The Joe Rogan Experience.

Train by day, Joe Rogan podcast by night, all day. (rock music) Hello, James.

Hello.

Good to see you, my man.

Thank you so much for having me on.

Oh, my pleasure. The moment I saw that documentary, I was like, "W-," uh, let me just be honest, off, off the bat. I loved your first documentary, but when someone says there's a documentary about a crashed UFO and it happened in Brazil, I'm always like, "Man, people tell stories." You know? I'm like, "Maybe it was one of those."

Yeah.

Like, I didn't think too much of it. When I hear stories, even Roswell, I always go, "Meh, I don't know. I don't know." It's so hard to know. 1947, you know, I think some shenanigans were going on, but what, what was it really, and how much of this is just people tell stories? And those stories grow and change over the years, and, and, you know, almost like the story becomes their real memory after a while, 'cause they've been doing it for, you know, so many, so many years. But then this one. This one, just right away, the way you captured all the, the information and the evidence and th- the eyewitness accounts, the photographs that people got, the, the depictions of the actual being, the fact that there was live beings, this is a re- it- and everyone that didn't even know each other having these, like, really similar stories about what they saw and when people got ahold of the wreckage. Like, when you first started making this documentary, did you have any apprehension, like, "Oh, this one may not ... How, how do I sell a documentary on a crashed UFO?" Like, "What's the best way to put this together?" 'Cause that's part of the art of what you do, right?

You were skeptical. Let me tell you how skeptical I was.

(laughs)

Okay? So I was making my second documentary on UFOs in the late '90s. I just finished a documentary called UFOs: 50 Years of Denial. I started on my second film. It was 1999. And I partner up with a couple of guys. Boris Zubov has been a partner. I'm still working with him today. And this guy Tim Coleman, who's a British reporter. And, uh, we ... Like, mapping out the film concept, like, "Hey, we should cover this case, and we should do that." And he's like, "Hey, mate, we gotta do this amazing UFO crash in Brazil where these aliens were walking around the town." And I looked at the guy, and I thought, "I think I picked the wrong partner. This guy's fucking batshit crazy." And literally, I dismissed it on the spot, and I refused to even read one word about it. I said, "There's no way in hell that that happened and the whole world doesn't know about it."
