Famous podcaster Joe Rogan said he doesn’t believe the government’s official explanation for the wave of mysterious UFO drones spotted over New Jersey.
Rogan reposted a video of White House national security communications adviser John Kirby telling reporters that the sightings posed no “threat to national security or public safety,” but rejected Kirby’s effort to allay Americans’ fears.
“This is what kids call sus,” Rogan posted on X.com, and then came up with his own theory.
“I want to believe they’re sleepy incels hiding in a basement fucking with ‘the man’ more than I want them to be aliens,” Rogan joked. ‘#wanttobelieve.’
Long a trusted source for interviews with investigative journalists covering UFOs, military witnesses, and government whistleblowers, Rogan has garnered more than 1.8 million views for his X post on the ongoing drone crisis since the put online Thursday night.
Since at least Nov. 18, New Jersey officials and federal investigators have been besieged by reports of apparently unexplained planes, some as large as cars, making strange, unscheduled nighttime flights over sensitive sites across the state.
The first unmanned UFOs were reported over the US Army’s Picatinny Arsenal, but encounters have spread, with witnesses claiming, with varying levels of credibility, air raids in 12 New Jersey counties and now new reports in Pennsylvania.
Florham Park, New Jersey, Police Chief Joseph J. Orlando told reporters they have received reports of unexplained craft. flying over ‘water reservoirs, electrical transmission lines, railroad stations, police departments, and military installations.’

But reports now suggest that these drones have crossed state lines this week, with Pennsylvania residents are taking to social media to share reports of lights in the sky from the Easton area to the Slate Belt and beyond.
Multiple sightings were also reported in the Poconos. The Monroe County Office of Emergency Management said in a Facebook post that it was aware of reports across the county.
And that same night, emergency officials in Orange County, New York, stated that they were “aware of several reported incidents of drone sightings throughout Orange County tonight,” in a Facebook post.
Residents of Texas and Oklahoma have also reported possible drone sightings, but at this time there is no evidence to suggest they are related to the sightings in the northeastern states.
This week, retired police lieutenant and intelligence analyst Tim McMillan told DailyMail.com that descriptions of UFOs in Jersey ‘sounds exactly like the Russian Orlan-10 drones’: secret craft that fly in groups of three to five.
Lt. McMillan and other experts have noted that the New Jersey sightings revolved around the Picatinny Arsenal, home of the US military’s CCDC Armament Center, responsible for manufacturing and supplying artillery munitions to Ukraine.
Some aspects of the sightings in New Jersey mirror what has developed at U.S. and NATO bases across Europe that are known to supply weapons to Ukraine, according to accounts this year by U.S. Army Gen. Darryl Williams and others.
“Russia has been very aggressive and reckless with its responses to Western support for Ukraine,” Lieutenant McMillan told DailyMail.com. “I don’t see this being discussed in the American media, but it is well documented and openly discussed here in Europe.”
According to a New Jersey local, this image shows approximately nine of the unidentified drones flying into the Garden State from the Atlantic Ocean on the night of Thursday, December 5.
Significantly, the mysterious fixed-wing drones with red, white and green lights resemble ships witnessed at sensitive US military bases over the past few years.
in tOn Tuesday, Congress asked Robert Wheeler, FBI deputy director of the bureau’s Critical Incident Response Group, whether these drones posed a threat to public safety.
“There’s nothing known that would lead me to say that,” Wheeler told Congress, “but we just don’t know.” And that’s the worrying part.
The Biden administration has also rejected claims by Republican lawmakers that the drones are being operated by any of the United States’ foreign adversaries, including claims that the flights originate from an Iranian “mothership” on the high seas.
“There is no indication at this time that this is a foreign adversary or a foreign actor,” White House national security communications adviser John Kirby told NewsNation’s Kellie Meyer. ‘The FBI is investigating this. “The Department of Justice is looking into this.”
“I know that the Department of Defense, when it affects or approaches a military base, is looking at this,” Kirby added. “In some cases, investigation has revealed that these are actually manned aircraft and not drones.”
