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

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

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

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,

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

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

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.

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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,

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

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

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

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,

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,

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

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

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

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

In this episode of WEAPONIZED Jeremy and George revisit one of the most significant moments in UFO popular culture - the STORM AREA 51 event.

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

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

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,

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

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

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

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? Reach out to

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

UFO Whistleblower Matthew Brown has words of advice - and caution - for the public, for Congress, and for other potential whistleblowers. In the conclusion of his massive interview with WEAPONIZED, Brown reveals how public perceptions about UAP issues are carefully managed, how "fear, greed, and willful ignorance" are employed as weapons by those who keep the secrets, and why now is the time for other insiders to step forward and tell what they know. Brown authored the Immaculate Constellation report, that was submitted to Congress months ago, based on evidence

Why would anyone voluntarily endanger their career, reputation, freedom, and their life by stepping forward as a UFO whistleblower? For former Department off Defense and State Department analyst Matthew Brown, it was an excruciating decision. Brown tried to follow the rules and the law by reporting what he had learned about an unacknowledged special access program dubbed Immaculate Constellation. He says he repeatedly tried to bring it to the attention of superiors but found himself blocked at every step. In Part One of an exclusive interview with Jeremy and George, Brown

In 2024, an enigmatic term began to percolate among a small group of UAP investigators. The name was "Immaculate Constellation." Anyone who dared to even utter that term would put their own lives at risk, according to persons familiar with the program. "ImCon”, the abbreviated version of the term, was brought to the attention of Congress. Members were told it was a cover term for an Unacknowledged Special Access Program housed within the executive branch, specifically under the control of the White House. ImCon was supposedly a highly secretive program that

Crew members aboard the USS Jackson witnessed an astonishing encounter with four unknown objects off the coast of Southern California in February 2023, and now, one of those eyewitnesses is stepping forward. In this episode, Jeremy and George are joined by an active-duty Navy service member who describes in vivid detail seeing a glowing, Tic-Tac-shaped object emerge from the ocean. The transmedium craft then linked up with three other Tic Tacs which subsequently zipped away in tight formation. The objects were detected on multiple sensors and a video was recorded by

The 2004 encounter between U.S. Navy aviators and a mysterious TIC TAC shaped craft off the coast of Southern California was perhaps the most consequential UFO incident in history, but it wasn't just a one-off. Turns out, classic designs such as the SR-71, the Corvette Sting Ray, or a pair of Wayfarers never go out of style. Whoever was piloting TIC TACs back in 2004 is apparently still cruising the waters off SoCal. In this episode of WEAPONIZED, Jeremy and George unveil a never-before-seen video recorded by crew members of the

Vandenberg Space Force Base has a long and storied history of spectacular missile and rocket launches and has been essential to some of the most advanced defense technologies ever tested and developed by the U.S. military and its contractors. Vandenberg has also been the site of many of the most dramatic UFO incursions in history. In this episode of Weaponized, Jeremy and George are joined by an Air Force veteran, Jeff Nuccetelli, who spent years at Vandenberg as a military police officer and who witnessed and investigated spectacular but chilling incursions

A new documentary film about the UFO/UAP mystery debuted this month, with testimony from nearly three dozen scientists and government officials about the need for transparency and honesty. But in spite of the overwhelming and unified message expressed in the film, major media outlets continue to insult, muddle, or ignore the topic, as well as insult the insiders who take it seriously. In this episode of Weaponized, George and Jeremy mention the premiere of "The Age of Disclosure" film in the context of hostile or incomplete media reports, in particular, a

In the second half of an extended interview Jeremy and George are joined by New York Times journalist Ralph Blumenthal, co-author of the game-changing 2017 UFO story. The trio dive deep into the life of Dr. John Mack, the Pulitzer Prize-winning Harvard psychiatrist who dared to take alien abduction seriously - and paid a steep price for it. The journalists unpack Mack’s desperate fight to preserve his tenure during a secret Harvard 'inquisition' in the 1990s, his courageous expedition to the African town of Ruwa, Zimbabwe, to investigate the astonishing 1994

