Joe Rogan Podcast, check it out!
The Joe Rogan Experience.
Train by day, Joe Rogan Podcast by night, all day.
joe rogan
It's a very good time to have a UFO expert in.
james fox
A lot has been going on.
joe rogan
This is...
You know, I had...
I know you ran into him.
I had Ryan Graves on yesterday.
james fox
Oh, my God.
I'll tell you the funny story about how I ran into him.
joe rogan
You ran into him in the lobby of the hotel, right?
james fox
So the lobby told me, they're all, don't use this one elevator.
It's really rickety.
And it makes a lot of noise.
And it's just...
It's not very reliable.
And just don't use it.
So I didn't.
And then I was leaving...
24 hours later, I come down and get some coffee.
And I was like, ah, fuck it.
Let me take the rickety elevator.
I was like, they told me not to take it, but I'm going to take it anyway.
So I push the button.
I'm standing there.
I hear this...
The door's open.
joe rogan
I look.
james fox
I see this shadowy figure in the corner.
I'm like, Ryan Graves?
What are you doing?
He goes, I don't know.
What are you doing?
I was like, are you doing what I think you're doing?
He goes, yeah.
unidentified
Did he tell you that?
james fox
Did he tell you that?
joe rogan
Yes, he did.
He told me he ran into you.
He didn't tell me the whole story about the rickety element.
james fox
Yeah, yeah.
And he was like this shadowy figure up against the corner, kind of just looking at him.
unidentified
He's looking at me.
james fox
It was really funny.
joe rogan
We talked a lot of nonsense about aliens, but we also talked about the technology that he knows is state-of-the-art when it comes to drones.
james fox
Yes.
joe rogan
And that some of these ones in New Jersey, they're doing things that you can't really do yet.
james fox
Yes.
joe rogan
Yeah, which is really fascinating.
Because it's like, okay.
james fox
And they're the size of SUVs.
joe rogan
Right.
So is it ours?
And we somehow or another have some stuff that the mainstream drone manufacturers at the highest level aren't aware of yet?
Is it ours?
Is it like some crazy military stuff?
Because if it's not, and it's coming from the ocean, like, what do you mean it's coming?
james fox
What the fuck do you- 50 of them.
joe rogan
What do you mean?
What do you mean 50 suburban-sized UFOs are coming out of the ocean?
james fox
This is really funny.
I've been working with this guy.
We've been communicating on the signal for a long time.
Actually, he was through Proton.
He was emailing me stuff about Virginia, the UFO crash in Virginia.
But he was anonymous.
One day, I was like, he's really knowledgeable.
And he was sending me stuff that was really helpful.
Like, you should track down this flight, because if it happened, it was going out of this airport, go to this base.
And I was like, finally one day, I was like, who are you?
And how do you know what you know?
He goes, I'm a retired United States Air Force colonel.
I was like, oh.
And he goes, and I'm also an experiencer.
I had an experience back in 1980, blah, blah, blah.
joe rogan
Oh, what happened to him?
james fox
He had a UFO encounter.
It's in the movie towards the end.
But anyway, he texted me yesterday.
And he goes...
James, I really want you to explain to me how the hell you orchestrated a UAP invasion right around the time your film's coming out.
I was like, I'd really like to know how you did that.
I was like...
joe rogan
Bro, do you know what kind of a budget you would have to have to have drones running in the sky all over...
How many different cities are reporting it now?
Like, what's the numbers?
james fox
It's exploding all over the place, and it's getting better.
I've heard California.
I've heard Europe now, bases in England, New York, New Jersey.
joe rogan
I've heard San Diego.
Wasn't there something in Ohio, right?
Wright-Patterson Air Force Base, they had to shut that place down.
james fox
Yeah.
joe rogan
That's Ohio.
So I've heard New Jersey.
I think Florida, right?
That was the one that Ryan Graves showed us a photo of.
That was from Florida.
So, like, who fucking...
What's going on?
Who fucking knows?
james fox
I was super busy, you know, had the release of the film going on, and so I was, like, trying to focus on that and getting everything lined up, and it was a huge push.
And all these text messages from all around the world are pouring in, like, what the hell is going on with these drones?
And I was like, ah, it's probably something conventional.
I'm not going to worry about it right now.
I'm just going to keep on focusing what I got at hand here.
And then I started getting more information coming in, more information.
Then a buddy of mine called me, and he actually went to Brazil with me a couple years ago, and he's like, bro, I live here.
I'm seeing these things in the sky.
I've seen them seven times now.
They're the size of an SUV. I was like, well, what do they look like?
What do they behave like?
He's like, well, they're making noise.
I was like, oh, okay, well, that quickly kind of eliminates, you know, something non-conventional in terms of propulsion.
But then I got reports of objects that didn't make any noise, and that would go silent.
joe rogan
Did you say what kind of noise it was making?
james fox
Like a propeller's drones would make, but loud, and they're big, and they have a loiter time of hours.
The average drone, like I fly drones for my films, is like, you're lucky to get 25 minutes.
These things are there for hours.
joe rogan
Yeah, five hours at a time.
james fox
They go dark when they're approached by other objects.
They're not getting picked up on FLIR at times.
And then some of them have no noise.
I've heard crescent-shaped.
And then I heard about the ones that really got me because I contacted Christopher Mellon.
I was like, Chris, what is going on, buddy?
I really rely on him for good information.
And he's like, I really don't know, man.
It's a real shit show.
And the U.S. government seems to be clueless right now.
He goes, some of them are conventional.
Some of them are misidentified conventional crap.
But there are other ones coming in off the ocean that are up to 50. The Coast Guard and Police Department are reporting.
That truly remained a mystery.
And then you had Schumer...
At a press conference, just like it was yesterday.
And then he's going, and he's like, we don't know what they are.
We don't know what they are.
And the guy goes, yeah, so it's a UAP. He goes, well, they're drones.
He goes, well, you wrote the legislation.
It's a UAP. It's unidentified anomalous phenomenon.
Why don't you just use UAP? I think they're using the word drone because UAP is almost too scary, like invasions happening.
joe rogan
That's what...
UAP is unidentified anomalous phenomenon?
Couldn't that be kind of anything?
Doesn't even mean flying.
james fox
Well, that's the thing, because it used to be unidentified aerial...
Well, it was UFO, unidentified flying object.
Then it was UAP, unidentified aerial phenomenon.
But then they're coming out of the water.
joe rogan
Yeah, I feel like this is nonsense.
james fox
So they said anomalous.
Why don't they just keep using UFO? Because people associate UFO with otherworldly, and they wanted to remove that baggage and make it a little less scary.
That's my personal opinion.
joe rogan
I kind of get that, but also it's just an unidentified flying object.
If we find out what it is, then it becomes an identified flying object.
It doesn't necessarily mean it's alien.
True, but think of the stealth bomber.
james fox
People would probably be jumping out of their windows right now if they said UFOs are invading the East Coast.
You remember World of Worlds?
joe rogan
Right, that's true.
james fox
People were like jumping out of their windows.
joe rogan
That's a good point.
That's actually a very good point.
james fox
So I think they toned it down.
I think they're using the word drone even though they're unidentified just because of the fear factor.
I think the fear factor is real.
joe rogan
Yeah.
I can't help but cringe when I hear that word.
james fox
Oh, sorry.
The fear element.
joe rogan
It's so funny.
unidentified
Sorry.
joe rogan
It was too much of a part of my life.
Too close to home.
So, when did they start?
Like, when was it acknowledged that this was an issue that was reoccurring recently?
Like, you know, obviously there's always been something in the sky.
People have always seen things.
Who knows what they are, whether or not they're, you know, a lot of people see Starlink and they think it's UFOs, right?
james fox
Yeah, yeah, of course.
joe rogan
But when did this drone thing that we're currently experiencing basically every day, when did it start?
james fox
A couple weeks ago.
Just a few weeks ago.
Maybe a month ago.
That's when I started really hearing about it.
joe rogan
Jamie, is there any sort of official answer to that?
james fox
I have something that...
jamie vernon
20th, 19th, something like that.
Mid-November.
joe rogan
Mid-November.
Welcome to my show!
No middleman, no crazy markups.
It's like Amazon, but for everyday essentials and way faster.
GoPuff also just launched cheapest on the planet pricing.
Think $2 organic eggs, $2 milk, $5 diapers, $10 Tide Pods.
It's insane.
They're beating big grocery stores at their own game.
So, do yourself a favor, download the GoPuff app on your phone, use the code ROGAN20 for $20 off your order, and experience faster, cheaper, better shopping.
Trust me, you'll thank me later.
james fox
I have something that, this is about an airbase in Vandenberg Air Force Base in 2003, and this is not an anonymous.
But this is about incursions over...
Listen to this.
I promised this individual that I met at Seoul Conference.
He's a witness.
He's a military guy.
My name is Jeffrey Nusatelli.
I served 16 years in the United States Air Force as a technical sergeant and a military police officer.
In October 2003, my coworkers and I witnessed a series of extraordinary UAP incursions at Vandenberg Air Force Base in California.
The initial event is known as the Vandenberg Red Square, and it was first mentioned during the historic UAP hearing held in 2023. The case involved Boeing contractors who witnessed a huge red square-shaped object roughly the size of a football field hovering over a missile defense system.
The object was silent and had no visible means of propulsion.
The contractors watched in amazement as the massive object slowly drifted east and vanished over the hills.
I retained official Air Force records of the event, including the blotter form entry, which includes the names and contact information of all the witnesses and provided it to select members of Congress, ARO, and the FBI. ARO is a new UAP Task Force All Domain Anomalous Resolution Office.
After the initial event, several other UAP incursions took place at Vandenberg.
I was on duty during many of the encounters and I investigated the incidents as they unfolded.
Now, remember, this is not anonymous reporting here.
They include a football field-sized craft that terrified security guards as it silently hovered over a launch facility before flying off at an unbelievable rate of speed.
A brightly illuminated silent object that landed on the base flight line before accelerating instantaneously and disappearing into space.
A huge triangle-shaped craft larger than a C-130 that hovered 50 feet over a police officer before it drifted slowly over the base.
A blue-white liquid orb, roughly the size of his house, that hovered over his house on the base.
The objects made no sound and had zero obvious means of propulsion.
And he says, my experiences with UAP were awe-inspiring, exciting, and terrifying.
I don't know why UAP are flying over our bases and our neighborhoods, but I do know the UAP phenomenon is of the utmost importance to all of humanity.
I currently have five other military witnesses to the Vandenberg incursions that are all willing to testify tomorrow under oath that these statements are true.
We need answers to this mystery and better government transparency.
Thank you for the opportunity to share my story, former United States Air Force Technical Sergeant and Witness, Jeff Nusatelli.
Crazy, right?
I mean, we're talking objects the size of a football field?
joe rogan
That's bananas.
And then they take off insanely fast, just like the Tic Tac.
james fox
Straight up into space.
joe rogan
So, what was the exact date of this?
james fox
This was 2003. There was a number of incursions during that year, all the way into 2005. And he has the names, and they submitted it to the new head of Arrow.
joe rogan
That's interesting because that coincides with the Tic Tac.
james fox
It does coincide with the Tic Tac.
joe rogan
I wonder if it's like, you know, vacation season.
You know?
It's like every few years.
james fox
Let's go check out what those guys we're up to.
joe rogan
You know what I mean?
Maybe it's like a real pain in the ass to get here.
Maybe it's one of those things like, you can go to Australia, but dude, it's a pain in the ass.
It's 16 fucking hours on a plane.
It's a long flight.
unidentified
Oh my gosh.
james fox
I went to South Africa one time and that was like 22 hours.
I was like, the plane's going to run out of gas.
joe rogan
That's exactly what I'm saying.
It's like one of those things.
It's like you can do it, but it's a pain in the ass.
So maybe they only travel to Earth every now and again.
james fox
How could these incursions have been taking place and, like, here we are 20 years later and we're only now really starting to talk about them?
joe rogan
I think the reason being is if you don't understand it and you can't protect people from it because it's so beyond our capabilities that if just describing it accurately Removes all confidence that our government has everything under control.
That's one reason why.
And also, if you have no answers, you don't know what the hell it is.
james fox
That's a very good point, yes.
joe rogan
If you don't know what the hell it is, what are you even going to say?
Hey, there's something that came.
We don't know what the fuck it is.
It's as big as a football field.
Shot off into the sky.
We have no idea.
They'd be like, what do you mean?
We have no idea.
Hire somebody who understands this, and then they'd be like, fire him!
Get him out of office!
james fox
I remember, like 20 years ago, bright-eyed, bushy-tailed, totally naive, still bright, I mean, still naive, but I was meeting with a general.
And I said, God, it'll be so amazing.
You know, this story is like so unifying and we had this kumbaya moment and we discovered that, you know, we're not alone in the universe and wouldn't that be amazing and blah, blah, blah, the implications for all of humanity.
And he sat there almost chuckling at me.
And he goes, looked at me and he goes, you got it all wrong, man.
You know, you got to see this through our lens.
And I was like, through your lens?
He goes, yeah, the military's perspective.
I was like, okay, tell me.
And I never thought about this before.
You just mentioned it.
He goes, okay, imagine this scenario.
We sit there and we say, you know, my fellow Americans, it has been brought to our attention that there are craft of unknown origin whizzing around with impunity in our airspace.
They exhibit a technology that's light years advanced from anything that we have.
We don't know who they are, where they come from, what they want.
Shall they turn to be hostile?
We have no visible means of defense against them.
Thank you and good night.
joe rogan
You're fired!
You're fired!
Someone like Trump will come along, I'll make a deal with the aliens!
james fox
You see that predicament?
People always go, why the secrecy?
unidentified
Duh!
joe rogan
Yeah, you have to have secrecy because you've got to imagine the job of a politician in general.
You have to pretend that you're going to be able to handle situations that you well know you're not going to be able to handle.
If you're running for president, you know that you're not going to fix this economy.
unidentified
Stop.
james fox
Just stop.
I'm going to wave the magic wand and it's all going to be taken care of.
joe rogan
You know you're not going to implement electric cars.
unidentified
Stop.
Stop.
joe rogan
Shut the fuck up.
There's not enough batteries.
So if you're lying about all that, you're probably going to lie about whether or not you can handle the alien threat.
I will unite us.
I will unite us as a planet so we can deal together with the aliens.
unidentified
Yeah!
Yeah.
joe rogan
All you have to do is just say some bullshit like that.
james fox
And then someone probably bends his ear when he gets into office and be like, yeah.
joe rogan
A good speaker, like a J.D. Vance, like a guy like that.
Very bright, young, energetic speaker.
He can convince people he can talk to the aliens.
unidentified
He can convince people that he can unite us all.
james fox
Have you seen the program?
joe rogan
No, I have not.
Explain it to everybody.
james fox
Okay, so the program, basically, it's funny because the last time I was on the show, We were talking about an alleged crash retrieval case that took place in Virginia, Brazil in 1996. And your documentary on it, which is...
Yeah, Moment of Contact.
joe rogan
Amazing.
Amazing documentary.
james fox
So we're talking about that, and I came off the heels of doing The Phenomenon, which touched a little bit on a potential crash retrieval program, but then it was like...
Then it was the crash retrieval over in Virginia, Brazil.
And then I got hyper-focused on that.
And then I had sort of...
It was a personal journey for me was, okay...
The elected officials, what do they know?
And when do they know it?
Do we have a crash retrieval program?
That's what I set out to do.
And then three months after I was on your show in April of 2023, the highest level intel officer, David Grush, testifies under oath That there is a crash retrieval program and the government does have definitive proof that we're not alone.
So he kind of opened the door for me.
And a lot had happened since the release of the phenomenon and moment of contact.
There was all this legislation.
There was the first congressional hearing.
There was behind closed doors meetings with a number of intel officers and witnesses.
And then you had the second congressional hearing, which was David Grush, which was absolutely phenomenal.
I'm sure you saw that.
And then just recently, just a couple of months ago, we had the third congressional hearing, which I actually, funny enough, got to attend.
It was the first time in my 30 years investigating.
I was actually sitting behind people while they were testifying under oath about legitimacy of the phenomenon as well as there's a crash retrieval program.
I mean, people have to understand that Feel like maybe these things aren't happening fast enough.
Just a couple years ago, they didn't even admit that the phenomenon is real.
Now there's people testifying under oath that we have a crash retrieval program.
So drip, drip, drip.
Things are happening.
They're not putting the genie back in the bottle.
joe rogan
Do you wonder at all that you're being mindfucked?
Do you wonder at all that this is a massive PSYOP and this is all just to cover up some very advanced American weapons technology?
james fox
I think it's a very good question, and here's why I don't believe that.
Because I have done 30 years of field research, right?
So I've gone to China, I've been to Russia, I've been to Australia and Africa, South America, Canada, Alaska, all across Europe, the United States, and I've investigated close encounters of the third kind.
And I'm going to ask your audience, don't take it from me, but the United States Air Force investigated and categorized Close Encounters of the First, Second, and Third Kind, right?
During their official capacity, Project Sign, Project Grudge, Project Blue Book.
joe rogan
Great fucking movie, by the way, if you haven't seen it, folks.
Close Encounters of the Third Kind.
Probably the best alien invasion movie of all time.
james fox
Dr. Hynek has a cameo appearance in that film.
unidentified
Did you know that?
joe rogan
I had heard that.
I don't remember who he was, though, but wasn't the franchise?
james fox
Yeah, Jacques Vallée.
joe rogan
He's supposed to be Jacques Vallée.
james fox
Jacques Vallée has a cameo.
Well, there's a guy acting his part, but actually Dr. Jalen Hynek, who's a scientific advisor to Project Blue Book all those years for the Air Force, actually has a cameo appearance, smoking a cigar during the encounter.
joe rogan
And that's him.
That's right.
james fox
That's Dr. Hynek.
joe rogan
That's right.
Smoking a pipe.
james fox
Smoking a pipe, and...
A lot of the cases write down to Richard Dreyfuss's face being burned by the UFO. Those came directly out of Project Blue Book Files.
Even the description of what the entities looked like.
Close Encounters.
Again, Close Encounters of the Third Kind.
This is the United States Air Force documenting this stuff.
And he took it directly out of Project Blue Book Files and made a movie out of it.
And as a little wink-wink-nudge-nudge, he has Dr. Hynek have a cameo appearance in the movie.
Most people don't know that.
joe rogan
It's a fantastic movie too.
james fox
It's a great movie.
joe rogan
Because it's a movie that's filled with, it's not like standard UFOs land.
There's some play going on.
There's some weirdness to the way they interact with us.
That sort of is much more realistic in terms of like the things that people experience.
james fox
Yeah.
joe rogan
They experience interactions, very strange interactions.
And when they had those little orb-like things that were flying around in the movie, that's all straight out of, like...
james fox
Oh, yeah.
joe rogan
Yeah.
james fox
Oh, 100%.
I remember I had a buddy of mine who was a pilot over Europe in the 70s, and he used to come for family dinners, and he was always talking about it, and I was like, yeah, yeah, yeah, whatever.
And then later, we're all in the life.
joe rogan
Foo fighters.
james fox
When I started getting an interest in UFOs, I was like...
Michael, tell me about that UFO encounter you had, that red orb.
He goes, it was just like it was in the close accounts of the third kind, Steven Spielberg's movie.
And I was like, ah, they took those files directly out of Project Moving Files and right onto the big screen.
joe rogan
That's what the Foo Fighters were, right?
james fox
Yeah, Foo Fighters, too.
They had little orbs.
joe rogan
Yeah.
james fox
Yeah, little orbs.
joe rogan
These fighter pilots are flying around.
They're seeing these things with them.
james fox
Well, let me ask you, and this is why that I don't think it's a PSYOP thing.
joe rogan
I don't think it's a PSYOP either.
james fox
Well, the reason why I don't is because...
Okay, I don't just believe Grush because he testified under oath and he's a high-level intelligence officer.
That's very impressive.
I believe Grush because his claims align with my personal research in the field.
