Joe Rogan - I Want UFO's to Be Real!

Well, soon we're going to have war in space, Rory. I don't know if you've been paying attention to the news. Some Air Force guy was saying that we have to prepare for the possibility of war in space. That this is an inevitable possibility. Probably with drones. Well, let me ask you this. What was your take on that UFO thing? What is this chain? Space. This was a UK ad for a beer. It's all these astronauts in space. They're in space drinking beer? Wait, there's British astronauts? No idea. I had no idea. Belong beer. Belong beer. Wow. That's cool. British astronauts. Remember that UFO thing that happened like two months ago? Which one? And they released... The government was like, we have no idea what this object is, and you heard the pilot in the air like, what the fuck is that? I don't feel like I've seen that. I remember like they're like, the UFOs... It happened right after Tom DeLong was on here. Oh, right. Did we watch it? Did we watch the video? The government literally confirmed that they don't know what it is, and it's a UFO, and it's doing things in the air. And then everyone just stopped talking about it. Wait a minute. I don't believe these things enough. I barely pay attention. They come my way. This was on like real news sites. Right. But what is the video? Can we see the video again? There it is. Can we see it again? Oh, see, stop. Hold on. This is... Now, remember, this has been debunked. You know who debunked it? What's his face? Mick West. Mick West from Metabunk.com. What they did was they changed the perspective from 1X to 2X. So when you're looking at something zoomed in, things move faster. Your sight picture is much quicker. When you're at normal, your sight picture is slower. So as you zoom in, everything looks faster. So when the thing moved out of frame so fast, it was because it had been zoomed in off. Oh, yeah. Not because it took off at some insane rate of speed. So in other words, the pilot was just fucking with the government? No, they didn't know any better. Whoever released the video didn't look at it. These Metabunk guys looked at the video, and you can see all the numbers on the screen. When you look at the video, you see what is perspective. That's so funny. X1, X2, and he points out, look here, it goes to X2, and then it just moves out of frame. It's not even that it took off. Yeah, because you're snapping in on it. You're looking at it from a totally different perspective. Now you're looking at it from a zoomed-in perspective. That's interesting. Yeah, see if you can find it. Nick West has written an explanation. My dream was that it was going to be aliens, and their goal was they needed plastic. He's got a bunch of photos in it. See if you can find the photos. He points them out. That's what I was hoping. They were going to go, like, our planet needs plastic. Do you have any? We have so much. In the ocean, you can just take it all. And then they just cleaned it all up, and things got better. Like they went to the Pacific garbage patch, and just were like, psh, psh, psh, psh, psh, psh, psh. And then they left. And then they left. And then they left. The Pacific garbage patch keeps me up at night. There's a kid who's got a solution to that. What is this? A young man who figured out a solution. God damn it. I'm supposed to be in contact with that fellow. I'd be curious to know what that solution is. I get two emails. It's some sort of a machine that, like, skims the ocean for plastic, and it collects all the plastic. Yeah. And I don't know what it's powered by. I think, I want to say it's powered. It's a solar-powered thing. That was the concept behind it. Like a rumba? Dutch student's giant ocean cleanup machine is going into production. Wow. inventor says the technology will solve the marine plastic crisis, but some scientists are skeptical, as they should be. There are scientists. Boyan Slott. Boyan Slott. Look at how much it's growing. That's right. I was connected to him through email. How much it's growing by? Let me write it down. Eight million tons a year. That's insane. How do you spell his last name? S-L-A-T. Plastic is growing at eight million tons a year. We never thought about, we thought once we throw it away, oh, it's thrown away. Mm-hmm. They've got it. No. Shit falls off. There's fucking dumps. They leave it sitting there. First fly to the dump. They pick it up. They fly away with it. They don't know what it is. The craziest thing is how, like, the ocean currents all lead to one place, you know? It's weird, right? It's so weird. It's weird that you could see it all swirling together. Yeah, and it's like the size of Texas, I think they said. And they