Over the past few weeks, mysterious drones have been seen flying over the New York and New Jersey area. As the government continues to downplay the drones without offering an official explanation as to what exactly they are, the American people are becoming increasingly unnerved by their presence.
Now, the popular podcast host Joe Rogan is weighing in. He took to social media over the weekend to share a TikTok video that he described as being “the first video about these drones that has got me genuinely concerned.”
In this video, John Ferguson, CEO of a remote aircraft system company in Kansas, shares his terrifying theory about what these drones could be doing. He believes that the drones are trying to “smell” something on the ground, such as “radioactive material” or a gas leak.
From The New York Post:
“The only reason why you would ever fly an unmanned aircraft at night is if you’re looking for something,” Ferguson said in the clip, noting he doesn’t believe the drones are nefarious.“So my belief is they’re trying to smell something on the ground — gas leaks, radioactive material, whatever,” the CEO said. Ferguson added that the theory was his best guess based on his expertise and just his opinion on the drone mystery that’s gripped the East Coast and admitted, “I’ve not bounced this off anybody.”
“So if you think it’s bulls–t, whatever, that’s cool. I don’t want to spread misinformation, as we know that there’s a lot of that going around,” he said in the TikTok video.

Rogan Calls Out Biden Admin Over Drones
Rogan had previously criticized the official White House response to the drones. He said this after White House National Security Council spokesman John Kirby tried to reassure the American people by claiming that the drones pose no risk to public safety. Kirby alleged that “many of the reported sightings are actually manned aircraft that are being operated lawfully.”
This didn’t sit well with Rogan.
“This is what the kids call ‘sus,'” Rogan wrote on X, the social media platform formerly known as Twitter.

Department of Homeland Security Secretary Alejandro Mayorkas also tried to downplay the drone sightings.
“Some of those drone sightings are, in fact, drones,” he said on Sunday. “Some are manned aircraft that are commonly mistaken for drones. And we do see duplicative reporting.”
Mayorkas went on to claim that the Biden administration is “not aware” of “any foreign involvement or criminal activity” involving the drones.
“If we become aware of any, we will communicate accordingly and take appropriate action,” he added.

After just how many lies the Biden administration has told over the past four years, however, the American people simply aren’t buying that. Indeed, in a time when Republicans and Democrats alike are rarely unified on anything, there is bipartisan concerns over these drone sightings.
“Something strange is going on,” President-Elect Donald Trump said on Monday. “For some reason they don’t want to tell the people and they should because the people are really — they happen to be over Bedminster.”
Meanwhile, Senate Majority Leader Chuck Schumer (D-NY) is calling on the government to deploy radar technology in the hopes of identifying what the drones are.
These truly are some crazy times that we are living in. Only time will tell if we end up getting answers as to what these drones really are.