Remember, I've investigated crash retrieval programs, crash retrieval cases, right?
And so I was...
I mean, when I put out Moment of Contact...
Well, actually, when I went in to put out Moment of Contact, people were going, James, you just dropped one of the biggest, most successful UFO films in terms of transcending the UFO community and penetrating a much broader, more mainstream audience.
Are you sure you want to put out a documentary that deals with an alleged crash and live aliens walking around the town of Virginia, Brazil?
Like, seriously, that's what you want to put out there?
You've got access to, like, Harry Reid and all these Intel insiders, and now you want to do that?
You're going to tarnish your reputation.
joe rogan
Who gave you that advice?
james fox
A lot of people did.
joe rogan
I wish you called me.
I was like, James, you can handle it.
james fox
You probably heard about Moment of Contact, and then you thought, oh, this sounds too crazy.
unidentified
No, I didn't.
james fox
You watched it.
joe rogan
No, I thought, well, I always think a crash and contact sounds crazy.
james fox
I know.
And it does.
joe rogan
I always think that.
But I would have never told you not to do it.
Okay, I would never told you not do it.
You're really good at this.
You know how to like you're really good at like explaining but you look at half the town Talking yeah, including the incredible story.
It's an incredible story.
It's a phenomenal story It's one of those stories where you like if everybody's in on this This is crazy if everybody's telling and no one there's not one contrarian that comes out and goes they all told me to lie I'm not fucking lying.
This is stupid.
They're doing it for tourism.
Oh, yeah one person Come on.
There's always some hater.
There's always some hater who wants to ruin your gag.
james fox
I remember.
joe rogan
You know what I mean?
james fox
I totally do.
I remember when I was making Moment of Contact and I wasn't done with it yet, Lou Elizondo was like, he's like, James, he called me up.
He goes, I need a copy.
I was like, the film's not done.
I don't care.
I need a copy.
Give me a rough cut.
I don't care.
I was like, okay, okay.
What's the urgency?
And he's like, you don't understand who's watching this right now.
So I was like, okay, so I'm giving him copies, and I had absolutely no idea ever in a hundred million years that I think we're going to be having, months after the release of Moment of Contact, a congressional hearing under oath that there's a crash retrieval program.
joe rogan
What year did Moment of Contact come out?
james fox
It came out at the end of 2022. Do you think Biden watched it?
joe rogan
Do you think he sat down with Biden?
That would have been wild.
james fox
He's been so dismissive of it all.
Obama said a lot more about it.
unidentified
You know why?
joe rogan
Because he's already in space.
He's in space right now.
james fox
He's like, go talk to Obama.
joe rogan
He's in orbit right now around Saturn.
unidentified
I was like, really?
james fox
That's the best you can do?
joe rogan
He's like Dr. Manhattan.
He's on the moon in a glass house.
james fox
Okay, let's see.
If Biden, if you're listening right now, you have nothing to lose.
joe rogan
Sir, you're the President of the United States, sir.
Release the hounds.
james fox
He's never running ever again.
joe rogan
Exactly.
james fox
He's not running for a second term.
Come on, we're done.
joe rogan
He's already pardoned more human beings than any president ever, other than Carter.
james fox
Listen to the advice at the end of the program by Senator Harry Reid, who's now the late Senator Harry Reid, and I said to him, What advice would you give the president?
It could have been any president at the time.
And he said, don't be afraid of tarnishing your legacy by addressing this issue head on.
And I hope that Biden gets to see that.
And I really hope that President-elect Donald Trump gets to see that.
People are ready for the truth.
They've had enough of the line.
I think we're way beyond that at this point.
joe rogan
I agree with you.
However, when I confronted Mr. Trump, he was very cagey.
james fox
Was he really?
joe rogan
Very cagey.
I've seen some things.
They told me some things.
He didn't tell me shit.
Really?
james fox
Did his eyes tell you?
joe rogan
It was basically like neither confirmed nor denied.
No, there was no eyes.
I don't do that shit.
Especially to a pro like Donald Trump.
Really?
Yeah, yeah.
You're going to do it to an actor or something.
Shut up.
Really?
You're not going to know what the fuck they think.
Yeah, if Daniel Day-Lewis told you that he just ate a baby, you'd fucking believe him.
You know what I mean?
You know what I mean?
Like, this idea that, like, what did his eyes tell you?
What did his eyes tell you?
It depends on the person.
Depends on the person.
If it's your regular crackpot and they tell you a lie, like, something's up.
But there's people that can hide things.
They can hide things behind their eyes.
I think he knows something.
I don't think he's that interested.
I think he's more interested.
I think he's sort of a no-nonsense type of guy.
This is why.
You kind of have to be managing multiple businesses simultaneously.
He's always done that his whole career.
Managed being on The Apprentice, while running these golf courses, while having these buildings, apartment buildings, hotels.
He's constantly doing something, right?
So while he's doing all that, and he's playing golf, while he's doing all that, There's no time for fucking aliens, man.
There's no time for nonsense.
There's no time for sitting around with your buddies, you know, smoking a cigar going, what do you think, man?
I mean, if I was them, man, I would do what they're doing, you know?
There's no time for that nonsense talk.
That guy's got businesses.
james fox
But we got objects of unknown origin flying over residential areas, flying over military bases, flying over nuclear silos.
joe rogan
Well, now I think he's much more interested because...
james fox
That's a matter of national security.
I mean, people are freaking out.
Like, what the hell are we seeing?
And they're going, we don't know what they are, but everything's fine.
We're totally safe.
There's no national security issue here.
We don't know what they are, but you're fine.
Don't worry about it.
What was the Steven Spielberg movie with the shark, the great white shark?
joe rogan
Yeah, Jaws.
james fox
Jaws.
Remember when they're like, everything's fine.
joe rogan
The mayor.
The mayor's like, keep swimming.
unidentified
Yeah, keep swimming.
james fox
The water's fine.
Everyone's saying people are getting bitten halfway.
joe rogan
That's the perfect analogy!
Dude, that is the perfect analogy.
That is it!
james fox
Everything's fine.
Go about your lives.
joe rogan
They're definitely not nukes, sniffing drones.
Come on.
Nukes, sniffing drones.
So what if some nuclear material was just stolen off a cargo ship?
Whatever, whatever!
Guys!
james fox
All the online conspiracy stuff is crazy, and I get a lot of it, because obviously what I do...
And people send me all kinds of stuff.
I was like, well, hang on a second.
I wish I could put boots on the ground.
But no, there's something really weird going on.
And the fact that they don't know, or they're claiming that they don't know what it is...
And here's another really funny thing.
I actually, in the program that I did now, and I hope you get a chance to watch it, because it's crazy.
It's got...
joe rogan
Tell people what it is.
james fox
Okay, so...
Basically, I was talking to you about earlier...
joe rogan
Tell people the title, the whole thing.
james fox
It's called The Program.
It's going to be on...
It just came out.
It's at number one right now.
It's on Amazon.
joe rogan
When did it come out?
james fox
Yesterday.
joe rogan
Oh, beautiful.
james fox
I know.
So, it came out yesterday.
It's on Amazon.
It's on Apple TV. And you can Google the...
Because they...
Algorithms are just starting to catch up with it on Google right now because everyone's like, I can't find it.
Look up the program and then Google James Fox UFO documentary, the program.
You will 100% find it.
It's being also made available internationally.
They're working as fast as they can to get it up.
It just went up yesterday.
It's the most independent film from start to finish that I've ever made.
And it covers...
What happened, because everybody thinks the government suddenly had this epiphany to decide to be more transparent with the general public.
That's not what happened.
What happened is there were a couple of intel insiders in the Pentagon reviewing some of this classified data or so-called classified data and resigned in protest of excessive secrecy.
They found a loophole.
This is Lou, probably Jay Stratton.
I don't know for sure.
Definitely Chris Mellon.
And they walked these evidence tapes out of the Pentagon through this loophole.
They bent the rules a little bit and onto the front page of the New York Times, right?
So that happened and it got...
it was just...
it was exploded.
You remember that.
And since then, there has been this unprecedented push by a bipartisan group of lawmakers to find out what the intelligence agencies know and when they knew it.
And so that started happening behind the scenes, right?
So it was 2017, 2018, 2019, 2020, In 2021, and then in 2022, they were like, we're having a Congressional hearing.
Congressman Andre Carson, I think he's in Wisconsin, but I'm not positive, he put on, he spearheaded the first open Congressional hearing, public open Congressional hearing.
And in that Congressional hearing, they acknowledged the fact that The phenomenon was real.
It was slowly introduced that we were not getting told the facts.
There was a document that came out called the Wilson Davis Memo.
And that was about the discovery by a former DIA guy, Admiral Wilson, of the crash retrieval program that was like maybe 20, 20 plus years ago.
And none of the names or anything in that document were redacted.
I cover that memo in the film.
And then...
2023, another congressional hearing.
This time it was David Grush talking about the crash-producible program.
It's been a steady progression.
And so a lot has gone on between 2017 and 2024. And that is what this film does, is it covers behind-the-scenes effort, bipartisan group of lawmakers' effort to find out what the intelligence agencies really know.
Yeah, and people that were, you know, and in one of them, there was an encounter, and I think I remember you hearing about it, because you wanted to get a hold of David Grush, and so you contacted me, and I actually had a drone up in the air in England, and I was like, I know.
And I had my phone attached to my drone thing, because that's what it was using as a controller for the screen.
And I'm flying the drone, and there was a huge windmill, and I saw this windmill, and I was like, oh, that's going to make a beautiful shot for the movie.
And it is in the movie.
So I'm up there flying it, and the wind, the turbines are going round.
how close my drone is to him.
unidentified
Oh, no.
james fox
So I'm paying really good attention, and I'm getting close to these big turbines, and all of a sudden my phone's ringing, and it's you.
I'm like, oh, my God.
I can't not answer this.
I've got to answer.
So I answered it while my drone was up there.
joe rogan
Oh, no.
james fox
And we talked briefly, and you said, hey, can you get me in touch with David Grush?
I said, yeah, I got a guy that I can put you in touch with, and that was Jason Sands.
And I guess you and Jason Sands talked about this alleged encounter in 1994 with this entity, alien, whatever you want to call him, in the desert.
joe rogan
Yes.
james fox
So, that was a crazy story.
joe rogan
Crazy story.
james fox
But in any case, when you watch the movie and the program, you'll see the drone flying dangerously close to these, and that's a funny little inside thing.
joe rogan
So it didn't crash.
james fox
It didn't crash, but I was on the phone with you when it happened.
But when you watch the footage, it's like, wow, that's really close.
joe rogan
Is that guy public with that story?
james fox
He, well, so...
joe rogan
Because otherwise I would discuss it.
james fox
Yeah, yeah.
joe rogan
Because it sounded so nutty.
james fox
No, no, yeah.
Okay, so here's what happened.
This is funny because when I was in Washington, D.C. with Mellon and this gentleman, Jason Sands, I'm using his name now, and Mellon looked at me and he goes...
This guy's story's pretty wild.
I was like, what do you mean?
He goes, really wild.
And we're sitting down having dinner, and Chris Mellon orders, he orders a, he orders a drink.
He had a tequila, so whatever.
Anyway, and we were all having dinner, and Jason Sands starts telling the story about this alleged encounter in 1994, and it's one of the craziest stories, and I've been doing this for 30 years, and this story is nuts, okay?
You remember it.
joe rogan
Oh, yeah.
So, yeah, I went like this to my phone, and he was telling it to me like this as well.
james fox
Yeah, me too.
Yeah, yeah, yeah.
Me too.
unidentified
It was one of those, wait, wait, what the fuck did you just say?
james fox
Insane.
joe rogan
Tell everybody what he said.
james fox
I will.
I'll get to that in one second.
This is the reason why I can discuss it publicly, I know.
The reason why I can discuss it publicly is because he was going to appear anonymously in the movie.
And I was debating on exactly how to go about doing this because I was torn because you got a statement from an individual.
You don't have his identity.
But I was in D.C. I put the whole thing down and I said, look, he was worried about his security.
He was a whistleblower.
He'd already testified to a number of Senate Intel Communities, Senate Armed Services Committee.
joe rogan
All about the UFO phenomenon?
james fox
Yeah, about the UFO phenomenon.
Part of the UOP task force, they found him and he was giving them information and reporting on things.
And so he goes, I'm really fearful.
I don't know if this witness protection program is going to be that helpful.
I'm just, I'm worried.
I said, look, if you're concerned about the story getting out or not getting out, if you want, I'm here.
You can come.
To our studio we could film you on camera and if anything happens to you it could be released and it could be a little insurance policy for yourself.
He goes, that sounds great.
Let's do it.
So I did a whole film about it and then I'm periodically posting clips or just still frames and updates on the movie as I'm making it as I do on social media and I posted this one scene and it had a clipboard in the scene and on that clipboard if you zoomed right in it had his name.
So I posted the, by accident, I posted the damn thing, and my phone starts blowing up ten minutes later.
You just revealed this guy.
What are you doing?
Take it down, take it down, take it down.
Too late.
Too late.
So it was out there, and he's getting all kinds of heat.
So, as a result of it, I'm giving the truncated version, he basically had to go through the Dobser process, which is basically pre-publication of authorization of what you can and cannot say.
Excuse me.
So, he basically could talk about a number of cases that were in the film.
We had to blurp out one particular word, which in the movie, it's blurred out.
We had to do that.
That was Dobser.
So, it was the winter of 1994. There was an unidentified flying object that was picked up on the base.
Old school UFO. Yes, sir.
It was a UFO. It was picked up on the base, and it was recorded by sensory data, and it was picked up on camera.
It had camera footage of it from different locations.
What did it look like?
It looked like a weird shape.
It was an unusual shape, and there's people talking about it.
It's in the movie.
joe rogan
The film is in the movie?
james fox
The film footage that leaked from the base is in the movie.
joe rogan
So you can see what it looks like flying around?
james fox
Kind of, yeah.
It's kind of blurry in some spots.
Yeah, you'll see it.
joe rogan
It's in the program.
james fox
It's in the program, yeah.
And then you hear all the voices.
I actually had the voices cleaned up.
You can hear people talking about, what the hell is it?
joe rogan
Is there a clip we could see online?
Just so I could show people what it looks like?
james fox
Damn.
I'm sorry.
joe rogan
Could you maybe just say the actual name of the incident?
Maybe Jamie could find it.
james fox
Yeah, try and find it.
It's Nellis Test Range UFO 1994. See if you can find it.
joe rogan
People put stuff up so quick.
james fox
It's long and it's really bad.
Yeah, true.
Good point.
joe rogan
Because it's on Amazon right now.
People put clips up so quick.
james fox
Yeah, that's true.
Yeah, and there's other things on there.
So in any case, so that video...
unidentified
Bam!
joe rogan
There it is.
james fox
Oh, that's terrible.
There's much better footage of it.
Yeah, there's much better footage of it.
It's in my movie.
I had it cleaned up.
But yeah, that's it, basically.
joe rogan
Can I see it again?
So that's what it looked like?
james fox
Wait, the footage I have is way better than this.
Yeah, sometimes it's...
So...
joe rogan
So, what did it look...
Jesus Christ, you know what that looks like, Jamie?
james fox
It's a very weird shape.
joe rogan
Jamie, you know what that looks like?
It looks like...
Looks like Terrence Howard's creation.
Doesn't it?
james fox
It's weird.
joe rogan
What is it?
What does he call that again?
But it was those things that lock together?
Those, you know, the flying drone thing that he created?
jamie vernon
Linchpins?
joe rogan
Linchpins.
Terrence Howard created this fascinating concept for like a drone where it's like propellers going all these different directions and they sync up and they link together and it looks like that.
james fox
Oh, yeah.
So it's...
Anyway, so it's footage, people talking about it.
What is it?
We don't know.
It's not identified.
And it flies around the base.
And that leaked.
And the names of the witnesses leaked.
Three days later...
joe rogan
Can you explain...
Sorry to keep cutting you off, but can you just say what it did, like how it moved?
unidentified
It just...
james fox
It was like...
It didn't have any visible means of propulsion.
It didn't have any wings.
It didn't have propellers.
It just looked like an object, a round sort of object...
Weird shape, almost like a helmet or something with things coming off of it.
And it was just moving around the base.
How fast?
Slowly.
There it is.
joe rogan
Oh, this is the footage?
Okay.
james fox
That's it.
That's exactly it.
joe rogan
It's definitely not a big balloon?
james fox
No, you hear everybody talking about it.
The audio that goes along with it, and I had it cleaned up, they're all talking.
Nobody knows what it is.
joe rogan
So this is Zoom?
Is this why it's moving around like that?
They're trying to keep it in focus and they're Zooming on it?
james fox
It's all...
Mr. Sands explains all of that in the film, the program.
He talks about it.
So anyway, so this leaks.
People's names, the witnesses leaks.
And...
Three days later, he's in a convoy.
Gesundheit.
He's in a convoy, and it's early in the morning, and there's three Jeeps, trucks, Jeeps, in convoy on a dirt road heading out Nellis Test Range.
And they see what looks like maybe somebody was involved in a plane crash.
There's somebody that was struggling out in the middle of the desert.
It was early in the morning.
It was wintertime and they're looking at this individual and they're like, oh my god, is that a person?
That individual needs some help.
That individual looks like they need some help.
They look cold.
Their skin had a slight blue tint to it.
And they're looking at this gentleman and they're like, hey, stop the convoy.
This person needs help, medical attention.
Maybe they had a plane crash and so we're going to help this person out.
And they pull the convoy over, and this individual comes up to the car.
Jason Sands gets out the right side of the door, and as he's getting out, somebody in the truck screams, he's got no effing ears.
And Jason says, he turns around and he looks at this guy, and he had the same kind of uniform that they had had on, but the uniform was just immaculate.
Like, there wasn't any dust on it, no dust on the boots.
And he was thinking to myself, well, that's weird.
This guy's got no ears.
Is this guy some kind of mutant?
And he looks at him and he said his eyes were a lot bigger.
It's all illustrated in the movie.
And then he starts talking like he said it was like a snake bite.
I mean, he was just paralyzed with fear.
It was really scary.
What am I looking at?
Is this a human?
Is this a mutant?
Is this an alien?
What is this?
And he starts talking to him in gibberish.
But he said he started to understand, like telepathically, everything this...
This person or entity, being, creature, alien, whatever you want to call it, was saying to him and he was looking for some kind of metal.
And he didn't know Tantillium.
And Jason's like, you know, I don't know.
I don't have any.
You mean titanium?
He's like, no, Tantillium or something.
And this conversation goes on for a bit, and then the guy just wanders back off and gets into that little craft that looked very similar to what you just saw there, and flies away, and he sort of stair-stepped away.
And everybody sort of came out of this comatose state, and off they went.
And we have the names of the other military witnesses that were on duty during the encounter, the alleged encounter.
People are going to criticize me because I'm reporting on a close encounter with a third guy.
But this, Jason Sands says he's willing to do a lie detector test like public.
He's willing to testify under oath that everything he's saying is true.
We have a date, we have a location, and we have the names of the other on-duty officers.
So what I'm hoping is, despite the level of criticism I'm going to receive for reporting on this, is that other individuals that have more information on this are going to be inclined to come forward.
I also met with people in the Senate Armed Service Committee, Senate Select Committee on Intelligence, sorry, in the House, and they said Jason Sands is who he says he is.
He checks out.
He's named previously classified or classified programs.
He's identified.
The guy's legit.
His credentials check out.
And so I opted to go ahead and report on it with the hope that more information will come out on it.
joe rogan
Listen, man, there's nothing wrong with reporting on a story like that.
There's been a bunch of them.
It's not a small number of these things where people have experienced these things.
And imagine if it's true.
james fox
If it's true, yeah.
joe rogan
They're not all liars.
I can't believe they're all liars.
But imagine being that person who had that experience and not have anybody believe you.
Not only that, but it could actually ruin your reputation and your career to talk about this experience, which is the reality of it.