In the eight decades since the modern UFO era began, few dates are as monumentally important as Dec. 16, 2017. That is when The New York Times published a blockbuster story about a secretive government investigation into alarming and ongoing encounters between U.S. military units and unidentified machines of unknown origin - machines that appear to be far more advanced than any technology known to exist on Earth. The fact that The New York Times, regarded as "the paper of record" and possibly the most respected news platform in the country,

UFOs did not suddenly appear on Earth in 1947. They have been seen and reported for centuries. The same is true for USOs - unknown objects which have been witnessed under oceans, lakes, rivers, or other bodies of water. Author and historian Richard Dolan has just unleashed the first volume of his epic investigation of USO cases around the world. After years of meticulous research, Dolan has documented the depth and breadth of the USO cases, with dramatic cases from around the world, including specific details about alleged trans-medium craft capable

Truth and transparency are red-hot buzzwords in Washington these days. New inquiries into old secrets within multiple agencies have been launched, but what about NASA? America's space agency has been overtly hostile to UFO and UAP mysteries for decades, but what secrets might be hidden in its archives? Veteran space executive and NASA consultant Mike Gold, one of four witnesses to testify at the most recent Congressional hearing into UAP, thinks NASA files could be extremely valuable to UAP-related research, including clues that could unlock how to replicate exotic substances and

What REALLY happened at the UFO hearing? Join us for the theatre premiere Q&A of Jeremy's new documentary series UFO REVOLUTION - held at the historic Ojai Playhouse. George and Jeremy address the burning questions from the revelations of corruption seen in the three-part documentary produced by TMZ (a TUBI Original), where they follow Jeremy's and George's path towards bringing the UFO issue to light - and whistleblowers to Congress.

In the final WEAPONIZED episode of 2024, Jeremy and George are joined by three well-known citizen journalists to review the stories, successes, and failures of UFO-related developments of the past twelve months. The "Young Guns" of Ufology include Joe Murgia (UFO Joe), Ryan Robbins (aka UFO Jesus), and Danny Silva (Silva Record), each of who shared comments and opinions about the ongoing incursions by mystery drones, dismissive disinformation by AARO and its former leader, the lack of transparency from DOD, threats to potential whistleblowers and witnesses, and highly curious skullduggery behind

Mystery drones continue to befuddle government officials, law enforcement, and alarmed residents across at least three states. The FBI admits it has no clue who is behind the persistent drone flights in and around New Jersey. Meanwhile, military officials in the UK remain perplexed by unknown objects that violated restricted airspace over three key air bases. In this episode, Jeremy and George explore possible explanations for the mystery drones and the curious lack of a more forceful response. Investigating the unknown can be daunting for professional journalists. In this episode, two

In this jam-packed episode Jeremy and George dive into multiple hot button topics that are still unfolding. Ace journalist Chris Sharpe is on the ground in the UK as military airspaces continue to be penetrated nightly by mystery objects described as “drones.” But if they are mere drones, who is flying them, what are they doing, and why do the sophisticated sensors and weapons of both the UK and US powerless to stop them, track them, or shoot them down? Also joining the podcast, underwater archeologist Rory Kremer describes how he

November 14th marks the 20th anniversary of what may be the most consequential UFO encounter of all time—the Tic Tac case. Sophisticated sensors on ships and planes in the USS Nimitz carrier group detected incursions by unknown objects over nearly two weeks. On the 15th, Navy radar operators finally locked onto one of the objects, and David Fravor, commander of the Black Aces squadron, was sent to investigate. Fravor’s stunning eyewitness encounter would later become a cornerstone of the largest acknowledged UFO investigation ever funded by the U.S. government, eventually inspiring

