRJoe Rogan
Oh, so all of them? So none of them-
- JCJeremy Corbell
Not-
- JRJoe Rogan
... none of them like were a gift?
- JCJeremy Corbell
That's the other kind of, I'd say theory. Is some people-
- JRJoe Rogan
Yeah.
- JCJeremy Corbell
... that are involved in, in processing this information are like, "It can't have crashed, man. It was perfect. It was like they must have left it for us." Some people believe that. But how do we know? I mean, I just-
- JRJoe Rogan
That sounds so hokey.
- JCJeremy Corbell
It, it does.
- JRJoe Rogan
Both things sound hokey. The crash sounds hokey.
- JCJeremy Corbell
The whole fucking thing is extraordinarily bizarre. It doesn't-
- JRJoe Rogan
Yeah.
- JCJeremy Corbell
... mean it's not true though.
- JRJoe Rogan
Right. That's the other thing that Bob said that I thought was really fascinating was that there was some documentation that they were, uh, showing him that claimed that we are the product of accelerated evolution.
- JCJeremy Corbell
He was shown a lot of shit, and he doesn't like talking about it because he doesn't know if it's just total fucking nonsense.
- JRJoe Rogan
Right.
- JCJeremy Corbell
You know, he is sure that they showed him shit just to see if he'd fucking say crazy shit.
- 54:22 – 1:03:02
Global press and ‘human factor’: Voronezh story and why reports get weird
- JRJoe Rogan
This is weird. UFO landing is fact, not fantasy, the Russians insist. So this is 1989. So this is from 1989- Yep. ... in The New York Times.
- JCJeremy Corbell
Wow.
- JRJoe Rogan
So read the beginning of this, it's-
- JCJeremy Corbell
I, I like Jamie, because he goes, "This is weird."
- JRJoe Rogan
"It's not a joke, nor a hoax, nor a sign of mental instability, nor an attempt to drum up local tourism by drawing the curious," the Soviet press agency TASS insisted today in discussions of what it called an extraterrestrial visit to southern Russia. Residents of the city of..." How do you say that? Voronezhe-zez-Vorone- how do you say it?
- JCJeremy Corbell
I don't ... You did good.
- JRJoe Rogan
Voronezh? (laughs)
- JCJeremy Corbell
(laughs) I don't know, man.
- JRJoe Rogan
It's V-O-R-O-N-E-Z-H.
- JCJeremy Corbell
There you go.
- JRJoe Rogan
Good luck with that.
- JCJeremy Corbell
Yeah, yeah. Yeah, right.
- JRJoe Rogan
Insisted today that lanky, three-eyed extraterrestrial creatures had indeed landed in a local park and gone for a stroll, and that a seemingly fantastic report about the event carried Monday by the official press agency TASS was absolutely true. "It was not an optical illusion," uh, said Lieutenant Sergei A. Matveyev of the Voronezh ... however you say that-
- JCJeremy Corbell
Yeah.
- JRJoe Rogan
... uh, District Police Station, who said in a telephone interview that he saw the landing of the UFO on September 27th. Lieutenant Matveyev confessed that he had not actually seen the aliens, but that he saw the spaceship, and that it was certainly a body flying in the sky, moving noiselessly at a very high speed and a very low altitude. He said, "Anything is possible." "To be honest," Lieutenant Matveyev said, he was a little skeptical himself when he first saw the object. "I thought it might be ... I must be really tired, but I rubbed my eyes and it didn't go away, and then I figured in this day and age anything is possible." Isn't that funny? 1989.
- JCJeremy Corbell
Right.
- JRJoe Rogan
In this day and age. Using, using the sensational tone that has lately infected the once staid TASS, the press agency today provided more details of the UFO landing in Voronezh, a city of some 300 miles southeast of Moscow.
- JCJeremy Corbell
Yeah.
- JRJoe Rogan
Huh.
- JCJeremy Corbell
I mean, it, it stands to reason that we know that these ... They are machines, right? We know they can do things that we're un- incapable of creating right now. Like, there's gotta be somebody controlling them. What-
- JRJoe Rogan
Look at this, look at this statement.
- JCJeremy Corbell
What?
- JRJoe Rogan
"The three-eyed creature, about nine feet tall and fashionably dressed- "
- JCJeremy Corbell
Oh, shit.
