Jeremy Corbell
Jeremy Corbell is an American investigative filmmaker, journalist, and podcaster whose documentary and broadcast work has placed him among the principal civilian voices of the post-2017 UAP disclosure cycle. He directed Bob Lazar: Area 51 & Flying Saucers, the 2018 documentary about the 1989 Bob Lazar disclosures regarding the alleged Area 51 S-4 site, and Hunt for the Skinwalker, the 2018 documentary about the Utah ranch investigation by NIDS and BAASS that the AAWSAP programme drew upon. Across 2021 he released a sequence of UAP videos, including the USS Omaha transmedium sphere video from the July 2019 Strike Group encounters off the southern California coast, that featured prominently in the post-2017 cycle and were subsequently confirmed authentic by the US Department of Defense. He co-hosts the Weaponized podcast with George Knapp, launched in 2022.
A Life
Corbell entered the public eye as a documentary filmmaker working on subjects at the intersection of consciousness research, fringe science, and government secrecy. His best-known early works are two 2018 documentaries: Bob Lazar: Area 51 & Flying Saucers, distributed via Netflix, and Hunt for the Skinwalker, based on the 2005 book of the same name by George Knapp and Colm Kelleher.
Bob Lazar: Area 51 & Flying Saucers (2018) returned to public attention the November 1989 KLAS-TV Las Vegas broadcasts in which Bob Lazar described his employment at the alleged Area 51 S-4 site and his account of reverse-engineering work on nine alleged extraterrestrial craft. The documentary featured extended interviews with Lazar and his contemporaneous documentation. Hunt for the Skinwalker (2018) followed the investigation by the National Institute for Discovery Science (NIDS) and Bigelow Aerospace Advanced Space Studies (BAASS) of the Utah ranch that the AAWSAP programme subsequently incorporated into its documented research.
Across 2021 Corbell released a sequence of UAP videos that featured prominently in the post-2017 disclosure cycle. The most documented of these was the USS Omaha transmedium sphere video, sourced from US Navy operational footage of the July 2019 Strike Group encounters off Catalina and San Diego. The video was subsequently confirmed authentic by the US Department of Defense.
From 2022 Corbell has co-hosted the Weaponized podcast with the journalist George Knapp. The podcast has been a primary platform for continuing investigative work on the post-2017 cycle, including on-record interviews with figures named in the modern disclosure record. He continues to release UAP-related material through Weaponized and through his independent channels.
On UAP
Corbell's UAP work has spanned documentary film, video and material release, and ongoing podcast investigation. The documentary work began with Bob Lazar: Area 51 & Flying Saucers (2018) and Hunt for the Skinwalker (2018), which between them returned two foundational pre-2017 narratives to public attention.
The 2021 video releases are the most institutionally documented part of Corbell's UAP work. The USS Omaha transmedium sphere video, drawn from US Navy operational footage of the July 2019 Strike Group encounters, became one of the principal exhibits in the post-2017 disclosure cycle. The Department of Defense confirmed the video's authenticity in public statements following the release. Other releases in the same period addressed additional US military UAP encounters that subsequently became the subject of AARO investigations.
From 2022 the Weaponized podcast with George Knapp has been Corbell's primary platform for investigative work. The podcast has hosted on-record interviews with David Grusch, Luis Elizondo, James Lacatski, and other figures named in the modern disclosure record. Episodes have addressed the AARO Volume I report, the Skinwalker Ranch investigations, the AAWSAP programme, and the Grusch testimony at the centre of the post-2023 disclosure-cycle dispute.
Corbell's public work has spanned documentary release, video and material release, and ongoing podcast interview format. The work has been engaged with both supportively and critically across the public record. The Department of Defense's All-domain Anomaly Resolution Office (AARO) Volume I Historical Record Report, released in March 2024 under Sean Kirkpatrick's tenure as founding Director, disputed substantive elements of several narratives that Corbell's documentary and video work has brought to public attention. The archive documents both Corbell's released material and the institutional response without taking a position on the underlying substance.
