WEAPONIZED with Jeremy Corbell & George Knapp

Did President Trump authorize the military to shoot down UAP?Jeremy Corbell and George Knapp are joined by Liberation Times journalist Chris Sharp to examine reports of a possible UAP shootdown order, alleged luring operations at White Sands, and the government’s refusal to directly answer questions about what may be happening over sensitive test ranges.Chris walks through his reporting on White Sands, laser systems, suspected intelligence operations, and why repeated non-answers from both the Department of War and White House have kept the story alive.The conversation then moves into even more extraordinary territory: David Grusch’s new account of seeing alleged UFO recovery footage involving non-human bodies, reports of competing non-human factions, crash retrieval programs, and the growing question of what congressional staff, intelligence committees, and the White House already know.At some point, more stories and more videos are not enough.Check out Chris’ work at https://LiberationTimes.comGOT A…

PURSUE Release 6 puts more government UAP material into the public record, including the 1952 Tremonton footage, Edward Ruppelt audio, and documents tied to AAWSAP. Jeremy Corbell and George Knapp examine what the release confirms - and what remains missing. AAWSAP generated a far larger investigative archive, including thousands of pages of material that Robert Bigelow, Dr. James Lacatski and Dr. Colm Kelleher say was delivered to DIA but has yet to surface publicly. Jeremy and George also correct the claim that AAWSAP was simply a $22 million Skinwalker Ranch study, explain what the DIRDs actually were, examine research into reported biological effects from UAP encounters, and revisit Ruppelt’s finding that a significant percentage of UFO cases remained unresolved. The government is releasing more UFO history. The question is where the rest of it is. GOT A TIP?

The government says it has opened a protected lane for UAP whistleblowers. But what does that protection actually mean? Jeremy Corbell and George Knapp examine the new PURSUE UAP waiver and the questions left unanswered about who runs the program, what protections witnesses receive, whether Congress gets the information, and whether anything disclosed through the process can ever reach the public. After WEAPONIZED submitted more than 20 questions, a War Department official responded that there was nothing to provide beyond the original announcement and referred additional questions to the White House. The discussion expands into the risks faced by military and intelligence whistleblowers, previous experiences with AARO and ODNI, alleged legacy UAP programs, and a basic contradiction at the heart of the disclosure debate: if the government already knows where these programs are, why does it need whistleblowers to rediscover them? Jeremy and George also discuss the growing speculation surrounding a possible…

It’s easy to demand that UFO witnesses step forward. It’s considerably harder to live with what happens after they do.Senior Chief Alex Wiggins never intended to become part of UFO history.In February 2023, while serving aboard the USS Jackson off the coast of Southern California, Wiggins detected an unusual radar contact and went outside to investigate. What he says he witnessed was extraordinary: an unidentified object apparently emerging from the ocean, joining three similar Tic Tac-shaped objects, and then moving with them in coordinated formation. Navy sensors captured part of the encounter before all four objects rapidly departed.Wiggins eventually stepped forward, told his story publicly on WEAPONIZED, and testified before Congress in September 2025. The U.S. Navy supported his decision to testify, assisted with his travel, and backed one of its own as he described under oath what he and other sailors witnessed.But according to Wiggins, what happened afterward was very different.In this episode of…

After a much-needed summer break, Weaponized has returned with a broad view and deep dive into an astonishing flood of UFO-UAP related news. Journalists and social media personalities who cover UFO topics have dropped story after story based on increasingly dramatic events, including revelations about alien bodies, reverse engineering programs, secret briefings of the President, highly organized and reportedly successful "luring" operations conducted by the US military, and conflicting agendas among multiple federal agencies, including AARO, ODNI, CIA, and the FBI. Witnesses, whistleblowers, and the public must be wondering if this summer-long onslaught of UFO news is part of a plan to "flood the zone" with so many UFO-related claims that the general public might become bored with the subject altogether. In this episode, Jeremy and George recap recent developments, address the latest release of government UFO files and videos, evaluate what appears to be growing rifts between different federal agencies, and…

Public interest in UFO and ET matters has never been higher than it is right now. The primary focus of those who are demanding full disclosure and transparency seems to be on rumored crash retrievals, alien bodies, and reverse engineering programs. But what about the hundreds of thousands of people worldwide (perhaps millions) who say they have had direct, face to face close encounters with non-human beings? Do those profound experiences represent the true heart of the NHI conundrum, rather than the focus on nuts and bolts craft and who might successfully replicate the tech before anyone else does it? Whitley Strieber was already a highly successful novelist when he wrote a non-fiction account of his ongoing relationship with a non-human intelligence, beings who appeared to him in multiple forms over multiple years. The book was Communion. It sold millions of copies and had a profound impact on the UFO and ET subjects. The success of the book essentially liberated huge numbers of people around the world from…