In WEAPONIZED, Jeremy Corbell and George Knapp pull back the veil on the world of the known, to explore the unexplained. This multi-platform investigative series features exclusive interviews, never-before-seen footage, previously-suppressed documents, original audio and video recordings, and hard evidence related to UFOs, the paranormal, cutting-edge science, cover-ups, conspiracies, and big-time crimes. Original, groundbreaking conversations with government whistleblowers, spies, spooks, scientists, military officials, muckraking journalists, filmmakers, historians, artists, musicians, and major celebrities will cast a wide shadow through the other-world… and detail the human experiences that inform these extraordinary phenomena. Your

Reporters who cover UFO-related topics know the risks of pursuing a subject that has been scorned and ridiculed for decades. Intrepid journalists know they risk their professional credibility, but there are other less obvious downsides. In this episode of Weaponized. Jeremy Corbell and George Knapp converse with two journalists who have been on the receiving end of unscrupulous and underhanded slams and insults. Chris Sharp, editor of The Liberation Times, shares details about his explosive reports looking into a multi-agency operation that pursues non-human technology in the world's ocean. Who is

When Jeremy and George began recording this episode of WEAPONIZED, the proposed UAP Disclosure amendments to the Defense Authorization Act were still alive. By the time the recording session ended, Disclosure was dead for 2024. Nonetheless, the fight goes on. Last week, Jeremy Corbell met with several elected members of the House and key staff members to map out plans for upcoming UFO hearings. At the same time, an experienced lobbyist Lester Nare was also on Capitol Hill urging members to keep pushing for UFO transparency. Will such efforts keep the

The release of Lue Elizondo's bestselling book Imminent has refocused public attention on one of the strangest - and most disturbing episodes in UFO history. Elizondo recalls the moment when he first learned about the Colares UFO attacks, in which thousands of people in and around the Amazon River community of Colares were physically attacked by UFO objects that swooped down from the sky and occasionally from out of the water. Thousands of people fled their homes and as many as 2,000 reported suffering injuries after being hit by beams emanating

Jeremy Corbell hits the road to Las Vegas to reconnect with George Knapp and dive into the UFO projects that have been quietly brewing behind the scenes. The Weaponized team also took the opportunity to support rock star Dave Navarro, who made his triumphant return to the stage with Jane’s Addiction after years of battling long COVID. Though Navarro has always been intrigued by UFOs, he often approaches the topic with a healthy dose of skepticism. As the scorching Las Vegas summer heat blazed on, it marked a significant anniversary in

One year ago this week, members of Congress held an extraordinary public hearing in which credible witnesses testified about an enormous UFO coverup by the military and intelligence communities. The statements of David Grusch, David Fravor, and Ryan Graves made headlines around the world and members of Congress vowed to continue their inquiry. In the months since then, the Keepers of the Secrets have pushed back. An error-riddled report from AARO attempted to discourage Congress and the media from pursuing UFO truth. And the former director of AARO has claimed that

WEAPONIZED is supposed be on hiatus, but recent bursts of gaseous emissions from the folks at AARO have made it difficult to lounge by the pool and sip frozen concoctions. The recent release of documents related to a proposed UAP-related program within Department of Homeland Security (DHS) was hardly a gesture toward transparency by AARO. In this unscheduled, unexpected episode of WEAPONIZED, Jeremy and George review the true history of the proposed Kona Blue program, what it could have accomplished, and how AARO's former boss has blatantly misled the public about

In the Season Finale of WEAPONIZED, Jeremy and George look back at some of the key moments from the past thirteen months, including exclusive interviews with major insiders from government UFO investigations (Jay Stratton, Dr. James Lacatski, Dr. Colm Kelleher), disclosure proponents and journalists (Rep. Tim Burchett, Richard Dolan, Ross Coulthart, Bryce Zabel, UFO Joe Murgia), incredibly talented writers and artists (Robbie Williams, Dave Foley, Ben Schneider, Duncan Trussell, Whitley Strieber, John Long) and other surprises including leaked videos obtained from government files. In a fortuitous twist, the Pentagon's long-awaited report

