Joe Rogan Experience #2502 - David Paulides
In a Nutshell
David Paulides claims that thousands of people have vanished from national parks under identical anomalous patterns—dogs lose scent immediately, no tracks appear despite professional tracking, and bodies later materialize in areas already searched multiple times. He links these disappearances to UFO abductions, describing cases where witnesses report time distortion, telepathic contact with non-human entities, frozen animals, and medical procedures aboard craft, with many abductees returning amnesiac or cured of prior conditions. Paulides extends the pattern to Bigfoot, arguing DNA evidence shows a human hybrid species that may operate interdimensionally, explaining the absence of bodies and the consistent reports of beings appearing and vanishing.

Joe Rogan welcomes David Paulides to the show. Rogan first learned about Paulides' work through Art Bell's Coast to Coast radio program. Paulides has a background in law enforcement and has authored multiple books.
Paulides was conducting research at Yosemite National Park when two rangers began following him. Approximately an hour and a half later, one ranger approached him off-duty at his room and initiated a conversation about missing people. The ranger knew Paulides had law enforcement experience and suggested someone should investigate these cases.
The ranger and his partner had worked at various national parks and observed a consistent pattern: after people went missing, there would be significant initial publicity and search activity, but within approximately 10 to 15 days, all attention would cease. The rangers filed Freedom of Information Act requests on their own agency and other cases but were unable to obtain the reports. They expressed concern that after the initial search period ends, nothing further happens.
Paulides believes the rangers suspected multiple issues: too many people going missing, insufficient follow-up investigations, and a general lack of concern from authorities. While a pragmatic view might attribute this to limited resources and the difficulty of searching vast wilderness areas where predators and animals consume remains, the rangers' primary focus was that too many disappearances occurred in short periods with no apparent follow-up.