The fired-up denizens of UFO World loudly and consistently call for UAP insiders to step forward. "Spill everything," they demand. "No one would dare mess with you." Such bravado is easy to make for observers who have no skin in the game and for whom UFO disclosure is a spectator sport viewed from the comfort and safety of a home laptop. But for actual whistleblowers and UAP witnesses, reality is much different. Those few insiders who've had the courage to step forward with UAP information know all too well the costs of transparency. Their lives are upended. They are subject to invasive surveillance, outrageous break-ins, legal threats and intimidation, and soul-crushing financial struggles caused by seemingly permanent unemployment. In this episode, recorded on stage at Contact in the Desert, the world's largest UFO-themed gathering, George and Jeremy hear the firsthand, real-life, deeply personal experiences of those who came forward with UAP information to tell what they know—and the price they are still…

Watch SLEEPING DOG movie here : https://geni.us/SleepingDog In this episode of WEAPONIZED, Jeremy and George go on the road to Oregon’s fabled UFO Fest in McMinnville and introduce a mystery guest to a live audience. For the first time, UFO whistleblower Dylan Borland speaks in detail about his life. Dylan has been through hell since stepping forward to tell what he knows about legacy UFO programs, including his riveting, sworn testimony before Congress in September 2025. What’s it been like for him and other whistleblowers who have revealed what they know? In a nutshell, it’s been miserable. As Borland revealed, he and his wife have struggled financially, had their phones tapped and computers hacked, been under surveillance, and remain under constant threat of possible prosecution… for treason, which carries a possible death sentence. Borland’s already-tenuous situation became worse after he agreed to give testimony to a new team created inside the Office of the Director of National Intelligence, ODNI. That…

Watch SLEEPING DOG movie here : https://geni.us/SleepingDog It took a mere 24 hours for a whopping 500 million people to find and dive into a new online repository of UFO files and videos. That number will likely double in a matter of days. The public response is even more amazing in light of a substantial pre-bunking campaign launched by the usual suspects on social media, along with legions of UAP newcomers who loudly proclaimed their profound outrage and disappointment before a single document or video was actually released. (Moaning, groaning, and digital caterwauling by UFO folk are essential and inevitable reactions to any and all new developments related to the topic.) The documents and videos released onto the DOW website do not constitute anything approaching full disclosure or total transparency. Anyone who expected to see crashed saucers or alien bodies on Day One of the UFO initiative must be either naive newcomers or devoted disruptors. The public was told in advance by Rep. Tim Burchett to…

The National Space Symposium annually attracts top experts in space science, including elite defense contractors, military and intelligence officials, cutting-edge technologists, and leading scientists. But the sprawling Colorado gathering had never hosted a panel of UFO witnesses and insiders, until this year. Days ago, a remarkable group of respected voices from UFO World was welcomed to the symposium to discuss the importance of honesty, transparency, and serious evaluation of UAP-related research. Speakers included David Grusch, the veteran intelligence officer and whistleblower who spent much of his government career in the space sector; Rep. Eric Burlison, one of Congress’s leading advocates for UFO transparency; Mike Gold, a seasoned space industry executive who testified before Congress about the UAP enigma; and Rod Roddenberry, whose family name is synonymous with space exploration and the search for extraterrestrial intelligence. The panel was organized by the WEAPONIZED team, which recorded the…

A pair of brilliant intelligence analysts working for the DIA circa 2006-2007 came up with an idea to design the largest, most audacious, and most secretive UFO program ever funded by the US government. It was dubbed AAWSAP, and the public never knew it existed until 7 years after it ended. In its 27-month existence, it created the world's largest UFO data warehouse, a stack of more than 100 thick, highly detailed reports filled with hard data about UFO cases and incidents, as well as rigorous, original investigations into connections between UFO incidents and paranormal phenomena. The two instigators of AAWSAP came to believe that paranormal events were not a subset of UFO cases, but rather, the opposite. UFOs were - and are - a small slice under a larger paranormal umbrella, according to nuclear engineer, rocket scientist, and DIA analyst Dr. James Lacatski, who was appointed director of AAWSAP and who continued to rely on his fellow innovator, Jay Stratton, who later became head of the UAP Task Force. In…

This episode of WEAPONIZED features a detailed follow-up conversation with whistleblower Matt Brown, who expands on his assertions about a classified UAP-related effort known as “Immaculate Constellation”. Brown explains that the program is not simply an AI tool but a layered operation that collects, filters, and compartmentalizes UAP data from across government systems. According to him, its structure allows information to be routed into restricted channels while leaving much of the broader defense and intelligence community - intensionally and by design - in the dark of its full nature, capability and scope. The interview shifts into Brown’s personal experience after coming forward. He describes losing his government job, facing financial hardship, and enduring significant emotional strain, all while receiving little institutional support. Brown recounts his meeting with officials from an ODNI mandated UAP investigative effort under Tulsi Gabbard’s DIG (Director’s Initiative Group), which he initially was…

Congressman Eric Burlison joins WEAPONIZED to discuss his first classified site visit, the push for UAP disclosure, and what he now believes after seeing sensitive information firsthand. In this wide-ranging conversation with Jeremy Corbell and George Knapp, Rep. Burlison addresses reports about a recent visit to a secure facility, why he’s being cautious about what he reveals publicly, and whether he believes the government is withholding critical information about UAP and non-human technology. He also discusses the credibility of key whistleblowers, ongoing congressional efforts to obtain hidden files, and what comes next in the fight for transparency. Burlison speaks candidly about the limits of access, the realities of navigating classified programs, and why he says the search for answers is far from over. GOT A TIP?

