WEAPONIZED with Jeremy Corbell & George Knapp

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 from AARO about the history of US investigations of UFOs was released just in time for our last episode. It turned out to be a perfectly predictable propagandized rewriting of history, punctuated by sloppy errors, blatant falsehoods, and the dismissal of testimony from dozens of witnesses. ???  Watch the three-part UFO docuseries titled UFO REVOLUTION on TUBI here : https://tubitv.com/series/300002259  ???  GOT A TIP?

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 witnesses who expressed concerns about where the topic might be heading.  ???  Watch the three-part UFO docuseries titled UFO REVOLUTION on TUBI here : https://tubitv.com/series/300002259  Watch the video analysis by HERE SUDDENLY on YouTube of the Antioquia Colombia UAP video here : https://youtu.be/V4MzC2Rb6PU  ???  GOT A TIP?

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 and the members of Congress who created it. Dr. Kirkpatrick spent "a whole year" investigating UFOs but found "no evidence.? His demonstrably false allegations were quickly magnified in a seemingly coordinated series of articles written by like-minded friendly reporters. At the same time, a cabal of hard-core debunkers, masquerading as skeptics, had been outed for its secret takeover of all Wikipedia content regarding UFOs and prominent people who have investigated the subject. And on various social media platforms, where civil discourse is a rarity, a cohort of the usual suspects have participated in unleashing personal attacks that are vile, even by their own low standards. So, what's going on? Is all of this unfolding at the same time purely by coincidence? In this episode, Jeremy and George review some of the more glaring examples of the new era of pushback against UFO truth and give shout outs to some of the unsung heroes who are fighting hard to push back against the onslaught of propaganda.  Plus, don't miss a special segment featuring Bob Lazar, who sheds light on the intriguing anatomy of a flying saucer. Join us as we navigate through the stormy skies of disinformation to seek the elusive truth about UFOs.  ???  Watch the three-part UFO docuseries titled UFO REVOLUTION on TUBI here : https://tubitv.com/series/300002259  ???  GOT A TIP?

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, stopped on a dime, plunged into the lake, then emerged 17 minutes later and blazed into the heavens at an astonishing speed.  An attempt was made by the base commanders to collect and suppress all evidence of the incident. Witnesses were all sworn to secrecy. The full video files were seized, then buried. But somehow, a partial copy of the video was made and stored on an secret internal server. The object, dubbed "the spaghetti monster" by those who later saw parts of the video, seemingly resembled a jellyfish. It was widely viewed by base personnel in the months afterward.   In this episode of WEAPONIZED, Jeremy and George reveal details about how and when they obtained a video of the sensational Jellyfish UFO, what steps were taken to try and discern what it might be, and also respond to spurious attempts to explain away the jellyfish UFO as something other than a legitimate UAP. That Jellyfish video exploded onto the UFO scene days ago and has now been viewed by millions of people around the world. Included in this episode are comments from one of the military personnel who was present at the base soon after the incident. ???  Watch the three-part UFO docuseries titled UFO REVOLUTION on TUBI here : https://tubitv.com/series/300002259  ???  GOT A TIP?

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 recent whistleblower revelations, strident statements by members of Congress, and renewed interest within academic circles? In this far-reaching conversation, Jeremy and George ask Dolan about current events compared to previous periods in American history, about the global nature of UFO incidents, and about how the public might handle UFO disclosure IF the truth turns out to be far darker than we might imagine.  Dolan also reveals details about his latest research project - a gargantuan investigation of USO cases, that is, incidents involving unidentified objects in or around bodies of water.  Check out Dolan?s work here : https://www.RichardDolanMembers.com  ???  Watch the three-part UFO docuseries titled UFO REVOLUTION on TUBI here : https://tubitv.com/series/300002259  ???  GOT A TIP?

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 the shadowy "Aviary" group of UFO insiders, and is viewed with fear and suspicion whenever he attends a UFO conference, on a par with the Men in Black or Darth Vader. Alexander chuckles about how he is perceived by ufologists. He led special forces teams into combat during the Vietnam conflict, was involved with the US Army's remote viewing program, became the head of Non-Lethal Weapons research at Los Alamos lab, and in the 90's, hooked up with NIDS, the National Institute for Discovery Science which was created and funded by Las Vegas billionaire Robert Bigelow. Alexander was with Bigelow when the businessman purchased what came to be known as Skinwalker Ranch.  In this episode, Dr. Alexander reveals to George and Jeremy how his view of the ?crashed saucers? story has evolved, shares his impressions from the recent Sol conference, discusses previous attempts to achieve UFO transparency through congressional action, and gives his assessment of fellow intelligence officer Col. Phillip Corso.  Check out Col. John B. Alexander's books here : https://www.amazon.com/stores/John-B.-Alexander/author/B001HCZBZY  ???  GOT A TIP?

