Timeline

  • 00:00:00 - 00:09:25

    The guest describes regaining consciousness slowly, with a sense of near-death pain and confusion. He recalls feeling panic upon seeing creatures he associated with aliens from Hollywood's portrayal, which caused him to react defensively. He was lying on a raised table under a dim light and lashed out at the creatures he saw, striking one easily. He perceived them as emotionless and speculated that their advanced communication eliminated the need for expressions. Over time, he reflected that his initial fear was unfounded, and theorized about the technological capabilities of such beings compared to human technological evolution. Despite experiencing significant trauma, he does not believe in malevolent intentions from the beings, suggesting otherwise they could act openly with superior technology. The conversation includes commentary by Joe Rogan on humanity's evolutionary trajectory and technological advancements.

    the jurogan experience so
  • 00:00:03
    uh what do you remember from that moment
  • 00:00:06
    on
  • 00:00:07
    uh when i when i regained consciousness
  • 00:00:11
    it wasn't real quick it wasn't real
  • 00:00:14
    walking right up um it was real slow
  • 00:00:18
    it was dim uh
  • 00:00:21
    my consciousness was kind of like in and
  • 00:00:24
    out for a while
  • 00:00:25
    i didn't know where i was the pain and
  • 00:00:30
    the feeling that
  • 00:00:31
    that i was mortally wounded something um
  • 00:00:34
    something was so wrong inside i i felt
  • 00:00:37
    like i was dying
  • 00:00:38
    and this is what really fueled the panic
  • 00:00:43
    when i finally laid eyes on these
  • 00:00:45
    creatures
  • 00:00:47
    uh of course you know all of the
  • 00:00:52
    mental programming that we get from
  • 00:00:54
    hollywood that
  • 00:00:56
    aliens are invading monsters you know
  • 00:00:59
    didn't help but i instantly associated
  • 00:01:03
    this feeling of
  • 00:01:04
    of dying with pain with them
  • 00:01:08
    so i was combative immediately
  • 00:01:13
    where were you i was lying on my back
  • 00:01:16
    on a raised table there was a light
  • 00:01:19
    above me
  • 00:01:24
    it was not real bright it was um
  • 00:01:27
    not so bright that i couldn't um
  • 00:01:31
    you know see the outline of the of the
  • 00:01:33
    fixture but uh
  • 00:01:35
    would the fixture look like kind of like
  • 00:01:38
    that only much larger
  • 00:01:41
    just a soft uh glow
  • 00:01:45
    and uh in the movie there's a
  • 00:01:48
    little bit of striking on the part of
  • 00:01:51
    the aliens
  • 00:01:53
    against me uh that didn't happen
  • 00:01:56
    i lashed out at them the one
  • 00:01:59
    closest to me i i felt really weak i
  • 00:02:02
    didn't have enough strength to
  • 00:02:04
    to do much so when i my arm
  • 00:02:07
    contacted him he just fell back very
  • 00:02:11
    unexpectedly easy into the other one
  • 00:02:15
    and i rolled off the table in the other
  • 00:02:17
    direction
  • 00:02:20
    and uh they came around the table and
  • 00:02:24
    the three of them were coming towards me
  • 00:02:27
    and i just grabbed something from behind
  • 00:02:30
    me
  • 00:02:31
    an object off of the uh shelf there
  • 00:02:35
    and started swinging it at them what was
  • 00:02:37
    the object
  • 00:02:38
    it was just some large uh long
  • 00:02:41
    cylinder or rod uh
  • 00:02:45
    glass some clear material i wasn't
  • 00:02:48
    studying it i was looking at them and
  • 00:02:51
    swinging wildly screaming threats
  • 00:02:55
    they stopped
  • 00:02:58
    and i was planning on
  • 00:03:02
    attacking more fully just making way
  • 00:03:04
    past them the only doorway i could see
  • 00:03:06
    was on the other side of them
  • 00:03:07
    and it looked like a doorway yeah it
  • 00:03:09
    looked like a doorway just uh
  • 00:03:11
    you know what did they look like
  • 00:03:14
    um i guess it's a pretty typical
  • 00:03:17
    description nowadays
  • 00:03:19
    very large eyes hairless
  • 00:03:29
    two eyes nose mouth
  • 00:03:32
    i didn't see them speak
  • 00:03:35
    or no change in the expressions
  • 00:03:40
    and uh to me that
  • 00:03:43
    and in the face of all the screaming and
  • 00:03:46
    the
  • 00:03:47
    fear that i was uh
  • 00:03:50
    projecting uh their lack of reaction
  • 00:03:53
    probably just
  • 00:03:54
    added to my panic but uh did they feel
  • 00:03:56
    like they were
  • 00:03:57
    a living creature or did they feel like
  • 00:03:59
    they were a robot
  • 00:04:00
    like well they were without expression
  • 00:04:03
    i'll say that but
  • 00:04:04
    you know i've had 45 years to think
  • 00:04:06
    about that in more recent years i think
  • 00:04:09
    well maybe
  • 00:04:11
    if they're telepathic and it's
  • 00:04:15
    developed enough to where they don't
  • 00:04:17
    need to talk
  • 00:04:20
    they also don't need facial expression
  • 00:04:22
    right
  • 00:04:23
    and so their ability to communicate with
