Jeremy Corbell

Jeremy Corbell (full name Jeremy Kenyon Lockyer Corbell) is an American filmmaker and one of the most visible figures in the modern UAP transparency movement. He is best known for publicly releasing leaked U.S. military UAP footage — several clips of which the Pentagon later acknowledged were genuinely filmed by Navy personnel. He is also a polarizing figure, credited with breaking real stories while criticized for relying on anonymous sources whose material can't be independently verified.

Who is Jeremy Corbell?

Corbell is a Los Angeles–based documentary filmmaker and contemporary artist who shifted his focus to UFO subjects in the late 2010s. He directed Bob Lazar: Area 51 & Flying Saucers (2018, distributed on Netflix) and Hunt for the Skinwalker, and he co-hosts the Weaponized podcast with investigative journalist George Knapp. He functions less as a witness or investigator and more as a media conduit between anonymous military and intelligence sources and the public.

What UAP footage did Jeremy Corbell release?

Corbell's confirmed first-releases are a specific set: night-vision "pyramid" footage filmed by Navy personnel near the USS Russell (April 2021); the USS Omaha "spherical object" footage and related radar data (2021); and the thermal "Jellyfish" UAP video said to be from a U.S. base in Iraq (January 2024). Importantly, he did not release the earlier and more famous FLIR1, Gimbal, and GoFast Navy videos — those came through To The Stars Academy and the Pentagon between 2017 and 2020, and are frequently mis-credited to him.

What has the Pentagon actually confirmed?

This is the key distinction for anyone assessing his work. The Pentagon confirmed that the 2021 pyramid footage and photos were taken by Navy personnel and that objects in his releases are designated "unidentified." It has not confirmed anything about the objects' nature or origin. "Authentic footage taken by the military" and "confirmed anomalous craft" are very different statements, and only the former is supported.

Why is Jeremy Corbell a polarizing figure?

Because his releases depend on anonymous sourcing, their provenance and backstories cannot be independently verified — including the dramatic narrative attached to the Jellyfish video. Skeptics have offered prosaic explanations (drones, parallax, camera artifacts) for several clips, while Corbell often implies exotic origins. Both the exotic and the fully-mundane readings remain unconfirmed; officially, the objects are unidentified, not explained.