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 might comes next, and check in with Liberation Times editor/publisher Chris Sharp, whose hard-hitting coverage of the disclosure legislation names names and identifies the opposition in stark terms.  Check out Chris Sharp's publication called Liberation Times : https://www.LiberationTimes.com  ???  GOT A TIP?

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 interviews were recorded, though the recordings were never released. In this episode of WEAPONIZED, Jeremy and George revisit the Corso tale and take a deep dive into the unreleased Corso tapes.  ???  GOT A TIP?

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 lent his voice to the inaugural Sol Foundation conference, hosted in part by Stanford professor Dr. Garry Nolan. A high-powered collection of UFO writers, thinkers, and insiders attended the groundbreaking gathering. Among them was citizen journalist Joe Murgia, aka "UFO Joe", who has followed the subject for decades. Murgia joins Jeremy and George to share his recollections and impressions of the Sol event and the Grusch revelations and to speculate about what might come next. Also discussed - the Syria ?Dome? UAP photo.  ???  GOT A TIP?

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 a cutting edge missile at an unidentified "drone" in the Middle East. ???  GOT A TIP?

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 elected Speaker of the House stand on UFO transparency? Jeremy and George recorded a candid, in depth conversation with Rep. Tim Burchett, the outspoken advocate for UFO disclosure and asked him what comes next.  ??? GOT A TIP?

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 added bonus, we resurrect an interview from the 1990's in which a legendary intelligence official candidly spoke about crash retrievals and reverse engineering programs.  ???  GOT A TIP?

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 and Kelleher spill details about the physics and engineering of UFO technology and shared a blockbuster revelation about a mysterious craft of unknown origin.  Pick up the new book "Inside the US Government Covert UFO Program" on Amazon here : https://www.amazon.com/dp/B0CKP3YQRM  ???  GOT A TIP?

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 were supposedly cancelled, Ramsay suspects they live on in some form because of astounding results that were achieved, most of which remain classified decades later. In some cases, the psychic warriors gained insight into UFOs and an ancient civilization on Mars that might be the ancestors of modern humans. Ramsay joins Jeremy and George to talk about his illustrious career and his three-part you tube film project about the inner workings of the remote viewing programs, including direct testimony from the psychic spies about their most disturbing cases and achievement.  Learn more about Chris Ramsay?s work here :  Remote Viewing Series : https://www.youtube.com/@Area52Investigations  Bob Lazar UFO puzzle : https://youtu.be/_Qk51EgWEN0  ???  GOT A TIP?

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 for the digital effects in hugely successful film franchises (the Marvel movies, Avatar, Disney) but his most important accomplishments are still unfolding. Virtual Reality and Augmented Reality hold enormous promise for our planet, but Jules thinks the day is coming when we may not be able to tell the difference between real life and its artificial alternatives. It is likely that many people might prefer to live in a virtual world, though Jules hopes that isn't the case.  In this mind-bending discussion with Jeremy and George, Jules speculates on the future of human evolution, how a melding of people and machines is already underway, and where it might lead. Virtual Reality tech, combined with powerful A.I. could eventually mean that humans could evolve into non-physical super-beings, real but invisible. And if there are vastly older alien civilizations elsewhere in the universe, they might have made a similar transformation eons ago.  Learn more about Jules? company OTOY here : https://OTOY.com   ???  GOT A TIP?

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 and a mystery formation of unknown objects in the Gulf of Mexico. Chris also has an insightful update on the status of UAP legislation in Congress and the high stakes drama unfolding in Washington.  Check out Liberation Times at https://LiberationTimes.com  ???  GOT A TIP?

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, Jeremy and George look closely at several recent developments that are a direct threat to UFO transparency and they issue a call to arms to UFO activists to take a strong stand right now, before this window of opportunity closes forever.  Here is where you can go to make a CALL or send an EMAIL and MAKE some NOISE & FIGHT the POWER! https://www.uapcaucus.com/enduapsecrecy https://www.witnesscitizen.com/enduapsecrecy-2023 https://DisclosureDiaries.com/push-for-transparency https://DeclassifyUAP.org/action  OR just CALL this dude?s office : Mike Turner, OH-R, (202) 225-6465, [email protected] Chairman of the House Permanent Select Committee on Intelligence (or HPSCI)  ???  GOT A TIP?

