Joe Rogan is publicly questioning why the Trump administration released more than 160 declassified UAP files now — and he hinted the timing may be calculated to shift attention away from current political troubles. Read on to discover the full story!

Rogan: 'Why now?'

On the May 7 episode of The Joe Rogan Experience, Rogan told Rep. Tim Burchett he found the release suspicious given public anger over the Iran war and rising gas prices. He suggested the dump could be meant to give Americans "something to distract us," arguing the moment felt convenient.

What's in the files?

The Pentagon announced on May 8 that the public can access a trove of declassified UAP materials. Among the items highlighted are a 1972 Apollo 17 photo showing three dots in a triangular formation that may be a "physical object," plus a video of a star-like object moving oddly through space.