Lenval Logan spent 20+ years in the US Air Force as an all-source intelligence analyst and became a key member of the UAP Task Force under Jay Stratton. In this exclusive interview, he confirms what George and Jeremy have long suggested: the best UAP evidence has never been shown to the public. Logan analyzes the Syria UAP video that he personally requested analysis for during his time with the Task Force. His assessment: “This met all the parameters of a UAP. To the best of my knowledge, yes - instantaneous acceleration, no doubt in my book.” When Jeremy asks if he’s seen better footage, Logan’s answer is stunning: “Yes.” He reveals how the intelligence community analyzes UAP cases, what happened when Lue Elizondo and Jay Stratton first walked into his secure facility, and why none of the original Task Force members were brought into AARO. Logan describes seeing a diamond-shaped object outside his aircraft window in 1990 - identical to a craft later photographed as the Calvine UFO. He explains how AWACS…

The UFO public had high hopes when Congress created AARO to investigate UFO/USO/UAP incidents and report findings to both Congress and the public. Years later, AARO is widely viewed as a complete failure. Its first report was riddled with factual errors and typos. Its first director revealed himself to be a thin-skinned, diehard UFO skeptic, hardly an impartial investigator. Witnesses and whistleblowers say AARO ignored or belittled their testimony. As for transparency, AARO has released very few findings, even fewer UAP images, and a second report, as required by law, is many months overdue. The idea that a small office inside the Pentagon could rigorously investigate its own parent organization - the Department of War - seems preposterous on its face. But has AARO found even a single UFO incident it's been unable to debunk? The answer is yes. British journalist Chris Sharp, editor and publisher of Liberation Times, has demonstrated a remarkable ability to break story after story about UFO matters in both…

In this episode of WEAPONIZED, Jeremy and George do some globe-hopping in their coverage of UFO-related developments, starting in Austin, Texas, where UAP luminaries gathered in a classy movie theater to chat about recent developments and were thrilled by the appearance of a surprise guest: the one and only Bob Lazar. Also discussed: the demolition of debunker arguments regarding an astonishing UAP incident, as recorded by an American Reaper drone flying near the Jordanian-Syrian border in 2021. To the astonishment of no one, the U.S. government’s singular spokesperson for all matters related to UAP was blissfully ignorant of the case (and/or purposefully dodgy and unhelpful), thus once again demonstrating the Pentagon’s deep and abiding commitment to UAP transparency, such as it is. Also mentioned: an historic and perilous intrusion of Papoose Lake (S-4) by a courageous but unauthorized investigator, and the ambitious plans of Rep. Burlison, who says he’s received permission from the White House to…

In 2021, an MQ-9 Reaper drone, while patrolling the skies over the Jordanian-Syrian border, caught a glimpse of an unknown object. The controller of the sensor platform eventually managed to get a lock on the object, but when they did, the UAP seemingly mocked the high-tech Reaper and displayed astonishing speed - akin to instantaneous acceleration - one of the “Five Observables” used by our military to identify genuine UAP. Military aviators have described similar acceleration they’ve seen with their own eyes. Now, for the first time, video recorded by U.S. intelligence operatives of a genuine UAP displaying mind-boggling acceleration is being made public. In this episode of WEAPONIZED, Jeremy and George invite friend and colleague Marik von Rennenkampff back to the program to review the unique UAP video made public last week and to meticulously analyze a new, never-before-seen piece of footage of a mystery object designated by the military as a UAP. See the footage for yourselves and hear Marik’s…

In this episode of WEAPONIZED, George Knapp and Jeremy Corbell delve into the long-secret world of Soviet-era UFO programs, drawing on Knapp’s groundbreaking investigative work in Russia during the 1990s. Amid the openness of Glasnost and Perestroika, Knapp traveled to Russia twice, securing unprecedented access to high-ranking military officials, scientists, and classified documents that revealed extensive Soviet UFO investigations, programs which U.S. intelligence believes are still underway. Key revelations include the SETKA program - a decade-long, nationwide effort led by Colonel Boris Sokolov to collect thousands of UFO reports from military units - and Thread 3, a sophisticated analysis initiative aimed at reverse-engineering UFO technology for military advantage. Knapp recounts dramatic incidents documented in the files, such as UFOs hovering over a Ukrainian ICBM base in 1982, where they allegedly entered launch codes and temporarily activated nuclear missiles. The discussion highlights parallels…

