Jay Stratton | First-Ever Interview — Before the World Knew His Name | Oct. 20, 2026

Source: Jeremy Corbell youtube



Description: 

Before Jay Stratton became a public face of the UFO disclosure movement, before his book Out of the Shadows, and before his revelations about non-human craft and beings made national headlines, George Knapp and Jeremy Corbell traveled to Huntsville, Alabama, in 2022 to record his very first on-camera interview.

Now, Weaponized revisits that historic conversation with the former director of the Pentagon's UAP Task Force - the man who helped shape AAWSAP, AATIP, and the government's modern UFO investigations.

In never before seen footage, Stratton reveals how the Pentagon investigated the TIC TAC, GIMBAL, and GOFAST encounters, why he consulted engineers at Lockheed Martin's Skunk Works and Boeing's Phantom Works, and what happened when military UFO evidence reached his desk. He also confirms that the massive AAWSAP database became a foundation for subsequent government investigations.

Knapp and Corbell examine Stratton's newly public claims about recovered non-human technology, his identification as the mysterious "Axelrod" from Skinwalkers at the Pentagon, and the alleged CIA intervention that prevented a transfer of UFO-related materials from Lockheed Martin to Robert Bigelow's research program.

Jacques Vallée | Is A.I. the “Alien” Intelligence We’ve Been Awaiting? | Bigelow Podcast Ep. 7 | Sept. 16, 2026

Source: Bigelow Podcast youtube



Description:
Astronomer and author Dr. Jacques Vallée started his scientific career as an astronomer but earned his PhD in computer science at Northwestern University, where he met UFO pioneer Dr. J. Allen Hynek, the key scientific advisor to the US Air Force’s much maligned Project Blue Book. Vallée was on the ground floor in the development of artificial intelligence, and over the ensuing decades has used his computer expertise to revolutionize how UFO data has been organized and catalogued, including his creation of the world’s largest UFO data warehouse, created as part of the DIA’s secretive AAWSAP investigation.

In this episode, Vallée is reunited with two longtime colleagues, Robert Bigelow and Dr. Colm Kelleher, interviewed by George Knapp. The trio worked together during the private NIDS effort as well as during AAWSAP, digging into the mysteries of Skinwalker Ranch, the pursuit of unusual materials from alleged UFO crash sites, human abductions, animal mutilations, and an attempted understanding of nonhuman intelligence.

Is A.I. itself a form of alien intelligence, created by us, but eventually a threat to human survival? Now that the president has ordered the formal release of UFO files and videos, has “disclosure” already happened? Now at the end of a decades-long career as a writer of influential UFO books and journals, Vallée opens up about big picture issues and mysteries that have been percolating in his head.

Description:
Astronomer and pioneering computer scientist Dr. Jacques Vallée may be the most influential writer and investigator of UFO and related phenomena in history. In the late 1950’s, he started a personal journal about his explorations of and interactions with UFO cases, witnesses, locations, strange materials, intelligence agencies, and quiet exchanges with an “Invisible College” of professional colleagues. His books have had a profound impact on how humanity views “the Others” and what their agenda might be.

In this episode of the podcast, Vallée explains to Robert Bigelow and George Knapp why his published journals have come to an end, and why he thinks the interactions between humans and non-human intelligence should be focused not on who “they” are, but on how their presence is changing us.

Vallée and Bigelow have worked closely together since the 1980s, first with NIDS (the National Institute for Discovery Science), and later under AAWSAP, a secretive DIA funded effort which investigated the UFO mystery along with related phenomena.

Biochemist D. Colm Kelleher, longtime colleague of both Bigelow and Vallée’s in both the NIDS and AAWSAP also joins the conversation to discuss Vallée’s “control system” theory, the appearance of unknown creatures at Skinwalker Ranch, the merging of nonhuman intelligence and consciousness research, and attempts to communicate with NHI.

Vallée explains why he thinks SOME UFOs were “designed to crash”, why he suspects the “others” are not ETs, and the future of NHI investigations. 

WEAPONIZED : EPISODE #3 with Jeremy Corbell & George Knapp + The Pentagon's Top UFO Hunter | Feb. 6, 2023

Between 2007 and 2021, the U.S. government authorized three distinct efforts to investigate and evaluate UFO/UAP incidents, cases, and effects - the acronyms were AAWSAP, AATIP, and the UAPTF. Only one person in the entire Defense Department had a key role in all three programs.

Jay Stratton was a career intelligence officer who worked for the Office of Naval Intelligence, the Defense Warning Office of the DIA, and in other sensitive national security programs. He specialized in the reverse engineering of technologies, threats, and future scenarios. 