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 obsessed with the UFO mystery and in the 1980s, emerged as a harsh critic of what he described as a massive coverup operation. As he grew older, Lear's claims became more grandiose. Some of his allegations were far fetched. However, a few turned out to be true. For both George Knapp and Jeremy Corbell, Lear played a pivotal role in their own interest in UFO matters. In this episode, learn about Lear's colorful life, grandiose claims, and his lasting impact on the subject.  Learn more at https://ExtraordinaryBeliefs.com/immaculate-deception  ???  GOT A TIP?

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. Wayne Pacelle is one of the best known and most successful animal welfare advocates in the world. He co-founded two influential organizations which are fighting on Capital Hill and in state and local governments across the country on behalf of animals who are otherwise powerless. In this episode, Pacelle tells Jeremy and George about the daunting threats to animal welfare and human health by powerful interests for whom cruelty is seen as a shortcut to profits.  Learn more at https://AnimalWellnessAction.org  ???  GOT A TIP?

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 with the Inspector General of the Intelligence Community, then shared his story with journalists and with a House committee. Last week, insiders provided tips to a reporter about Grusch's previous struggles with PTSD in what appears to be am attempt to besmirch his reputation, but also as a warning to other potential whistleblowers. In this episode, Jeremy and George dig into the sliming of Grusch, why it was done, and what might happen next.  GOT A TIP?

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 objects. Fravor's encounter with a craft now known as the TIC TAC UFO, might be the most important UAP incident of all time - even though the case was not formally investigated until six years later. When details about the encounter were first exposed to the public in 2017, Fravor's life changed forever. What was learned during the subsequent investigation, and why is Fravor considered by many to be the most credible UFO witness ever? Years before Fravor's story was reported by the New York Times, the veteran aviator shared the details with Jeremy and George. In this episode, WEAPONIZED revisits the TIC TAC UFO case - and the aviator whose close encounter launched a global demand for further disclosures. GOT A TIP?

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 roundtable discussion are two award-winning journalists and podcast producers Ross Coulthart and Bryce Zabel.

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 as seen through the eyes of a key eyewitness who played an essential role in documenting the dramatic events involving the Nimitz Carrier Group.

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 and George to discuss the potential impact of Schumer's proposal and the importance of the upcoming public UFO hearing to be conducted by house members days from now.

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 NOT part of the ongoing coverup. In this episode, Jeremy and George review the spotty history of Congressional UFO hearings and speak with Rep. Tim Burchett about what the public can expect to hear later this month. GOT A TIP?

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 to embrace UFO transparency and to investigate an alleged multinational program created to reverse-engineer UAP tech. In this episode Jeremy Corbell and George Knapp review the astonishing progress of the past few months and also evaluate the significant barriers that might still prevent anything approaching full disclosure.

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 more than one non-human species as well as human souls and the afterlife. In this candid conversation with Jeremy Corbell and George Knapp, Strieber revisits his most unusual encounters, shares his private thoughts about the reasons for the UFO coverup, discusses current developments involving crash retrievals and whistleblowers, and addresses the central question - are we ready for the truth?

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 urges the Canadian government to get out in front of the UAP story before further revelations destroy public trust and embarrass the governments of the Five Eyes nations. In this episode, Jeremy and George review the contents of this explosive letter, its implications, and the names of the specific multinational programs which have allegedly attempted to reverse-engineer exotic wreckage collected at crash sites.

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 powerful defense contractors, tried to silence, punish, and discredit him. Grusch not only learned startling truths about UFO research by government employees, but also uncovered evidence of a massive and ongoing disinformation effort created to mislead congress, the media, and the public. Days ago, Grusch stepped out of the shadows and spoke publicly for the first time. UFOs are real, he says, and they are here. More than a year ago, Grusch sought the advice of journalists George Knapp and Jeremy Corbell. In this episode of WEAPONIZED, Jeremy and George tell the inside story of their friendship with Grusch, why he risked everything by coming forward, and about other government insiders and whistleblowers who are prepared to follow in Grusch's footsteps.

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 loves. Ben Schneider, the founder of the Lord Huron, is also its lead singer and principal songwriter. Schneider grew up in the shadow of the Great Lakes where he absorbed much of the rich history of the region and the Native Americans who've lived there for centuries. His music combines elements of folk, rock, country, punk, Asian, and even surf influences. The sound is lush and multi-layered, and the songs address complicated ideas not usually found in popular music. Music critics have struggled to find a specific niche for Lord Huron, but the fan base has no such problem. In this episode. Jeremy and George ask Ben Schneider about the inspiration for his songs, pay a visit to the hidden Whispering Pines recording studio, and share video clips from Lord Huron concerts, including the current tour.