- JRJoe Rogan
" ... in silvery overalls and bronze boots, with a disc on its chest, disappeared, then landed and came out for a promenade with a companion and a robot. The alien seemed to communicate with each other, producing the mysterious appearance of a shiny triangle, and activated the robot with a touch." Huh. It's so, it's so hard, you know, you, you're dealing with, like, people, "I saw this." Like, who-
- JCJeremy Corbell
Yeah, I deal with a, I deal a lot of the human aspect of this, (laughs) you know?
- JRJoe Rogan
Yeah, yeah.
- JCJeremy Corbell
Like, talking to people about it. You actually said something to me one time that really struck me about this. I was ... I called you ... Or we were talking on the phone and I was frustrated, and I said, "I can't wrap my head around, if this is true, why there's so much content, why there's so many types of crafts." Like, we could go map the moon, you know, with, like, one satellite in, like, two weeks if we decided to do it. And you said to me, "Maybe it's fucking easy to get here." You said that to me, and it made me think, if ... Maybe it is just easy to get here. Whatever these things are, maybe they're not from far away.
- JRJoe Rogan
Well, or maybe it doesn't matter if they're from far away, because their ability to transcend space-
- JCJeremy Corbell
Right.
- 1:03:02 – 1:31:47
Biological effects: brain injuries, intuition-linked neuroanatomy, and Havana Syndrome overlap
- JCJeremy Corbell
... evolving, you know, every... So, you wanna hear something fucking crazy?
- JRJoe Rogan
Yes.
- JCJeremy Corbell
Okay. This morning, I was talking with a guy named Gary Nolan. Do you know... Have you ever heard his name?
- JRJoe Rogan
I have.
- JCJeremy Corbell
Yeah. So, he... You know, Stanford professor. He's, you know, been working for 10 years studying MRIs of the brains of people like pilots, who have had close encounters. And what they found over this 10-year study, there was a CIA study, but he just openly talks about it now. It's all out in the open, which is cool. There was damage. Like I've seen the, the images, some of them. There's damage to the brain when people get close proximity to one of these power sources, like when they get close to-
- JRJoe Rogan
Damage?
- JCJeremy Corbell
Yeah, fucking white matter damage to their brains from having close proximity to a UFO or UAP.
- JRJoe Rogan
Like, when you say close, you... Are you talking like Commander David Fravor close?
- JCJeremy Corbell
Um-
- JRJoe Rogan
Or people on the ground?
- JCJeremy Corbell
The- there were some ground stuff. Uh, yeah, close like there's an encounter where it's... Like, let's just say you could throw a rock at it. How about that?
- JRJoe Rogan
Right.
- JCJeremy Corbell
To just make it-
- JRJoe Rogan
Did Commander Fravor go through these examinations?
- JCJeremy Corbell
You'd have to ask Commander Fravor that. So, basically, this study found conclusively that there is damage that occurred, not intentionally, but it's like radiation-type damage.
- JRJoe Rogan
Can I propose something?
- JCJeremy Corbell
Sure.
- JRJoe Rogan
Maybe these people that have been examined, maybe the damages would cause them to see these things in the first place.
- JCJeremy Corbell
Okay. Let me f- let me... Now, now we're gonna get real fucking weird, 'cause check out what they discovered. They discovered, in doing these studies on damaged brains, that there is a part of the brain that in a lot of these UFO encounter people, their neuro density in that area of brain is like one in a hundred. And they've found out through this study that that part of the brain, that it deals with intuition, impulse decision-making. So your intuition, you know, like hunters, right? They need like really good intuition to have... So the, the impulse, just knowing when to do something. They've studied it in, uh, like, I guess he said like a Japanese form of chess. I don't know the game.
- JRJoe Rogan
Go?
- JCJeremy Corbell
I don't know.
- JRJoe Rogan
Oh no, that's Chinese.
- JCJeremy Corbell
I don't know. May- maybe it was a Chinese-
- JRJoe Rogan
Okay.
- JCJeremy Corbell
B- some... They studied it that there's neuro density in this area when people make these intuitive moves in a form of chess.
- JRJoe Rogan
Okay.
- JCJeremy Corbell
They found out that these people are way more likely to have a UFO encounter. So it's the opposite of what you said. The damage was caused by the close proximity to the propulsion system. But what they found out is that these neural density area, I forget the name of the brain, the part... They call it the brain within the brain, you could probably look it up. It's just... Now, even weirder than that, and I think Gary should tell you this, but even weirder than that, they found that couples are partnering who have these neuro dense areas, like more than would be random.
- JRJoe Rogan
So they're attracted to each other?
- JCJeremy Corbell
Yeah, man.
- JRJoe Rogan
Well, that makes sense though, if they're just intelligent people.