Few military pilots have a career as distinguished as that of Lt. Colonel Ryan Bodenheimer. He flew 70 combat missions in Middle East conflict zones, was selected to join the elite Air Force Thunderbirds team, and spent hundreds of additional hours in the air as a commercial pilot. Until last summer, Bodenheimer, whose call sign is “Neo”, remained silent about his aerial encounters with UAP. Now, he feels like the stigma attached to UFO sightings by aviators has subsided to the point where he can share details about a staggering four different incidents involving strange objects he encountered in the skies, including one close call. In this episode of WEAPONIZED, Bodenheimer opens up to Jeremy and George about the objects he saw, what they might be, and why aerodynamics seemingly had nothing to do with their design. He also mentions his highly popular YouTube channel, “Max Afterburner”, which has half a million subscribers. CHECK OUT RYAN’S WORK : ⁠https://YouTube.com/@MaxAfterburnerUSA⁠ GOT A TIP? Reach out…

James Fox is a dog with a bone, as obsessed as Captain Ahab’s in his pursuit of Moby Dick, as dogged as Indiana Jones’s quest for the Holy Grail. Fox, one of the best-known documentary filmmakers to ever focus on the UFO mystery, has spent 14 long years investigating an astounding series of events often referred to as ‘the Brazilian Roswell.’ Fox's 2022 film “Moment of Contact” revealed powerful testimony from an impressive array of independent witnesses in and around Varginha, Brazil, some of whom saw the craft, the crash, the large deployment of military personnel, and the capture of at least one of the injured crew members who fled from the disabled UFO. The being was described as a bizarre, oily-skinned, nonhuman entity, one that seemed intelligent, injured, and frightened. In the years since the release of that film, Fox has returned to Brazil multiple times to seek out the rumored medical team which met, treated, and communicated with the alien life form. Now, he is unveiling the rest of the story. In…

Anyone with an interest in any and all evidence related to alien species, non-human intelligence, or UFO/UAP is likely familiar with claims of mummified alien remains. Proponents say the remains have been buried in South America for hundreds of years and have been conclusively examined and studied by scientists and medical experts - and are legit. But many of the claims made are muddled at best, and persons involved in bringing the mummies forward have been caught fabricating evidence. For the last few years, WEAPONIZED co-hosts Jeremy Corbell and George Knapp have followed the controversy, as reported in various news reports, but decided to leave the topic to those who have the expertise needed to formally investigate the claims and the mummies themselves. If the three-fingered mummies turned out to be non-human or even extraterrestrial in origin, it would be a massively important finding that would boost the credibility of those who argue that non-human intelligence has been present on Earth for hundreds…

2025 passed by at the speed of a comet. What, if any, progress was made in the goal of UFO transparency? WEAPONIZED found itself in the thick of the battle. During the past 12 months, our podcast introduced to the world whistleblowers and witnesses whose statements and testimony helped move the needle - Matthew Brown, Dylan Borland, Alexandro Wiggins, Jeff Nuccitelli, among others - unveiled and confirmed UFO/UAP/USO images and videos that were previously hidden inside government servers; heard from former insiders turned authors Dr. James Lacatski, Dr. Jacques Vallée, Jay Stratton, Col. Phil Corso; assisted and interviewed members of Congress including Representatives Luna, Burchett, and Burlison; and gave a global platform to journalists, investigators, and content creators including Ralph Blumenthal, Richard Dolan, David Paulides, Marik von Rennenkampff, Dustin Slaughter, Chris Sharpe; and provided much-needed context to ongoing stories, including troubling incursions by mystery drones, the apparent…

Dr. Jacques Vallée seems to have a talent for being in the right place at the right time. He was a newcomer at a French observatory when he saw evidence of a UFO incident being tossed aside, and it ignited a lifelong interest in the phenomenon. He was at Northwestern University working on a precursor version of what evolved into the internet, earned his PhD in what we now know as artificial intelligence. And he was on the ground in Silicon Valley, guiding investments in companies and ideas that revolutionized modern technology. Throughout the different phases of his life, he’s maintained an abiding interest in the UFO mystery. His work inspired the Lacombe character in Steven Spielberg’s monumental film Close Encounters of the Third Kind. Vallée worked hand in hand with Dr. J. Allen Hynek during and after the infamous Project Blue Book program, has written the most influential books in the history of the UFO subject, was directly involved with research that led to classified projects to train remote viewers,…

Opponents of UFO/UAP transparency have worked overtime to make life miserable for members of Congress who have demanded answers and honesty. Those House members who have been at the forefront of efforts to get straight answers about hidden programs and unauthorized spending have encountered fierce opposition, warnings to back off, and a brick wall of outrageous secrecy from agencies they are constitutionally authorized to oversee. Is the all-too-brief era of public hearings into UFO truth finished? Those murky agencies - the architects of the secrecy - certainly hope so. Three of the principal champions for UAP transparency in the House admit that more hearings into UFO matters are unlikely to produce the breakthroughs the public expects. But if future hearings are off the table, what’s next? In this extraordinary episode of WEAPONIZED, Jeremy Corbell and George Knapp are honored to speak with three transparency warriors - Representatives Anna Paulina Luna, Tim Burchett, and Eric Burlison - to hear about the…

