the jurogan experience let's take it back to the day that this happened you're you're 22 you're logging you're you're in the woods tell me what happened well uh it's just uh you know when you're done working the hard physical labor everybody's kind of jacked up and there was a whole lot of chatter in the car we're just talking away you know it's starting to get dark we just loaded up our equipment we're headed out and i looked up ahead and i saw this kind of glow coming through the trees first i thought no big deal you know what we'd it was dare hunting season uh thought maybe there was some hunters camped up down the hill up there maybe light shining into a tent it was still something really strange kind of caught my eye and uh one by one the other guys in the crew started looking but nobody said oh my god what's that or anything like that it was just kind of an idle curiosity at first but when we burst into the clearing where we could see the source of this glow uh it was just whoa you know i mean it was just mind-blowing instantly uh i i inexplicably got out of the truck and ran toward this thing but uh i thought i thought it was just gonna uh take off be gone in a flash and so when you say in the clearing so you're are you driving on a dirt road yeah it's a dirt road trees are real thick this was a part of the contract we hadn't cut in yet so um trees were a lot thicker there except for this clearing and we weren't the only ones that's hot we found out later sheriff had on file uh people who were in the area that saw it you know hunters and fishermen over there at black canyon lake and the movement that they described was what the crew described when it left and of course i didn't see that but what what what did
they describe they described uh this glow rising up and streaking off i believe they said toward the northeast and there were some people that probably don't want to be public about it but there was one guy who was just deer hunting and he worked in military intelligence and uh uh he stuck by what he and his wife saw they were both uh together and uh another guy that was at black canyon lake uh i won't mention any of those guys names unless they uh joe's do but uh um found out later that there was more uh official investigation that nobody talked about at the time um immediately though this was all nonsense and these guys murdered him and uh even my oldest brother he he didn't believe me he thought they had killed me what we were doing with the the brush that we cut was piling it up there were piles that were in the clearing so that the forest service could burn these piles uh you know when the conditions were right where it wouldn't spread you know wet conditions otherwise but burn up this excess material to reduce the fire danger in the woods and my oldest brother was tearing those piles apart he was certain that my body was under under there and there were some pretty um testy confrontations between him and my brother and i think even my uh other brother dwayne he initially took that approach but he quickly became sure that they were telling the truth now you what do you remember when you're going through your mind and you're trying this is a story you've told so many times and this is a story that's been turned into a film which it's got to be very surreal but when you look into your memories and you try to go back to that day well i don't try it it's something i try to block out but uh it's unforgettable and there's uh what do you remember seeing when you ran into
the clearing well um the whole clearing was lit up with this weird glow uh it's really hard to uh for any artist or movie to try to duplicate the the strange glow there was there made everything uh look really really pretty eerie you know and uh uh i could have a color to it um it was kind of a golden color but with a kind of a softness to it that was it wasn't like uh beams of light shooting out it was just this um haze of of of light and did it seem to come from a specific part of the craft or most of the surface seemed to be glowing there were darker areas that didn't uh give off light but uh uh it was uh the parts weren't glowing it wasn't so hard uh right that that you couldn't look at it but it uh had a metallic look to it so what did the craft itself look like it was um a classic disc shaped uh craft um the uh years later uh um there was a report uh i can never remember names but this guy was saying that uh he worked at area 51 and they had something in there he worked with the tester model uh corporation to create a model of what he was describing and that that's actually the closest of any of the other descriptions i've seen but i don't think i don't think these things have just one type of craft i think there's many many different shapes what makes you think that well personal experience i try not to emphasize these other incidents but i've seen the glowing sphere i've seen the giant black triangle um um other other craft that were a ball of light that you couldn't penetrate the light with your eyes but uh now this is after this experience um
i think the reason my brother dwayne was persuaded more quickly than my brother dawn was that he saw a craft in those woods i was probably 10 miles from there while deer hunting and uh it was kind of tic-tac-shaped and that's a something that's uh been observed by you know in military reports recently yeah so you see this thing this uh this disc shaped craft and then what happens um it started to move and started to get louder louder yeah it was the guys in the truck heard it too uh there was a low uh uh thunderous kind of a rumble that you actually sort of felt more than heard and then there were other high high pitched frequencies i was talking to a group of students from a technical college and they were really interested in what the sound was like to try to you know compare that with the theories that they had concerning what might be their propulsion but the increase in volume it suddenly got louder as it started to move and you know at the same time the guys in the truck were screaming get away from there you know let's go let's go get back in the truck let's go and uh which would have been the smart thing to do but as soon as it moved it startled me and i just ducked for cover there was a log there i got down behind this log and they were screaming let's go let's go let's go and uh i uh didn't need to be told i was just gonna you know stand up and run away but see when i when i jump for cover i i i went down and forward to reach where the log would hide me and that brought me closer to it so when i stood up at that point that was the closest i was to the object how close uh i it was still like eight or ten feet away you know
from the surface of it but that was when the energy discharge happened i've worked on a number of theories about what might have happened at the time some of the other guys on the truck were thinking uh i mean immediately steve said it got him like you know if you shot a deer you got it you know and so uh it might not not have been as we assumed at first that it was some kind of stun gun or something but uh maybe just closing that gap uh allowed this energy to leap to ground through me and uh like static electricity or something yeah one thing that really uh weighs heavy in that direction is um that when uh i found years later that the they they have satellites or something that record the number of lightning strikes and that area has the highest frequency of lightning strikes of any place in the continental united states except for the everglades the everglades has a bit more but that's over water so that adds to another theory what were they doing there you know so that area that has a high level of lightning strikes do you think it makes sense that they're observing that or is that is that why they were there do you have any thoughts about that well uh until up until a few years ago you know you walk down the rim road and if you see a tree that's been hit by lightning you can always see it it's a strip of bark that's just blasted out of there and it's all bare and it can actually still survive the lightning strike but it turns the the sap to steam instantly and it just explodes out the side of the uh tree blows the bark off but um i was at a conference where this lady was i say what's this and she says that's folky right i said what what's that and she says that's when lightning strikes the earth you've got millions of volts millions of degrees that form these crystals
that aren't formed geologically so i kind of leaned towards this theory that perhaps they were looking for folk right for a very unique kind of crystal uh that would be formed by uh that kind of blast of energy i'd never heard of folky right before hmm can you pull up an image of that jamie i'd like to see what that looks like i know um tritonite is something that happens when uh it's they call it nuclear glass it happens when there is uh either a nuclear explosion or uh whether when uh asteroid impacts hit the earth that's it right there well these crystals are supposed to have very special properties for people into crystal stuff but uh what does that say there jamie this is what happens that's what wow that's wild it's beautiful yeah it really is that's pretty wild so you might it might be that they were looking for that maybe something that they use for energy what is that that's really when lightning struck santa created that thing that's wild that is wild look at that it looks like a tree coming out of the sand uh i'd say yes that was wet sand yeah but yeah well it's right next to the beach it must be wet that is crazy that's really wild man catch new episodes of the joe rogan experience for free only on spotify watch back catalog jre videos on spotify including clips easily seamlessly switch between video and audio experience on spotify you can listen to the jre in the background by using other apps and can download episodes to save on data cost all for free spotify is absolutely free you don't have to have a premium account to watch new jre episodes you just need to search for the jre on your spotify app go to spotify now to get this full episode of the joe rogan experience
