Joe Rogan stunned as number of UFOs in US government hands is revealed

Dr Hal Puthoff , a physicist and electrical engineer, revealed on the Joe Rogan Experience podcast that the US military has recovered more than 10 crashed UFOs since the 1940s .

The 88-year-old was the former project leader for the CIA 's remote viewing program, which taught mentally gifted individuals how to psychically see distant objects and targets with their minds.

He added that even more of these 'non-human craft' have allegedly been recovered by other nations in isolated deserts and from the oceans around the world, with more possibly hiding out in alien bases underwater or near quite mountain ranges.

The scientist said he worked on a secret project that convinced US officials to never reveal the existence of aliens.

Puthoff was recruited by Navy officials to take part in a secret project in Washington DC in 2004 .

He was part of a large group of scientific experts, former intelligence agents, and military officials who were given the unique problem to deal with.

Government officials told the group that the US , China , and Russia had obtained an extraterrestrial craft.

They asked the group to examine all the ways releasing this information to the public could negatively affect society.