Few, if any, people are comfortable with the idea that there appears to be a connection between UFO sightings and the appearance of supposedly non-existent creatures, including Sasquatch. UFO investigators and organizations have largely shunned cases in which both UFOs and cryptic beings show up in the same locations at the same time. And the Bigfoot research groups are equally appalled to address why their flesh-and-blood but elusive primate species often vanish into thin air, as if sucked up into the sky. But the links between UFO craft and Sasquatch are getting harder to ignore. This week marks the 20th anniversary of Hunt for the Skinwalker, a book co-written by Dr. Colm Kelleher and George Knapp. It documented the strange encounters that had been reported and investigated by the NIDS organization (National Institute for Discovery Science) at a place now known as Skinwalker Ranch. That book inspired the creation of a secretive DIA program known as AAWSAP, which did NOT shy away from the pursuit of…

In the 80-year coverup of the UFO mystery, there have been a handful of pivotal moments where public interest in the topic gained enough momentum to threaten the iron-clad, intractable code of silence adopted by military authorities and intelligence agencies. The 1952 overflights of Washington DC, the insider revelations unveiled by Major Donald Keyhoe, the outrage emanating from Project Blue Book’s ridiculous “swamp gas” type explanations, and the 2017 New York Times report about secret UFO programs and the Tic Tac incident each inspired demands for truth and transparency. But in each of those and other episodes, public interest eventually waned, in part because of clever cover stories, media manipulation, and debunking efforts by civilian “experts” who willingly espoused the themes crafted by secret keepers within the CIA, US Air Force, and a handful of defense contractors. Right now, as 2025 comes to a close, another opportunity has arrived. A blockbuster film, Age of Disclosure, has broken through the…

In this episode, Jeremy and George rewind and review the astonishing bombshells dropped by Dr. James Lacatski, former director of AAWSAP, the largest acknowledged UFO investigation ever funded by the US government. Lacatski, a career DIA intelligence analyst and rocket scientist, recently released his third book based on the voluminous files and reports compiled during the groundbreaking AAWSAP efforts. Among the highlights dissected in this episode: Does Lacatski’s role as the counterintelligence officer for AAWSAP diminish his credibility? Did he reveal any hints about where the government has stashed the retrieved UFO that he personally witnessed? Is it likely he would be willing to share information with Congress? Why he considers AARO to be a disinformation and counterintelligence program rather than a UFO investigation? Why he decided to step forward to spill the beans, and what role Senator Harry Reid played in that decision. The co-hosts also note the wide range of reactions to the Lacatski interview…

Dr. James Lacatski, a veteran intelligence analyst for the Defense Intelligence Agency, has just released a new book which documents astonishing encounters with highly advanced UFOs, strange creatures, so-called hitchhikers, and counterintelligence operatives determined to thwart or discredit classified investigations into unexplained phenomena. In PART 2 of our interview, Lacatski discussed the slow pace of disclosure, efforts by unknown government entities to discredit and discourage official investigation, his own encounters with the unknown, current theories about UFO crashes and recovered bodies, and whether the famous TIC TAC objects were one of “ours”. As George and Jeremy have learned over the years, Lacatski is a notoriously tough interview subject. In this revealing conversation, he goes further than ever before on a wide range of current issues and mysteries.

In this explosive PART ONE, Jeremy Corbell and George Knapp sit down with Dr. James Lacatski - former DIA intelligence officer and shadowy architect behind the Pentagon's classified Advanced Aerospace Weapons System Applications Program (AAWSAP) and Kona Blue UFO programs - for a no-holds-barred "testimony" he'd deliver straight to Congress. For the first time since his explosive revelations two years ago, Lacatski unleashes revelations that shatter the official narrative: deliberate disinformation campaigns by AARO, the shocking truth behind Kona Blue's "cancellation" (spoiler: it's alive in ways you won't believe), and his authorized bombshell on a recovered UFO craft where U.S. teams breached the hull to uncover propulsion mysteries that defy earthly physics. From Skinwalker Ranch's rogue paranormal hunts to Senator Reid's secret election fears stalling funding, Lacatski exposes counterintelligence ops targeting whistleblowers, the futility of congressional hearings, and why his 1,200 pages of…

How quickly can the U.S. military spring into action to recover - then cover up - the crash of exotic technology that falls from the sky? The answer is - pretty damned fast. An example of this just played out in, of all places, the outskirts of Area 51, the top-secret Air Force facility in the Nevada desert. On September 23rd, an unknown aerial object slammed into the desert floor on public land a few miles outside the boundary of Area 51. Within minutes, the entire base sprang into action, a large swath of public land was cordoned off by armed military security teams, and a cryptic cover story was concocted. In this episode of WEAPONIZED, Jeremy and George share some of the details of the crash retrieval operation and how civilian researchers in Nevada were able to collect enough information to know that the Air Force explanation was full of holes - containing not only outright falsehoods but also a healthy smattering of disinformation. Also discussed in this episode: the emergence of Grokipedia - a more…