This week, WEAPONIZED traveled to Washington D.C. to gain a sense of where the fight for UFO transparency stands at the moment. Debunkers, including former agency big-shots and social media nincompoops are scrambling to dissuade Congress from pursuing evidence about crash retrieval and reverse engineering programs. No further UFO hearings are on the schedule on Capitol Hill, but key members of Congress are confident such hearings will happen. In this episode, Jeremy and George share information gleaned from confidential meetings with members of Congress, key congressional staff members, and first hand

As long predicted, the closer the public gets to the truth about UFOs, the harder the pushback will become. That day has finally arrived. Since the beginning of 2024, the keepers of UFO secrets within government, along with their allies in defense corporations, and subservient toadies on various media platforms have unleashed a torrent of devious, ill-informed, sometimes laughable attacks on truth, facts, members of Congress, curious scientists, diligent journalists, and the public itself. Former AARO Director Sean Kirkpatrick led the charge with a blistering denouncement of the program he directed

Ernest Cline is the visionary best-selling author of Ready Player One, Ready Player Two, Armada, and the upcoming Bridge to Bat City, as well as the co-screenwriter of the blockbuster movie Ready Player One directed by Steven Spielberg, and co-founder of Readyverse Studios. Cline is a brilliant novelist and screenwriter whose books have earned worldwide acclaim and a legion of devoted fans around the world. Cline's first visionary bestseller Ready Player One was eerily accurate prediction of where AI and virtual reality tech are taking us. Cline worked with legendary director

In the fall of 2017, security personnel at a U.S. military base in Iraq detected a highly unusual intruder. The bizarre object was essentially invisible to all but a thermal imaging system. A thermal recording of the object as it flew across the base was made by astonished observers. Within minutes, a video feed of the episode was cut off from U.S. allies located within the same base. Intelligence assets at the base continued to monitor the object as it crossed the facility, then zipped over an adjacent body of water,

Despite remarkable events of the past six years, the UFO public is impatient when it comes to truth and disclosure. When do we get to see the craft and bodies? Where is the real evidence? Will more whistleblowers come forward? Esteemed historian Richard Dolan has heard these demands before. His meticulously researched books about the complicated politics surrounding UFO truth, including the heavy-handed tactics used by intelligence agencies, the DOD, and defense contractors, are widely regarded as the most comprehensive and accurate accounts of all time. What does Dolan make of

Long before the existence of AAWSAP or AATIP, there was another UFO investigation within the Dept. of Defense named ATP [the Advanced Theoretical Physics program], headed by a veteran intelligence officer named Col. John Alexander. Alexander and colleagues searched for hidden evidence of UFO crash retrieval/reverse engineering programs but didn't find any. For years afterward, Alexander was skeptical whenever "crashed saucers" were mentioned, but what about now? His detractors refer to Col. Alexander as "Dr. Death”. He is purported to have psychic powers and mind control abilities, is often associated with

Congressional efforts to force the disclosure of legacy UFO programs and secrets ran into a political buzzsaw this month. Sweeping legislation was largely gutted at the last minute by a few key committee chairmen with strong ties to defense contractors, the very same companies suspected of housing Special Access Programs involving UAP crash retrieval/reverse engineering. Is this the end of meaningful disclosure efforts? Not even close. In this episode, Jeremy and George review the plusses and minuses of the political infighting in Congress, why the fight will almost certainly continue, what

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

The Pentagon and its defense contractors are poised to crush pro-UFO transparency legislation. Indications are the DOD and its allies are using their political muscle and campaign dollars to pressure key members of Congress to guy the so-called Schumer/Rounds amendment, which called for the disclosure of UFO crash retrieval and reverse engineering programs. Former intelligence officer David Grusch spilled more secrets this week in a blockbuster appearance with podcaster Joe Rogan. Grusch hints that other whistleblowers are poised to tell what they know no matter what action Congress takes. Grusch also

What is the policy of the US military regarding intrusions by potentially hostile unidentified aircraft or objects? In previous decades, U.S. forces had standing orders to intercept UFOs and - when necessary - to shoot them down. But what is the general policy now? In this episode of WEAPONIZED, Jeremy and George report about two dramatic incidents in which military units unleashed considerable firepower against unknown aerial intruders including a cluster of objects that repeatedly approached a U.S. warship in the Pacific Ocean near Japan, and an allied warplane that fired

