George Knapp and Jeremy Corbell challenge Sean Kirkpatrick’s account of UFO investigations and urge Congress to test the alleged Lockheed–Bigelow transfer through records and sworn testimony. They also examine newly released AAWSAP research and Grusch’s account of crash retrieval footage.
- 1.Knapp recounts Jim Ryder’s proposed material-sharing arrangement with Bigelow and identifies the people and records he believes Congress should pursue.
- 2.The hosts welcome PURSUE’s publication of the BAASS Tic Tac analysis and Utah Ranch report, including local witness interviews and a map of reported movements.
- 3.Corbell says Grusch viewed footage of a government-authorized retrieval operation during official work and that he has privately cross-checked details.
- 4.Corbell proposes questioning Stratton alongside officials whose accounts conflict with his, while both hosts press for bipartisan oversight and additional Air Force videos.
The discussion connects specific historical security decisions with present demands for disclosure. The released reports give readers concrete material against which to compare the hosts’ interpretations.
The BAASS reports and Reid request packet are public records; their publication does not validate every underlying account. DIA opposed Reid’s security request, the Tic Tac calculations use assumptions, and the ranch map extrapolates witness reports. Knapp has not seen a written transfer agreement; the alleged retrieval footage is not shown.

Source Claims
12- Source reportedUnverified
George Knapp says Jim Ryder offered access to unusual Lockheed material through an arrangement involving Robert Bigelow after other holdings had been returned to the CIA.
Knapp describes former Lockheed executive Jim Ryder offering access to material that, in the account Knapp recounts, remained after other holdings had been returned to the CIA. He says the intended arrangement would have allowed analysis while providing results back to the parties involved.
- Source reportedContested
Knapp and Corbell dispute Kirkpatrick’s account of a congressional staffer seeking money for UFO-associated companies and call for names and records to test it.
Knapp questions how the alleged request could have worked and disputes the implication that AARO controlled money it could distribute that way. Corbell says his own knowledge contradicts Kirkpatrick's story.
- Source reportedAsserted
Knapp says he has neither seen a written transfer agreement nor heard participants discuss one, while remaining convinced that the proposed deal was communicated.
Knapp explicitly says he has never seen a written agreement and has not heard participants discuss one. He remains convinced that the communications and proposed deal occurred, based on people he knows.
- InferenceAsserted
Corbell argues that contractor involvement, security arrangements, and money should have produced formal documentation of the proposed transfer.
Corbell reasons that a government linked transfer involving contractors, security arrangements, and money should leave formal documentation.
- Source reportedUnverified

He alleges that staff involved in an investigation sought to discredit Matthew Brown, Dylan Borland, Luis Elizondo, Jay Stratton, and Eric Davis. He distinguishes those alleged staff actions from Tulsi Gabbard's intentions, which he characterizes more positively.