Is UFO Disclosure dead? Join investigative journalists Jeremy Corbell and George Knapp for a rollicking ride through the wild world of UAPs, where Las Vegas ties clash with cosmic ties, and “Disclosure is dead" headlines get a much-needed autopsy. Is the post-2017 truth train derailed, or just rerouted through stubborn congressional hearings, shadowy intel whispers, and unyielding whistleblowers? The duo dissects Carl Nell's bombshell, skewers the flimsy "solved" narrative behind SUV-sized drone swarms over military bases, and dives into Avi Loeb's interstellar interloper (hint : it's probably not the alien armada you've been warned about). From Bill Maher's surprise UAP shoutout to Dr. Beatriz Villarroel's peer-reviewed bombshell of pre-Sputnik "ghost satellites", Corbell and Knapp unpack the week's weirder edges: Bigfoot saucer-spotting at Skinwalker Ranch, shadow beings lurking in secure silos, and why credible witnesses whisper about "fast-forward" entities zipping from crashed craft. Plus, a cinematic…

Nearly a year ago, mysterious drones of unknown origin began buzzing military bases and other sensitive sites, mostly in the eastern U.S. They swooped in out of nowhere, hovered and maneuvered over airfields, didn't try to hide their presence, and could not be tracked when they abruptly departed. Entire U.S. bases were shut down, including Langley and Wright-Patterson AFB. Similar incursions were reported at joint bases in the UK, where personnel deployed advanced anti-drone tech - with no effect. Now, several European countries are experiencing similarly troubling incursions. In recent weeks, mystery drones have caused fear and confusion in Norway, Sweden, Denmark, Germany, and Belgium. Governments suspect the drones are being controlled by Russia, though there isn't a shred of evidence to prove that, and these drones cannot be tracked or brought down. In this episode of WEAPONIZED, Jeremy and George are joined by British journalist Chris Sharp, editor and founder of the Liberation Times, whose insightful…

Before the congressional Secrets Task Force decided to call Dylan Borland to testify publicly at a hearing in September, another witness was slated to appear. In that same slot. Who is he? What was he prepared to say? And why did he suddenly decline to come forward? In this episode of WEAPONIZED, Jeremy and George track down the mystery witness and hear his story for the first time in public. This military veteran had a close-up view of a huge and astonishing craft as it sat hovering above a runway at Eglin Air Force Base, surrounded by other military personnel. Was it one of ours... or one of theirs?

In this explosive PART 2 episode of WEAPONIZED, UAP whistleblower Dylan Borland reveals specific details about the legacy programs and the extreme measures that are taken against potential whistleblowers. Borland was one of five witnesses to testify to Congress in early September, but there were limits on what he could say in an open hearing. In this wide-ranging interview with Jeremy Corbell and George Knapp, Borland says he learned of an ongoing plan to shoot down UFOs, some of which resembled "flying propane tanks", about the methods used to hide UFO legacy programs outside the reach of Congress, and reveals his interactions with other personnel who worked for those hidden programs. Borland and others were kept in a bureaucratic netherworld where their secrecy was maintained through intimidation, excessive surveillance, death threats, and economic blackmail. They didn't want to stay but could not leave. NOTE : If you missed it, catch up on PART 1 here...…

Of the five witnesses to testify before Congress and its Secrets Task Force in early September, one stood out as a legitimate whistleblower. Dylan Borland did not merely serve his country in the U.S. Air Force; he also held a top-secret clearance and conducted highly lethal work for an intelligence agency, work that came to weigh heavily on his mind. In this PART 1 episode of WEAPONIZED, Borland reveals the full story of how his desire to work for the FBI led him to the Air Force, and then to specialized work for a large defense contractor, though the actual work was carried out at the direction of a particular intelligence agency, a job from which he could not escape. In part one of a highly detailed and revelatory conversation, Borland tells Jeremy Corbell and George Knapp how his security clearance was manipulated to keep him trapped - and quiet about UAP technology he witnessed with his own eyes. Threats, intimidation, and economic blackmail became parts of his everyday life. NOTE : You can watch PART 2…

Would another UFO hearing before Congress change anything? Skeptics and sourpusses did their best to diminish the committee and demean the witnesses days before the latest hearing in front of the "Secrets" Task Force even convened, and social media poobahs engaged in their usual caterwauling leading up to the D.C. event, but it appears the critics were forced to eat their whiny words. Three men who have had exemplary careers with the U.S. military (one of them still active) spoke under oath about unknown craft they encountered while on active duty, and verified the very real risks that witnesses, especially whistleblowers, face for daring to speak the truth. The hearing, chaired by Rep. Anna Paulina Luna, featured a lively, deadly-serious discussion about UAP encounters, a back-and-forth conversation that continued for multiple hours. The witnesses at the 2025 hearing included Jeff Nuccetelli, Alexandro Wiggins, Dylan Borland, and George Knapp, and seated with that group was potential witness Matthew Brown…

