George Knapp is a Las Vegas-based investigative journalist with a long history of UFO/UAP reporting, including early reporting on bob-lazar’s claims about S-4/Area 51.
Role in the 2026 disclosure push
Per src-war-department-uap-release-2026-04, Knapp worked with jeremy-corbell to provide Congress with file names, locations, and additional USAF UAP materials — feeding Rep. anna-paulina-luna’s 46-video request to Secretary of War pete-hegseth.
October 2022 whistleblower pipeline testimony
In an October 2022 Liberation Times exclusive (src-liberation-times-uap-hearings-whistleblowers-2022-10), Knapp stated that individuals with direct knowledge of alleged UAP retrieval programs were ready to come forward pending legal protections:
“I know that there are a couple of people in particular who know about this stuff, down to the point of the buildings where this stuff is stashed, who are willing to come forward if they are protected.”
This preceded the FY2023 NDAA’s IAA whistleblower immunity language — cited by Sen. marco-rubio as “the most consequential [Intelligence Reauthorization] ever offered” — which Knapp and jeremy-corbell publicly connected to imminent congressional UAP hearings.
WEAPONIZED podcast (December 2025)
Per src-uap-transparency-stalls-2025-12, Knapp and jeremy-corbell hosted Reps. eric-burlison and tim-burchett on the WEAPONIZED podcast in late 2025; the episode produced Burlison’s Epstein-list-style subpoena proposal for forcing the uap-disclosure-act to a vote.