And it's one of the things that stifled discourse on this until I think the New York Times really broke the ice.
I think in 2017 when they published that, all of a sudden serious people who were unwilling to talk about UFOs before just for the ridicule.
Now you've got the gimbal video, the go fast video, you've got fighter pilots, Commander David Fravor, you've got these people discussing these things openly and like, okay, this seems like something that a serious person can discuss now.
And so then it's open.
Actually meeting one and talking to...
It's like the Varginia story.
Like when I told people the cop picked it up and carried it in the car and the cop died from some horrible bacterial infection that they couldn't cure.
james fox
He was rubbing himself down with rubbing alcohol, according to his family.
He was like, this is greasy stuff on my skin.
And he was rubbing himself down and he had to stench, smell, grease.
And then I interviewed the doctors.
There's a couple of...
I'm actually going back to Brazil next month.
There were a couple of forensic pathologists that are willing to come forward that we're going to cover.
Kind of update the movie and re-release.
So it's an ongoing investigation.
joe rogan
Wouldn't that be the best protection from an alien planet's bacteria if you had the most vicious bacteria on the surface of your skin?
Right?
Like imagine, like if you go to another planet and the way to mitigate the effects of viruses and bacteria on that planet is to have skin fluid that's like unbelievably toxic.
Anything that comes near you just gets cooked.
james fox
Yeah, like a skunk.
joe rogan
Right.
james fox
Have you ever had a skunk?
joe rogan
Oh yeah, I had a skunk got my dog once.
james fox
I took out this guy's garbage one time, and he's like, hey, it's in my garage.
He flipped up the thing and dropped it in there.
So I was kind of hungover.
We had a party the night before, and I went out to the garbage can, and I kind of heard some rustling in the garbage can, but I didn't really think anything of it.
And I lifted up the thing, and then I heard some rustling again.
I put my head down inside, and the skunk just turned and got me right in the face.
Now, I held my breath, and I closed my eyes at the last second, and it went right through me.
It penetrated my molecules.
It was so powerful that it was paralyzing.
Absolutely paralyzing.
Can you imagine?
Just a smell.
That's their way of defense.
It's just this stench that just goes through your body and just paralyzes you.
joe rogan
That's crazy.
james fox
Anyway.
joe rogan
You got it in the mug, huh?
james fox
I got it right in the face.
joe rogan
How long did it take before you didn't stink?
Probably two weeks.
james fox
It was several weeks.
Yeah, and I tried the tomato, and I tried the baking soda.
joe rogan
I think they have special soap now, just for skunks.
But when my dog got zapped, she got zapped in like...
1980?
I think it was 1980, because I was living in Jamaica Plain.
And she went out in the backyard, and I think she thought that it was our cat, because we had a cat that was black and white.
And she just ran right up to that skunk, and it took her right in the side of her body.
She tried to turn away, but it got her all over her body.
She was wet with skunk spades.
It was so nasty.
I had to take her inside, and I had to do it, because she was my dog.
I was 13. I had to cover her with tomato juice and wash her down, and she still stunk.
The whole house stunk.
james fox
It's so funny, because I was getting ready for a road trip, this is a couple years ago, and I looked over, and I was like, did we walk Duke?
It was like 9 o'clock at night.
We were exhausted.
We packed everything up.
We had the car ready to go for the next morning.
It's like, did we walk Duke?
Did you walk Duke?
Take our dog.
So we died.
I was like, ah, it's 9 o'clock.
I just let him outside.
And I hear him like...
unidentified
No!
james fox
And then he goes...
And I thought, oh, my God, he just got eaten.
Somebody just ate him.
I was like, oh, my gosh.
I ran out there to look for him.
And he comes running in.
He jumps in bed covered in scone.
unidentified
The whole house.
james fox
Like, it was so, so strong.
It's unbelievable.
That smell is just like...
joe rogan
It's so incredible.
And the The way someone explains this to me, you know, like animals, like bloodhounds and bears, they have an insane sense of smell.
james fox
Oh God, like 100,000 times stronger than ours, right?
joe rogan
Right, but they can pick up parts per million the way we pick up skunk.
james fox
Really?
joe rogan
Yes.
james fox
Oh my God!
joe rogan
So think about that.
So if a skunk gets hit by a car like a mile away, you can smell it.
Have you ever driven in your car?
I don't know if it's a mile.
james fox
I could drive over it and then my car smells like it.
joe rogan
Yeah, but if you're in the neighborhood where a skunk got something, you could smell it.
unidentified
Yeah.
joe rogan
For some strange reason.
It permeates.
It carries more than any other smell.
With dogs, that's how they smell everything.
They're like, oh, Ross goes home.
They can smell things that you can't even imagine they can smell, especially like a bloodhound.
And then a bear can smell like, what is a bear's ability to smell above a bloodhound?
It's something crazy.
james fox
My friend was- Sharks in the ocean can sense blood from miles away, right?
joe rogan
Miles.
Miles.
james fox
It's incredible.
joe rogan
Insane.
Miles away.
They can smell blood miles away.
james fox
Guys, something...
I remember...
joe rogan
Look at this.
300 times...
Look at this.
This is crazy.
Bears are the best sense of smell of any animal on Earth.
For example, average dog's sense of smell is 100 times better than a human's.
A bloodhound's is 300 times better.
A bear's sense of smell is 7 times than a bloodhound's.
Or 2,100 times better than a human's.
unidentified
Unbelievable.
james fox
That's why they say when you go camping, put your food up in a tree or something, right?
joe rogan
Oh, 100%.
You have to.
james fox
Yeah, you can't have it in the tent at all.
joe rogan
Oh, when I was a kid, we went camping, and the bear broke open our cooler.
Yeah, people just had regular coolers back there.
james fox
If you'd have a little cookie in your pocket and be in your tent, you're going to have an issue.
joe rogan
Oh, 100%.
Yeah, 100%.
james fox
I remember when I was a kid, I went camping and they were like, don't have any food.
I was like, yeah, whatever.
No, no, no, put that stuff.
They were really adamant.
I was like, why are these guys making such a funk?
The bear's not going to smell a cookie in my pocket.
Of course they will.
joe rogan
They'll look at that like a wonton.
Look at that soft outer layer and there's meat inside of it.
They're going to look at that tent like it's trapped in there.
The meat is trapped in the tent.
This is crazy.
james fox
What was that one movie called where they got the Grizzly Man or something?
joe rogan
Yeah, Grizzly Man.
james fox
That's what it's called.
And they came and got him.
He thought he became one with the Grizzlies and then he got eaten.
joe rogan
That's a very complicated movie.
That's a Werner Herzog film.
james fox
Yeah, Werner Herzog.
Yes.
joe rogan
It's a really funny movie.
james fox
And the camera was rolling.
And they played it.
joe rogan
Sort of.
The camera was rolling, but the lens cap was on, so there was an audio.
james fox
So it's just audio.
unidentified
Yeah.
james fox
That's even worse.
joe rogan
The audio, by the way, folks, the audio you hear on the internet, that's fake.
james fox
Oh, it is.
joe rogan
That's not the real one.
The real audio, Werner Herzog told the lady to destroy it.
Destroy it.
No one should hear this.
james fox
So he heard it.
joe rogan
Yeah, he heard it.
It's long, you know, because bears don't kill you, they eat you.
You know, like a salmon.
They don't kill salmon.
They just put their paw down and start pulling chunks off of it.
That's what they do with people, too.
james fox
That's terrifying.
joe rogan
Well, they don't have any predators.
So they don't have to kill things and then, you know, worry about someone taking it from them.
You're not taking shit from a bear.
Especially a grizzly bear.
You're not taking shit from a bear.
Unless you're a bigger bear.
So, like, all the other animals have to worry.
Like, mountain lions kill quick because wolves will steal from mountain lions.
And apparently in the areas where wolves have been introduced, it's actually become a problem because mountain lions are killing much more than they normally do.
Because mountain lions will kill, like, a deer, two deer a week, something like that.
james fox
And eat two deer a week.
That's a lot of meat.
joe rogan
Well, they're big.
A big mountain lion is, you know, 150 pounds.
It's a big cat.
Their cats are just...
They're obligate predators.
All they eat is meat.
You know, bears will eat a little berries.
They'll eat a bunch of shit.
Not cats.
So the cats are killing more because the wolves scare the cats off of the kill.
So if the cat's on a kill and a bunch of wolves show up, the cat will just get the fuck out of there.
Like, fuck this.
james fox
Because he feels he doesn't want to defend himself against the wolves?
joe rogan
Exactly.
Because wolves hunt in packs.
So there might be 13, 14 wolves and one cat.
The cat will just get the fuck out of there.
Cats run from dogs.
Right?
Like, they have a fear of, like, canines.
And I think it's from wolves stealing their food.
So, like, that's how they hunt cats.
The way they hunt them, you have to tree them.
Because otherwise, you're not going to find them.
If you find a mountain lion...
james fox
What do you mean by tree them?
joe rogan
You have to get the dogs to bark them up a tree.
unidentified
Oh, wow.
joe rogan
So they run up a tree and then they shoot them when they're in a tree.
unidentified
Oh, shit.
joe rogan
Yeah.
It sounds cruel, but listen, they have to do that to manage the populations.
If they don't, they start eating dogs.
That's what you get in San Francisco.
California still kills mountain lions.
They kill as many mountain lions as they would if they gave tags out to people to kill them, because you have to kill certain numbers of them for depredation, because they'll start killing livestock, they'll start killing dogs.
In the Bay Area, the problem cats that they wound up killing in San Francisco, half their diet was pets.
james fox
Really?
joe rogan
Half their diet.
Half their diet was house cats, dogs and cats.
That's half their diet.
Half of their diet.
So you manage, you know, a hundred plus pound cat and he's running around just eating dogs.
You leave your dog in your backyard, gone.
Happens all the time.
unidentified
Wow.
joe rogan
It happened to my dog.
james fox
Really?
joe rogan
Yeah, my dog in Colorado got eaten by a mountain lion.
It happens.
james fox
Oh God, I feel so bad for my little guy.
joe rogan
It's terrible.
james fox
I'm not there to protect my little feller.
You know, one time I was hiking up this mountain, and I had my son with me at the time, and he was in that little pouch, you know, that little pouch that you put in the front?
He was probably like maybe two, two and a half.
And I was hiking this mountain pretty daily.
It's funny, actually, because when I went up there without him, I was like, well, this is why people hike with weights on.
This feels amazing.
I could run up this mountain.
Anyway, I was going to the mountain, and I had my dog, my little Duke, and I had my son walking up this mountain, and I come around this, like, go to the left hand.
It's pretty exposed, not too many trees, some bushes, and it's a hot, sunny day, and I see this leg of a deer, like, just fresh kill with blood on the ground.
I was like, God!
Damn, what the hell?
Wow, that's fresh.
I was like, huh.
I kind of keep going and come around the corner and there's a long straightaway.
The hill goes up like this.
And I see what looks like a big, like, greyhound dog.
Kind of like brown.
Kind of walking kind of back and forth like this with a tail.
And I was like, man, who the hell is greyhound is doing out here?
Like, what the hell is...
That's a mountain lion.
I was like, holy shit.
And the mountain lion turns around and looked at me.
And I had my kid.
I was like, shit, I... So I grabbed my dog, and I turned around, and I started running, and I knew that I shouldn't be running.
So I'm running going, I shouldn't be running, I shouldn't be running, I know I shouldn't be running, but I wanted to get around the corner and get out of its line of sight.
And then I go...
unidentified
I go, well, if he comes up on me, I'm going to have to throw my dog.
james fox
I was like, I looked at Duke, and if it comes down to it, Duke, you're going to have to take one for the team.
joe rogan
Oh, my God.
That's a horrible choice.
james fox
It was a horrible choice, but I had my son.
Of course.
joe rogan
I get it.
james fox
But I remember looking at him, and I was looking at my dog going, oh, man, this is a horrible decision I have to make, but if it comes down to it, I'm going to have to sacrifice you, buddy.
joe rogan
I love you.
james fox
But it didn't come down to it.
But I remember running going, you're an idiot, James.
Why are you running?
You're not supposed to be running.
joe rogan
You can't run.
Well, that's the problem with mountain bikers.
They get got because when they pass by a cat, it's almost like rolling a ball of yarn past a kitten.
They're predators.
james fox
And they'll catch bikes, huh?
joe rogan
Oh, yeah, they get people on bikes.
Yeah, that's happened a few times.
They get people on bikes.
They get joggers, people on bikes.
They think you're running away from them.
james fox
Could you imagine what it was like to be running for your life, having something like that chase you?
joe rogan
Yeah, I can.
I mean, it hasn't happened to me, but I've seen them.
I've seen three of them in my lifetime, only one of them that scared the shit out of me.
I saw one in Colorado.
I saw one in Montecito, like the Santa Barbara area.
It was small.
Those are small ones.
They were like 50, 60 pounds.
And then I saw one with a buddy of mine, my friend Colton and I. We spotted one under a tree that was 30 yards away.
We were in a truck and it made me shit my pants.
unidentified
Wow.
joe rogan
It was so big.
This one was really big.
This was a mature male with a big pumpkin head and huge forearms like a fucking bodybuilder.
It was freaky.
It was freaky to see.
You know, it was, first of all, it was dusk.
So the sun was going down and the lights of the truck, even though it wasn't quite dark yet, the lights of the truck were making his eyes glow.
james fox
Oh my god.
joe rogan
And you could see him with the naked eye, but then I put my binoculars on.
And so I've got these 10 power binoculars and I'm zoomed in on this thing's face.
I'm like, holy shit.
james fox
Looks like he belongs in Africa.
joe rogan
Well, he belonged right where he was, man.
We didn't belong there.
james fox
Let me tell you a really cool story that's a UFO, the best UFO picture I think has ever taken.
joe rogan
Do you have it?
Can I look at it or are you going to tease me?
james fox
No, no, no.
We're going to look for it.
Okay, so can you find the program trailer on here at all?
joe rogan
Yeah, for sure.
james fox
Find the program trailer.
I'm going to tell you about this.
joe rogan
Is this the trailer?
Yeah, this is the trailer.
Let's just watch the trailer.
james fox
Let's watch it.
unidentified
Exposing a secret government program investigating UFOs.
That story was kind of a catalyst for a lot of things that have happened since.
Members of Congress started to ask questions.
adam schiff
Instruments report there is something there.
unidentified
There are flight characteristics that we can't explain.
UAPs are unexplained.
It's true.
They need to be investigated.
Here we are having a hearing where just a few years ago we didn't even acknowledge that these things were real.
Do you believe that our government is in possession of UAPs?
david grusch
Absolutely, based on interviewing over 40 witnesses over four years.
james fox
You're telling me people have come forward claiming first-hand knowledge of craft of non-human origin?
unidentified
That's correct.
We have sources who have asserted not only that there have been crashes, but there have been crash retrievals.
Do we have the bodies of the pilots who piloted this craft?
Biologics came with some of these recoveries, yeah.
Were they human or non-human?
Non-human.
I'm sitting here today because the American people are being lied to.
We are the American government, and we are open, and we're going to be open about this.
What has been revealed, non-human intelligence exists, non-human intelligence has been interacting with humanity, is only part of the story.
joe rogan
The pressure's on.
unidentified
The Pentagon, the CIA are going to have to answer the mail.
Some are risking everything.
Have you had incidences that have caused you to be in fear for your life?
joe rogan
Yes, personally.
unidentified
To uncover the rest.
james fox
What is being done to verify the assertion that the US government has spaceships of non-human intelligence in their possession?
unidentified
That kind of revelation unearths people's beliefs.
I would go to jail to say things that I've been exposed to in the program.
joe rogan
Bro, is that Mick Jagger?
Was that other guy Mick Jagger?
james fox
Isn't he amazing?
That's Hal Puthoff.
joe rogan
Hal Puthoff?
Oh, yeah, I know!
james fox
Does it look like Mick Jagger?
joe rogan
That's not Mick Jagger?
james fox
That's Gary McKinnon!
He's the biggest computer hacker in history.
joe rogan
Let me see what he looks like.
james fox
He almost went to jail for life because he was like, I'm gonna find out what the government knows about UFOs.
So he hacked into the systems.
NSA, CIA, DIA, like...
joe rogan
Where is he?
james fox
Yeah.
Oh, you want to see that really cool picture?
joe rogan
No, in the film.
james fox
Oh, yeah, yeah.
You've got to go towards the end.
He looks exactly like Mick Jagger.
That's really funny you should say that because I saw it and I'm like, wait a minute.
That does look like a rock star.
He is a rock star in the UFO community.
It's coming up.
You'll have to pause it quickly when it hits.
But Gary McKinnon took it upon himself, a computer hacker, to find out if the government had proof of alien visitation.
And he spent a couple years hacking systems, and he got paydirt.
joe rogan
There he is.
james fox
That was it.
joe rogan
Bro, that's Mick Jagger.
james fox
Doesn't it look like Mick Jagger?
It does look like Mick Jagger.
joe rogan
Mick Jagger's into UFOs.
You should just only show that clip, you know, like they do in horror movies where the mask is not that good.
It's real quick.
unidentified
Yeah.
james fox
But so, well, I was going to tell you, there's a photograph of a jet circulating.
Can I go into a little bit of detail?
unidentified
Yes, please, please.
james fox
Because everyone's always worried about, like, where's the good evidence?
Where's the good photograph?
joe rogan
Show me that photograph again.
james fox
So it's, yeah, there we go.
joe rogan
This was a lost photograph that was recovered, correct?
james fox
Yeah, yeah.
You know about this?
joe rogan
Yeah, I know about this.
james fox
Okay, so I heard about this in the late 90s.
joe rogan
Tell everybody about it.
james fox
Okay, so there was a guy, Nick Pope, who investigated as part of the UFO desk at the Ministry of Defense of England in the late 90s, mid to late 90s.
Maybe in as late as early 2000s.
But in any case, and I was interviewing him for a number of my films.
I did a film called Out of the Blue, I Know What I Saw, before I did The Phenomenon.
And I asked him, like, hey, man, you were a part of the UFO desk at the MOD. What was the best case you ever saw?
And he goes, oh, man.
1990. He didn't give me the town.
It was Calvine.
But he said, Scotland, there were two poachers.
They called them hikers, but they were actually poaching.
And so it made me think about this when we were talking about animals earlier.
And he said it was late in the afternoon.
They were in a place.
I now know it's called Calvine.
And they came upon, in this relatively remote area, I know because I hiked out to the exact spot, and it's in the movie, but And they came upon this diamond-shaped or disc-shaped object that was quite large that was hovering silently really close.
I mean close.
And they were scared to death and they were kind of hiding out underneath this tree and they're looking at this thing like, what the are we looking at?
And they're looking at this thing as it's silently hovering.
Remember, this is 1990, okay?
And one of them had a camera.
And just as he was considering taking his camera out, a military jet came in.
Turns out it was one of those Harrier jet.
They think it was a Harrier jet.
And it came out into the scene and it flew all the way around the disc.
And as it did so, the guy mustered up the courage, came out from under the tree, and he snapped five or six photographs of this object suspended in the air, and it went...
So the disc is here, and the plane is flying around.
unidentified
It's click, click, click, click, click, click.
james fox
And the reason why I know this is because the individual who kept one of the prints, thank you very much, Craig Lindsay, RAF Press Officer, and thank you, David Clark, for uncovering this because it's the most amazing picture ever.
And the two hotel workers just outside the town of Calvine, Scotland, Came back and they were like telling their co-workers, oh my god, we encountered this thing, we don't know what it was.
So they go to the local newspaper and they were like, hey man, we just filmed something in the sky.
We got six prints of it.
It was 35mm film footage, right?
And they're going to go public with their story.
Two witnesses, broad daylight, a UFO, points of reference, with a military jet flying around, five or six prints.
That's pretty solid evidence, right?
So, uh...
The local newspaper was like, they're about to go public with it, print the story, and they were like, well, we need a statement from the RAF. So they contacted the press officer, Craig Lindsay, and they were like, hey, what do you make of this UFO these guys took?
