AARO Under Kirkpatrick Acted as Counterintelligence Operation Against UFO Witnesses
"For, you know, for, for people who say I don't answer questions directly, here's a direct answer. You are 100% correct. It is exactly my assessment, and I can back it up. And there are a number of ways in the court of law Arrow was acting as a counterintelligence against the American public to siphon out what people knew and then to be able to clamp down on them. It was a honey trap."
About this episode
In this expansive conversation, host Jesse Michaels sat down with filmmaker and investigative journalist Jeremy Corbell for a deep dive into UFO disclosure, government intelligence operations, and the ongoing battle for transparency. Corbell, known for breaking the Bob Lazar story into mainstream consciousness and hosting the Weaponized podcast with George Knapp, made several explosive claims about active counterintelligence campaigns targeting UFO whistleblowers. Most significantly, Corbell alleged that the Office of the Director of National Intelligence, working with CIA elements, ran a nine-month operation to entrap him, Knapp, and key witnesses including Dylan Borland and Matthew Brown, with the goal of fabricating evidence and controlling congressional UFO investigations. He revealed that an ODNI agent disclosed classified testimony about a UFO reverse engineering program called Project Rubik's Cube and described a pyramid-shaped non-human power source. Corbell also discussed the suspicious death of Matthew Sullivan, a scheduled congressional witness with alleged direct craft access who died two weeks before testimony, now under FBI investigation. The conversation covered Corbell's journey from meeting Bob Lazar and John Lear to facilitating numerous classified congressional briefings, his assessment that AARO under Kirkpatrick functioned as a counterintelligence honeypot rather than legitimate investigation, and his belief that certain factions within government want limited disclosure while legacy programs actively suppress it. Corbell defended whistleblowers including David Grusch, detailed Matthew Brown's discovery of the Immaculate Constellation program, and discussed Dylan Borland's triangle UFO encounter at a military base. Throughout, he emphasized the need for public pressure, independent journalism, and protecting sources while pushing for truth.
Key takeaways
- Corbell alleged ODNI and CIA ran a nine-month counterintelligence operation to entrap him, George Knapp, and UFO whistleblowers Dylan Borland and Matthew Brown.
- An ODNI agent disclosed to Corbell that Dylan Borland testified under oath about a classified UFO program called Project Rubik's Cube and a pyramid-shaped non-human power source.
- Matthew Sullivan, scheduled to testify to Congress about direct UFO craft access, died two weeks before testimony in what the FBI is investigating as potentially suspicious.
- Corbell stated he can prove in court that AARO under Dr. Sean Kirkpatrick acted as counterintelligence to harass whistleblowers rather than investigate UAP claims.
- Corbell has facilitated over ten classified congressional briefings with UFO witnesses and claims multiple sources have confirmed biologics and craft in government possession.
- He believes Bob Lazar was legitimately at S4 based on corroboration from pilots and other witnesses, and that reverse engineering programs are compartmentalized across contractors.
- Corbell warned that a CIA-backed media outlet emerged around 2019 to shape UFO narratives and that organized disinformation campaigns target researchers on social media.
