George Knapp is an American investigative journalist, television reporter, and radio host whose work has shaped public UFO and UAP discourse for decades. In 1989, his reporting helped bring Bob Lazar’s Area 51 claims into wider public view. He later reported extensively on Skinwalker Ranch, the National Institute for Discovery Science, and other cases linking paranormal, defense, and UAP narratives.
Knapp is also part of the contemporary disclosure media ecosystem through collaborations with Jeremy Corbell, the Weaponized podcast, congressional submissions, and releases of debated UAP imagery. His reporting has repeatedly brought witnesses, documents, and visual material into public view, increasing pressure on agencies to address specific cases. For UAP journalism, Knapp connects Area 51 mythology, Bigelow-era research, modern whistleblower narratives, and public pressure for transparency.