For the past five-plus years, members of Congress have been pushing the Pentagon for more UFO transparency. The Department of Defense and intelligence community have gone through the motions, pretending to conduct an honest investigation of the UAP mystery while throwing up additional roadblocks and dragging their feet. At long last, members of the House met in a SCIF with the Inspector General for DOD, but it was not much of a meeting and transparency was clearly not in the cards. What happened inside that SCIF? And where does the newly

Two topics dominated UFO conversations this week… an underwhelming UFO report issued by the All-Domain Anomalies Resolution Office (AARO), and the astonishing revelations from former DIA intelligence analyst and UFO program manager Dr. James Lacatski. Lacatski's comments last week on WEAPONIZED generated strong reactions from the UFO public around the world. Jeremy and George sort out the impact of statements made by Lacatski and his co-author Dr. Colm Kelleher, and also take a deep dive into the new AARO report, why it failed to deliver what the public demands. As an

The largest acknowledged UFO investigation ever funded by the US government (AAWSAP) was overseen by the Defense Intelligence Agency (DIA). The two men who managed the overall objectives and the day to day operations of AAWSAP, veteran intelligence analyst and rocket scientist Dr. James Lacatski and his colleague Dr. Colm Kelleher, helped compile the most comprehensive UFO database ever assembled. Among those 200,000 UFO cases and incidents were some stunning, seemingly inexplicable demonstrations of technology that appeared far more advanced than anything known to exist on Earth. In this episode, Lacatski

The U.S. government spent many years and millions of dollars investigating and developing a cadre of psychic spies in now- infamous programs dubbed Project Stargate and Grill Flame. Remote viewing protocols developed by the CIA allowed trained psychics to achieve shockingly accurate access to otherwise inaccessible information. Famed magician and television producer Chris Ramsay managed to track down and interview many of the key figures involved in the CIA and U.S. Army remote viewing programs, including Dr. Hal Puthoff, psychic Pat Price, and legendary remote viewer Joe McMoneagle. Although the programs

Do we live in a virtual reality simulation created by an alien wunderkind? How could we tell the difference between what we perceive to be the real world and a digital re-creation? While still in his teens, Jules Urbach (Founder and CEO of OTOY, Inc) designed and sold hugely successful video games. He declined an invitation to attend Harvard, and focused instead on the development of cutting-edge technologies that subsequently revolutionized movies, television, and streaming networks, and fueled the explosion of virtual reality endeavors. His companies have earned Oscars and accolades

The 1938 Orson Welles radio play of "War of the Worlds" allegedly created widespread panic among a gullible listening audience, but in the eight-plus decades since the program was broadcast, the public has acclimated itself to the possibility of visitation by an alien intelligence. In this episode, Jeremy and George revisit some historical milestones that marked turning points in the public's understanding of the UFO mystery. And they are joined by Liberation Times editor in chief Christopher Sharp who reported this week about a confrontation between a US Air Force warplane

For more than 75 years, the Pentagon, intelligence agencies, and major defense contractors have muddied the waters and thwarted attempts to obtain some measure of transparency regarding the UFO mystery. The recent wave of UFO activism by the public has led to congressional hearings, the creation of a new agency to investigate UFOs, a NASA study, and genuine interest within academia and news media. Now, the Keepers of the Secrets are pushing back, trying to quash congressional inquiries, discourage legitimate studies, and thwart honest scrutiny by major media. In this episode,

A week after their appearance on the Joe Rogan Experience podcast, Jeremy and George revisit subjects raised including the dark side of the UFO mystery, the hunt for evidence of a crash retrieval program, and abrupt changes that have been made by the Dept. of Defense in the management of the UFO agency established by Congress - AARO (the All-doman Anomaly Resolution Office). Are we on the verge of actual UFO transparency? And is AARO doing what it was created to do? ••• GOT A TIP? Reach out to us at

