A former CIA scientist knocked one of the most influential podcaster’s in the world, Joe Rogan, into a state of awe after claiming to know the amount of secret alien craft in America’s possession.
Dr. Hal Puthoff, a physical and electrical engineer, who worked in the government’s psychic spy and UFO research programs, revealed on a recent Joe Rogan Experience podcast that the U.S. military has recovered more than 10 crashed UFOs since the1940s.
Dr. Puthoff stated that many more of these “non-human craft” have allegedly been recovered in other nations around the world, in isolated deserts and from the oceans, with more possibly hiding out in alien bases underwater or near quiet mountain ranges.
“Not all of the recovered ships were crashed-up wrecks,” the scientist claimed. “Perfectly intact UFOs have apparently been left ‘as donations’ for humans around the globe to find and learn from…Some of them are donations to help us accelerate our forward motion.”
Mr. Rogan seemed to be dumbstruck by the disclosures.
“They donate something here, something in China, something in Russia, and see who is best at moving forward just as part of their ISR (intelligence, surveillance, and reconnaissance) evaluation of us,” Dr. Puthoff claimed.
Despite the growing calls for the government to disclose what they know, the UFO researcher said he worked on a secret project that has convinced US officials to never reveal the existence of aliens to the public.
Dr. Puthoff is renowned for his contributions to laser physics, psychology, and energy research. He said his work made him a household name inside government circles, putting him on a list of experts to call when top-secret projects needed advising, including research into UFOs and recovered alien technology.
He noted the recovery of crashed UFOs goes back decades, with the 1947 Roswell crash in New Mexico still being one of the most famous cases.
“I think it was a true non-human intelligence craft that crashed,” the former government scientist told Joe Rogan on the podcast.
Dr. Puthoff noted that one of his colleagues, Dr. Eric Davis, spoke to the commander of Wright-Patterson Air Force Base in Ohio, where the debris from the Roswell incident was allegedly flown - and they confirmed that the crash really happened.
“They say it was the real deal, that this was a real unidentifiable crash and these materials were really, really from outer space,” Dr. Puthoff exclaimed.
In a recent Congressional hearing, Dr. Eric Davis confirmed what Dr. Puthoff stated to Mr. Rogan.
As for what the government has discovered from what they’ve found inside these craft, Dr. Puthoff revealed that he was still sworn to secrecy.
“Did anything come out of that analysis?” Mr. Rogan asked about the UFO debris from Roswell.
“Not that the public would hear about,” he revealed. “Not that I could disclose.”
The scientist added that the level of secrecy within the US government when it comes to the study of crashed UFO technology has become “really obscene.”
According to Dr. Puthoff, there are people working on these top secret projects that can’t even tell the researcher sitting next to them what they are working on.
He did tell Mr. Rogan that “we have data about crashes in other countries. So it’s really clear that we’re not the only ones on the planet that are collecting data.”
Dr. Puthoff noted that he and his colleagues, including revered UFO expert Jacques Vallee, suspect that these craft could have arrived on Earth up to 3,000 years ago and are now hiding in mountain bases or under the ocean.
“I am very invested in aliens being real,” Mr. Rogan has stated. “I think the dumbest argument that aliens aren’t real is when they go ‘if aliens are real why don’t they just land on the White House lawn?...When you go fishing do you check in with the President of the Lake?”
