“Houston, we have a problem,” Jeremy Corbell utters on the latest episode of “Weaponized with Jeremy Corbell & George Knapp Podcast.” His “problem” is directed towards “The Age of Disclosure,” the 2025 documentary film directed by Dan Farah. The film does a deep dive on the alleged 80-year government cover-up of Unidentified Anomalous Phenomena (UAPs) by the U.S. government.

“Now of course,” Corbell states, “I’ve got some bones to pick with the movie on factual reality.” The “bones” here regard certain details in the film that Corbell feels have been omitted, miss-represented or ill-attributed. These include who and what got or didn’t get funding by the Pentagon.

He claims that people have come together in a movie to “create a narrative that was easily digestible by the public. But anybody that knows the true history of how these UFO programs that George and I have reported on—George has reported on this before anybody—we have a problem. Houston, we have a problem. The absence of the acknowledgment of AASWAP was troubling to me.”

George Knapp thinks that Jay Stratton and Lue Elizondo weren’t “being entirely truthful,” He points out that by making a film about disclosure and honesty, one needs to be just that—honest. “We want to know the truth,” Knapp said, “tell us the truth, we can handle the truth. We want transparency. You got to live up to that standard too.”

The transparency he speaks of regards funding, purpose and leadership of the various secret government programs in question. According to Knapp, it wasn’t AATIP that got the big bucks. “AAWSAP got the 22 million,” Knapp stated. “That’s the money that Reid got for it. AATIP came later. It grew out of it. It did not have a budget that we know of. Lue Elizondo and Jay Stratton were involved in it, but they have had very vigorous, I’ll put it that way, vigorous disagreements about what program did what and who was in charge of what.”

Does this discrepancy matter? Is it important which secret government program got what and which one didn’t? It’s enough to get Knapp’s panties up in a bunch, and if anyone should know, it is him. George Knapp works for KLAS-TV (Channel 8) in Las Vegas and is the most recognized American journalist to cover paranormal and UFO related topics. He has been at it for almost 40 years.

Knapp also has a problem with former Director of National Intelligence James Clapper appearing in the film. Clapper is one of the highest ranking people promoting disclosure in the film. Knapp states:

“Let me add a little other element here: James Clapper is no friend of UFO research. When AAWSAP was trying to become a special access program, what’s not been made public is he fought tooth and nail to kill it. He was whispering to, I think Ashton Carter, at the time was the Secretary of Defense and of course it got killed. He was adamant this is useless, worthless, no value here, kill it. And it was killed … but it’s interesting now he’s out on the forefront of spilling the beans.”

Despite the criticisms, Jeremy Corbell is thankful that a film like this even exists, saying:

“I am so happy that this movie exists. The ability of this movie to. It was well made. A lot of people we know, a lot of people we brought forward initially on this topic, were shown and featured in such a cool light. It really is a huge endeavor to make a film like that. So, I congratulate Dan, I congratulate the whole team. I congratulate Jay Stratton, Lue Elizondo, people that participated.”
