Sleeping Dog is a 2026 documentary directed by Michael Lazovsky and centered on filmmaker and UAP advocate Jeremy Corbell. Rather than having Corbell direct his own account, the film follows him as its subject, tracing his shift from art and documentary work into public releases of military imagery and witness claims. Its title refers to a warning Corbell says he received to stop pursuing sensitive material.

The production was filmed over an extended period and combines interviews, observational access, archival material, and dramatic emphasis on source protection. Publicity for the film names figures from several generations of UFO research and government disclosure, including David Fravor, David Grusch, George Knapp, Bob Lazar, and Edgar Mitchell. That breadth makes it a career portrait as much as an investigation of any one incident.

A central promotional claim is that Sleeping Dog includes clips from eight of the 46 UAP Video Files sought by members of Congress. The presence of military sensor footage can establish that recordings exist and show what the filmmakers obtained; identification of the objects depends on provenance, metadata, sensor geometry, and official case context that may not all be available in a theatrical cut. The film presents Corbell’s interpretation and access rather than an institutional adjudication.

Released theatrically on May 8 and digitally on May 12, 2026, Sleeping Dog arrived during renewed government releases and popular interest in disclosure. Its significance lies in documenting how a modern UAP media figure works across sources, podcasts, leaked imagery, and public advocacy. Reception of the film consequently turns on both its new material and its willingness to examine the risks and incentives surrounding Corbell’s methods.