And Craig Lindsay goes, I don't know what you're talking about.
I haven't seen the picture.
You haven't seen it?
Well, let me send you a print.
This is the newspaper.
Sends him a print, big print like this, the one you see today, and he's like, holy shit, the hell is this?
He's an RAF press officer, Craig Lindsay, and he's like, so he starts getting in touch with the MOD and he goes out and he investigates this, go talk to the witnesses, talk to the witnesses, and they were telling him, And he goes, well, they tell him what happened, and he goes, well, what kind of noise did it make?
And they say, it didn't make any noise.
He goes, no noise?
That's impossible.
An object that can hover like that in the sky for that period of time?
We're talking 34 years ago.
It didn't make any noise?
And the witness said, no.
So he was like, holy, this is crazy.
So he takes a color Xeroxing machine, and he sends it to the MOD in London, and he says, hey, there's a case that you might want to look into, and here's a Xerox, which is really crappy.
It's just a scanned Xerox, like a fax machine, over to MOD. He said he went from the office where the Xerox machine was, and before he can get back to his office, his phone was ringing off the hook.
MOD. And the MOD basically stepped in, took over the investigation.
They said, you can step down to Craig Lindsay.
He steps down.
He keeps the print, right?
He steps down.
They take over.
Witnesses gone.
Five or six prints gone.
Story killed, right?
So, 30, and we'd rumored about it because Nick Pope had talked about this case in a book he wrote called Open Skies, Closed Minds.
And then I talked to him about it in late 90s, then I talked to him about it again in the early 2000s, and I was like, Nick, especially in 2007, I was like, tell me about this photograph.
And he's like, oh, it was incredible.
We had a big poster of it on the wall, the MOD, and I was like, well, where is it?
He goes, well, I don't know.
I stepped down.
I'm no longer at the UFO desk.
And I said, well, they didn't just throw that away.
Why don't you get in touch with the people that were there and find out?
He's like, oh, you know, James, I can't just make those inquiries.
We killed the story.
It was like, you know, so I was incredibly frustrated.
So discreetly for over a 20-year period, I was making inquiries because I don't like letting things go, right?
It was like, this picture exists.
And bloody hell, let's get this one out there.
But...
The story went dark.
So David Clark found Craig Lindsay, and the way he found Craig Lindsay, the guy that kept one of the prints, is that he got a declassified government document out of the MOD's office that had redactions on it.
And one of the things it said was, it was 1990, and they said, RAF press officer in Scotland, blacked out, you know, said that blah, blah, blah, blah, blah.
And he was like, huh.
Who was the RAF press officer in 1990 in Scotland?
Craig Lindsay.
Boom, contacts Craig Lindsay.
They started communication going, and then after like...
joe rogan
So much for redactions.
james fox
Yeah, so much for redactions, right?
And so this whole dialogue starts going, developing a...
And then he goes, well, gosh, I guess I might have one.
It turns out he ended up keeping one of those prints, which he had.
And that story broke probably two years ago.
David Clark, again, I can't thank you enough.
You deserve accolades for this.
And so I flew to England.
I met with David Clark and his crew, the people that did the analysis work.
Then I went up to Scotland.
I met with Craig Lindsay, the RF press officer, gave me the first and only on-camera interview about it, what astonished him about it, the analysis work they did on it, what the witnesses said.
But we didn't have the witnesses.
The people that took the photograph.
We didn't have them, but I was going to report on this anyway, just because, wow, this is the picture that we've all been waiting for.
This picture is phenomenal.
But if you don't have provenance and you don't have the background story on it, it could be AI, it could be right, it could be a hoax.
Some people call it a reflection.
Not a reflection, not a hoax.
I'm ending production of the program, and I get a text from David Clark, and he goes, something big's about to happen.
And I said, what?
He goes, just sit tight.
I can't go public right now, but something big's about to happen.
There's a new development.
I hate teases.
Well...
I'm coming out with it.
I promise.
joe rogan
But he teased you.
james fox
I hate it.
He did tease me.
But I was like, well, I'm almost done with the movie.
And if this is something I can include in the movie about the case, please let me know.
So long story short, this guy, Richard Greaves, who was one of the hotel cooks, worked in the kitchen with the photographers, with the two witnesses that took the photograph.
And Richard Greaves came forward on print.
But I contacted David Clark.
I was like, hey, can you get me an interview with this guy?
So he kept putting it off, putting it off, putting it off, and then finally, I didn't want to be persistent, but I didn't want to annoy the guy to the point where he's like, hey, you know what?
Fuck you.
You're being annoying.
But I got it right up to that point, where I was like, I was wrapping the movie.
The movie's done, and I want to get this movie out, because all the people that participated wanted it out.
And then I finally sent him one final text, and I was like, look, I'm really sorry to pastor you, and I know you're probably really busy, and I really appreciate the fact that you even said that you'll meet me, but that you'll give me an interview.
And then probably about 10 o'clock that night, I'm in the edit room buttoning the film up, and all of a sudden I get a phone call, and he's like, I've just come out of the pub, and I'm ready to go.
I was like, okay, grab a camera, roll it, let's record this.
And he reveals that he knew the witnesses.
He worked with them in the kitchen.
He gave all the specifics.
He provided their names.
And then he said that two or three nights, four nights after they took that photograph, they were all on a cigarette break at the hotel early evening, pissing rain.
He said a car rolled up.
There were three guys in it, a driver and two men in suits in the back.
They roll up, they come out, they say cigarette breaks over, they pull the two witnesses aside, and they grill him.
And you got to hear it directly from the horse's mouth.
Richard Greaves said that when they were all, the people that were not involved with the incident were told to go back inside the hotel, which they did, but they looked through the window and they saw in the pissing rain, he said they were out there for 10 or 15 minutes in the pissing rain, And that these guys, they came back inside and they were white as a...
He literally goes, they came back inside and they were white as a fucking ghost!
Which we all get a good laugh out of.
And then they started drinking heavily and within a couple of weeks they vanished without a trace and they've been gone ever since.
So we report on this.
And yeah, that's a replica.
jamie vernon
It's way too clear.
james fox
That's a replica from Nick Pope that he did for some series talking about it.
And that was before the real photograph was found and printed.
joe rogan
Let's see the real photograph again.
james fox
Yeah, show the real photograph again.
I got it in...
There it is.
Yep.
joe rogan
Okay, so what was he doing?
Show the fake one one more time.
james fox
Yeah, that's a recreation before it leaked out.
joe rogan
So was he just recreating what he remembered?
james fox
Yes.
joe rogan
Can we see the real one again?
james fox
It's pretty damn good, isn't it, that he remembered that?
joe rogan
Not bad.
james fox
Not bad.
joe rogan
Missed the barbed wire fence, but not mad.
Put in a bunch of bullshit background.
james fox
I went to the exact location.
joe rogan
What all the bullshit he put in there?
Put in beautiful hills.
james fox
I know.
And that fence is still there.
joe rogan
Go back to the real one?
james fox
Yeah, that fence is still there.
I took a modern...
joe rogan
So what is that jet in the background?
james fox
A Harrier jet is what I'm told.
They're 99% sure.
joe rogan
And was that Harrier jet...
Trying to figure out what this was?
james fox
Well, like I said, in the other prints, according to Craig Lindsay, the RAF press officer, he said the other six prints or five prints had that Harrier jet in a different position.
So he said it was as if the Harrier jet flew around checking that out.
joe rogan
Where are those other prints?
james fox
We have other M.O.D. just ever gone.
They killed the story.
I mean, the guy at the M.O.D. who worked there, Nick Pope, told me that they did everything they could to squash it because...
joe rogan
Don't you think they probably have it filed away somewhere?
james fox
Of course they do.
Of course they didn't throw those pictures away.
They killed the story.
joe rogan
Can you zoom in on this, Jeremy, please?
james fox
Yeah, that's a really crap copy.
You're looking at a really bad prank, you guys.
joe rogan
Could you zoom it in?
james fox
I've got a much better version of it.
joe rogan
You got it on your phone?
james fox
I do.
joe rogan
Text it to a homie.
This image is weird.
It's hard to see what you're looking at, you know?
james fox
It's, yeah, well let me show you a much better copy of it.
Hang on, let me just scroll up here because I've got a really good, I got the original print of this copy.
But, you know, people talk about, you know, the more compelling data and the lengths.
So this is...
This is the photograph that I took at the site.
You can get an idea of that.
joe rogan
Okay.
james fox
See how...
joe rogan
That's what it looks like.
james fox
Right?
How similar, right?
joe rogan
Yeah, it looks exactly the same.
james fox
Yep.
And then here is...
Here's the print.
And I could text that to you guys if you want.
joe rogan
Yeah, text that to me.
I'll text it to James.
james fox
I'll text it to you guys.
joe rogan
Send both of them.
It's very interesting.
james fox
Very interesting case.
I mean, again, I think it's one of the best photographic cases because you're not dealing with just a UFO. You've got a military jet in the background.
And if you have a date and a location, guess what?
That pilot's still out there.
That pilot probably got it on radar and probably got gun cam for it.
joe rogan
If he's still alive.
james fox
Well, he would have been probably...
Young, right?
Pilots are young.
He would have been in his 30s or maybe early 40s, and that was 34 years ago.
So chances are he's still alive.
They're pretty fit, right?
joe rogan
Yeah, maybe he's in his 70s.
james fox
Okay, I'm going to text this to you right now.
Here we go.
unidentified
Boom.
james fox
You should have that.
Did I get you all?
Did I get all of them to you?
And here is a picture of Craig Lindsay.
This is great.
You're going to love this.
Okay, this is the guy that kept it.
joe rogan
I didn't get it yet.
james fox
You didn't?
unidentified
No.
james fox
I wonder if it's because I have my phone on airplane mode.
joe rogan
Yeah, take it off airplane mode, bro.
I told you to do that.
james fox
Oh, you did?
joe rogan
I was trying to explain to you.
james fox
Oh, sorry.
Okay, it's off now.
I'm sorry.
joe rogan
Otherwise, it won't actually send it.
james fox
Oh, it won't.
Okay.
unidentified
All right.
james fox
Here we go.
Here we go.
joe rogan
It's like dealing with my dad.
james fox
I know.
I'm so bad.
I know.
You were telling me how to do it.
I was like, I haven't done that before.
joe rogan
It's funny.
People don't understand how to use their phones.
james fox
Tell me if that goes through.
joe rogan
Okay.
I'm waiting.
No, it's still.
unidentified
Okay.
james fox
Great, great shot.
joe rogan
Do you need me to send it?
james fox
Here, you do it.
Here, there's that one, and there's flip left to right on it.
But, you know, it just goes to show the lengths that the Intel community, the Ministry of Defense, the DOD go to hide the more compelling photographic data, because it's so easy to complain, like, oh, well, if they were real, there would be good...
Well, there are some really good prints.
joe rogan
Bro, you got Joe Exotic in your phone.
james fox
God!
jamie vernon
You guys are looking at other stuff.
I found drones that you can...
I don't know that they're commercially available.
james fox
Did you get all the ones you wanted?
jamie vernon
But you can have a drone up for 24 plus hours.
joe rogan
That didn't send it to me either.
james fox
Are you serious?
joe rogan
Yeah.
So weird.
james fox
Am I sending it to the wrong telephone number?
joe rogan
Let me just check.
Let me see the number you have.
You might have my old number.
james fox
Well, I definitely have it on signal.
Here, you do it.
Here, fuck it.
You take over.
You drive.
Because I'm clearly failing at this one.
joe rogan
I'm just going to check to see what I sent it to because I changed my number because people get weird.
james fox
Oh, I can totally imagine that would be the case.
jamie vernon
I found some drones that these companies say that you can take off anywhere.
They're showing them taking off from like small platforms in the ocean.
They can stay up in the air for 14 plus hours.
They're small and they do have propellers.
I will say that.
james fox
Yeah, and like I said, the question is, are all these drones explainable by aliens?
And the answer, obviously, is no.
The question is, are any of these bona fide UAP? And there's definitely some evidence to suggest that's the case.
But again, there's always misidentification of more conventional stuff, right?
Right.
And then there's a stubborn core percent.
I'll give you an example.
This is something that I've discussed a little bit recently.
Did you find it okay?
joe rogan
Yes.
james fox
Okay, good.
Finally, we got that enigma worked out.
joe rogan
Yeah, it's just your 5G is very slow.
james fox
Oh, really?
unidentified
Yeah, you're using AT&T. Oh, you're using Verizon.
joe rogan
Verizon.
I use Verizon, too.
james fox
Really?
joe rogan
Yeah, it's just real slow.
james fox
Do I have, whatchamacalliton?
joe rogan
I accidentally sent myself these other ones of the guy holding it up, too.
unidentified
Oh, cool.
james fox
Yeah, that's cool.
That's Craig Lindsay.
joe rogan
So, I'll send this to you, Jamie.
james fox
So, let me tell you a little story that's pretty cool, which I never thought that this would happen.
There's a guy, Kirk McConnell, who's Senate Armed Service Committee, and he participated at the very last minute in my film.
He's in the trailer.
And he, in an official capacity with a high-level clearance, he had been investigating UFOs ever since the New York Times article in 2017. So he was behind the scenes 2017, 2018, the tail end of 2017. 2018, 2019, 2020, 2021, 22, 23, 24, and then he stepped down.
And he came through some intel folks.
We got in touch, and I said, hey, man, my film's almost done.
If you want, I could squeeze in one final interview.
He decided to participate.
Up he went.
We became friends.
We've been talking.
And he said, So I went to the congressional hearings, which was incredible.
And people say, oh, it was a big nothing burger.
But you know what?
It was very exciting.
Seeing people testify under oath that there's a crash for evil program.
Seeing an rear admiral, Tim Gallaudet, saying that they're under the water.
I mean, it's pretty fascinating stuff.
So I had to apply for a security background on me, which was about 48 hours.
And then I got approval for that.
And then I showed up at a wing across the street from the Pentagon.
And I had to go through the metal detector, and then there are these, kind of exciting for me, because I had never had this kind of experience before.
There were these, like, glass tube-type things that were lined up, like, in a row, and only one person can go in at a time.
The doors open, just like in Star Trek, and you walk in, and that door closes, and another one opens, and you go through the other side.
Then I had to get rid of my phone and everything and leave it outside, and then I go into a skiff.
Which is a sensitive compartmented information facility.
It's gifts, all super top secret, whatever.
And I got to meet with the new head of Arrow, John Koskowski.
I was like, I can't believe I'm in the belly of the beast.
This is crazy.
How could I? I'm a civilian.
I don't belong here.
But we started talking, just very nonchalantly.
I said, hey, you guys got to throw us a bone.
I said, you know, we're not going away.
This story is not going away.
And I said, and you know what we're ultimately dealing with.
I mean, obviously, the vast majority of UAP or UFOs can be and have been explained away in down-to-earth conventional terms, right?
But there's a stubborn core 15%, 20% that really defy conventional explanation, not because of a lack of data, because they truly can't explain what these things do.
And you know well, you've had many people on.
These objects exhibit a technology that's just light years advanced from anything that we have.
And it's been well-documented since the 1940s, and possibly some people would say way before that.
But modern-day UFO wave, no question.
So there's two stories.
One is, someone's been in possession of this revolutionary technology for 85-plus years and kept it secret.
Or two, we're not alone, right?
So I said...
I said to the gentleman, very candidly, you know, we're probably dealing with a small percentage of NHI, and what's the plan to tell the general public?
And this was just a couple weeks ago.
And he looked at me and he goes, James, I can't part my hair without approval from the DOD. And you can quote me on that.
And that was him, in my opinion, telling me, hey, this is structured in a way that my hands are tied.
I can uncover all the things in the world, but I can't tell the general public or even Congress without the DOD approving it first.
So that's what's kind of happening right now.
And one of the reasons why we were so fortunate to get the number of, I say, whistleblowers or potential whistleblowers or people to come forward in the program is because they were super frustrated with the previous head of era, which is a guy named Sean Kirkpatrick, Which basically just kind of blanket, you know, denied pretty much almost everything.
And people were extremely disappointed with that.
joe rogan
Just like Blue Book.
james fox
Yeah, kind of like Blue Book, yeah.
joe rogan
They've always done that, right?
james fox
Yeah, but...
joe rogan
But again, it brings us back...
james fox
But not everybody's doing it.
Not everybody's doing it.
joe rogan
Right.
There's a bunch of...
Well, I think now, also, with the internet, there's ways to get information out that's much quicker and cleaner...
james fox
No question.
joe rogan
...than trusting a reporter.
james fox
Yeah.
joe rogan
You know, and then your life's in danger, and the reporter gets threatened, and...
james fox
Yeah.
joe rogan
Yeah, now things just kind of get out.
james fox
So, well, I've thought about this.
Like, you know, I'm going back to Brazil and I thought, you know, I'm obviously going after, you know, additional eyewitness testimony.
I'm going after the photographic stuff.
And those of you out there that are, like, tired of hearing about it, well, I spent...
20 plus years in search of the photograph that I featured just now, that one with the background story on it, Providence, that sort of thing.
joe rogan
Jamie, go look at the one that I sent you.
It's a better version of it.
james fox
Yeah, and so just because you can't, after a year or two, haven't successfully obtained stuff.
joe rogan
So this is a better version of it.
james fox
Yeah, it's a better version that you can see the granular of the film footage.
unidentified
It's weird.
joe rogan
It almost looks like there's something in the back.
james fox
It does look a little bit like that.
joe rogan
Like a little propeller or something, like a Jetsons type thing.
unidentified
Brrrr.
james fox
But let's just say...
joe rogan
And that thing was silent, supposedly?
james fox
Silent.
According to the witnesses, it didn't make any sound.
It hovered there for an extended period of time, but when it took off, it took off straight vertical, like this.
Straight up.
joe rogan
Fast?
james fox
It started going fast, faster, faster, faster, and then it was gone.
Yep, that was Craig Lindsay, who interviewed the witnesses, who told me that.
And it's so weird though, according to Richard Greaves, in Scotland, the Americans got involved.
joe rogan
Of course, we get involved in everything.
james fox
Yep, they showed up and they intimidated the shit out of the witnesses.
And I know people can criticize me for reporting on these alleged men in black, but it's not me saying it, it's the witnesses that are saying it.
And I did it full bore for the first time, full bore for the first time in Moment of Contact, because I remember hearing these stories for decades, and I finally was like, everyone's going to think I'm crazy if I report on this, but this lady who was the mother of the two daughters that had these visits and the intimidation, and I was like, screw it, I'm just going to report on this, and I'll just take the criticism, you know?
And then I wasn't expecting this to be the case with this photograph, but lo and behold, it was.
But anyway, it's a huge story.
In my opinion, they can't put the genie back in the bottle.
It's coming out, and it's drip, drip, drip.
But I have to remind your audience, people that are feeling impatient, that we've had three open congressional hearings in the last three years.
joe rogan
Yeah.
james fox
We hadn't had any in over 50 years prior to that.
joe rogan
It's definitely, even though it's still difficult to get information and figure out what's actually going on, there's way more open mainstream discussion of it.
james fox
Way more.
And it's frustrating at times.
I get it.
People are like, oh, well, why all these people?
Why can't they just say, why can't David Grush just tell us?
Well, I can remind people that the DOD has stripped David Grush of his clearances and won't allow him to get into a skip.
This is one of the things that I talked to this guy, Brian Benner, who appears in the movie Politico, and he goes, if Congress finds out about it, one thing we know on the Hill is that you're going to find out about it.
They can't keep a secret.
It's going to leak.
So they've been doing everything they can, I imagine it's the DOD, to prevent Grush from going into a skip with members of Congress to release and reveal The classified details necessary to verify his claims, okay?
joe rogan
If you've been keeping this under wraps for 60 plus years or whatever they've been doing, would you really tell AOC? Would you really pull her aside and tell her?
james fox
Well, I mean, any members of Congress with the proper clearances and feel like they want to have that information, I mean, you've got...
joe rogan
Nothing's wrong with her.