say it breaks down all the particles, all the rather plastic into these weird little particles. Yeah, and that's why they're pulling fish out with stomachs full of plastic. Fish out with it and more birds. Birds are dying and they're feeding it to their kids. And they find babies in the nest that have these plastic caps filled in their stomach. It's really horrible. It's horrible. Have you seen that? To the stars. Party balloon. Oh, yeah. Is that really what they saw? That's what it says. Stop it. It's on his website. Well, it might be that. You're saying they were tracking a party balloon in an F-16? Is that what it's supposed to be saying? Yeah, it was on the other website that said that, exactly what you were describing as I was reading it, like the camera angles were off and you can follow the angle with the clouds moving with the balloon. Yeah. Well, once you zoom in on something, that's what happens. I mean, if you've ever looked through a binocular, if you're trying to hold a binocular, the more powerful the binoculars are, the more like the picture at the end seems shaky. Yeah, same as you zoom in on your phone. If you take a picture, you think it's not an optical zoom, it's a digital zoom. Exactly. Yeah. So that was the explanation for the bizarre behavior of that object. Apparently, it was just so funny to me that it was a party balloon. What's that, Jamie? There's another one, too, that was the day before he posted, which a second video similarly. I don't know if this was the one that everyone was talking about. Dude, nobody wants UFOs to be more real than me. That's why I was asking you about it. Nobody. But I'm also, I don't buy a lot of the thinking that goes behind these things, because people just want to think that it's real. They want to think it's real so bad that they're not looking at it completely objectively. If it is real, we got to know for sure. And there's no way you know for sure this way. This doesn't seem like we know for sure. This seems more like what he's saying is correct. If you see the perspective shift, you see the way the thing moves shift. But this is what we were talking about earlier, about the government and conspiracy. That's a perfect example. The government's like, we have no idea what this is, and we're confirming it was a UFO. And then guys who are into the government are like, yeah, it's a fucking balloon, dude. Jamie, scroll back down. What does it say there? This little animation. It says, the flare around the much closer engines rotate independently of the rotation of the plane. What does that mean? I'm not sure I get this. I think we're halfway in the middle of this page. That's part of the problem. They're explaining something along. Because it's infrared. Drawn out. Yeah. See, there's a lot of these things that have been proven to be horseshit. And people see the video footage and they think, oh my god, it's a UFO. Oh no, it turns out it's an oil thing that's on fire in the distance. Like there's a lot of weird things that you see in these like real blurry infrared scans of shit or whatever that is, night vision scans. I want to see some real shit where you look at it and you go, okay. Yeah. That's a fucking UFO. Like what is that? Is that real? And if someone says that there's no way they could have faked that, then I'm curious. But right now I just think too many people want it to be real. Yeah, but for the Pentagon, the Pentagon sat on that for like 10 years and then released it. And no one in the Pentagon figured it out until it got out into the private sector online. And somebody was like, yeah, it's a balloon. And you zoomed in on it, you fucking idiots. Look, it says 2X. That's my point about government conspiracies. I'm like, yeah, it just seems like incompetence to me. It could be. Like nobody looked at that closer. But that's just the people. They were looking for people we've known for 10 years. No, that's just the people that were responsible for that, that were incompetent. Sure. And do you think that you would give the fucking UFO searching job to anyone you wanted to do real shit? The UFO searching job is a job you give to your friend's cousin. That's fair. You get him a job at the C.I.R. That's fair. Listen, bro, you are going to be involved in a top secret operation. What do you got? Wieckowski, get in here. We got a job for you. We're going to be searching for you. What do you know? What do you know? What do you know? We're going to rely on you. You've been carefully selected. Remember spies like us? The stupid dude to interview people in their farms and shit. High on moonshine and crystal math. No, I saw it. I saw it. It was lit up like a goddamn candle. I saw it.
