When UFC podcaster and commentator Joe Rogan takes a break from the world of the Octagon, he turns to his other passion: discussing conspiracy theories related to the Pentagon and alien life. These topics have often been central to his podcast, The Joe Rogan Experience.

In a recent episode #2194, Rogan spoke with former Pentagon employee and conspiracy theorist Luis Elizondo. During their conversation, Elizondo claimed that the Pentagon has alien devices, which intrigued Rogan. Like any curious listener, Rogan asked Elizondo how he stayed safe while sharing such information. Elizondo then responded with his explanation.

Why does the Pentagon let Luis Elizondo share secrets?

Even as a 57-year-old believer in aliens and extraterrestrial life, Joe Rogan isn’t someone who is easily fooled. This was evident in a recent episode of his podcast, where his guest, Luis Elizondo, made shocking revelations about the Pentagon and their hidden secrets. One thing that really caught Rogan’s attention was how Elizondo has been able to expose the Pentagon without facing consequences. Rogan asked, “What do they tell you? Why are they allowing you to say we are in possession of exotic matters that was not made by human beings, but not allowed to elaborate?”

Elizondo quickly recognized Rogan’s skepticism and explained why the Pentagon hadn’t silenced him. He said, “I don’t think they have a choice. I think with the introduction of cell phones and ring cameras, the cat’s out of the bag. It’s the word-kept secret at this point,” ex Pentagon insider then revealed a second reason that shed light on another side of the government: “There is a fraction, unlike before, in the Cold War, I believe there is a fraction of people inside the government that do want this conversation to occur.”

Luis Elizondo, who served as the Director of the Pentagon’s Advanced Aerospace Threat Identification Program from 2088 to 2017, has raised significant concerns about the Pentagon’s possession of extraterrestrial spacecraft. His resignation and early retirement amid tensions with the government lend credibility to his claims, which were further supported by a former United States Air Force officer who appeared on Joe Rogan’s show last year.

David Grusch gives Rogan the latest on Alien life

Joe Rogan is now in his 60s, but his unwavering determination to expose government and authority regarding extraterrestrial life forms is reminiscent of the famous fictional character Fox Mulder from the 90’s television series The X-Files. Just as Mulder went to great lengths to uncover the truth about aliens, Rogan continues to invite high-profile guests, including retired officials from government organizations. Recently, he invited former US intelligence operative David Grusch, who gained fame as a whistleblower in 2023.