I'm not even saying her.
I'm just saying, pick a young one.
You're going to give them all that information?
james fox
Exactly.
They don't want them to have that information.
There's no question about it.
joe rogan
That's what I would imagine.
That's probably why they won't let Grush get into a skimp.
james fox
So here's another thing I'd like to mention is that David Grush claims that he gave even a street address to the ICIG, which is Thomas Monheim.
That's the Intelligence Community Inspector General.
So I'm asking members of Congress to support all their efforts.
You know, Burchett, who's been amazing, regardless of what your politics, the guy's a phenomenon.
He's been really pushing for transparency.
He's a super solid guy.
You got Mace.
You got Moskowski from Florida.
Garcia from California, AOC, New York, Luna, and then of course you got the Senate side, you got Rubio, who totally knows where this stuff is, Rounds, Schumer, and if you look at the NDAA, you can see the language in plain sight.
I mean, it's phenomenal what's going on, and I I think that our elected officials that are really pushing for transparency need to hear from us, need to hear from the citizens and know that we support their efforts and that we have their backs and continuing to push for transparency, to push to find out what the hell is going on.
I mean, imagine if it's true.
Imagine if we have spaceships and we have biologics, bodies, okay?
That is not just...
Implications for the United States, that's global implications.
I mean, the impacts, the ripple effect that would have around the world for that confirmation to happen.
joe rogan
No doubt.
james fox
It would be huge.
joe rogan
Well, the human race deserves to know.
It shouldn't be unelected officials and Defense Department people that know about this stuff.
That's crazy.
I totally agree.
unidentified
Unless...
joe rogan
Unless...
This is what I had a conversation with Ryan Graves yesterday.
The way I would argue it, if I was a military person, I would say this is a national security interest.
And we are trying to back-engineer this stuff.
We're not successful.
If China steals our data, if Russia can back-engineer one, if Iran gets one before us, we're fucked.
Because these things are insanely sophisticated.
james fox
We would obviously weaponize the technology.
That's obvious.
unidentified
Of course.
joe rogan
Yeah, duh.
james fox
It's like 101, right?
joe rogan
Yeah, why would we not?
james fox
The basics.
I mean, if you could put a nuke on one of those things, I mean, the exhibited technology that people say, people that have witnessed this stuff say it goes from a standstill to out of sight in the blink of an eye.
I mean, these objects, what was it?
David Fravor said it went from space...
joe rogan
50,000 feet above sea level to 50...
james fox
To sea level...
joe rogan
In one second.
james fox
In one second.
joe rogan
Yeah.
unidentified
That's...
james fox
It's insane.
joe rogan
We talked about it yesterday.
Oh, you did?
unidentified
Yeah.
joe rogan
Insane amount of speed.
And the way Ryan explained it in terms of like the amount of force you would need is equivalent to how many nuclear bombs did he say?
Something insane, like the entire nuclear arsenal has to be done to generate that kind of power.
Whatever it is, if these stories are true, it's doing something that we don't understand.
So if it's ours, I kind of get why they wouldn't want to spill the beans.
My thought once was, what if this is not weaponizable with our current technology?
What if these things are our drones, but they don't know how to put a weapon on it yet?
Because whatever you do, it moves at a speed.
james fox
I have a problem with that theory, and the problem I have is that the United States government has documented close encounters of a third kind.
That's beings connected.
That's their own files, right?
That's not me saying it.
So it's not just these objects exhibiting revolutionary technology for at least 80 years, right?
No wings, no tail, no visible means of propulsion, the ability to hover, accelerate, out of sight in the blink of an eye, right angle turns at high speed, no wake, no sonic boom.
Yeah.
That kind of stuff.
But you also have reports, credible reports of beings connected to some of the craft.
And that's documented all around the world.
So that eliminates, right?
joe rogan
If it's true.
Well, yeah.
The whole thing, like, just because something's written down somewhere doesn't mean that someone didn't write it down as a psyop, someone didn't write it down to discredit other people with a ridiculous story.
One way to discredit a credible story is to attach it to a bunch of ridiculous stories.
unidentified
Right?
joe rogan
So if I was going to hide some sort of technology, one thing I would do is connect it to a bunch of kooky stuff, a bunch of psychic stuff and remote viewing, just a bunch of things that people very easily dismiss.
UFO abductions, UFO encounters, encounters with an actual being.
But put a bunch of stuff in there that makes people go, what?
Is this real?
And just enough.
Just enough so that you can hide the real stuff in there.
james fox
Well, I think...
joe rogan
And again, I'm playing devil's advocate.
james fox
That's all I'm doing.
And again, I've said this earlier in the show, and I'll say it again, is like, the reason why I believe David Grush, who testified, not just because he testified...
joe rogan
Oh, I believe David, but David doesn't have first-hand experience that he's talked about.
james fox
I know, but the reason why I believe him is because it aligns with my research in the field.
Remember, I spent over 12 years investigating on and off with my buddy Marco Leal in Virginia, Brazil, That UFO crash case and only found out last minute, the last time I was there, that the Americans were involved.
So I was like, oh my God, the rumors are true.
You know, the Americans really are.
Do you see, like, I obviously looked into Roswell for years.
I went to Roswell, the 50th anniversary.
joe rogan
This is how the deal works, bro.
You want the aid?
We get the UFOs.
We give you the aid, but if a crash UFO, you fucking call us.
Stay out of there.
Don't be carrying that dude to the hospital.
Leave it to us, and then we'll just scoop that up and shut the fuck up.
What do you think about that?
One of the craziest stories is that there's a building somewhere that's an enormous building that was actually built around the UFO because the UFO was too big to move.
Have you heard this story?
james fox
It was reported on News Nation with Ross Colhart.
It's got to be real.
Well, Ross Caldhart is a credible...
joe rogan
He seems legit.
He's got an accent.
james fox
He's got a great accent.
joe rogan
He's got an Australian accent.
james fox
Not quite British.
joe rogan
We believe you if you have an accent.
unidentified
But it's close.
joe rogan
You're more credible than a New York accent.
james fox
There's something about a British accent that just adds credibility to anything.
joe rogan
There's some guy from New York.
So, we got this fucking car.
james fox
Sorry, mate.
joe rogan
This thing is absolutely huge.
This spaceship's so fucking big, we need to build a building around it.
james fox
But they talked about it.
Now, here's...
joe rogan
What is this building?
And where is it supposed to be?
james fox
I don't know.
joe rogan
Oh, you're holding him back?
james fox
No, no, I really don't know.
joe rogan
You haven't investigated this?
james fox
Nope.
Oh, I have a little bit, but I don't have the same connections on that.
But I'll tell you a case that I do think needs to get looked into.
joe rogan
Oh, you're going to move us around away from this?
unidentified
Yeah, yeah, yeah.
joe rogan
You're going to move us away from this?
james fox
No, but this is a craft, a recovery craft.
joe rogan
He's a big government agent, this guy.
james fox
So there's a memo in the program.
That was through the Dobster process was released.
Unfortunately, some of the names are redacted.
Christopher Mellon obtained it.
It was from a correspondence he had with a high-level government official back in 2020. It just got approved for release, I don't know, maybe a year ago.
It's featured in the doc.
And in it, it has the names of not just the gatekeeper, but other names who found the gatekeeper to the crash retrieval program.
I'm told that unredacted versions of that have been handed to select members of Congress and people that are investigated in an official capacity for the government.
But in it, they specifically mention a case, not crash, a landed case that happened in 1953 at Cayman, Arizona.
So I've made some inquiries with aerospace folks that I've been meeting with quietly, and I'm like, what's this case that you guys keep talking about with the King in Arizona?
They're like, oh, it was like they just landed and left.
I was like, well, how do you know they landed?
What do you mean landed and left?
And they're like, well, the doors are open and nobody home, and they walked off.
I said, you mean somebody just flew this thing down, it landed on the ground in the desert, and came in Arizona in 1953, and they left the doors open and left, and they were like, yep, that's pretty much what happened.
joe rogan
So they left the craft there?
james fox
Somebody just, they flew it down and left a craft on the ground.
I was told that, and I wouldn't be repeating this if I didn't think there was some serious credibility to it, but apparently it was...
joe rogan
Well, doesn't that align with how Diana Pasolka and Gary Nolan have started describing these things as donations?
james fox
The individual that I talked to was so funny because this individual was like, not a scratch!
And I'd go, not a scratch?
What?
Not a scratch?
Not a scratch on the...
No, it was perfect!
Didn't have a scratch!
I was like, oh my gosh.
This sounds like somebody who's more than just heard about this, but one of the aspects of it didn't have a scratch on it.
So I think that's a case that I think that people should definitely be looking into.
joe rogan
So the first-hand witness said it didn't have a scratch?
james fox
I don't know if it was the way they described it.
joe rogan
This is the problem.
This is the problem I have with all this stuff.
james fox
But here's the thing.
joe rogan
If you were Travis Walton...
james fox
Yes.
joe rogan
Okay.
james fox
Love that guy.
joe rogan
I love that guy, too.
james fox
Fascinating story.
joe rogan
I really enjoy...
We got a bobblehead.
That's a Travis Walton bobblehead.
james fox
Oh, no way.
joe rogan
Yes way.
I got it from Travis.
That's him staring at this guy.
james fox
Oh my gosh.
joe rogan
When he was a young man.
james fox
I went to the location.
That's a remote spot.
joe rogan
I'm interested in that because that's a first-hand witness.
unidentified
Yes.
joe rogan
That's a guy.
He's explaining his bizarre experience.
He's told the same story.
james fox
No question.
joe rogan
For whatever, 50, 60 years.
Whatever the hell it's been.
1975. Whatever it was since he got abducted.
Almost 50 years.
So this guy was there.
That was his story.
I'm interested in that.
When I hear a guy told a guy that this is what happened and this is how he described it, I'm like, mm.
james fox
Super frustrating.
joe rogan
So, talking to Jay Sands.
james fox
Yes, first-hander.
joe rogan
Again, first-hand was like, what the fuck are you saying?
james fox
Yeah, face-to-face, yes.
joe rogan
Tell me what it was doing.
What did it look like?
james fox
Yeah.
joe rogan
He thought it was an adolescent, too.
He didn't think that it was a full-grown one.
He thought it was young.
james fox
Well, he's got an illustration of it in the documentary, and I tell you, it's one of the crazy...
I remember after him...
joe rogan
Can you imagine?
james fox
I know.
I was like, if this is true?
I was like, this is crazy.
joe rogan
Can you imagine being that person?
james fox
This is something that we didn't reveal in the documentary.
It was really funny.
He thought that this individual was suffering from frostbite or...
What's that when you get really cold?
joe rogan
Hypothermia.
james fox
Hypothermia.
joe rogan
Yeah.
james fox
Skin had a blue tint to it.
So he took his jacket off, and he very insistently put the jacket on this individual, because he was thinking, this person's really, really cold.
He's been out in the desert, probably had a plane crash or whatever.
And so he's putting his jacket, and the person was kind of resistant, but Jason said, I insisted.
I took one layer of my jacket, and I put around this individual, and that individual left with the jacket on.
So I jokingly say, where do you think your jacket is now?
unidentified
He's probably out there to help Zatari or God only knows.
james fox
Or right here.
joe rogan
This is the thing that gets me.
Or right here.
Logistically.
james fox
Yes.
joe rogan
Okay, if these things are coming from the ocean, just logistically, you'd have to have a large ship.
So we were talking about this with Ryan yesterday.
And I was saying, if they had a battleship, we'd be able to see that, right?
Like 100%.
He said, so it would have to be a submarine.
So I'm like, Jesus Christ, what if there really is some sort of a civilization underwater that has coexisted with us forever?
james fox
Did you hear about the testimony by Rear Admiral Tim Gallaudet just recently in Congress?
joe rogan
Is this the one where the thing's moving underwater at 500 knots?
james fox
Yes.
He's reporting.
joe rogan
Explain to people what he said.
james fox
I don't have all that you can look it up.
joe rogan
Just what you can remember.
james fox
That are exhibiting a technology underwater that defies any convectional explanation.
Things that are just virtually impossible.
Like, so much faster than the fastest submarine or anything like that.
And they're really big.
joe rogan
Yeah, it's moving as if there's no resistance underwater.
So moving like a fighter jet would in the air, it's moving like that underwater.
james fox
Yeah, they call it transmedium or something.
But confirmation, I mean, that's...
And I actually spoke to Rear Admiral Tim Gallaudet on a couple of occasions recently.
And I thanked him for coming forward and testifying.
And he said, you know, I felt an obligation to do so because a lot of my men, the pilots, were coming forward and I wanted to back them up.
And so that's why he stepped forward and testified.
joe rogan
Well, if you're coming here from somewhere else and you wanted to hide in plain sight, you would hide in the ocean, especially if you have the technology to completely negate any of the effects of the water and the pressure.
james fox
At least explore this place on Earth.
joe rogan
Yeah, we can't get to it.
We don't have the technology to get.
They know we don't.
They know it's really hard to get a submarine out to wherever the fuck they would be.
unidentified
What's his name?
james fox
Went to the bottom of the Mariana Trench.
joe rogan
Cameron.
james fox
Cameron by himself.
A wild boy.
I would never do that.
unidentified
He's a wild boy.
james fox
Isn't that like 35,000 feet down?
unidentified
How far is it?
joe rogan
It's something bizarre like that.
I mean, that's those poor folks.
james fox
Would you go down in a submarine by yourself?
joe rogan
No.
Definitely not a homemade one like the one those people died in.
Yeah, but that was there's another thing about that case when the people went down that submarine apparently I Guess it's the Navy has some sort of very sophisticated underwater audio sensors And they heard the implosion and they knew about it like immediately and didn't report on it Well, I mean I think the problem with reporting on is that you have to report on your technology now So I don't even know if this has been confirmed, but this is what I had heard and Methods and means?
Well, it's also, it's got to be top secret.
It's got to be one of those things where if you're going to reveal that you heard that, you have to have clearance to do it.
You probably have to run it up the ladder.
james fox
One of the reasons why we know about overhead satellite imagery of UAP is because of Ratcliffe, who was former head of ODNI. And he came forward.
And I remember it's funny, actually, because it was classified.
And Christopher Mellon participated in this latest production with me because of Ratcliffe revealing it on Fox News.
And Ratcliffe basically says, yeah, we have overhead collection satellite data of UAP that are pretty fucking far out.
Yeah, that happens.
So they're talking about this.
But getting back to your point, because I know you said you were frustrated.
You're like, oh yeah, it's just another anecdotal piece of evidence, a piece of testimony, third party, not firsthand.
joe rogan
I'm not saying I'm frustrated.
james fox
No, no, no.
What I'm saying is I totally agree with you.
I'm frustrated.
As somebody who's been chasing this story for 30 years, I too want access to the better, more compelling data.
That's why I chased after that photograph I just shared with you earlier on for as long as I did, because I hear about something and I go after it.
But I want to remind your audience, You can't go after something without knowing that it exists.
So you get the leads.
We're learning more about the programs.
We're learning how these programs are hidden.
These WUSAPs, they're waived, unacknowledged, special access programs, probably hidden somewhere in the DO. I know, it sounds crazy.
But at least giving some guidance to where are these things and how these things are hidden, where they might be found.
We reveal there's a gentleman in the film called Navy X. And people are like, ah!
It's another person testifying anonymously.
Well, yes, true.
But he gives us specifics on telling members of Congress where to look, to find specifics.
JWICS, what is it?
And this is where to find the more compelling data.
I'm going to read this because it's important that people know that.
He's saying, look, I've seen it, and this is where it is.
It's called, the official UAP data is kept either in CIPR, Secret Internet Protocol Router Network, or JWICS, Joint Worldwide Intelligence Communication System, that's used by the DoD and only available in a SCIF. And a SCIF is a sensitive compartmented information facility.
So...
Is it frustrating to hear that?
And people criticize, oh, it's just another person.
But he's saying, I've seen it.
It's phenomenal.
He gives descriptions of some of the stuff he saw.
And he's telling members of Congress, if you have the clearances, this is where it's being kept.
So those are very good specifics.
And again, I remind you guys, like, okay, just be patient.
This is not a hundred-yard dash.
We're running a marathon right now.
An ultramarathon.
We are.
joe rogan
I want to get back to what I was talking about earlier.
Logistically, if you're letting something go from the ocean, if you're flying it out of the ocean, logistically, you would have to have some sort of a large craft out there that's going to house these things, or it's going to launch from.
If it is actually coming from the ocean.
james fox
Oh, you see, the drones you're talking about right now.
joe rogan
Right.
james fox
Yes.
joe rogan
So, either they're ours...
And if there are hours, how do they hide the fact that there's a battleship out there?
Is that possible?
And if it's from a submarine, how do they develop a submarine that can launch 50 car-sized or SUV-sized drones from?
james fox
Yeah, that's one of the things that Christopher Mellon said to me this morning.
He goes, that's just, that's the one element or aspect that really is a head-scratcher.
Because 50 of these things coming in off the ocean, that's just confirmed.
joe rogan
Right, right.
james fox
No one's denying that.
joe rogan
But here's the question.
james fox
Yes.
joe rogan
Is it possible to classify the location of a U.S. battleship that's capable of having these things?
james fox
So big.
joe rogan
How could you like...
How big would it have to be to launch 50 drones?
james fox
God, you're talking, I don't know, man, but that's a lot of drones, especially the size they're reporting.
They're talking about drones the size of an SUV. Right.
joe rogan
So let's imagine, so when you take a ferry, how many cars can a ferry fit on it?
james fox
I take a ferry all the time in Vermont.
joe rogan
Like a big one, like a legit one, like a European 50 cars?
james fox
I put, well, the one that's medium legit, I put...
25, 30, maybe 40, 25 to 40. Yeah.
More than you think.
joe rogan
Couldn't you do that with drones?
And couldn't you have something that's a little larger than the average ferry?
So you wouldn't need a battleship.
james fox
Why would they do that?
Why would they do that in residential areas?
Why would they have everybody scratching their heads?
All these press conferences.
You're talking about the head of the gang of eight, right?
unidentified
Okay.
joe rogan
But if they need to patrol those guys, if they are really looking for a nuke, okay?
Let's imagine that this story about, you know, a Ukrainian nuke from the time when they disarmed them, there's one that's unaccounted for.
This is one of those stories that's been on the internet.
I don't know if it's true.
That it's unaccounted for and that they think it's headed to the United States.
If you were trying to find that thing, Like a dirty bomb?
Yeah, or like just a regular nuke, that if you're looking for gamma rays, you could devise a drone that could search for that, and you'd fly it over an area, and you wouldn't care whether people freaked out, because it's more important to find this goddamn thing.
So if you have this technology, it's some skunkworks technology.
james fox
You can't do it from space?
joe rogan
No, I don't think so.
I think you have to be there.
james fox
Certain proximity within...
joe rogan
I think...
james fox
To pick up whatever...
Did you bring this up with Ryan Graves?
joe rogan
Yes.
james fox
What did he say?
joe rogan
I mean, he doesn't know either.
james fox
He doesn't know.
joe rogan
He doesn't think so.
james fox
Everybody that I trust...
joe rogan
He doesn't think that's the issue.
james fox
People in the FBI, people that I communicate with often, I'm like, what is going on?
joe rogan
It almost seems too sexy that the United States has that kind of ability and they're just flying these things around and that they're doing it for that specific reason, to find a nuke.
It's like that we have this kind of technology that none of us are aware of.
That we have these drones that can shut off when you come close to them.
The lights shut off.
They disappear.
They avoid tracking the RF signal.
It doesn't show up.
They're cool.
They have some sort of cooling mechanism in them, so it's difficult to see with infrared.
I don't understand any of that.
He was saying that's above what we can do right now.
But they're not moving in a way necessarily.
That's not possible with drone technology that is mainstream.
