Overview
A Reddit post has drawn attention to an alleged connection between reports involving former U.S. intelligence official David Grusch, podcast host Joe Rogan, and long-running claims about a hidden extraterrestrial facility near Dulce, New Mexico. The post presents the timing of the stories as noteworthy, but it does not provide evidence that the accounts are related. No substantive discussion or corroborating material was available in the source information reviewed.
The Dulce claims were revisited in a report published by The Irish Sun on October 19, 2021. The article described what it called a mysterious underground “UFO base,” while emphasizing that the story is promoted by conspiracy theorists rather than established fact.
The Dulce Claims
According to the newspaper’s report, the alleged facility is said to be located beneath or near Dulce, a community in northern New Mexico. The story centers on claims that the U.S. government and extraterrestrial beings operated a secret underground installation at the site. One especially dramatic version alleges that 60 U.S. troops were killed by aliens during a covert conflict.
The report also referred to an engineer who allegedly “exposed” the base. However, the material provided does not establish the engineer’s identity, present independently verified documentation, or demonstrate that the alleged facility exists. The article’s framing—including the phrase “battle for Earth”—reflects the sensational nature of the claims, which have circulated for decades within UFO and conspiracy communities.
There is no evidence in the supplied source material confirming an underground base, an armed confrontation, or the deaths of military personnel. The claims remain allegations and should not be treated as verified events.
Alleged Link to Grusch and Rogan Reports
The Reddit post attempts to associate the Dulce narrative with more recent reports involving Grusch and Rogan. Grusch has become a prominent figure in contemporary UAP discussions, while Rogan has frequently hosted or discussed subjects related to unidentified aerial phenomena and alleged government secrecy.
The post’s argument appears to rest primarily on chronology and perceived thematic similarities—that stories involving alleged government knowledge of nonhuman phenomena appeared alongside renewed interest in the Dulce account. Timing alone, however, does not demonstrate coordination, shared sourcing, or a factual relationship between separate claims.
Neither the Reddit material nor the supplied article identifies a document, witness, official investigation, or other evidence connecting Grusch’s statements or Rogan’s reporting to the Dulce story. There is also no indication that either man endorsed the specific claim that an underground base near Dulce exists or that troops were killed there.
What the Evidence Shows
The available information supports only a limited conclusion: a social-media post highlighted a possible connection between unrelated UFO narratives, and an earlier newspaper article summarized extraordinary claims about Dulce. It does not establish that the reports originated from the same source or describe the same alleged operation.
The episode illustrates how older conspiracy stories can be reintroduced into contemporary UAP discussions, particularly when online users connect them through timing or shared themes. Until verifiable records, credible testimony, or independently confirmed evidence emerge, the Dulce base story—and any proposed link to Grusch- or Rogan-related reporting—remains unsubstantiated.
