Joe Rogan and Dr. Michio Kaku discuss UFO's

In the 1828 edition of the JRE podcast, Joe Rogan and Dr. Michio Kaku discussed the shift in narratives regarding the UFO phenomenon.

According to Rogan, reports and personal accounts from reputable newspapers and credible men regarding UFO's has led to a shift in the discussion of an otherwise herratic concept.

Agreeing with Rogan, Kaku said:

"It used to be that one person used to see something in the sky and say, look, Martha, look, there is something up there. Now things have changed. Now we have multiple sightings by multiple modes. That is the gold standard, the gold standard for looking for these objects. Not just one person, several people that are reputable. Not just radar, but visual sightings, infrared sensors, telescopic evidence. Now we have multiple sightings by multiple modes. So the burden of proof shifted. It used to be that the burden of proof was on people who believed in UFOs... Now the burden of proof has shifted to the Pentagon, to the military. Now they have to prove that these aren’t extraterrestrial."

Kaku further explained to Rogan that the Pentagon has come up with several possible explanations for these unexplainable objects.

However, he further explained that at this point, even the Pentagon is considering these sightings as something unexplainable, in no way achievable with any technology presently used on the planet.