But there's some aspects of the way they move and what they're doing that doesn't lead them to believe that this is current state-of-the-art technology as far as we know it.
james fox
Yeah, even I had some people tell me, like, even if it's conventional, it's highly advanced conventional.
joe rogan
Right, but let's look at China.
China has highly advanced drones.
We were talking about this as well, that the bottleneck in America was the FAA. The FAA put a lot of restrictions on the manufacture of drones and how you can do them, what you can do.
China doesn't have any of that, so they're full steam ahead with innovation.
If you look at what...
Drone manufacturers in the United States have been able to do and then imagine untethered if they weren't fucked over by all these regulations that got in the way of innovation.
Obviously you have to have one because if you have some commercial drone that someone can buy that can move 500 miles an hour and fly through the air and stay up there for six hours at a time and film video of everything and anything, Well, and you can't control it.
You can't block the radar screen.
You can't find it with infrared.
That's pretty nuts.
So I would imagine that would not be a thing they would want in the hands of the average American person.
james fox
But why did it just start happening fairly recently?
When I say this...
joe rogan
Well, I'm saying if it's Chinese.
If it's Chinese.
If they're unburdened by our regulations, and not only do they have the help of the government, they have financing behind them.
They have an imperative.
They're told what to do.
james fox
But they're flying it over Langley, they're flying it over...
joe rogan
Wouldn't you do that?
Just to fuck with these people?
james fox
What's the golf course that Trump has?
joe rogan
Yeah, his golf course, yeah.
james fox
What's that called?
joe rogan
I don't know.
james fox
Westminster?
Yeah, something like Bedminster.
They're flying over that?
joe rogan
Yeah.
james fox
The president-elect?
joe rogan
Langley Air Force Base did experience incursions of unauthorized, unmanned aerial systems in last year, December 2023, says Sabrina Singh, Pentagon spokeswoman.
The number of those UAS incursions did fluctuate, but they didn't appear to exhibit any hostile intent.
It's something that we have kept our eye on.
Well, thank God you're keeping your eye on it.
james fox
Yeah, and we have no idea what they are, but they're fine.
Nothing to worry about.
jamie vernon
Brian told us yesterday this has been happening.
This is the third year in a row this has been happening right around Christmas time.
james fox
Well, one of the reasons...
One of the reasons why I wanted you guys to hear that account by the guy at Vandenberg Air Force Base, this is not anonymous reporting.
The guy's giving his name, and he's talking about objects that are the size of a football field, hovering over a silo, launch control area.
joe rogan
That's also the Phoenix Lights.
They describe them as the size of a football field or larger.
james fox
Oh, yeah.
I interviewed a guy.
There was a case that happened right here in Texas, Stephenville.
Ricky Sorrell is one of the best witnesses.
I love the guy.
He was a hunter.
And he's like, he's like, James, he's like, you could have landed an airplane on this.
I said, you've got to be kidding me.
He goes, no, man.
He goes, I stood under this thing.
He goes, it was so big.
I was standing under it and he had his rifle and he's standing under it and he's looking up and he's looking to the left.
He's looking to the left, right, back, forward.
Can't see the edge of it in any direction.
So he grabs his hunting rifle because he was, he was hunting deer.
This is 2008. He grabs his honey rifle.
joe rogan
Please don't tell me he shot it.
james fox
No, well, so he holds his rifle up, and he's looking through the scope, and he goes, Jan, I'm a metal worker.
I work with metal.
I know what metal looks like.
And he's looking through the scope, and he goes, man, there's no rivets.
There's no seams.
There's no weld marks.
He's like, there were these, on the belly of it, there were these reverse, like, recessed cones.
It's, like, bigger, and then they got smaller as it went up into the belly of the craft.
He's looking up at it and his finger's on the trigger and he's like, man, I wonder if it wasn't that hard.
I go, I wonder what would happen if I just pulled the trigger here and I bet it would ricochet off or hit the belly or something.
So he's looking at it and he's just about to pull the trigger to check it out and he goes, hmm, maybe this isn't such a good idea.
I interviewed him in 2008 when this was going down, and then about a year later, I was doing some follow-up interviews for a film I did, I Know What I Saw, and I had this gentleman walk up to me, and I was filming in the downtown square in Stephenville, or it might have been Dublin, and...
This gentleman looks at me and he goes, you Mr. Fox?
And I was like, yes.
And he pulls out a badge and he shows me his badge.
And he's like, can I talk to you for a minute?
I'm officer of so-and-so.
And I was like, Jesus Christ, what the hell did I do?
And I said, yeah, sure.
And we walk off to a cafe and he goes...
He's looking at his back.
He had his back to the wall in the cafe so he could see everybody coming in.
He was really paranoid.
And he said, you know Ricky Sorrells?
I said, yeah.
He goes, that guy's telling the truth.
I said, how do you know?
He goes, because the whole police department saw it.
I can't remember if it was Dublin Police Department or Stephenville.
I think it was Dublin Police Department.
He goes, yeah, man, we...
He said, we...
We were sitting in our patrol cars and this object was like a floating department storm.
It was absolutely colossal like a city.
Took out my radar gun, pointed at it, and it was doing 22 miles an hour.
And then he said it drifted off and one of the officers, I don't remember the name of the gentleman, took his dash cam and he flipped it up and he filmed it.
And apparently one of the biggest mistakes this individual made, this police officer made, was that he didn't make a copy of it because the local Air Force base requested that film footage and got it.
And so I've been telling people to go after that stuff exists.
But my point is, this object was so big, people claimed that witnesses, the first-hand witnesses, that you had landed an airplane on it.
I mean, what is that?
joe rogan
What happens if you see that?
That's the thing.
Like, if you see that, do you even tell people?
You sound like a kook.
Like, if I saw it, if I was outside in the desert, and I was just chilling, and something so big that I couldn't see the edges of it flew overhead, I don't know what I'd say.
james fox
He said when it took off, It was like this.
He goes, It went from this, a complete standstill, and it went straight up, like at a slight angle, but straight up and gone.
He goes, James, I said, describe the acceleration.
He goes, hell, I'll tell you, the best way I can describe it is that had I blinked, I would have missed it.
That's how fast it took off.
So it went from here, like that.
He had helicopters hovering over his—I know this sounds crazy, but people are going to be like, oh, this big—but he had helicopters flying over his property for a while, right around the time that I was trying to get him to go on camera.
He came out in his underwear and his shotgun late at night with his helicopter spotlighting him up, and he ended up calling the local Air Force base and said, stop flying over my house at night.
And they said, we suggest you stop talking about what you saw.
And so he was kind of spooked.
And about eight months later, he finally decided that he was going to go public with the story.
But everything to lose, nothing to gain.
You get this countless reports of these cases.
And they're around the world, right?
It's not just the United States.
I've demonstrated that time and time again.
joe rogan
But there's more of them in the United States than anywhere else, right?
james fox
Well, I mean, one of my favorite cases is Rua, Zimbabwe.
That's an amazing case.
unidentified
Right, right, right.
joe rogan
But there's more sightings in the United States than anywhere else, right?
james fox
There seems to be an attraction almost like a moth to a flame with nukes.
Somehow they're interested in our nuclear capabilities.
And I remember interviewing Robert Salas, who was a launch control officer, who described this whole event at Malmstrom Air Force Base in the 60s.
Where these UFOs were witnessed on the base, and then all their Minutemen missiles started getting shut down.
And I remember saying to him, like, well, what's your take on that?
Like, what kind of, you know, and he goes, and I realized why this individual was a launch control officer, because he was so measured and so calm and so cool.
And he goes, well, James, the message I got was kind of clear.
It's almost like taking matches out of the hands of a baby.
unidentified
About the nukes.
joe rogan
Yeah.
james fox
So, you know, with the phenomenon, you look at what they do, right?
And that says some things.
They've done some pretty brazen events, right?
Over the decades.
But you also look at what they don't do.
Because if the phenomenon wanted to end this, like, you know, secrecy once and for all, all they'd have to do is hover over the Macy's Day Parade or the next big Super Bowl and it's game over.
They don't do that.
They've done some pretty brazen things, right?
I mean, case in point, March 13th, 97, over the state of Arizona, including the governor, Fife Simon, witnessed that massive—there were a number of UFOs witnessed, but the main one, you know, was this big boomerang-shaped craft.
And even the governor said it must have been at least a mile across from wingtip to wingtip that floated.
And I actually interviewed people that worked at Luke Air Force Base at the time, and they said that they scrambled jets to intercept this thing.
And I interviewed a number of people that saw that craft.
I mean, that stood on their, that light down on their lawns and watched it float over the top of them.
And apparently, according to this individual that I met in the late 90s at Luke Air Force Base, they scrambled a military jet to intercept this thing.
He came up on it, could have landed on the damn thing.
It was so big.
And it went from moving very, very slowly to accelerating like warp drive.
Boom, just gone.
When the jet came back to the base, Luke Air Force Base, they had to carry him out of the plane, I'm told, because he was so shaken by what he saw.
joe rogan
Yeah, I can imagine you wouldn't handle that well.
james fox
Can you imagine having to keep that secret?
joe rogan
No.
james fox
Can you imagine taking the alternate— Well, the governor had to lie, right?
joe rogan
The governor had to stand up with a guy in a— Dressed in an alien suit.
Yeah, an alien costume.
james fox
Yeah, I hammered him on that one.
joe rogan
Well, then afterwards, once he left office, then he talked about it.
james fox
Yes.
joe rogan
And he talked about seeing it.
james fox
Yes.
Yeah, yeah.
joe rogan
I wonder why he had to do that, though.
james fox
I got...
Oh, well, so I interviewed him.
I was the one that got him to break his silence after 10 years.
And he told me, and I don't necessarily know that I fully believe it...
But he told – because initially when it happened in March – remember, the vast majority of people were out under the night sky to get a glimpse of the Hellbomb comet.
So it was witnessed all the way across the state of Arizona and even in Nevada, southern Nevada.
And yeah, there he is.
Fife told me that it was growing hysteria.
But initially he had set out – And he said, we're going to find out.
I'm contacting Luke Air Force Base, reached out to the Pentagon, and all these various services, and we're going to get to the bottom of it.
And then, I don't know how much longer it was.
Was it later that day, or was it the next day?
He held an unscheduled press conference, and that's when he had his aides dressed up in an alien suit and made a mockery of it all.
And I can assure you, pissed the hell off his constituents and the witnesses all across the state of Arizona.
They were furious.
And...
I confronted him on that 10 years after the fact, because I was pissed off.
I was investigating that case when it happened in the 90s.
And I interviewed a lot of really good witnesses, really good witnesses.
And he said the reason why he did it was because of growing hysteria, that he wanted to calm down the hysteria.
But did he get a phone call just saying, hey, kill this story?
unidentified
No.
james fox
I lean in that direction, but even when we're having cocktails together, he's never confessed that that happened.
But it's awfully suspicious the way it all went down.
joe rogan
It's a little weird, especially considering he actually saw it.
james fox
That could have been a turning point in the UFO phenomenon reporting era, right?
Like suddenly you get this massive sighting, which would happen today.
today, we would have been covered by everybody's phones and whatever.
But if the governor had come forward and said, yeah, we need to figure out what that thing is.
I'm a former captain in the Air Force.
I'm a pilot.
And I saw it.
I don't know what the hell that thing was.
joe rogan
Is there any footage of the actual thing, the triangle boomerang?
james fox
There's some footage floating around.
And I featured some, and I know what I saw.
You got an object in the night sky with lights that...
At the time, in 2009, I did some kind of enhancement.
I'm sure the software is a lot better nowadays.
It looks like a big...
I can draw it.
joe rogan
Like a boomerang?
james fox
Yeah, but more angular.
It was like this.
Like this.
And my drawings are terrible.
joe rogan
Like that?
Look up at the screen?
james fox
Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, kind of like that, yeah.
unidentified
Mm-hmm.
james fox
Yep.
joe rogan
And so that image in the far left, that's...
But that's the...
james fox
Yeah, and there was...
joe rogan
That's it right there, right?
james fox
Yeah, and here's something that kind of throws off the trail here, because...
unidentified
Look at that.
james fox
Excuse me.
The object came down of the state of Arizona.
It went from north to south.
joe rogan
Is that legit?
james fox
On the right there?
joe rogan
Yeah.
james fox
I... Honestly, I can't say...
I'd have to really do a deep dive into it, but let me tell you what happened, because this is brilliant.
So what happened was, you got this massive object from around 5.30 at night in the southern Nevada, and then it drifts down very slowly from north to south across the entire state of Arizona, and right around 7.30, 8, 8.30, the Berry-Goldwater mountain range, which is the direction it was heading in, the military decides to drop a bunch of flares.
And so people were like, oh, there it is!
And a bunch of people filmed the flares.
So in my opinion, it was a diversionary tactic that was brilliantly done, because why the military suddenly decided to drop flares in the shape of, somewhat of the shape.
So I think that some of the footage that you've seen out there is military flares, but there's And there was an effort, I don't know if you want to get into it right now, but there was an effort by the so-called MIB, these men in black, or whatever unknown government agency they come from, that took some footage that I was learning about.
During my investigations in the 90s and then you're looking at me like I'm crazy.
So the first time I really heard a really credible report of the MIB and I decided not to report on it was when I was in touch with a woman who was councilwoman, Frances Barwood, who was one of the few officials in Phoenix area that was saying, hey, let's investigate what these people are claiming to have seen.
She's not saying aliens have landed.
All she's saying is, hey, these people have a right to know what's going on.
Let's launch an investigation.
She was lambasted over the media, made fun of, ridiculed.
But as a result of her inquiry, public inquiry, and putting it out there, one of these individuals reached out to her.
And I know this because I know her, Francis Barber, and I heard the whole story.
And he was a...
He was a Vietnam vet, and he was on the roof of his house with a tripod and a camera, and he was trying to get a glimpse.
He was trying to film the pale bob comet.
And he had walkie-talkies, and he was monitoring the truck drivers driving up Interstate 10 from Tucson to Phoenix.
And so he's monitoring this, and he hears these truckers talking about a massive UFO, and he's like, shit, that's heading right towards my house.
He was like, I'll film it.
So he had a camera all ready to go, and the object went right over his house, according to him, and he filmed the whole thing.
And he goes, yeah, I filmed the whole thing.
It's pretty spectacular.
And I know that you're launching an investigation, Frances Barrawe.
Would you like to see it?
And she said, yeah.
So they made arrangements where he was going to drop it off at her office.
Either later that day or first thing the next morning, two representatives, and it was July at this point, and it was very hot, two men in dark suits showed up at his house, and they said, hey, um...
He was apparently relieved that's all he wanted.
He said they were quite menacing looking.
Didn't really say a lot.
They said, we're from Francis Barwood's office.
We're here to pick up that footage.
So he gives them the footage.
He said, the only question they ask him is, did they make any copies?
And he said, no.
And so they take the footage.
Off they go.
Well, he doesn't hear from Francis Barwood.
He's like, what the hell?
So a couple of days go by, I think possibly up to a week.
He calls her up and he says, and Francis will tell you this.
She'll validate what I'm telling you.
He says, hey, what'd you think of the footage?
She goes, well, what do you mean when I think of the footage?
I never got it.
You were going to drop it off at my office and you didn't show up.
He goes, well, I didn't have to.
You had two men from your office show up and pick it up.
She goes, I didn't send anybody around to your office.
And I know at the time, in the late 90s, I'd heard a couple of stories prior to that.
I thought, this is too out there.
This is too outlandish.
No one's going to believe this.
I have no proof of this other than her testimony.
Screw it.
And I didn't report on it.
But hearing those cases over and over and over, it's like, there we go.
Once again, the so-called evidence that could prove or disprove one way or the other that something truly extraordinary took place in the skies over Phoenix back in 1997 vanished.
But there is some that slip between the cracks that's out there.
You just have to do due diligence.
And I don't have the time to sip through all of it.
joe rogan
But those images that we're looking at, they look too clean.
Yeah.
james fox
Yeah, I don't know what's AI generated or whatever.
joe rogan
Or what could have been in a documentary, like a recreation.
james fox
I know what I saw features some of the footage.
I covered that case extensively.
So if anyone's interested in the Phoenix Lights case, that.
But I can tell you.
joe rogan
How many people saw it?
james fox
Oh, thousands.
Thousands.
I talked to another woman, Stacy Rhodes, and her daughter Emily, and they said they were driving on Interstate 10, and she goes, look, James, I'm going to tell you how big this thing was.
I said, how big?
She goes, first of all, there were people stopped on the freeway, just like stopped as this thing.
It was like close encounters floating over there.
She goes, I could have held up a newspaper like this and looked to the left, looked to the right, looked at that, and she said, I couldn't block this thing out.
That's how big it was, and it didn't make a sound.
It was gunmetal black.
It was witnessed by a lot of people.
That's why I say there's some events that have happened over the decades that are pretty brazen, and that's one of them.
Hudson Valley is pretty brazen as well.
joe rogan
I just wish I knew if it was true.
james fox
Well, when you get thousands of people seeing the same thing, if you see thousands of people saying the same thing, including the governor, the governor...
joe rogan
I know.
You get so invested in it, and you go, what happened?
james fox
The governor.
joe rogan
Yeah.
james fox
The governor.
joe rogan
Same guy who came out with a fucking guy dressed up like an alien.
james fox
Yeah, I know, but I got him to come clean ten years later.
joe rogan
Yeah, but so he's already not credible.
He already bullshits.
He does.
He bullshits.
He definitely bullshits.
james fox
He definitely bullshits.
unidentified
You're right.
joe rogan
So there you go.
So when someone bullshits about that, they might bullshit about anything.
james fox
Well, true, yeah, but I mean...
joe rogan
Again, I'm just playing devil's advocate.
james fox
No, I hear you.
I hear what you're saying.
joe rogan
He hasn't been in a limelight a while.
It's a good thing to talk about now.
james fox
There's no smoke without fire.
There is so much evidence in terms of...
Eyewitness testimony and radar, some photographic, not as much as we'd like, that something truly inexplicable is taking place in our aerospace, right?
joe rogan
For sure.
james fox
Something that, after careful examination, something that, not because of a lack of data in some instances, but that after careful analysis and research, investigation, that comes out the other end and says...
I can't explain this as going to have to be one of those unknowns or, you know, falls into that 15% category of cannot provide a terrestrial or conventional explanation for.
And those are the cases that I've so desperately have been going after for a long time.
joe rogan
So is all this disclosure and those discussions on television now and all these meetings and hearings, so you think we're on an accelerated path?
Do you think this is all good, right?
james fox
I'm convinced of it, yes.
joe rogan
But do you think that there's a real possibility, like within the next few years, that they just completely drop all the bullshit and come clean about this stuff?
Or would it take some sort of extraordinary event where they had to admit it?
Something much bigger than this drone thing?
james fox
Well, in some respects, there has been...
I remember I interviewed this guy, Nick Pope, at the MOD years ago, and I was like, this is a time when we were pushing for transparency there.
France was releasing previously classified documents on UFOs, les ovnis, as they'd say.
The MOD followed suit.
They were releasing previously classified documents, slowly putting it out there.
And at the time, it was rather exciting.
I just did a big event at the National Press Club with Leslie Kane, and And it was like this whole movement.
It was like, oh my God, it's happening, right?
But it kind of petered out a little bit.
And I remember asking this guy that used to work the UFO desk at the MOD, Nick Pope, and I said, Nick, do you anticipate any type of disclosure?
This is like 2009 or something, 2008, 2009. And he goes, James, no.
He goes, it's going to be disclosure with a small d.
Not a big D. It's going to trickle out slowly.
Condition people, get people prepared, test the waters.
You know, one of the things that we explore in the program, and I've never done that, is the politics of disclosure.
It's a far more complex—let's just suspend judgment for a moment and assume that it's real, okay?
That there really is an NHI or non-human intelligence aspect to the phenomenon, right?
Let's just suggest that's real.
Now, how do you disclose that to the general public?
What about the impacts on organized religion?
