Joe Murgia Shares Alleged John Herrington Alien Remarks

Joe Murgia’s post shares alien remarks allegedly attributed to John Herrington and points readers toward Ben Schreckinger’s reporting. The quotation is not a verified admission by Herrington.

In Paradigm’s September 17 article, Schreckinger reports that Herrington denied Brent Friedman’s account of an alien-related briefing. Herrington acknowledged arranging a cross-country car delivery but said his son-in-law drove it. Friedman told Paradigm he stands by his story. Schreckinger says he interviewed Herrington late in 2025; publication of that interview in September 2026 should not be mistaken for a new admission.