 
In 2007, he was recruited to consult with the DIA-funded investigation known as AAWSAP, the Advanced Aerospace Weapon System Applications Program, a contract awarded to a private company affiliated with Bigelow Aerospace. The first case he investigated was the now-famous "Tic Tac" UFO incident. After AAWSAP ended, Stratton worked closely with Lue Elizondo on a successor effort known as AATIP, which focused exclusively on military encounters with UFOs.

After Elizondo left government, Stratton was asked to form a new program that eventually was formalized by Congress as the UAP Task Force. During those years, he created a massive, classified briefing presentation that was delivered to Pentagon officials, intelligence agencies, defense contractors, and members of Congress. Stratton left government in 2021 and is currently employed by Radiance Technologies. The interview with WEAPONIZED is the first public statement he has ever made about his work as the government's top UFO hunter.

The Black Vault | NEW UFO/UAP Photographs Leaked: A Breakdown | April 8, 2021

Source: theblackvault.com



On April 6, 2021, new "UFO/UAP Photographs" leaked out, as reported by George Knapp and MysteryWire.com! Sounds fun and exciting, but is it?

This video is a breakdown of what happened, along with a thought experiment on why stories like this, can be more problematic than helpful.

It may not resonate with everyone, but bloggers/journalists and whomever have the ultimate power that with the simple omission of the whole story, and the fluffing of actual facts, their reporting will take a life of its own. As a result, creating a story that is not necessarily true or accurate.

Should we have absolute trust in ANY blogger/journalist/website? No. Questioning is healthy, and ensures we the people are getting the full and true story whether it be questioning the mainstream media, the military, or the government. Not doing so, ensures the public stays partially in the dark, and with that, potentially creates a false narrative that can do more damage in the future.

Sources used in articles can and should be protected if they need to be. But VERIFIABLE EVIDENCE should be there to back it all up.

What's that all mean? Check out the thought experiment in this video, and comment below. -theblackvault.com

For more than 40 years, UFO sightings and encounters in Brazil have been investigated by the country’s leading UFOlogist.

The researcher is A.J. Gevaerd. Gevaerd has also been publishing an international UFO journal for more than 40 years and recalls how the Air Force responded to a dramatic increase in UFO sightings years ago.
 

Some of the sightings were similar to the recent UFO sighting by the crew of an American Airlines jet over New Mexico.

American government officials haven’t had much to say about this near-miss UFO case. But in radio traffic the pilot says an unknown cylindrical object zoomed over their flight Sunday afternoon.

The Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) and the Federal Bureau of Investigation (FBI) are both said to be investigating.

George Knapp | The Mysterious Zimbabwe School UFO Landing

Source: coasttocoastam.com, arielphenomenon.com



On September 16th, 1994, at the Ariel primary school in Zimbabwe, over 60 school children described seeing a disc-shaped craft land behind the school. Some of them reported observing two strange beings near the object. One appeared to approach the group. They said the figures were about 4 feet tall and were wearing what looked like “divers' suits.” The children were interviewed immediately thereafter by Tim Leach, BBC Bureau Chief for Zimbabwe, and later, Harvard psychiatrist Dr. John Mack. After an exhaustive investigation, Dr. Mack concluded that the children were not making up the story. Filmmaker Randall Nickerson is developing a new documentary using original BBC footage of the children. In the first half, he joined George Knapp to discuss the event and the details he has uncovered.

Since that time, many more witnesses have come forward with other stories of UFO sightings in the area occurring within a day or so. Nickerson tracked down many of the original witnesses (now adults) through social media. He says they all reported that the experience was “something that never left them.” A few of the children who were standing closest to the alien-looking figure said that it telepathically communicated a message of environmental urgency about the Earth. He says the experience of working on the film has made him realize that there is much to be discovered and that “we don’t have it all figured out.” -coasttocoastam.com

George Knapp | Bob Lazar, Area 51 UFO Presentation | Copenhagen Oct. 2014

George Knapp speaks about Bob Lazar and area 51, S4, John Lear and alien craft.

Bob Lazar given credence by John Lear , Gene Huff and others and dismissed by the likes Stanton Freidman. George Knapp got involved back in 1989 and he has been involved with this ever since. Presentation from Copenhagen Oct. 2014.

We have all probably heard part of the story especially from John Lear and Stanton Friedman coming from opposite ends of the discussion. George goes thru his experience and shows clips , quotes and various references and how Area 51 is now part of 'popular 'culture and can be dismissed as sky-fy or crack pot ufologist speculation. But it can also seen as a great cover story for genuine covert military surveillance craft like the U2 etc., or even more exotic government secret programmes, possibly back engineering ET craft and developing their own. Definitely worth a watch if you are curious about Bob Lazar, whether you have dismissed his statements or not.

George tells how he became involved and also tells how Bobs account has been corroborated or paralleled by other witness's he has interviewed over the years. -Cidersomerset