When aviator John Lear died in 2022, he left behind a colorful legacy filled with wild claims about hostile aliens, secret bases, global conspiracies, and government cabals. Lear was more than familiar with the dark secrets and shady dealings of the Black World. He grew up in that environment. As the son of aviation legend Bill Lear, John piloted just about every aircraft of his day, mingled with high-ranking defense officials and aerospace bigshots, flew secret cargo missions for the CIA, and learned first-hand about excessive secrecy and disinformation. Lear became

Tens of millions of animals spend their entire live in agony and confinement, mostly because cruelty is built into the business model of huge Agri-Biz corporations. Huge, foreign-owned companies inflict unimaginable suffering on vast numbers of animals. The cruelty inherent in factory farming operations is not only terrible for the animals, but also bad for humans. Citizen groups in multiple states have pushed for laws to provide minimal standards for animal welfare, but now, Big Ag is attempting to undermine democracy by wiping out the positive changes made in recent years.

Veteran intelligence officer and Air Force veteran David Grusch knew there were risks when he decided to blow the whistle on secret - and highly illegal - programs which for decades have hidden evidence of non-human technology recovered from crash sites. Grusch met and interviewed more than 40 people who have seen the evidence first hand. That information has previously been conveyed to Congress in sworn testimony delivered behind closed doors. Grusch had previously been targeted for retribution by higher-ups in the intelligence community, which is why he filed whistleblower complaints

In November 2004, one of the most powerful and sophisticated naval armadas in the world had its maneuvers repeatedly interrupted by unknown intruders. The USS Nimitz carrier group was jam-packed with high-tech sensor systems, but over a period of two weeks those sensors were repeatedly stymied by the appearance and disappearance of unidentified objects in the vicinity of the fleet. CDR David Fravor, the highly esteemed leader of the Navy's best aviators, the Strike Fighter Squadron 41 (also known as the "Black Aces”), was directed to pursue one of the mystery

A congressional subcommittee heard sworn testimony last week from three impressive witnesses about dramatic, well-documented UFO encounters, classified UFO programs, and world changing evidence of non-human intelligence allegedly hidden from the public. Congress and the rest of the world were blown away by the testimony of distinguished military aviators CDR David Fravor and Lt. Ryan Graves, and by the explosive revelations from high-level (former) intelligence official David Grusch. How did the hearing come together? What happened behind the scenes? And most importantly, what happens next? Joining Jeremy and George for a

A congressional National Security subcommittee will hear testimony this week from a trio of highly credible witnesses whose previous statements in recent years about UFO incidents and programs have generated global headlines. UFO diehards are already complaining about the hearing, days before a single syllable of testimony has been delivered. Is this going to be “old news”? Has the world-famous TIC TAC UFO case been debunked? In this episode, Jeremy and George describe why this hearing should be considered historic and take a fresh look at the TIC TAC UFO case

Senate majority leader Chuck Schumer shocked his colleagues - and the world - by unveiling proposed legislation that would force the release of long-secret UFO files stashed in the bowels of government agencies. The legislation specifically targets defense contractors and private individuals who might be hiding nonhuman technology, crashed saucers, exotic materials of unknown origin… even alien bodies. Schumer gave a nod to his friend and mentor Sen. Harry Reid, whose support for UAP-related investigations is largely responsible for the dramatic events unfolding right now. British journalist Chris Sharp joins Jeremy

The UFO mystery might represent the only truly bipartisan issue on Capitol Hill. Lawmakers of both parties, and in both houses of Congress, have demonstrated a commitment to piercing the veil of secrecy and ridicule that has surrounded UFO/UAP matters since the late 1940's. The Senate Intelligence committee recently approved extraordinary language that targets special access programs and defense contractors which might be hiding exotic materials obtained at crash sites. And later this month, the House Oversight Committee is expected to conduct an open hearing featuring whistleblowers and eyewitnesses who are

