I heard that vs I have heard that

Both "I heard that" and "I have heard that" are correct, but they are used in slightly different contexts. "I heard that" is used when referring to a past event or information that was recently acquired, while "I have heard that" is used when referring to something you have heard at some point in the past, but not necessarily recently.
