WEAPONIZED with Jeremy Corbell & George Knapp – Détails, épisodes et analyse

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 from the unknown craft. The Brazilian Air Force launched a major investigation and many years later, their files were released to the public. In this episode of WEAPONIZED, Jeremy and George speak with Thiago Ticchetti, Brazil's top UFO investigator and author about the Colares attacks and what became of the once-secret files. Thiago alleges that astoundingly clear film footage and photos obtained by the Brazilian military were sent to the US but have never been shown to the public. The WEAPONIZED team also reviews assorted conspiracy theories and debunking efforts that have popped up in UAP circle in recent weeks, including some related to Elizondo's book. ••• For UFO cases related to Brazil, reach out to Thiago and check out his excellent work...

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 the team’s ongoing quest for UFO truth. Thirty years ago this summer, a TV crew journeyed to the UK to investigate the mysterious crop circles that seemingly materialize overnight in grain fields. During this trip, they had a memorable encounter with a Ministry of Defense official - who would later become a prominent figure in UFO discussions - adding yet another intriguing layer to their search for answers. ••• 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?