Elected officials in the U.S. and Canada have embarked on an unprecedented effort to pierce the veil of secrecy that has surrounded the UFO mystery since the end of World War II. Lawmakers in both the House and Senate are hot on the trail of UAP secrets - not merely the military files and restricted documents - but the actual hardware long rumored to exist within classified silos, special access programs, or the hangars of major defense contractors. And in Canada, a longtime Member of Parliament has challenged the defense establishment

Author Whitley Strieber has endured a lifetime of bizarre encounters with a non-human intelligence. In his 1987 blockbuster "Communion", Strieber described a series of terrifying intrusions by seemingly alien creatures he called The Visitors. The book sold millions of copies, was made into a major motion picture, and generated hundreds of thousands of letters from people around the world who reported similar experiences. Strieber's own encounters with the Visitors have not only continued over the ensuing decades but have evolved into an even more complex mystery, one that seems to involve

On the heels of blockbuster testimony from UAP whistleblower David Grusch, a letter has surfaced which alleges the UFO coverup is a multinational effort. In Canada, a veteran Member of Parliament sent a confidential letter to that nation's Defense Minister. The elected official provides very specific details about an ongoing program within the "Five Eyes" alliance (USA, Canada, Australia, UK, New Zealand) to analyze and reverse-engineer exotic materials obtained from crashes of UFOs. Some of the materials in question date back to the early 1950s according to MP Larry Maguire. Maguire

Recently-retired intelligence officer David Grusch did not want to become a UFO whistleblower. Grusch spent much of his life protecting the most sensitive secrets in the world, many of them housed inside Special Access Programs that were unknown, even to congressional overseers. When Grusch uncovered evidence of illegal activity within the intelligence community, related to UFO operations and programs, he reported his suspicions to the appropriate authorities and hoped that higher-ups would address the allegations. Instead, he became a target himself. Shadowy operatives inside the intelligence community and in league with

What happens to us after we die? Can love transcend physical death? Are time and space mere illusions? Existential and philosophical questions are at the heart of the music produced by Lord Huron, an indie band based in Los Angeles. Fans have given them the nickname of "Cosmic Cowboys" due to the nature of the subjects addressed in their songs and albums. Ghost - both literal and figurative - make frequent appearances in their lyrics, along with ancient legends, malevolent spirits, cosmological lore, and a smattering of broken hearts and lost

In April 2021, dozens of US Marines stationed at the sprawling Twentynine Palms base in the Mojave desert witnessed what they describe as an unusual array of lights in the night sky. These Marines, many of whom work directly with flares and other ordnance, were at the base for an extended two month training exercise. Several of them said they saw the outline of a "craft" behind the lights and, in their opinion, the lights in the sky did not resemble any of the flares that are routinely used in training

In the spring of 2021, almost two years to the day, dozens of U.S. Marines being trained at the sprawling base at Twentynine Palms watched in awe as a massive, triangular-shaped object sat motionless in the sky for a period of more than ten minutes. Several Marines recorded images of the triangle on their cell phones, including phones equipped with low light features. Base commanders reacted quickly to the sighting. They mobilized ground units, dispatched helicopters, and fired off flares to try and illuminate the mystery craft. Jeremy and George have

Singer/songwriter/entertainer Robbie Williams has dazzled global audiences for decades. In the UK, Williams is tied with the Beatles for the most Number One albums - more than Bowie, Elton, and Elvis. He earned a spot in Guinness Book of World Records for selling out an entire concert tour in one day. In this candid interview, Robbie shares insights about his personal challenges, battles with tabloid media, and a lifetime of unusual experiences and encounters, including a visit to Skinwalker Ranch with Jeremy and George. He also revealed details about an upcoming

During the darkest days of the Cold War, leaders in the USSR publicly described the UFO mystery as a capitalist plot, unworthy of scientific study. But behind the scenes, communist dictators held a much different view. They authorized secret scientific studies of UFOs. For decades, individual scientists and academic groups throughout the USSR surreptitiously investigated UFO cases and incidents, at the risk of imprisonment - or worse. Most of their work wasn’t made public until the fall of the USSR in the early 90’s. Journalist George Knapp traveled to Russia twice