Are close encounters with UFO/UAP technology dangerous for humans? The answer appears to be yes. A recently released study which reviewed decades of cases and research is raising important questions about how science and medicine have largely ignored the stories told by victims whose injuries occurred because they were in the proximity of advanced but unknown technology, and in at least one incident, the injuries appear to have been inflicted intentionally. In this episode of Weaponized, Jeremy and George are joined by UK physicist John Priestland, founder of the Unhidden Foundation, created to understand the nature of injuries caused by close encounter incidents, including often-serious physical, physiological, and psychological consequences. Priestland shares details about where and when such injuries occurred and why medical professionals are largely not interested in the cause of injuries to their patients. The paper his organization released days ago builds on research conducted by the DIA during its…

Inspired by the sworn testimony of UFO whistleblowers, Congress is grappling with legislation designed to force the disclosure of materials, craft, and bodies allegedly collected from crash sites. The current wave of whistleblowers is not the first to spill secrets about UFO crashes and reverse engineering efforts by military contractors. In 1997, a high-ranking Army Intelligence official Colonel Phillip Corso shocked the world with his account about a Pentagon office charged with dribbling bits and pieces of alien technology out to major corporations and labs. The tech, Corso said, came from crashes near Roswell New Mexico. Corso's book "The Day After Roswell" became a huge bestseller in 1997, the 50th anniversary of the Roswell events. But five years before he released a book, long before he was known to anyone in the UFO field, Corso told his story to George Knapp. Corso also sat down for two lengthy interviews conducted by personnel associated with NIDS, the National Institute for Discovery Science. The…

As Congress prepares for an upcoming public hearing, "UFO World" is inherently impatient when it comes to getting straight answers. Those who follow the topic want the full truth and they want it now. For potential witnesses and whistleblowers, however, the risks of testifying to Congress about secret programs and military deceptions are all too real. In this compelling episode, George Knapp and Jeremy Corbell explore the daunting dangers that confront any insider who wants to tell Congress what they know. Attorney and lifelong UFO researcher Richard Beckwith, who has recently released a history of excessive secrecy and how it has affected the search for truth about UAP, explains why any witness who's held a formal security clearance must be very careful about spilling secrets, even to Congress. There are legal risks, but also significant real life consequences, even if the witnesses are never prosecuted for testifying. Also in this episode, aerospace executive and NASA consultant Mike Gold reveals the…

What looms on the UFO horizon? Will the upcoming Congressional hearing break new ground? Are hands-on witnesses and whistleblowers too intimidated to step forward? In this episode of WEAPONIZED, three longtime researchers and commentators on all manner of UAP issues return to the podcast. They were once known as the “Young Guns of Ufology,” though they’re not quite as young as when they started out. Joe Murgia (UFO Joe), Danny Silva (The Silva Record), and Ryan Robbins (UFO Jesus) join Jeremy Corbell and George Knapp to discuss current issues, problems, and roadblocks in the UFO conversation. What would truly constitute “disclosure”? Is Congress following the guidance of newly appointed Congressional advisor David Grusch, whose testimony at a 2023 hearing electrified the subject? What do we know about the potential witnesses for the next hearing slated for September? And where, exactly, are the “goodies” stashed? Is the public ever going to see undeniable evidence? This conversation explores the…

In this wide-ranging episode of Weaponized, Jeremy and George share insights into ongoing preparations for another UFO hearing scheduled for early September. Members of Congress and senior staffers have met with or spoken to several potential witnesses, including some with first-hand experiences of advanced technology observed at U.S. military bases or defense contractor sites. However, many of these eyewitnesses remain reluctant to step forward, fearing retaliation. Influential figures in Washington are pushing for legislative actions to reassure potential whistleblowers, while others, including well-funded defense contractors and intelligence agencies, are equally determined to block transparency efforts. Who holds the upper hand? In addition, FOIA warrior Dustin Slaughter returns to Weaponized with another stunning UFO case extracted from a reluctant Department of Defense (DoD). GOT A TIP?

In this episode of WEAPONIZED, Jeremy and George sit down with legendary comedian and actor Dave Foley, who opens up about his personal UFO sighting and evolving stance on the phenomenon. From poking fun at alien lore to being “balls deep” in the topic, Foley shares how one unforgettable encounter changed everything. The trio dissects the recent wave of UFO disinformation, whistleblower suppression, and the media's complicit role in burying the truth. They also take aim at the infamous Wall Street Journal hit piece, discuss the repercussions for whistleblowers, and expose the myth that it’s all just elaborate military "hazing." With humor and insight, Foley reflects on his journey, the psychological barriers to acceptance, and the ongoing battle for transparency in the face of government pushback. GOT A TIP?

Nearly 80 years into the UFO mystery, the U.S. government’s knowledge of a non-human presence is as murky as ever. Despite seeming progress in recent years - fueled by leaks, revelations, Congressional interest, and insider testimony - the Department of Defense and Intelligence Community have once again muddied the waters by proclaiming that most UFO/UAP reports are the result of hand-crafted disinformation programs aimed not only at the public, but also at Congress and our own military. In this episode of Weaponized, recorded on stage at the McMinnville UFO Fest, George Knapp and Jeremy Corbell discuss the future of “disclosure” - how likely it is, what form it might take, and how we might all participate in moving it forward.

