Joe Rogan has fueled conspiracy theories surrounding the "SUV-sized" drones that have been spotted hovering in the skies across the United States causing people to feel "concerned."
RadarOnline.com can reveal the famous podcaster admitted he is "genuinely concerned" about the mysterious situation occurring in different states after hearing a theory about what they could be for from the CEO of a remote aircraft system company.
Rogan, 57, shared a video on his X account and wrote: "This is the first video about these drones that has got me genuinely concerned."
In the video that Rogan reposted, John Ferguson — who runs Saxon Unmanned, a Kansas-based government contractor that builds systems and vehicles — revealed his theory on the controversy.
In the video, Ferguson said he believed there was nothing "nefarious" about the drones but admitted he suspects they were designed to detect a "gas leak" or "radioactive material."
Ferguson said: "I wanted to give you my opinion on what I think could be going on with these drones. I don't particularly believe that these have a nefarious intent; I could be wrong. But I want to give you the truth and what I believe; it's my own opinion."
He then explained his theory and added: "I don't want to spread misinformation."
Ferguson said: "So my belief is they're trying to smell something on the ground – gas leak, radioactive material, whatever."
Ferguson added that there would be no other purpose for the drones "other than to p*** a bunch of people off at night."
He continued: "The only reason why you would ever fly an unmanned aircraft at night is if you're looking for something."
Ferguson's theory received a lot of feedback after it was reposted by Rogan on X account.
One user wrote: "The government is lying to us."
Another asked: "Why is our government gaslighting us?"
A third added: "Something is definitely up."
A fourth mentioned: "They’re appearing in more and more places."
After concern continued to grow over the suspicious drones, Homeland Security Secretary Alejandro Mayorkas said the federal government is taking action.
He said in an exclusive interview on Sunday with This Week: “There's no question that people are seeing drones. I want to assure the American public that we in the federal government have deployed additional resources, personnel, technology to assist the New Jersey State Police in addressing the drone sightings.
“Some of those drone sightings are, in fact, drones. Some are manned aircraft that are commonly mistaken for drones. But there's no question that drones are being sighted.”
He added: “I want to assure the American public that we are on it."
According to reports, there were 12 sightings on Saturday and just 1 on Sunday.
President-Elect Donald Trump took to Truth Social to address the mysterious drones.
He wrote: "Mystery Drone sightings all over the Country. Can this really be happening without our government’s knowledge. I don’t think so! Let the public know, and now. Otherwise, shoot them down!!! DJT."
Speaking to reporters Monday, Trump said: "The government knows what is happening. Our military knows where they took off from."
The president-elect canceled his trip to Bedminster, New Jersey due to the growing concern.
