Joe Rogan Experience #2246 - James Fox

Joe Rogan hosts filmmaker James Fox to discuss the recent wave of mysterious drones over New Jersey and military bases, framed against Fox's decades investigating UFOs/UAP. Fox details his new documentary The Program, which traces the 2017-2024 push by a bipartisan group of lawmakers and intel whistleblowers toward government transparency, including three Congressional hearings and David Grusch's testimony about a crash-retrieval program. He recounts firsthand witness encounters (Nellis 1994, Vandenberg, Stephenville, Phoenix Lights, the Calvine photograph) and his pursuit of compelling photographic evidence. The pair debate whether the phenomenon is non-human intelligence, advanced human tech searching for a missing nuke, or a cover story, and they probe ChatGPT live for answers on the drones and the Tic Tac case.