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 exercises or that they are familiar with. Last week, in an effort to generate additional information, WEAPONIZED unveiled several videos recorded by the eyewitnesses, along with low light photos which appear to show the outline of a triangular object. The episode set off a wave of UFO coverage by major news media, inquiries from congressional staffers, and, not surprisingly, significant criticism from online UFO personalities. In this episode, Jeremy and George will share new information and interviews with Marine witnesses who came forward to respond to social media speculations and will explain why this incident remains an open, active investigation.

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 obtained multiple videos and photos recorded during the incident and also interviewed several of the Marines who were present. The witnesses alternately described the object as the size of a two story house and as long as half a football field. Despite the number of qualified witnesses and the excellent images recorded during the encounter, the case was not reported up the chain of command, nor was the information shared with AARO (the All-domain Anomaly Resolution Office), the government's formal UAP investigative agency. In this episode of WEAPONIZED, Jeremy and George describe the sequence of events, share videos and photos along with recorded statements from two eyewitnesses, and also review a few other recent developments related to UAP.

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 in the 90?s and spoke with scientists who had never before appeared on camera to discuss their work. In this episode, he and Jeremy Corbell review the courageous work done by Russian scientists during dangerous times. GOT A TIP?

A U.S. Senate Subcommittee chaired by Sen. Kirsten Gillibrand heard testimony this week from AARO's Dr. Sean Kirkpatrick. Gillibrand and two fellow senators asked intelligent questions in the public session, but didn't get many answers from the AARO chief. Dr. Kirkpatrick said he's seen no credible evidence of any ET tech flying in our skies. He then unveiled video of an unknown object recorded by a DOD sensor platform in the Middle East, an object eerily reminiscent of the Mosul Orb - a genuine UAP captured on video over Iraq in 2016 (first unveiled by WEAPONIZED earlier this year). Jeremy and George discuss what was learned from the Senate hearing, what the future may hold for Sean Kirkpatrick, and why future congressional hearings might hold more promise. GOT A TIP?

Five years ago this week, former US Senate Majority leader Harry Reid arranged and hosted a closed-door meeting in Washington DC. The purpose of the get-together was a briefing about a then-unknown investigation of UFOs and related phenomena. The world had just learned about a Pentagon program dubbed AATIP, a UFO study headed by Lue Elizondo. But news accounts mangled the true story. Reid and colleagues had secured $22 million for a UFO study. The program was managed by the Defense Intelligence Agency using the acronym AAWSAP. In March 2018, Sen. Reid arranged for a meeting between the project manager for AAWSAP and journalist George Knapp, during which Dr. Lacatski outlined the operation and accomplishments of the largest government-funded UFO investigation in history. In this episode, Jeremy and George recall the events from five years ago and how the revelations from that day are still reverberating. GOT A TIP?

Jeremy and George break down reactions to their release of images of a mysterious object dubbed The Baghdad Phantom. Analysts from the U.S. Air Force deemed it to be a genuine UAP. Assorted "twitfologists" tried but failed to debunk the Phantom. The duo also discussed dynamic new statements from two men who previously worked as the Dept. of Defense's top UFO hunters. Jay Stratton and Travis Taylor told attendees at the recent AlienCon event in Pasadena further details about their investigation into the 2019 West Coast UFO swarm events. And Jeremy revisted his challenge to specific members of Congress about why they should question a particular military General regarding "the UFO Silver Bullet", a reference to alleged reverse engineering of alien spacecraft.

For decades, stories of crashed UFOs and secret recovery operations have permeated popular culture. Has the US government stashed alien craft - and perhaps alien bodies - inside the military industrial complex, perhaps in remote desert locations such as Area 51? In the early 1990s, a former high-level executive with a major defense contractor shared his story with a Las Vegas journalist and promised to record video deposition to be released after his death. The story involved a UFO that had been recovered from a crash site in New Mexico, along with a still-living crew member. The identity of the industry executive has never been confirmed by the journalist... until now. GOT A TIP?

The presence of a Chinese surveillance balloon over American airspace culminated in the dramatic destruction of the balloon by a U.S. warplane. In the days after that highly publicized incident, three additional "unknown objects" were detected and shot down over North America. The government says it has not yet determined what the objects are. Does this represent a new level of transparency regarding UAP intrusions, or is the public being misled? Jeremy and George discuss how these incidents unfolded, what the public has been told, and why we may not be getting the straight story. Actor and comedian Dave Foley joins the discussion with his take on the confusion between UAP and spy balloons, and how the reporting of recent events reveal the truth about the now famous UAP swarms of 2019.
