Probed ingest of: Did Trump Authorize The Shootdown Of UFOs?
WEAPONIZED hosts Jeremy Corbell and George Knapp interview Liberation Times journalist Christopher Sharp about alleged UAP luring and shootdown operations around White Sands, unanswered questions to the White House and Department of War, and LOCUST laser testing. They also discuss David Grusch’s account of alleged recovery footage, congressional knowledge of recovered craft and beings, nuclear risks, and the need for public records that clarify what government releases actually show.
PROBED ASSESSMENT
Christopher Sharp joins Jeremy Corbell and George Knapp to examine alleged UAP luring and shootdown operations around White Sands, then asks what reported recovery programs imply for congressional oversight and public disclosure.
- 1.Sharp reports that the Department of War referred his presidential-authorization question to the White House, whose press office acknowledged the inquiry and then missed his reporting deadline.
- 2.Corbell distinguishes defensive engagements with unidentified objects from an organized effort to attract, disable, and recover craft for technological advantage.
- 3.Corbell recounts David Grusch’s claim of viewing recovery footage with nonhuman bodies; Sharp connects the discussion to source accounts of competing nonhuman factions.
- 4.Knapp questions the wisdom of attacking unknown objects, while Sharp raises risks to civilian aviation and the strategic implications of locating nuclear submarines.
The discussion moves accountability questions beyond executive agencies to lawmakers and staff who may have received classified briefings. It also raises the threshold for meaningful disclosure from more ambiguous imagery to inspectable program records and technical assessments.
The FBI and ODNI records document reported orb encounters, not a publicly identified White Sands lure or presidential shootdown order. Manufacturer reporting confirms LOCUST counterdrone testing and procurement; allegations about nonhuman recoveries, factions, and historical programs remain attributed accounts.
- 1.What written authorization, operational records, and safeguards govern any deliberate UAP engagement program?
