WEAPONIZED: did the midterms just change UFO disclosure? (Knapp and Corbell with Matt Laslo)
George Knapp and Jeremy Corbell look at what the 3 November 2026 midterms mean for UAP disclosure, then talk with congressional reporter Matt Laslo of Ask a Pol. Democrats took both chambers, the outspoken UAP members (Luna, Burlison, Burchett, Moskowitz) were all re-elected, and Mike Turner, the Wright-Patterson congressman long suspected of stripping the UAP Disclosure Act from the NDAA, lost his seat. Laslo says André Carson told him he would like to chair a House UAP select committee, and that Luna and Burlison have been meeting the FBI's UAP unit and Stephen Miller. Corbell says Jay Stratton was asked to testify at another hearing and declined, that the ICIG has lost the video of Dylan Borland's drawings, that four IIRs on Knapp's Russian documents were withheld from Congress, and that he and Knapp know of active reprisals against people with direct knowledge of craft.
Leads to follow
- The four consecutive IIR numbers Corbell says cover Knapp's Russian UFO documents; he says Congress was refused them before Knapp's sworn testimony and that the numbers have now gone to Congress and journalists.
- The two triangle IIRs from the last PURSUE release: Corbell says the footage sits with AFOSI although PURSUE reported none found. Compare case/blue-triangle-over-national-security-facility-march-2023-d51, an OSI IIR.
- Dylan Borland's ICIG intake: four cameras and audio, with the video of his drawings now said to be lost.
- The FBI Special Investigations Group: what its mandate is, whom it has met in Congress, and what Corbell means by 'social mapping'.
- Whether the NDAA conference keeps the UAPDA language Burlison put in the House bill, now that Turner is leaving.
Notes
- From the daily YouTube watch, 9 Nov 2026. Checked against the re-fetched en-orig captions.
- The write-up's first pass said Stratton suggested the hearing date; the captions say the hearing organisers proposed a date and he declined.
- The write-up's first pass named Burchett as meeting the FBI unit and Stephen Miller; in the captions Laslo names Luna and Burlison ('Berles').
- SIG's history under other names and its 'social mapping' come from Corbell, not Knapp.
- Shield AI announced a black-triangle VTOL stealth drone for the Navy. Corbell argues such craft would be loud and new, so they cannot account for decades of silent triangles; Knapp recalls the NIDS triangle study. Commentary only.
- Already on file: Warner's 'China' answer on Langley (person/mark-warner), the three failed electromagnetic attempts during the 2019 swarms, and the Soviet order to leave UFOs alone (person/george-knapp).
- Laslo expects Robert Garcia to chair Oversight (his first stated priorities do not include UAP) and Jim Himes to chair HPSCI; no records for either.
- Carson's push for AARO's Historical Record Report vol. II is already on person/andre-carson.
