Tucker Carlson Tells Joe Rogan UFOs are 'Spiritual Entities' and That US Military Personnel Have Been Killed and Wounded by Them

No matter where you stand on the socio-political spectrum, you have to give Tucker Carlson credit for one thing. As much as, if not more than, any popular media figure of our times, he's willing to tell you exactly what he thinks. Whether he's countering our government's preferred, approved narrative on major issues, or discussing the career of a man (above, left) who 20 years ago was delivering a sports/gambling/smut newspaper around Boston in a rusted out Astrovan and turned it into a half-billion multimedia conglomerate, Carlson has long shown a willingness to go where others fear to tread. 

And before he lost his job at Fox, he was the one talk show host on cable interested in reporting on the UFO/UAP phenomenon. And so it came as no surprise that, when he he sat down with the world's most high profile UFO discusser Joe Rogan, it was the topic they first talked about once the mics came on. And predictably, the information Carlson claims to have is absolutely wild. 

Daily Mail - UFOs and their pilots might not be 'extra-terrestrials' from a distant planet at all, but 'spiritual entities' who have inhabited Earth for as long as humanity itself.  …

'There's a ton of evidence that they're under the ocean and under the ground,' Carlson told Rogan's listeners during the show's usual, sprawling, three-hour-long chat format, adding: 'They've been here for a long time.' 

Carlson's latest comments echo an increasingly common refrain from UFO-curious lawmakers, including Missouri Congressman Eric Burlison and his fellow GOP legislator Tim Burchett, who both compared UFOs to Biblical entities in the past year. 

'The first chapter of Ezekiel is pretty clear of a UFO sighting,' Rep. Burchett told reporters in January of 2023. …

'Whenever I use the term "angels,"' added Rep. Burlison, who has been privy to classified briefings on the UFO phenomena, 'to me, it's synonymous with an extradimensional being.'

Tucker Carlson appeared to earnestly cosign these notions. … 

They're from here and they've been here for thousands of years,' Carlson said, 'whatever they are.'

'And it's pretty clear to me that they're "spiritual entities,"' he continued, 'whatever that means.' 

The veteran broadcaster explained that by 'supernatural' he meant that the beings were 'above the observable nature' and that they 'don't behave according to the laws of science.'  

'With that fact set,' Carlson put it rhetorically, 'what do you conclude?'

Carlson then went on to reiterate the point Burchett made about Ezekiel, and expanded on that to include almost identical claims being made every major religion in human history. He then revealed information he's gotten from officials inside the Department of Defense, as well as a tenured Stanford Medical School professor and expert on head injuries. Namely, that there are several lawsuits making their way through the courts from families of service members who became incapacitated after close encounters with these entities:

These claims echo something he said last year, where he put the number of US military personnel who have died in these incidents at least a hundred:

Needless to say - though I'm saying it - these are bold claims. Which, to apply the old standard Carl Sagan used to use, means they require bold evidence. I will suggest that the existence of actual court cases would be pretty good proof. And while last year a DoD spokesperson said "The story is false," she didn't elaborate further. And since lawsuits are public record, it would seem to me to be the easiest story in the world to shoot down if Carlson is lying. Which makes the silence on this one pretty deafening. 

Further evidence would seem to be the UFOs/UAPs themselves. Since nothing exists on Earth capable of moving the way these things have been moving in front of eyewitnesses for literally thousands of years - and Carlson adds that sonar has detected them effortlessly moving through the ocean at an impossible 50 knots - we can easily rule out some state-of-the-art, man-made supertech that hasn't been revealed to the world yet. 

Finally, I'll add that for thousands of years, the "spiritual entities" hypothesis was exactly what everyone defaulted to. And it was as satisfactory an explanation as any. It's only been since the Enlightenment, the Industrial Revolution and the Space Age that we flipped the narrative and started saying these are visitors from other planets. Coming here to look at us like Eco-Tourists visiting a rainforest to look at birds. Or an interstellar Whale Watch. That explanation requires you to rethink everything science teaches us about the distance between stars and the limits of the speed of light. The "spiritual" explanation Carlson gives to Rogan simply asks that you accept what everyone believed until about 10 minutes ago in the grand scheme of things. 

Personally, I'm willing to consider it. Mainly because it would help confirm that the things my faith teaches are, in fact real. But also because I have a good friend who has experienced these phenomena and came away convinced they are as Carlson describes them. Spiritual entities. And not necessarily the kind that have humanities best interests in mind. One hundred US service members killed or wounded ought to be all the proof anyone should need of that. So stay tuned for further updates.