What about the impacts on financial institutions?
What about the fact that we'd have to confess that we don't have full control over this?
I mean, those are real considerations.
And it's not just the United States, right?
This involves the planet.
This involves all the humanity.
joe rogan
I wanted to ask you about this.
james fox
Do you see what I'm saying?
It's more complicated, more complex than you think.
joe rogan
Oh, I totally get that.
How does Russia handle these things?
How does China handle these things?
james fox
Well, there was a case in China that happened in 1994, right around the time of Rua, Zimbabwe, also in 1994, called Mengziogua.
And it happened in the Black Mountains, and it was a landing, alleged contact, close to kind of the third kind.
It's funny because it happened right at the same time of Africa, similar message that was conveyed.
I went to China.
I met with an active general in uniform, talked openly about the UFO phenomenon.
They were pretty open.
I went to Russia in the late 90s.
And that was right before Putin.
It was right around the time when Putin was coming in.
And that was a period of openness.
And I went to Star City, Russia.
I interviewed a cosmonaut, Pavel Popovich, a number of generals.
And they were very open about it.
In fact, they said to me at the time, if you're here...
To discuss whether or not the UFO phenomenon is real, the door's right over there.
We're here to create an international coalition, an international exchange of information, and to talk about the implications of the phenomenon, which I thought was amazing.
This is like 25 years ago, right?
So now, I don't know if things have changed since Putin's been in office, but that was back in the late 90s.
I mean, they've been congressional hearings in Brazil.
There's been an effort.
I mean, shit, they had hearings back in 1978 at the United Nations that Lee Spiegel put on.
So there's been an ongoing effort for this stuff to come out.
I just think it's different this time.
To me, it feels like there's too much momentum behind it at this point.
And there's so much legislation that's written.
There's too much that's come out.
And it's too important.
Look, whether you believe it or you don't believe it, if you can just imagine for a moment if it is true and if the U.S. government does in fact have irrefutable evidence that we're not alone in the universe, that's so significant.
That we all have a right to that information and that we should continue to support this unprecedented push for transparency with our elected officials and get to the fucking bottom of it.
joe rogan
Why not?
Everybody agrees.
james fox
Right?
joe rogan
Yeah, I think everybody agrees.
I think the general public, no one's going to disagree with you about that.
james fox
Yeah, and the new administration's coming in.
There's Ratcliffe and Rubio.
I'm telling you, Rubio knows a lot.
I know that.
joe rogan
How do you know he knows?
james fox
Because I've talked to people that have debriefed him and have been in the room with him.
joe rogan
You haven't talked to him?
james fox
No, I have not.
No, I have not.
But I talked to people that were in the room when he was being briefed from first-handers.
I'm told that there were, I'm going to say right around 12 first-hand people that have had behind closed doors meetings.
First-hand people.
People that are concerned about their secrecy, concerned about their safety, concerned about the implications of them coming forward and going public, that they don't quite have, and this comes from a very good source of information, that the Witness Protection Program and the legislation that they've created around that is not quite there yet.
It's getting closer.
They need to continue to work on that.
joe rogan
You don't mean, like, witness protections program, like, put them in hiding.
james fox
Whistleblowers.
They have whistleblower protection.
I'm so sorry.
I meant to say that.
Excuse me.
Yeah.
Whistleblower protection is not quite in place.
One of the things I really wanted to mention is that there is a gentleman, a young man, who's 30 and he feels like he's old.
His name is Jesse Michaels, and he's got this new show called American Alchemy.
New.
It's a couple years old.
joe rogan
Why does he feel like he's old?
james fox
Because, you know, when you're 30, you feel like you're old.
joe rogan
Really?
james fox
Well, I did.
When I turned 30, I was like, oh, I'm 30, because just 10 years earlier, I was almost 19, right?
Or 11 years earlier, I was 19. Right.
You go from a teenager, suddenly you're 30, you always think like 30. And I was talking to him not too long ago, Jesse, and I said, he's like, yeah, I feel a little old.
I was like, dude, you are just getting into your prime, baby.
This is rock and roll time.
But I really wanted to, this is a guy who's young, Julian Doria is also doing some amazing work on this in podcasts, but he was young and is doing a deep dive into the implications and into...
He meets with aerospace engineers.
The guy's...
Jesse, you're a phenomenon.
Keep rocking and rolling.
I want to tip my hat to you.
I don't know if you've seen this guy or not.
joe rogan
No, I haven't.
james fox
He's doing deep dives into what's happening right now.
unidentified
Maybe I have.
james fox
He's documented it with these podcasts, and he's doing a fantastic job, and I just got to tip my hat to the guy because...
He's ten times smarter than I'll ever be and he's young and he's a force to be reckoned with and he's really doing he's answering all the questions that you and I are exploring all these issues that you and I are talking about.
joe rogan
Well, I'm glad there's people out there pushing it, and I'm glad there's guys like Grush that are sticking their neck out, and guys like you who are making documentaries about it.
The subject is much more open to discussion, like I was saying, amongst serious people, where it didn't used to be before.
And now I think with this drone thing, I think there's so many people that are going, okay, even if they're ours, or they're China's, what's going on?
Why are there so many of them?
What are the answers, and why can't you tell us?
Is it because they're searching for a nuke?
Jesus Christ, maybe you should warn people and get the fuck out of here.
Is that really what's going on?
Like, if it's not, what is going on?
And if it's not ours, what are they?
And how come you can't track them?
How come, like, what kind of...
james fox
Very bizarre.
joe rogan
It doesn't even make sense.
It's very, very bizarre.
It doesn't make sense.
When you think of the capabilities of the United States military, it doesn't make any sense.
They can't figure out what's going on.
I think...
What Trump said is probably correct, that the government knows, they know what's happening, and they don't want to tell people.
james fox
Why wouldn't he, though?
He could tell us.
Why wouldn't he tell us?
joe rogan
I don't think he knows yet.
Until he gets into office, he gave a speech about it at Mar-a-Lago.
james fox
I saw that.
I saw that.
But did he say...
joe rogan
Well, let's watch it.
We'll watch it.
We'll watch it.
james fox
Pull a speech up.
Yeah, because I'm wondering if he...
Yeah, well, we're about to find out.
joe rogan
Yeah, essentially, he was saying that he knows that the government knows what's going on, and they're not telling us.
That means they're not telling him.
james fox
So they're not telling him.
joe rogan
No, I don't think until you get into office, you're not the president, right?
So he's the president-elect.
I don't know what kind of...
james fox
Clearances that he has.
joe rogan
Yeah, I don't understand how that works.
james fox
I'd be very curious to know what he knows.
joe rogan
Right.
Especially with this, like, who do you even ask?
Like, who is the person that can lay out the information?
Like, which department?
Which agency?
james fox
Yeah, right.
It seems like they're so compartmentalized.
donald j trump
Thank you.
Good to see you.
Good to see you.
unidentified
Can you comment on the drones that are flying around New Jersey's reports?
james fox
It seems like the American people have a big distance.
donald j trump
The government knows what is happening.
Look, Our military knows where they took off from.
If it's a garage, they can go right into that garage.
They know where it came from and where it went.
And for some reason, they don't want to comment.
And I think they'd be better off saying what it is.
Our military knows and our president knows.
james fox
Our president knows.
donald j trump
And for some reason, they want to keep people in suspense.
I can't imagine it's the enemy, because if it was the enemy, they'd blast it out.
Even if they were late, they'd blast it out.
Something strange is going on for some reason they don't want to tell the people and they should because the people are really I mean they happen to be over Bedminster They're very close to Bedminster.
I think maybe I won't spend the weekend in Bedminster.
unidentified
I've decided to cancel my trip Yeah, I think I won't spend the weekend in Bedminster.
joe rogan
Yeah Wow I bet someone told him Mr. President it's pretty important that you don't go to the golf course.
Yeah God, that's so crazy.
So what does that mean?
james fox
I gotta...
If you don't mind...
I was contacted...
joe rogan
Are you gonna switch the objection?
james fox
No, no, no, no.
This is all about exactly what we're talking about.
This is something that I really need to put out there because it's very important.
And it's an unprecedented effort spearheaded by this woman, Andrea, who runs a number of communities on Reddit.
And she said that they're banding together for the first time ever...
It's the biggest grassroots campaign for government transparency.
This is happening on Friday the 20th of December at 3 p.m.
Eastern Time.
And this has the potential to reach millions and millions of people.
It's the most unprecedented event on Reddit in history.
And I'll post all of the necessary information on X because this is a very grassroots effort.
And what are they doing?
At James C. Fox on X, formerly known as Twitter.
The Reddit community is banding together for a huge grassroots campaign for government transparency.
So basically all the various platforms on Reddit, like Paranormal, UFO, they don't usually get along too well, but they're all combining their resources and they're getting together for the first time ever.
And to push for government transparency, there's a couple of government insiders that appear in my film that will be appearing on this to answer questions and what steps need to be happening, what's going on today, and this is happening on the 20th of December.
3 p.m., and I'll be posting more information, the very specific details on X at James C. Fox.
I just wanted to get that out there before because...
joe rogan
Well, the more this stuff that happens, the better.
The more people demand it, the better.
The more politicians hear from the people and want to...
I mean, especially politicians that are up for reelection, and they want to show that they're doing what the people want them to do.
Yeah, I'd like to know more, but obviously I'm very happy that we're hearing much more about the subject in a serious way.
unidentified
Yeah.
joe rogan
You know, whatever the hell's going on.
unidentified
Yeah.
james fox
Well, I really encourage you to watch the program.
joe rogan
I will, 100%.
james fox
I went bent over backwards to put together and explain everything in layman terms, what's happened from 2017 to today, because it's unprecedented.
We're living in an unprecedented moment in history.
There's an unprecedented push for government transparency.
And I want to continue supporting our elected officials' bipartisan effort to get to the bottom of this.
And I especially want to throw a shout out to Representative Burchette because you're killing it, buddy.
Thank you.
joe rogan
Hey, Jamie, why don't you use ChatGPT and ask ChatGPT what's going on with the drones in New Jersey?
james fox
That'd be very curious to hear about that.
joe rogan
Yeah.
james fox
That's a damn good idea.
joe rogan
And maybe then ask Rock.
But ask ChatGPT what is really happening with the drones in New Jersey?
Let's just see what ChatGPT says.
james fox
So tell me how that works.
joe rogan
I don't know.
We're going to find out.
james fox
It's AI, right?
joe rogan
And what is really happening with the drones in New Jersey?
Let's see.
So what does ChatGPT say?
Chad GPT is going to search the web.
james fox
Oh, this is amazing.
joe rogan
Numerous children have been reported across New Jersey and other East Coast.
Okay.
It's incredible how fast this is.
Look how fast.
Look at this.
This is incredible.
They found no evidence suggesting threat to national security or public safety.
Despite these assurances, some local officials and residents remain concerned.
For instance, Belleville Mayor Michael Melham...
Speculated the increased drone activity might be related to the search for missing radioactive material from the medical facility in New Jersey.
Additionally, the public figures like Bethany Frankel have shared unverified theories about the drone's purposes, further fueling speculation.
The situation is evolving and authorities continue to monitor and investigate new reports.
Residents are advised to report any suspicious drone activity to local law enforcement and avoid taking matters into their own hands like shooting them down.
People are shooting them down.
They're shooting them down!
They're eating the dogs!
They're eating the cats!
It's the same thing to shoot down drones as it could pose safety risks and violate laws.
Now ask ChatGPT...
Let's just keep going with ChatGPT for a little bit because you're asking it again.
Ask ChatGPT, if I live in New Jersey, should I get out of town?
unidentified
Are you serious?
joe rogan
Yeah, yeah.
If I live in New Jersey, should I get...
Out of town.
james fox
Should I evacuate?
joe rogan
Yeah, should I evacuate?
Let's say evacuate, because get out of town is like a colloquialism.
Should I evacuate?
Okay.
james fox
This is amazing.
joe rogan
At this time, there's no official recommendation for residents of New Jersey.
Uh-huh.
Follow official updates.
Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah.
Okay.
As a precautionary measure...
james fox
Are you sure?
joe rogan
I love that.
jamie vernon
Sometimes you always have to ask...
joe rogan
No federal evacuation orders.
Okay, it knows that there's no federal evacuation orders.
If you were going to give me advice, would you tell me to leave the East Coast?
Advice is fucked up.
unidentified
There we go.
joe rogan
Based on the current information provided by trusted authorities, there's no evidence of an imminent threat.
Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah.
Could you imagine?
Put this in.
Could you imagine a scenario where these drones are actually looking for a nuclear bomb?
And if so, would you advise me as a preemptive measure to evacuate?
I type so much worse when people are watching.
james fox
I'm so impressed at how well he's typing.
Actually, I really am.
joe rogan
While it's possible to imagine scenarios involving drones searching for dangerous materials such as a nuclear bomb, there's no verified information suggesting such an extreme situation.
Yeah, yeah, yeah.
How about this?
I think Tuck this in.
jamie vernon
If I put it in grok and fun mode, we might get it.
joe rogan
But hold on a second.
Try this.
james fox
Is there a non-human intelligence behind it?
joe rogan
Listen, I think the drones are looking for a nuclear bomb, and I am going to leave New Jersey.
Where should I go?
james fox
It's all Montana.
joe rogan
How far away should I go?
Oh, that's okay.
If you leave New Jersey as a precautionary measure, here are some suggestions for a place to relocate temporarily.
james fox
You're doing good.
joe rogan
Head west.
Okay, so now we're getting better.
So now it's saying go further away.
Colorado, consider...
Scroll back up so I can read that, where it said Colorado.
Consider Durango, Grand Junction, or areas outside of Denver.
These are safe and equipped with modern infrastructure.
They're telling you to move...
This is telling you to get away from big cities.
james fox
Durango.
joe rogan
Tennessee, the Smoky Mountain region, and Gatlinburg or Knoxville provides natural beauty, lower cost of living, and a sense of isolation.
They're telling you how to rebuild civilization.
Okay, if a nuke goes off...
james fox
Where to go?
joe rogan
If a nuke goes off on the East Coast, type this in, Jamie.
If a nuke goes off on the East Coast, where should I be to be safe?
unidentified
Oh my gosh.
joe rogan
If you're concerned about potential nuclear incident, here's a list of safest options based on geographic, environmental, and strategic factors.
Montana, Colorado, Wyoming, Idaho, sparsely populated, vast distances from major cities and military targets.
Towns like Bozeman, Jackson Hole, Sandpointe are beautiful remote and away from the fallout paths.
Jesus Christ.
james fox
I'm curious, what would happen if you asked, chat, GBT, is it?
GPT. GPT. If, what percentage of UAP represent a non-human intelligence?
joe rogan
Okay, that's a good one.
What percentage of UAP represent a non-human intelligence?
unidentified
Really curious.
jamie vernon
I was just pulling it from the internet.
joe rogan
I know, but let's see what it says.
unidentified
Yeah, but still...
joe rogan
Could represent non-human intelligence remains unknown and speculative.
Current investigations by UAP organizations like the U.S. government emphasize the following.
Most UAPs have conventional explanations.
Oh, this is Project Blue Book bullshit.
james fox
5 or 10 percent of UAP cases remain unidentified even after thorough analysis.
These cases, I was like 15 to 20, but yeah, 5 to 10 percent.
joe rogan
Evidencing consisted with known human technology.
No conclusive evidence for non-human intelligence while some UAP cases are puzzling.
The government has not officially...
Okay.
Type this in.
Commander David Fravor...
Encountered a tic-tac-shaped craft in 2005. What's 2004?
2003. 2003. That defied our understanding of known physics.
Period.
What do you think he saw?
unidentified
Wow.
In 2004, I'm sorry.
joe rogan
A tic-tac-shaped craft remains one of the most compelling and well-documented UAP cases in modern history.
Key details of the encounter.
Craft describes smooth, white, oblong, resembling a tic-tac, no visible propulsion, wings or exhausts, played extraordinary flight characteristics, accelerated instantly from a hovering position, descended from 80,000 feet to near sea level in seconds.
Fravor reported the object mimicked his movements during their engagement and then vanished at extreme speed.
It's possible the craft was an ultra-secret military project, either U.S.-based experimental aircraft, aerospace technology, or developed by another nation.
However, the extreme flight performance raises doubt.
Such advanced technology would suggest a significant leap beyond publicly known capabilities, which is inconsistent with current engineering limits.
Sensor anomaly or perception issues...
james fox
I asked the heads of Arrow if they could explain that one, and they said no.
joe rogan
If, no, type this in.
unidentified
It's a really good case.
joe rogan
If all accounts of the capabilities of the Tic Tac craft are true, what are the possibilities that what are the possibilities that it came from another planet?
unidentified
What are the possibilities that it came from another planet?
joe rogan
Say it loud so people can hear you.
james fox
Okay, so if the accounts of the Tic Tacs craft capabilities are accurate, instantaneous acceleration, hypersonic speeds without visible propulsion, no heat signatures and defiance of inertia, then the possibilities of origin being extraterrestrial or from another planet become a viable hypothesis.
joe rogan
Here's why.
The physics of the Tic Tac craft.
Reported behavior of the craft suggests technology that operates beyond our current understanding of physics and propulsion systems.
No visible propulsion.
It implies propulsion system unrelated to conventional jets or rockets.
Instantaneous acceleration defies inertia.
In Newtonian physics, achieving this would require manipulating gravity or space-time itself.
Silent operation, no sonic booms, despite hypersonic speeds, points to a technology that likely eliminates air resistance, such as surrounding itself in an electromagnetic field or bubble.
This level of technological advancement far surpasses anything developed on Earth.
If true, such capabilities would suggest a highly advanced civilization, perhaps thousands or millions of years ahead of us scientifically.
If true, where do you think it came from?
james fox
Type that.
This was 20 years ago.
joe rogan
I know, but if true, where do you think it came from?
How about this?
jamie vernon
It's still typing.
joe rogan
It's still typing.
jamie vernon
Jesus Christ.
james fox
Final thoughts.
Look at that.
It's writing a whole turn paper on this.
joe rogan
It's amazing how fast it does it.
It's amazing how fast it does it.
unidentified
Wow.
Wow.
joe rogan
If the Tic Tac UAP is real and the accounts are accurate, then its origin may very well be extraterrestrial or involve unknown physics and technology that we haven't begun to comprehend.
The extraordinary nature of the case suggests an equally extraordinary explanation.
What do you think?
Why are you asking me, bitch?
Your chat GPT. What do you think?
Does extraterrestrial visitation seem plausible?
Or is there another explanation that resonates more with you?
So type this.
I believe...
it seems plausible that they are extraterrestrial in nature.
unidentified
Good luck.
joe rogan
If true, comma, if true, where do you think they came from?
unidentified
Let's see. - I don't know.
joe rogan
Identifying where they might come from involves exploring nearby stellar systems, known exoplanets, and plausible scientific ideas about interstellar travel.
Here are the most likely possibilities.
Nearby star systems with habitable zones.
Alpha Centauri system 4.37 light years away the closest star system to Earth Proxima Centauri Potentially habitable planet exoplanet Orbiting Proxima Centauri within the habitable zone if life developed there might be technologically advanced enough for interstellar exploration Bernard so it's giving me a list of all the potential possibilities possible star systems that This one's only 39 light years away.
james fox
What was the closest one Alpha Centauri was at?
Was that four light years or something?
joe rogan
I don't know.
Scroll back up.
unidentified
Scroll back up a little bit.
joe rogan
3.9 million?
4.3.
james fox
Alpha Centauri, 4.3 light years away.
unidentified
Pretty close.
Wow.
james fox
But here's the crazy part.
joe rogan
Pretty close.
james fox
Remember the twin paradox theory?
twins, right, as kids, say one's 10, they're both 10, and you put one in a spaceship that travels the speed of light for one year, he would come back with an atomic clock on board that spacecraft, a year older, CB-11, and his brother would be an old man.
I can't wrap my mind around that.
joe rogan
Right.
james fox
But they say it's pretty much fact.
joe rogan
But that's speed, right?
