Former U.S. Air Force Captain Robert Salas made shocking revelations last year, which stirred the nation. Speaking on National Geographic’s UFOs: Investigating the Unknown, Salas shared his unsettling experience from March 24th, 1967, when he and his team felt “under attack” after witnessing eight strange colored lights hovering above their base, with 10 nuclear missiles under their watch. Despite their best efforts, the mysterious objects vanished without a trace, leaving countless questions unanswered.

Soon after the incident, Salas and his team were made to sign a “non-disclosure” agreement. In his personal investigation, Salas uncovered similar UFO sightings at other U.S. missile sites, bringing the total to 30 by 1996, a discovery that raised significant concerns. For years, this topic was largely ignored until it was brought up recently on The Joe Rogan Experience podcast (#2244). Former U.S. Navy officer Ryan Graves, a guest on the show, addressed the claims, offering a debunking perspective on the alleged connection between UFO sightings and missile-related incidents.

“I’ve come in contact with experts,” Graves explained, “specifically working on weapons of mass destruction. If there’s a loose nuke in the US, among other agencies, they’d be some of the people working around the clock to track and secure it.” The former Navy officer further emphasized that these experts assured him there was no threat of a loose missile or weapons of mass destruction, claiming, “Otherwise, they would be working nonstop to resolve the issue.”

Despite Graves’ claims, some UFO sightings, including those around military bases and captured by U.S. Air Force planes, continue to raise questions. One notable UFO sighting occurred above the Kudankulam Nuclear Power Plant in the southern state of Tamil Nadu in India. The sighting was reported by local police officers and senior officials, and UFO specialist Sabir Hussain, director of INSUFOS (Indian Society for UFOs) has backed it.

Earlier this year, Hussain filed a petition in the Indian Supreme Court to take the matter seriously, warning that it could lead to misunderstandings that may escalate tensions with neighboring Pakistan over Kashmir. However, the matter has not been taken seriously. Nonetheless, Robert Salas has not shied away from endorsing the petition.

Joe Rogan’s stance on extraterrestrial life

When Joe Rogan isn’t busy with his commentary and comedy work, he often enjoys researching topics like Pentagon conspiracy theories and extraterrestrial life. The podcaster is never shy about discussing these subjects on his podcast, which has featured guests like Luis Elizondo, Rizwan Virk, and former military officials. Recently, Rogan brought up the topic of aliens in his stand-up comedy, following his return to comedy after a six-year hiatus.

In his Netflix special ‘Burn the Boats,’ Joe Rogan shared his thoughts on alien life forms, saying, “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?'” The podcaster further engaged his audience, asking for their opinion on extraterrestrial life, stating, “When you go fishing, do you check in with the president of the lake? No, you just trick those idiots with fake food and then you pull ‘em out by their lips, take pictures of ‘em, and drop ‘em back off in the water.”

What’s your take on Ryan Graves’ claims? Do you believe his perspective is accurate, or do you side with veteran Robert Salas, who, along with his colleagues, witnessed the chilling incident of a UFO disabling 10 missiles at their base? Share your thoughts below.