In April 2016, a surveillance platform operated by the CIA flew over an active conflict zone and encountered an unknown object, now known as the “Mosul Orb” UAP. The city of Mosul, Iraq, was a hostile environment at the time. The spy platform recorded a four-second video clip of the unknown metallic sphere, and to date, the U.S. military and assorted intelligence agencies have been unable to identify the object. It was - and still is - described as a UAP in classified servers. In the very first episode of WEAPONIZED, a still frame from the brief video was released, setting off an intense debate about what it might be. Pentagon spokespersons did their best to downplay or explain what their own analysts said was inexplicable. Now, thanks to the diligence of journalist Dustin Slaughter, the full video clip is being made public. How did he get it, and what might this mean for the future of UAP transparency? In this episode of WEAPONIZED, Jeremy and George revisit the Mosul Orb UAP case, unveil the full video…

The gloves are off. In this no-holds-barred episode of WEAPONIZED, Jeremy and George dismantle one of the most brazen propaganda efforts in recent memory - The Wall Street Journal’s calculated hit piece on the UFO issue and the brave individuals exposing it. What was pitched as serious journalism quickly revealed itself as an orchestrated campaign of disinformation, one which seems to have been designed and dictated by one man - a bitter, thin-skinned scientist who seems to have despised the topic he was assigned to investigate but is incapable of cutting the cord. The Journal’s first article was loaded with false claims, recycled debunkery, and distortions lifted straight from the Pentagon’s denial playbook. When those lies were challenged by military veterans, whistleblowers, and researchers - with facts and receipts - the Journal didn’t correct a single word. Instead, they doubled down with a second piece, this time personally targeting and attempting to discredit the scientists, intelligence officers,…

Are all UFO/UAP encounters the result of deception and disinformation created by the U.S. government? Such claims have been made many times in the past 75 years and have recently been resurrected from the dusty archives of the DoD’s UFO Library. In this episode of WEAPONIZED, Jeremy Corbell and George Knapp discuss the latest attempts by former Defense Department insiders to cast doubt on all UFO cases, incidents, photos, videos, witnesses, and even the testimony of future whistleblowers who have not yet gone public. Can journalists pierce the veil of secrecy and lies? Sometimes. One way to circumvent psyops and outrageous cover stories is to present compelling evidence that the public can evaluate for itself. A video recorded by a military sensor over a conflict zone has been hidden for years. The huge disc-shaped mystery object was seen as it slipped in and out of clouds, abruptly changed direction, and was labeled by the military as a “UAP.” This is the first time the public has been able to see the…

Former AARO director Sean Kirkpatrick is still carrying a torch for his lost love. Although his tenure at the UFO agency was brief, the lovesick Dr. Kirkpatrick can’t let go of his former paramour - flying saucers. In the first part of a multi-segment propaganda piece, Dr. K. unleashed his pent-up fury about those sexy flying machines in a preposterous fusillade of invective and falsehoods, telling the Wall Street Journal that every UFO incident in the last 78 years was actually secret U.S. technology. Kirkpatrick (and his AARO successor) admitted that the DOD has lied to the American public, misled Congress, and deceived high-ranking military officers over decades. So, after three-quarters of a century of fibs, disinfo, and outright prevarications, should we now accept the latest round of lies as truth? Oh sure. In this episode of Weaponized, Jeremy Corbell and George Knapp respond to the laughable - and sad - attempt to further muddy the UFO waters. Also, the podcast is joined by two esteemed observers of…

Jeremy and George are working to bring something special to you. In the meantime, we recommend revisiting one of our first and most significant interviews. Jay Stratton has been a pivotal figure in the creation and direction of three government UFO programs: AAWSAP, AATIP, and the UAP Task Force. Stratton personally conducted the first investigation of the 'TIC TAC' UFO incident, and he led the effort to rebrand UFO cases as UAP. Jay Stratton's very first on-camera interview regarding his UAP work was with WEAPONIZED. GOT A TIP?

This past week, Americans were captivated by the enigma of Non-Human Intelligence (NHI). In Washington, a planned UAP hearing was abruptly canceled, but behind closed doors, key lawmakers received explosive briefings on secret programs and ongoing cover-ups. With an assist from noted whistleblower David Grusch, a small cadre of expert witnesses fueled these high-stakes discussions. Meanwhile in Oregon, thousands gathered to watch a spectacular parade of bizarre creatures, hammerhead aliens, marching musicians from other galaxies, and noted speakers as part of the McMinnville UFO Fest, which is likely the most colorful gathering of its kind in the world. On social media, our three-part interview with Matthew Brown about Immaculate Constellation and other secrets continued to reverberate and spark debates among UFO luminaries. What lingering questions remain about Brown? In this new episode of WEAPONIZED, Jeremy and George address Matt Brown’s claims, answer many of the questions that have surfaced, and…
