Jeremy Kenyon Lockyer Corbell is an American contemporary artist, filmmaker, and investigative journalist who has become one of the most prominent and visible figures in the modern UFO/UAP (Unidentified Anomalous Phenomena) disclosure movement.
His background is eclectic:
Artist: He began his career as a mixed-media artist, exploring themes of perception and reality.
Filmmaker: He transitioned into documentary filmmaking, focusing primarily on paranormal and UFO-related topics. This is how most people know him.
Investigator & Journalist: He now primarily operates as an investigative journalist, working to obtain and publicize evidence, whistleblower testimony, and government documents related to UAPs.
Corbell is known for his intense, passionate, and sometimes theatrical style. He is a frequent guest on podcasts and news programs and maintains a strong presence on social media to disseminate his findings directly to the public.
Corbell's mission can be summarized as forcing transparency and accelerating official disclosure on the UAP topic by leveraging media, public interest, and official government channels.
His core objectives are:
To Legitimize the Topic: He works to move the UAP conversation from the fringes of "fringe conspiracy theory" into the mainstream of serious public and political discourse. He does this by focusing on evidence from credible military witnesses (Navy pilots, intelligence officials), official government documents, and radar data.
To Serve as a Media Conduit for Whistleblowers: Corbell has positioned himself as a trusted outlet for insiders (military personnel, government contractors, intelligence officials) who have information about UAPs but are afraid or unable to come forward through official channels. He verifies their credentials and then helps bring their stories and evidence to light through his films and media appearances.
To Investigate and Publicize Evidence: He actively investigates specific cases, such as the now-famous "Tic Tac" UFO incident and the "GoFast" and "Gimbal" videos released by the Pentagon. He works to get additional context, witness interviews, and related evidence about these events.
To Expose a Historic Cover-Up: A central pillar of his mission is the assertion that various elements within the U.S. government and military-industrial complex have been hiding the truth about the non-human origin of some UAPs and the reverse-engineering of their technology for decades. He aims to expose this alleged "legacy program" and break the secrecy surrounding it.
It's important to note: Corbell does not claim to have all the answers about what UFOs/UAPs are (e.g., whether they are extraterrestrial, interdimensional, or something else). His primary focus is on proving that something real and technologically advanced is operating in our skies and that the government has been lying about it.
This is a key part of his strategy. By submitting evidence and analysis directly to Congress, Corbell is attempting to:
Bypass traditional government secrecy. He provides information directly to the oversight bodies (like the House Oversight Committee) that are supposed to investigate the executive branch and its agencies (like the Pentagon and intelligence community).
Formally enter his evidence into the public record.
Assist lawmakers who may not have the resources or access to quickly get up to speed on the complex history and details of the UAP issue.
Regarding "The UAP Puzzle" (July 2023):
This submission was a strategic document provided to the House Oversight Committee ahead of their historic public hearing on UAPs on July 26, 2023.
The document was not a single piece of new evidence but rather a compilation and synthesis designed to help lawmakers understand the scope of the issue. It reportedly included:
Analysis of classic UAP cases (like the 2004 Nimitz "Tic Tac" incident).
Information on the characteristics of UAPs (their observed flight capabilities, such as instantaneous acceleration, trans-medium travel, and lack of visible propulsion).
Details on patterns of government secrecy and the alleged retrieval and reverse-engineering of non-human technology.
A push for specific legislative actions, such as the use of eminent domain to force private defense contractors (which he and others allege hold the legacy UAP programs) to hand over any retrieved materials and technology to the government.
This was not his first submission. He has previously provided classified and unclassified evidence to members of the Senate Intelligence and Armed Services committees, as well as to the Pentagon's UAP task forces (AATIP and AARO).
Corbell is a polarizing figure. His supporters see him as a brave and essential journalist breaking a huge story. His critics argue:
His style is overly sensationalistic and focused on self-promotion.
He sometimes makes grand claims that are not immediately backed by the evidence he presents.
He blurs the line between documentary filmmaking and journalism.
Despite the criticism, his impact on the modern UAP discourse is undeniable. He has been instrumental in bringing several key pieces of evidence and witness testimony into the public eye, contributing directly to the increased pressure on the U.S. government to address the UAP phenomenon openly.