  • 00:04:25
    each other would be much
  • 00:04:27
    richer and more complete than we have
  • 00:04:29
    and
  • 00:04:30
    speech and frowns or smiles or whatever
  • 00:04:33
    would become
  • 00:04:34
    obsolete pretty quick yeah well that is
  • 00:04:37
    a
  • 00:04:38
    theory about where human beings are
  • 00:04:39
    headed
  • 00:04:41
    if we continue to evolve that we will
  • 00:04:43
    one day reach this
  • 00:04:45
    point where the biological limitations
  • 00:04:47
    of our
  • 00:04:48
    monkey bodies will slowly start to fade
  • 00:04:51
    away we'll have
  • 00:04:52
    different abilities different abilities
  • 00:04:55
    well why would we need to
  • 00:04:56
    uh frown or smile if if you can save
  • 00:05:00
    much more and also their their
  • 00:05:03
    musculature did their
  • 00:05:04
    musculature did they look like smooth
  • 00:05:07
    like they had no
  • 00:05:08
    no clear muscles yeah they were pretty
  • 00:05:11
    smooth very light
  • 00:05:12
    when i when i hit the one it fell back
  • 00:05:14
    into the other one pretty easily
  • 00:05:16
    like he weighed hardly anything like a
  • 00:05:18
    little kid yeah
  • 00:05:22
    that was most terrifying experience of
  • 00:05:24
    my life but
  • 00:05:26
    when i when i tell the story and try to
  • 00:05:29
    relate to people i'm trying to
  • 00:05:30
    communicate
  • 00:05:32
    what i experienced and how utterly
  • 00:05:34
    utterly traumatic that was and how it
  • 00:05:36
    was so devastating i was
  • 00:05:38
    you know on the verge of catatonic for
  • 00:05:41
    weeks after it happened but
  • 00:05:43
    uh i don't i don't want to
  • 00:05:46
    relate this story in order to uh
  • 00:05:51
    inspire fear because i've had enough
  • 00:05:54
    time to think about it
  • 00:05:56
    that i think that it was unwarranted
  • 00:05:58
    that my reaction was
  • 00:06:00
    uh just due to my ignorance of the
  • 00:06:04
    situation
  • 00:06:07
    the fact that i was returned at all is
  • 00:06:09
    pretty significant you know
  • 00:06:10
    yeah uh the idea that
  • 00:06:14
    these beings are just uh kidnapping
  • 00:06:16
    people willy-nilly and
  • 00:06:18
    doing terrible things to them i i don't
  • 00:06:21
    subscribe to that theory
  • 00:06:22
    now i try to separate what i actually
  • 00:06:25
    experienced from things that i've
  • 00:06:27
    concluded
  • 00:06:28
    just from thinking about it but it seems
  • 00:06:30
    to me
  • 00:06:32
    that uh i mean they've been seen
  • 00:06:35
    uh observed there have been sightings
  • 00:06:39
    for all you know before i was born had
  • 00:06:43
    you heard of the betty and barney hill
  • 00:06:44
    story before you were abducted
  • 00:06:46
    no i probably had but
  • 00:06:50
    if i i thought if they had some sort of
  • 00:06:54
    sinister intentions it'd be a done deal
  • 00:06:57
    they wouldn't be
  • 00:06:58
    sneaking around hiding and uh
  • 00:07:02
    yeah i believe with that level of
  • 00:07:04
    technology
  • 00:07:05
    look at it this way human beings just
  • 00:07:08
    virtually
  • 00:07:08
    everything technological that we have is
  • 00:07:11
    just a few hundred years old
  • 00:07:13
    before that the most technological thing
  • 00:07:15
    we had was fire
  • 00:07:17
    and in just uh the last
  • 00:07:21
    um 50 years the
  • 00:07:24
    progress of our science has grown
  • 00:07:27
    to far overshadow everything we had
  • 00:07:30
    accomplished in thousands of years
  • 00:07:31
    before that
  • 00:07:33
    so i'm thinking um
  • 00:07:36
    what astronomers tell us about these
  • 00:07:38
    other star systems
  • 00:07:40
    is that they could be hundreds of
  • 00:07:42
    thousands millions or maybe
  • 00:07:44
    billions of years older than us so if we
  • 00:07:46
    accomplished
  • 00:07:48
    the kind of technology that we have in a
  • 00:07:51
    few decades
  • 00:07:53
    what is possible with millions of years
  • 00:07:56
    of development i mean
  • 00:07:58
    we couldn't begin to recognize what
  • 00:08:00
    they're capable of right
  • 00:08:02
    so i think it's presumptuous for people
  • 00:08:04
    to say oh they could never do that
  • 00:08:06
    it really is an interesting conundrum
  • 00:08:08
    because
  • 00:08:09
    we know what we can do and we know where
  • 00:08:11
    we came from we have a very clear
  • 00:08:13
    history of technology
  • 00:08:15
    when it comes to humans and we also know
  • 00:08:17
    that there are planets
  • 00:08:19
    surrounding stars all throughout our
  • 00:08:21
    galaxy and all throughout the universe
  • 00:08:23
    but we're still skeptical it's so funny
  • 00:08:25
    and so first
  • 00:08:26
    it is but for a guy like you who's
  • 00:08:29
    actually encountered it
  • 00:08:31
    even though you saw it it had to
  • 00:08:35
    not seem real oh yeah you're questioning
  • 00:08:38
    your sanity for sure i mean it was like
  • 00:08:41
    i was practically catatonic for days