I think what we're talking about is different than speed.
I think it's instantaneous.
Instantaneous relocation.
james fox
Right.
joe rogan
So I think instead of like...
james fox
Manipulate the space sign between the two points?
joe rogan
Right.
So I think the idea is that instead of a rocket that goes 5 million miles an hour and just shoots off of Earth and keeps going until 5 million years from now, it runs into this planet.
I think it's different than that.
I think if I had to guess where something can manipulate gravity and space, what it would do is instantaneously appear in these new places.
james fox
And you've talked to a lot of physicists about this kind of stuff, huh?
joe rogan
I have.
And the way they explained it is baffling.
And Bob Lazar's version of it is baffling.
Because Bob Lazar's version of it, that he told in 1989, kind of makes sense when you talk to people that are trying to develop some sort of a gravity or a warp drive.
And the way Bob Lazar explained it is that...
This element, when bombarded with radiation, creates this...
I'm really butchering it for sure.
Creates some sort of a...
Gravity field that allows it, the way he described it, like, if you took a mattress, a very soft mattress, and put a very heavy bowling ball in the middle of the mattress, it pushes the mattress down to that area, and that this, like, folds time.
james fox
Right, so you go from here to here, but when you stretch it down, suddenly those two points connect.
joe rogan
It folds it, yeah.
james fox
Right.
joe rogan
And so wherever it is, it's here.
So it's not like it's going...
A million light years.
A million light years an hour.
james fox
Space is malleable.
joe rogan
Exactly.
Well, it makes sense.
If you think about how technology scales, and if we do, I mean, Ryan brought up this yesterday as well, that there was research and there was papers written about the idea of having some sort of a gravity drive.
Or having some sort of a gravity propulsion system, something that doesn't rely on conventional, you know, rockets, pushing gases out the back.
james fox
That's for sure.
joe rogan
Exactly.
And he said that this was something that was discussed a long time ago, but then it just stopped.
And, you know, we brought it up quite a while ago, there was an episode that we brought up, a paper that was written in the 1960s about gravity drives.
james fox
Was that by Hal Puthoff?
joe rogan
I do not know.
james fox
Because he's like a propulsion expert in terms of the physics behind UFOs.
And I tried to get him to explain it to me in sort of conventional, layman terms, and of course my tiny little brain.
But I felt like I almost grasped it for a moment, but the amount of power that it would take to create that gravitational field Around the object.
And he said that's why you see them doing these maneuvers that look like it defy physics, right?
And then everything inside the craft would just splatter.
That you're immune from that on the inside, according.
joe rogan
Which also would make sense.
james fox
I'm so not a physicist.
What am I talking about?
unidentified
Right.
joe rogan
But that would also make sense if you had something like that, that you could go in the ocean as well.
Right?
Because whatever's around you wouldn't matter, because you're not affected by it.
james fox
Right, you're somehow creating a field around you that's immune to whatever.
joe rogan
That would be the only thing that would make sense, how it could move so fast underwater.
james fox
Atmospheres, space, water.
joe rogan
And how it would be transmedium.
It can go from space into the water.
It's unaffected by gravity.
It's unaffected by all the things around it.
It creates its own gravity field.
It allows it to just pass through things.
james fox
I remember Kirk McConnell, the Senate Armed Service Committee, who investigated UFOs from 2017. I talked about them earlier.
But he said that they were picking up...
Aegis radar systems were picking these objects up basically from space.
And they were shooting down from space all the way down.
They'd loiter for as long as they wanted to, go in the water, come back out again, shoot back up into space, and they would just do it all day long.
And there was nothing...
joe rogan
Well, we can't see that, right?
If there's someone in the military that does have some super advanced satellite reconnaissance imagery of these things, I could see why they would hold that back.
I could see why they would think that people aren't ready for that.
I could see it.
james fox
Do you think Elon knows?
joe rogan
He's real cagey about it.
james fox
He is cagey about it, and he's got deals with the DOD, and he's got satellites and everything.
unidentified
Yeah, that's probably why.
joe rogan
That's probably why.
I'd be cagey about it, too.
james fox
He knows more than what he's saying.
joe rogan
This is what he said.
If aliens are real, they're very subtle.
That's what he was saying.
I was like, I don't know if they're subtle, man.
Phoenix Lights wasn't that subtle.
If that's aliens.
james fox
I heard from some people around him that because of his contracts with DOD, that he kind of keeps quiet about it.
joe rogan
I'm sure.
james fox
Everybody talks about, I mean, even Ratcliffe talked about the satellite imagery of UAP. I mean, if they're picking it up, why wouldn't his systems pick it up?
joe rogan
He hasn't said a peep about the drone thing.
james fox
And you haven't asked him about it?
joe rogan
Nope.
If he wants to tell me, he'll tell me.
I'm not going to be that guy.
I'm not going to be annoying.
But publicly, like on X, has he said anything about the drones?
jamie vernon
He said something a couple weeks ago, I believe.
I think it was a couple weeks ago.
I'll check right now.
But there's a big drone storm or a big drone fight coming, and people are taking that as like, he knew this was happening.
unidentified
A big drone fight coming?
joe rogan
Well, you know, he's been real public about the idea that building manned fighter jets is, at this point, kind of foolish.
You know, and I think he's correct.
james fox
So unpiloted only.
joe rogan
Yeah.
I mean, I think...
james fox
Takes the fun out of it.
joe rogan
Well, it takes the biological mistakes out of it, is what it does.
unidentified
Right.
joe rogan
It takes the human mind out.
The human mind is very fallible.
We already know that AI systems, like Mike Baker explained to us, that AI systems with fighter jets beat actual fighter jet pilots 100% of the time.
Really?
Yes.
When they have these simulated dogfights, when they take AI fighter jets that we have right now, they beat our fighter jet pilots, the best of the best, 100% of the time.
So, they don't have any biological limitations in terms of what they can deal with the chief forces.
So you have that, right?
So all you have to do is make the equipment and the materials robust enough so they can take insane speeds and not blow apart.
But it certainly would be way easier to do that than it would be to get a human being to be safe in it.
james fox
So much less badass though.
joe rogan
So what does he say?
Oh, so he clicked on it.
Future wars are all about drones and hypersonic jets.
So this is us talking about that.
This is us talking about fighter jet pilots by humans will be destroyed very quickly.
So he talked about it.
So he put a clip up of us talking about it on the podcast.
This was in November, November 28th.
And so, neither side is air superiority and tanks are easily destroyed by missiles, so that leaves infantry and artillery, basically World War I. Drones are not yet available in sufficient numbers to matter, much like aircraft in World War I. A defense in depth trench war means, and then some modern example.
jamie vernon
That was like two years ago.
james fox
So did you get the impression when you spoke to Elon about UFOs that he knew more than he was telling you?
You said he's cagey?
joe rogan
Yeah, he doesn't even entertain the idea of UFOs.
james fox
So if you bring up the Fravor incident, he'll just say, no, it didn't happen?
joe rogan
He doesn't seem interested.
I don't know.
I mean, I would imagine what you're saying is true, that it's not wise for him to discuss it.
That's what I would imagine.
james fox
Yeah.
joe rogan
If he wants to tell me, he'll tell me.
And if he wants me to tell no one, I'll tell no one.
james fox
Yeah.
joe rogan
If he wants to tell me and say, don't tell anybody, I won't tell anybody.
But I'm not going to ask him.
I think his position as being the guy at SpaceX, why would you fuck around with that?
james fox
He's got too much at stake.
joe rogan
Yeah, there's way too much at stake.
Also, if anybody's going to find out, he's going to find out.
If there's something going on, if there's something legitimately going on.
The guy who can catch rockets with a crane, that's the guy.
He's going to know.
james fox
I thought the first time I saw that, it was like AI generated.
joe rogan
It seems fake.
james fox
I was watching the thing come down, and I just thought that's insane.
joe rogan
The ones that land before that, those are insane, and now you can catch them?
They don't even have to land?
It's nuts.
What he's done is just accelerate what we are capable of doing far beyond what NASA was able to do just a few years ago.
james fox
I used to have a neighbor that worked for Elon Musk and he drove a Tesla way early on when Teslas weren't that many out there.
And I was like, whoa, you got a Tesla?
He's like, yeah, I actually worked for Elon Musk, blah, blah, blah.
And I saw him a couple years later and I was like, hey, you're not driving Tesla anymore.
And he goes, no.
He goes, I don't work for Elon anymore.
I was like, oh, I'm sorry to hear that.
What happened?
And he goes...
He goes, well, he works so hard and his expectations are so high.
He goes, I was at the hospital with my wife as she was giving birth to our first child, and Elon's like, I need you in the office.
joe rogan
Oh, Jesus Christ.
james fox
He said, he goes, I could, you know, the guy's got an incredible work ethic, but it was too much.
He goes, I'm at the hospital.
He goes, I don't care where you're dressed to work.
unidentified
Yeah.
james fox
It's like pretty brutal.
That's brutal.
Wasn't he sleeping in the...
He was sleeping in the...
joe rogan
Sure.
Yeah, he was sleeping, working 16 hours a day and sleeping on the floor.
unidentified
Wow.
Yeah.
james fox
That's commitment.
joe rogan
Well, he demands that of other people too.
And, you know, maybe you want that and maybe you don't.
And if you don't, you can't work there.
It's just that simple.
Like, if you want that, hop on in.
If you're a single guy and you don't have a wife and you don't have children.
james fox
Yeah.
joe rogan
But if you do, oh boy, that's not a life for...
That's not a life for me.
I wouldn't want that job.
james fox
I think the closest thing to a spaceship on wheels is a Tesla.
joe rogan
Oh, they're amazing.
james fox
Pretty remarkable.
joe rogan
I've had three of them.
This is my third.
james fox
The acceleration is just...
It's incredible.
It's like a gut punch.
joe rogan
Yeah.
And they're getting better.
They're getting...
The autonomous driving is incredible now.
james fox
I remember when somebody said to me, they were like, you know, step on the...
You know, show me the acceleration.
And I stepped on it, a Model 3 performance.
And...
joe rogan
Seems fake.
james fox
I got nauseous.
joe rogan
Yeah.
james fox
I wasn't quite ready.
I turned myself a little sideways or something.
I felt nauseous.
I was like, wow, I ride motorcycles.
I would do all this stuff.
But now I prepare myself for that.
That's really fast.
That's super bike fast.
joe rogan
It's crazy fast.
And it can actually...
The beautiful thing is you can merge on the highway and you don't seem like a douchebag because you're not like...
It's not really loud.
james fox
It's super quiet.
It's all stealthy.
Yeah.
joe rogan
It's all of a sudden going 100 miles an hour.
What happened?
unidentified
Yeah.
james fox
I remember I got a ticket years ago on a motorcycle and the guy that bought the bike was...
It had a loud exhaust pipe, which I ended up getting rid of.
I didn't like the loud exhaust pipe.
It's too loud.
And I got pulled over and the cop never even saw me.
He just heard me.
And he wrote me up exactly how fast I was going.
He's like, you're doing 90 to 35. I'm like...
I was?
He was like, oh yeah, I can hear you.
I went up through the gears and I put a quiet.
So yeah, quiet is nice.
Quiet has its benefits.
joe rogan
Well, it doesn't in a motorcycle, though.
You want to be loud so people don't hate you.
james fox
That's true.
I drive like the invisible man when I'm on a motorcycle.
You have to.
I've had people look me right in the eyes and they pulled right out in front of me.
joe rogan
People want to.
james fox
T-boned, side-swiped.
joe rogan
And also, people are like...
How many people are medicated?
james fox
I don't think they see you as a threat.
I think they see you as like, you're almost like a gnat or something.
I've learned, and I tell people that I've been riding bikes for 50 years.
As soon as you get on that bike, you become the invisible man.
Right?
joe rogan
Right.
Pretend no one gets here.
james fox
Pretend that no one can see you.
You'll live a lot longer.
You can make eye contact with somebody.
It doesn't mean they see you.
joe rogan
Right.
james fox
I've had people pull out in front of me.
Like I said, I've been T-boned and all kinds of crazy accidents over the years.
joe rogan
I wish they weren't so dangerous because I would love to drive them.
james fox
Oh, they're amazing.
I know.
You just have to be, like I said, you just, you know.
joe rogan
Yeah, until you're not.
I had three friends.
I was getting my motorcycle license.
How long ago?
It was a while ago.
james fox
Ten years?
joe rogan
So it was a couple of us that worked on Fear Factor, a couple of the guys that worked on the set.
We all decided to go and take lessons together.
And shout out to Peter Hirschko.
And he wound up getting his motorcycle.
He kept driving it.
But one of the guys we worked with, he crashed his bike and fucked up his shoulder.
And then one of the guys who was fighting for the UFC, Frank Mir, he got hit by a car.
He got t-boned and ran into his femur, snapped his femur, and he almost lost his leg.
It fucked up his career for years.
So there was that, and then I saw a guy on the highway that was covered in a blanket.
unidentified
Oh, God.
joe rogan
Yeah, he was alive, but his leg was so fucked up that they covered in a blanket so that passerbys wouldn't rubberneck it.
There's three of those.
And then another friend of mine saw someone get hit, saw someone get rear-ended, someone not paying attention in their car, rear-ended a bike, and had the guy flying through the air at a red light.
So that was enough for me.
james fox
Yeah, I know.
I became a dad and I had two motorcycles right before I became a dad and I sold them.
And then after 10 years I was like, maybe I can get just like a dirt bike?
Because I really enjoy riding.
There's nothing like it being on a motorcycle.
joe rogan
Imagine if you get a dirt bike and then a mountain lion takes you out.
God damn it.
james fox
I have a dirt bike with a motor.
joe rogan
Yeah, but even with a motor.
I don't know if a mountain lion would be scared of a motor.
james fox
Yeah, I'd be able to outrun it.
joe rogan
I think most of the time they get bicyclers.
Yeah, it's crazy.
Most of the time they kill bicyclers.
james fox
It's nuts.
joe rogan
Yeah.
james fox
So let me ask your honest opinion.
I know we're wrapping up here.
joe rogan
Okay.
james fox
If you had to say whether you believed or you didn't believe, and look, you can't make any definitive statements.
I get that.
But you're a very influential individual.
I hate to use the word disclosure.
It's got a bit of a buzz, a bit of a connection to it.
A push for government transparency on this topic, right?
If you had to say something truly inexplicable that most likely would lead to NHI or non-human intelligence or not conventional, What would you pick, ultimately, that you think there is possibly a non-human intelligence behind this or that there is not?
joe rogan
I wish I could be definitive like that.
james fox
I know you can't be definitive.
joe rogan
I try to stay as open-minded on this as possible, which means I fluctuate back and forth.
From fully believing to fully believing it's a military experiment, and it's a bunch of our stuff.
But then there's stories like the Tic Tac, where you go, okay, 2004?
unidentified
How?
joe rogan
How could they do that in 2004?
Is there a propulsion system available in 2004 that's that far advanced?
And if so, how come there's so little evidence of it in, like, In a practical use, like how come that technology, you would think that technology would take so much money to develop that you would do something with it in 20 years.
You wouldn't just have it and just be flying it around like a drone every now and again.
It would seem like there would be some sort of a practical application for something like that.
And it seemed like the Manhattan Project and like the stealth bomber, eventually you find out that it's a real thing, right?
So 20 years is a long Time to not find out that something's real.
james fox
Well, how about if we take it up to a lot longer than that?
What about the 1952, two consecutive weekends in July over the White House in the Capitol?
And that was, we had a press conference about that.
unidentified
Sure.
james fox
A guy in general that basically admit that they're real.
joe rogan
Kenneth Arnold, you know, those stories.
james fox
That was phenomenal, yeah.
joe rogan
And then you've got to go to the Bhagavad Gita, you know?
Like, there's stories of things.
james fox
The historical stuff is incredible, isn't it?
joe rogan
Like, think of the guy that showed up with the blue skin.
Is that an angel?
Is that a devil?
Like, if you were living 4,000 years ago, you were one of the people that wrote the Dead Sea Scrolls.
james fox
He'd be a god.
joe rogan
What is that?
What is that visitation that you've experienced?
james fox
With a craft, it would be connected with a god, right?
unidentified
Right.
joe rogan
And also the story, when you tell the story.
And then someone illustrates it.
How does it even relay in words, especially you're using the words of 4,000 years ago?
What are you describing?
And if they really have always been here and they've always been visiting us, that's probably how you would describe it.
You would describe it like Ezekiel did in the Bible.
james fox
Yeah, you know, I was in Africa investigating the alleged landing and closing kind of the third kind at Rue Zimbabwe Aerial School in 1994. I wasn't there in 94. I was there much later.
And the teacher, Judy Bates, who's now the head principal, and she was sharing with me these drawings that children did of the alleged creatures.
And they were amazing, these drawings, big eyes and big heads, almond-shaped eyes, blah, blah, blah.
And I'm looking at these drawings, one after the other, from all these school children.
It was phenomenal.
No, I took photographs of them.
And then a month later, I went to Australia, and I was investigating an alleged landing that happened at Westall Primary School in 1966. And that was incredible.
I was there investigating, and I was showing some of the drawings of the alleged aliens that I just had investigated in Africa.
And some of the people were like, oh, wow, these drawings are amazing.
They look like the Wangina cave art.
I was like, the what?
The Wangina cave art, the aboriginals drew these things, and so they pulled it up, Wangina.
And the parallel, they're thousands of years old, right?
These cave paintings in Australia.
The parallels, the consistencies, the comparison of the two was like fantastic.
Let's take a look at those real quick.
joe rogan
Let's look at that before we leave.
james fox
Cave painting, UFO or alien.
joe rogan
There's most likely something there.
I just don't know.
And if it's a thing.
So let's say if it's a real thing.
Is it from another planet or is it more complicated than that?
james fox
I think it's more complicated than that.
joe rogan
Yeah.
Well, that's Choc-Vale's.
unidentified
See that?
joe rogan
Yes.
Yeah.
Very bizarre.
james fox
Right?
I mean, look at that one right there with the dark eyes.
unidentified
Super, super bizarre.
joe rogan
Look at the three of them.
Isn't that the one in the center, Jamie?
Yeah, that one.
Look how weird that is, man.
That's so fucking weird.
james fox
Look at the one with the dark black eyes right there.
joe rogan
Look how pale they are, too.
james fox
It's like...
joe rogan
Yeah.
It's very weird.
james fox
And then there's that one with the big dark eyes, right?
Down, just go straight down.
Up, down.
Yeah, right.
Up to the right.
Right there.
Look at that.
unidentified
Very weird.
joe rogan
Very weird.
unidentified
Isn't that crazy?
joe rogan
And it's also very weird how this is 4,000 years old and then Close Encounters of the Third Kind, the 1970s.
james fox
4,000 years old.
And I'm telling you, I could show you the drawings.
One of the witnesses...
Very weird.
Yeah, it's just phenomenal.
joe rogan
Listen, man, thank you for everything.
Thanks for what you do.
james fox
Thank you so much for having me on.
joe rogan
My pleasure.
I mean, you're fucking dogged determination to get this stuff out there.
It's very important.
james fox
You promise you'll watch the program?
joe rogan
I will 100% watch it.
unidentified
Comment on it?
Definitely.
joe rogan
I will.
I will.
Thank you, sir.
james fox
Awesome, brother.
joe rogan
Appreciate you, James.
Thank you very much.
james fox
I appreciate you so much, Joe.
Thank you.
joe rogan
It's on Amazon, the program, and then Moment of Contact is probably available everywhere, right?
james fox
Yeah, and the phenomenon.
joe rogan
Yeah.
james fox
I know what I saw out of the blue.
joe rogan
Okay.
james fox
50 years of denial.
Oh my God, it goes back.
joe rogan
Yeah, you've been deep in this rabbit hole for a long time, sir.
Thanks, James.
james fox
I appreciate you very much.
unidentified
All right.
joe rogan
Bye, everybody.
