What was said

"Then he came to my house and, uh, I was pretty sure he was ONI, Office of Naval Intelligence, or something, or maybe CIA. I know he's not CIA. I'm not convinced about the ONI part of it now still."

George Knapp publicly admitted he initially believed Jeremy Corbell was an undercover operative for the Office of Naval Intelligence or CIA when they first met, due to Corbell's persistent contact attempts and enthusiasm. Knapp joked he remains unconvinced about the ONI possibility, highlighting the paranoia and operational security concerns that pervade serious UFO investigation.
