Joe Rogan addressed 'best ever UFO footage' caught on camera that had authenticity '100%' confirmed

The podcast host said the mysterious object 'looked like it's from another f***ing world'

At this stage in the game, we've all seen the clip of what is supposedly the 'best ever UFO footage ever' caught on camera more times than we care to count.

But not everyone has heard what Joe Rogan had to say about it.

Although his passion for the subject might have fooled you into thinking he's an extraterrestrial expert, the 57-year-old is actually just an enthusiast.

He's invited a plethora of guests on his podcast, The Joe Rogan Experience, to discuss the topic, while previously saying he is '100% convinced' that aliens have visited Earth.

The UFC commentator even chewed the fat with President Donald Trump about the prospect of little green men coming down from space in November last year.

So when footage of a UFO, which was pretty hard to argue against, went viral a few years ago, Rogan obviously wanted to put his twopence in.

Take a look at the clip for yourself here:

In June last year, Rogan welcomed America's Got Talent judge Howie Mandel, 69, onto his podcast and just couldn't resist showing him the video.

Explaining that people were calling it 'some of the most compelling UFO video ever' recorded, Rogan went on to say that he'd been unable to think up an explanation for it.

"They freeze framed it, it looks like a flying disc," he told Mandel about the strange object in the sky. "I mean, what in the f**k is that?"

Rogan's guest claimed that he had previously encountered a UFO himself, while suggesting that the flying object in the clip was travelling at a similar speed.

In response, Rogan said: "But you have to take into consideration that this plane is moving in a specific direction and the UFO is moving in the opposite direction.

"So it looks much faster than it actually is. Even if that was like a mylar balloon...if you're passing it that fast...I mean, I don't know what you're getting there.

"That to me looks like it's from another f***ing world."

He explained that he was unsure whether it was merely a 'distortion' in the footage which made him think this, or because the flying object was actually alien-related.

"That looks very distinct," Rogan went on. "It's so fascinating, man. I mean if I was a cynic I'd say, 'Oh, it's a f***ing balloon'. But it is weird, because it's not moving that fast if the plane is moving."

At the time, Rogan wasn't too sure if the clip was even legit or not - however, pilot Jorge A. Arteaga later came out to confirm it was in fact authentic.

Arteaga was swooping through the skies above Antioquia, Colombia, when he spotted the object emerging through the clouds and zooming past the cockpit of the small plane he was flying.

The quick-thinking pilot incredibly juggled his controls with his camera to capture the extraordinary moment, as he and his co-pilot watched in awe.

Arteaga said that the object had initially been stationary, before appearing to float in the air between Medellín and Santa Fe.

He claimed it then drastically picked up speed and beelined towards them, resulting in him manoeuvring the plane to follow the UFO.

Arteaga insisted that it didn't look or behave like a balloon, drone or plane - but he didn't manage to track it down.

After starting to 'hunt' the flying object, the dad is said to have become alarmed when it started moving towards the plane, seeing him abandon the search in fear.

He reckons that it would have been too cold and too turbulent for it to be a balloon, as he says it would have popped or blown away at 12,500 feet in the air while that close to another aircraft - but the jury's still out on what exactly it was.

Ufologist Jaime Maussan - who famously unveiled the two 'alien corpses' in Mexico last year - also threw his weight behind the claims, insisting the footage was genuine.

Sharing a snippet of their chat in a post on X, Maussan captioned the clip: "We are facing one of the greatest UAP (UFO) evidences of all time; captured by the Captain Pilot Aviator @JorgeArteagaG."

He also thanked retired Pilot Lieutenant Ryan Graves for analysing and validating the clip alongside him, which brought them both to the conclusion that it was a 'UAP anomalous object' - AKA, a UFO.

Maussan said that Arteaga told him that the object in the video is 'something totally unknown without means of propulsion with movements that he considers intelligent.'
