the jurogan experience so uh what do you remember from that moment on uh when i when i regained consciousness it wasn't real quick it wasn't real walking right up um it was real slow it was dim uh my consciousness was kind of like in and out for a while i didn't know where i was the pain and the feeling that that i was mortally wounded something um something was so wrong inside i i felt like i was dying and this is what really fueled the panic when i finally laid eyes on these creatures uh of
course you know all of the mental programming that we get from hollywood that aliens are invading monsters you know didn't help but i instantly associated this feeling of of dying with pain with them so i was combative immediately where were you i was lying on my back on a raised table there was a light above me it was not real bright it was um not so bright that i couldn't um you know see the outline of the of the fixture but uh would the fixture look like kind of like that only much larger just a
soft uh glow and uh in the movie there's a little bit of striking on the part of the aliens against me uh that didn't happen i lashed out at them the one closest to me i i felt really weak i didn't have enough strength to to do much so when i my arm contacted him he just fell back very unexpectedly easy into the other one and i rolled off the table in the other direction and uh they came around the table and the three of them were coming towards me and i just grabbed something from
behind me an object off of the uh shelf there and started swinging it at them what was the object it was just some large uh long cylinder or rod uh glass some clear material i wasn't studying it i was looking at them and swinging wildly screaming threats they stopped and i was planning on attacking more fully just making way past them the only doorway i could see was on the other side of them and it looked like a doorway yeah it looked like a doorway just uh you know what did they look like um i
guess it's a pretty typical description nowadays very large eyes hairless two eyes nose mouth i didn't see them speak or no change in the expressions and uh to me that and in the face of all the screaming and the fear that i was uh projecting uh their lack of reaction probably just added to my panic but uh did they feel like they were a living creature or did they feel like they were a robot like well they were without expression i'll say that but you know i've had 45 years to think about that in more
recent years i think well maybe if they're telepathic and it's developed enough to where they don't need to talk they also don't need facial expression right and so their ability to communicate with each other would be much richer and more complete than we have and speech and frowns or smiles or whatever would become obsolete pretty quick yeah well that is a theory about where human beings are headed if we continue to evolve that we will one day reach this point where the biological limitations of our monkey bodies will slowly start to fade away we'll have
different abilities different abilities well why would we need to uh frown or smile if if you can save much more and also their their musculature did their musculature did they look like smooth like they had no no clear muscles yeah they were pretty smooth very light when i when i hit the one it fell back into the other one pretty easily like he weighed hardly anything like a little kid yeah that was most terrifying experience of my life but when i when i tell the story and try to relate to people i'm trying to communicate
what i experienced and how utterly utterly traumatic that was and how it was so devastating i was you know on the verge of catatonic for weeks after it happened but uh i don't i don't want to relate this story in order to uh inspire fear because i've had enough time to think about it that i think that it was unwarranted that my reaction was uh just due to my ignorance of the situation the fact that i was returned at all is pretty significant you know yeah uh the idea that these beings are just uh kidnapping
people willy-nilly and doing terrible things to them i i don't subscribe to that theory now i try to separate what i actually experienced from things that i've concluded just from thinking about it but it seems to me that uh i mean they've been seen uh observed there have been sightings for all you know before i was born had you heard of the betty and barney hill story before you were abducted no i probably had but if i i thought if they had some sort of sinister intentions it'd be a done deal they wouldn't be sneaking
around hiding and uh yeah i believe with that level of technology look at it this way human beings just virtually everything technological that we have is just a few hundred years old before that the most technological thing we had was fire and in just uh the last um 50 years the progress of our science has grown to far overshadow everything we had accomplished in thousands of years before that so i'm thinking um what astronomers tell us about these other star systems is that they could be hundreds of thousands millions or maybe billions of years older
than us so if we accomplished the kind of technology that we have in a few decades what is possible with millions of years of development i mean we couldn't begin to recognize what they're capable of right so i think it's presumptuous for people to say oh they could never do that it really is an interesting conundrum because we know what we can do and we know where we came from we have a very clear history of technology when it comes to humans and we also know that there are planets surrounding stars all throughout our galaxy
and all throughout the universe but we're still skeptical it's so funny and so first it is but for a guy like you who's actually encountered it even though you saw it it had to not seem real oh yeah you're questioning your sanity for sure i mean it was like i was practically catatonic for days afterwards 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
