Joe Rogan reacts as ex-Navy pilot Ryan Graves dismantles missing nukes theory about mysterious New Jersey drone sightings

Joe Rogan has given his reaction to ex-U.S. Navy pilot Ryan Graves seemingly dismantling the much-discussed missing nukes theory related to the New Jersey drone sightings. Rogan appeared to issue a rather lighthearted and concise response before they further analyzed the mysterious UAP (Unidentified Aerial Phenomenon) sightings in America.

Graves appeared on episode #2244 of Joe Rogan Experience (JRE) this month. The former Navy and F/A-18F pilot had famously disclosed sightings of UAPs while on active duty. He currently serves as a UAP expert.

During their latest conversation, Rogan referenced the recent TikTok video by John Ferguson, a military veteran, contractor, and unmanned aircraft provider-cum-expert.

Ferguson suggested that the mysterious drone sightings, which have drastically increased in New Jersey, are likely a part of the U.S. government's search operations for a missing nuclear warhead that was smuggled into America.

Watch Ferguson's video below:

UFC commentator Joe Rogan recounted that the U.S. and Russia reportedly dismantled many Soviet nuclear warheads/infrastructure from Ukraine after the Cold War, from the 1990s until 2001. Well, Ferguson highlighted that around 80 of those warheads went missing.

The MMA personality cited Ferguson's claims that one of the warheads has resurfaced in America. Ferguson implied the U.S. government has deployed its most advanced drones with nighttime detection to track the alleged warhead through its gamma radiation. Nevertheless, Graves deemed it unlikely:

"So there are teams that respond to those types of potential emergencies, typically within the Department of Energy. Having potentially hundreds of drones flying around, trying to identify these, isn't necessarily the best way. Gamma radiation is typically well-shielded in weapons. And at very high altitudes or even moderate altitudes, like we're seeing these objects, it'd be pretty difficult to detect them."

"And the way that this DOE typically operates in this environment is ground-based teams, searching for radiation itself. So it's not necessarily consistent with how they would do it, to begin with. And then, based off that other information, that's what leads me to believe that's not the case."

Rogan appeared to lightheartedly respond:

"Well, that makes me feel better 'cause I was freaking out this weekend."

Rogan further emphasized that in today's social media age, where so many narratives get spread and re-posted, any situation could become incredibly confusing.

Joe Rogan and Ryan Graves address alternative perspective, questioning warhead smuggling theory

Around the 50:53-minute mark of their conversation, Joe Rogan and Ryan Graves questioned the veracity of John Ferguson's source. Graves asked how a U.S. citizen physically touched a nuclear weapon, which was lost, and knew where it was headed.

Meanwhile, Joe Rogan jested about why someone would touch it and risk radioactive poisoning. They pondered about the government possibly concealing information from Ferguson despite his contributions as a military contractor. Graves asserted:

"I think there's a few connections short of being able to say that's exactly what's going on here, especially after the conversations I've had."

The U.S. government is said to be investigating the incidents. There have been mysterious drone sightings elsewhere in America as well, with the high volume of New Jersey sightings particularly gaining considerable attention in the nation that has a long history of reported UAP sightings.
