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 the DOD has lied to the American public, misled Congress, and deceived high-ranking military officers over decades. So, after three-quarters of a century of fibs, disinfo, and outright prevarications, should we now accept the latest round of lies as truth?

Oh sure.

In this episode of Weaponized, Jeremy Corbell and George Knapp respond to the laughable - and sad - attempt to further muddy the UFO waters. Also, the podcast is joined by two esteemed observers of UFO politics, including bestselling novelist and screenwriter Ernie Cline (Ready Player One) and podcaster/rock and roll entrepreneur Dan Cleary, who shared their experiences at the recent Contact in the Desert mega-conference.

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.

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 gathering of its kind in the world.

On social media, our three-part interview with Matthew Brown about Immaculate Constellation and other secrets continued to reverberate and spark debates among UFO luminaries. What lingering questions remain about Brown?

In this new episode of WEAPONIZED, Jeremy and George address Matt Brown’s claims, answer many of the questions that have surfaced, and provide glimpses of what might come next for Matt and for future whistleblowers.

Oh yes, and what about AARO’s attempt to muddy the waters regarding the world-famous flying jellyfish? Is this a deliberate distraction or a genuine misstep?

This episode covers a lot of ground.

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 uncovered during his tenure working within the United States national security enterprise. He shares details on the types of visual evidence collected by intelligence operatives and technologies, the UAP shapes observed on classified servers, how excessive secrecy is used to stifle honest inquiry by the public and Congress, and how disclosure might unfold in the future.

What would it look like to keep all living creatures in the loop on the development of new technology?

Reid sat down for a wide-ranging solo discussion with Jane Goodall on that very subject – and more. They talked about how to maintain hope and focus on local impact in today’s often chaotic world, how technology – and AI in particular – might be helpful for conservation, and Jane’s global youth program, Roots & Shoots. Plus, the Jane Goodall institute shared audio from a cutting edge acoustic array that helped them discover a brand new species in Gombe National Park in Tanzania! Jane reflected on her legacy and shared stories about bridging unlikely divides, defying the scientific community early in her career, young people opening their eyes to the natural world for the first time, and so much more.

Thank you to the incredible team at the Jane Goodall Institute and WildMon (L. Pintea, B. Wallauer, K. Harmon, M. Campos, Gabriel Leite, Tomaz Melo, Guilherme Melo, D. A. Collins, D. C. Mjungu) that, with funding from Google, utilized an acoustic array to discover brand new species in Gombe National Park, Tanzania, including Thomas’s Dwarf Galago (Galagoides thomasi).

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 said he was aware that by going public, he was risking everything. Now, in Part Two, he reveals more about the stunning documents he read, the depth and scope of the UFO coverup, and the methodical, by-the-book process he followed before making the fateful decision to go public and reveal his identity.

The Department of Defense, its All-domain Anomaly Resolution Office (AARO), members of Congress, and the public interested in UFOs have all urged UFO whistleblowers and witnesses to step forward and share any information or evidence they may possess, and to not worry about possible consequences. Brown knows his career and security clearances are now toast because the system itself is designed to discourage truth and transparency.

Introducing Reid riffs on antitrust, AI coworkers, and Chinese manufacturing from Possible.

Follow the show: Possible

Reid weighs in on the U.S. government’s latest antitrust action against Google and what it could mean for competition, innovation, and America’s tech edge. Aria also asks about the rise of Chinese electric vehicles and why BYD might be “the Tesla of tomorrow;” the geopolitical costs of tariffs; and whether saying “please” and “thank you” to ChatGPT is worth it.

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 relied on artificial intelligence to secretly scour classified servers used by the U.S. military and its intelligence agencies to search for and snatch images of UAP encounters.

A report about ImCon, written by an unknown policy advisor, was provided to Congress by Jeremy Corbell months prior to the start of a 2024 public hearing before a House subcommittee. The anonymous author of the report, who had been surreptitiously introduced to key House members by Corbell, had indicated he was willing to testify if requested to do so. A very curious series of events unfolded at the hearing, but in the end, the source of the Immaculate Constellation report was largely ignored, and the origin of the report itself was grossly distorted by members. A spokesperson for the Pentagon denied that any program by that name had ever existed within the Department of Defense.

After many months of excruciating discussion and debate, the author of the ImCon report is now ready to reveal what he knows, how he knows it, and who he is. In this episode of WEAPONIZED (Part 1 of 3), Jeremy and George speak face-to-face with the previously anonymous source of the ImCon report. The person who wrote the report explains where he worked and in what capacities, how he was first exposed to the term Immaculate Constellation, and why he made the decision to come forward, in spite of what could be very serious repercussions.

Introducing Derek Thompson on AI, abundance, and human progress from Possible.

Follow the show: Possible

Why can the United States government help make a vaccine in a year but not build a high-speed train in a reasonable timeframe? What if our biggest problems—affordable housing shortages, energy limits, and scientific slowdowns—aren’t inevitable, but chosen?

This week, Reid and Aria sit down with Derek Thompson—staff writer at The Atlantic and host of the podcast Plain English—to explore how a scarcity mindset is holding American society back. They cover how AI can revolutionize scientific discovery; what Operation Warp Speed got right; and why real progress depends on bold policy, not just better technology. Plus, Reid joins Derek in the hotseat for some “Too Much, Too Little, or Just Right?”—a game co-created with ChatGPT to discuss ideas in Derek’s new best-selling book, Abundance.

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 crew members inside the Combat Information Center of the ship. The witness, Alex Wiggins, an active-duty Navy service member with 23 years of service, says sailors routinely encounter unidentified objects in the area where the first Tic Tac incident was documented in 2004.
