The document that you provided on Thread 3, this is a huge file. How in the world did you smuggle this out of Russia? Carefully. In your socks?
Yes.
I don't think I want to be really specific about it because I might have to go back there and get some more sometime. Okay.
You took a couple trips to Russia, and it was during Glasnost and Perestroika, and there was an openness, and you got in contact with the leads, the heads of the UFO programs out there, but also people that were heads of strategic air defense and very serious Soviet Union military individuals who opened up to you
And it seemed like it was a window of opportunity to see what the Russians know about UFOs. And really, I did say from that point, we might learn more from the Russians about what the U.S. government knows than the U.S. government is ever going to admit.
This is Weaponized.
This is Weaponized. I'm George Knapp here in Las Vegas, joined by my friend and colleague, Jeremy Korbel. Jeremy, how's your day going?
It's great, man. Doing a lot of other work rather than UAP, but man, I'm really excited today to talk with you about what we're talking about and hopefully show people something they haven't seen before as well.
Well, I guess Russia, Russia documents, Russia UFO programs. We've been talking about them for a long time on Weaponized. I've reported it over the years and spoken about it in public. But until that congressional hearing in September of 2025, I'd never really made public all the documents, at least not the bulk of the documents. And You know, I'm not sure how it went over with the with the congressional folks. They didn't publish them. I didn't really expect them to do that. I'm not sure that they know what to do with them at all. But I figured, well, they haven't made them public. I'm going to go ahead and do it because they're out there, you know, so. Mystery Wire, my site at KLAS, the site which is kind of an accumulation of all the stories I've done on UFOs and other mysteries over the years, has been revived.
They've got me doing a little talk show that promotes it. They're reorganizing the old content. We're adding new content, full, raw interviews. And I figured that would be a good spot to kick it off. And these documents would get a lot of attention that way. So that's where we put them up. The first two documents, that is.
Let me back up a little bit just for our audience, which is that back in the early 90s, you took a couple of trips to Russia and it was during glasnost and perestroika. And there was an openness and you got in contact with the leads, the heads of the UFO programs out there, but also people that were heads of like strategic air defense and very serious Soviet Union programs. military individuals who opened up to you because they didn't fear death and murder at the time about UFOs and very famously you smuggled back classified Russian documents about the UFO program how they were dealing with the UFO thing and something you said to me many times you and me having a beer in your kitchen over the last decade or so you're like man these documents taught us more I
about our American UFO exploitation reverse engineering programs than we even knew by reading the Russian or Soviet Union documents. So for our audience to kind of just understand that, that was one thing that you did in your journalism career. And you also did, many people in the intelligence agency have said to me, you did a solid for America.
What was the significance of the SETKA program in Soviet UFO investigations?
you pass those on to the intelligence agencies to basically look at and translate and try to figure out what's going on.
