The beloved UFC color commentator recently spoke about the appearance of the northern lights in unusual locations. Rogan asked Overton, who lives in Utah, if the place got to see the dancing lights. Although the JRE guest revealed he hadn’t seen it himself, his daughter had sent photos.

Soon after, Rogan revealed the dangers hiding behind the pretty front of those lights. Rogan saidWell, we knew about it. We knew they were coming because there are two different types of radiation that come from those storms when they have these large coronal mass ejections. One of them will reach us in a few seconds. I think those are gamma waves. Is that it, reaching us in a few seconds? And then it takes days before the second one gets us. And that’s the one that takes out your cell phone towers and screws up communications and shuts down the network, and if it gets big enough, we’re really doomed.

The solar storm, while beautiful, could have been disastrous. These are the consequences of the geomagnetic storms that occur on the surface of the sun due to the tightly packed magnetic field lines. This causes a boatload of plasma to erupt from the yellow dwarf’s surface. This in turn disrupts the Earth’s magnetic field, which can be observed as the Aurora Borealis.

Rogan has often shown a fascination with it everything that has to do with space. He has spoken about aliens and UFOs on many occasions. However, when discussing solar storms, one can rarely skip a discussion of the Carrington event. It was a major solar storm that affected the entire world.
