Release Date: August 3, 2025

Introduction

In Episode 702 of the Duncan Trussell Family Hour, host Duncan Trussell welcomes Jeremy Corbell, a renowned ufologist and UFO enthusiast. Corbell is recognized for his pivotal role in the movement toward the disclosure of UFO-related information in the United States. His efforts include participating in Senate hearings and spearheading initiatives aimed at compelling the U.S. government to release classified information regarding unexplained aerial phenomena.

Jeremy Corbell's Work and Predictions

Duncan begins by highlighting Corbell's presence in the UFO community, noting his frequent appearances and influential predictions. Duncan asks Corbell about his foresight regarding the emergence of interstellar objects being labeled as spaceships:

Duncan Trussell [00:00]: "...you made a prediction that at some point the people would start saying, there's an interstellar object coming towards Earth. That is a spaceship. And you said, you're gonna start hearing this, and it's bullshit."

Jeremy Corbell [01:53]: "It was a way to get people to feel like they're part of a secret club. You should really listen up and get behind me..."

Corbell explains that his prediction was based on observing a "whisper campaign" within the UFO community aimed at enrolling people into specific agendas based on classified information from 2027 to 2036. He emphasizes that his skepticism was an attempt to counteract what he deemed as disinformation.

Discussion on Interstellar Objects and UFOs

The conversation shifts to recent astronomical events, such as the appearance of interstellar objects entering our solar system. Duncan references sightings of objects like 'Oumuamua and a new object with an anomalous trajectory, suggesting potential extraterrestrial origins.

Duncan Trussell [03:35]: "There are two of these events happening in a relatively short span of time... Avi Loeb... says it could be a UFO. Are we ready for this?"

Corbell clarifies that while he acknowledges the curiosity sparked by these objects, he remains doubtful about their extraterrestrial nature. He attributes the increased media attention to sensationalism and reiterates his stance against the idea of slow-moving interstellar crafts approaching Earth.

Government Secrecy and National Security

A significant portion of the discussion delves into the U.S. government's handling of UFO information. Corbell asserts that the existence of non-human intelligence-made craft is a closely guarded secret, surpassing even nuclear programs in terms of secrecy.

Jeremy Corbell [36:27]: "I know that UFOs and the subject itself are treated above weapons of mass destruction... they have a portfolio of UAP related investigation because they know these power sources are dangerous if in the wrong hands."

He highlights instances where attempts to transfer UFO-related projects within government agencies were shut down to protect national security interests. Corbell emphasizes the challenges journalists face in bringing this information to the public without endangering sources or compromising national security.

Disclosure and Public Disclosure Efforts

Corbell and Duncan discuss the concept of "disclosure," questioning what the public is being promised versus what is being delivered. Corbell is critical of the demand for tangible evidence, such as sightings of alien spacecraft, arguing that mere stories and partial footage are insufficient for genuine understanding.

Jeremy Corbell [05:04]: "...what you're hearing is a trend I'm seeing as somebody in this space of people trying to convince me of nonsense to enroll me."

He advocates for a gradual and responsible release of information through official channels, believing that slow and steady disclosure will be more effective and believable than catastrophic revelations.

Challenges Faced by Journalists

The conversation touches on the personal and professional risks Corbell faces as a journalist delving into sensitive UFO topics. He mentions intimidation tactics, including inquiries from the Department of Justice, which aim to suppress information sharing.

Jeremy Corbell [32:54]: "I've had a situation where FBI has been calling around a lot of the people that I communicate with and kind of icing, you know, putting some ice on it."

Despite these challenges, Corbell remains committed to uncovering and disseminating the truth about UFOs, stressing the importance of public debate and awareness.

Potential Impact of Disclosure

In contemplating the implications of full disclosure, both Duncan and Jeremy explore the transformative potential for humanity's understanding of its place in the universe. Corbell expresses hope that acknowledging extraterrestrial existence can inspire creativity, technological innovation, and a sense of interconnectedness.

Jeremy Corbell [45:30]: "I'd like to believe that knowledge of the natural world is empowering and beautiful and that even if it's scary and a little bit dangerous, that it's better to have the eyes open as human beings."

Duncan adds a philosophical perspective, questioning the nature and intentions of extraterrestrial beings, and whether their intelligence correlates with benevolence.

Duncan Trussell [31:17]: "...we assume because they're technologically advanced, they're smart in the way we are. Has it occurred to you they might be fucking idiots?"

Conclusion

The episode concludes with Corbell reaffirming his dedication to unveiling the truth about UFOs through responsible journalism and persistent advocacy for transparency. He envisions a future where humanity embraces its place in a larger cosmic community, free from deception and obfuscation.

Jeremy Corbell [37:21]: "That's the goal, is slow and steady and not just some sort of catastrophic disclosure where everything's dumped in people's laps."

Duncan Trussell thanks Corbell for his contributions and encourages listeners to engage with his work, emphasizing the importance of informed and inquisitive discourse on the subject of UFOs and extraterrestrial life.
