He Saw Four TIC TAC UFOs - Then AARO Came Calling

It’s easy to demand that UFO witnesses step forward. It’s considerably harder to live with what happens after they do.

Senior Chief Alex Wiggins never intended to become part of UFO history.

In February 2023, while serving aboard the USS Jackson off the coast of Southern California, Wiggins detected an unusual radar contact and went outside to investigate. What he says he witnessed was extraordinary: an unidentified object apparently emerging from the ocean, joining three similar Tic Tac-shaped objects, and then moving with them in coordinated formation. Navy sensors captured part of the encounter before all four objects rapidly departed.

Wiggins eventually stepped forward, told his story publicly on WEAPONIZED, and testified before Congress in September 2025. The U.S. Navy supported his decision to testify, assisted with his travel, and backed one of its own as he described under oath what he and other sailors witnessed.

But according to Wiggins, what happened afterward was very different.

In this episode of WEAPONIZED, Jeremy Corbell and George Knapp share their previously unreleased live conversation with Wiggins at Contact in the Desert, where the active-duty Senior Chief describes what he characterizes as coercion and intimidation from AARO. Wiggins says that after he declined requests to repeat his account inside a SCIF, AARO contacted his chain of command and eventually raised the possibility of escalating the matter to Secretary of War Pete Hegseth in order to compel his participation.

Why would a government office tasked with investigating UAP push an active-duty witness who had already testified publicly before Congress to recount the same information inside a classified environment?

Wiggins explains why that prospect concerned him, what his Navy leadership did in response, and why he continues to stand behind what he witnessed aboard the USS Jackson.

Jeremy and George also examine the larger battle over UFO transparency, the risks faced by military witnesses and whistleblowers, what remains hidden in government UAP archives, and why the public should keep demanding the evidence behind extraordinary claims.

The witnesses are talking.

The question is whether the government actually wants us to hear them.

A New Wave of UFO News - Why They’re Spying on Whistleblowers

After a much-needed summer break, WEAPONIZED has returned with a broad view and deep dive into an astonishing flood of UFO-UAP related news. Journalists and social media personalities who cover UFO topics have dropped story after story based on increasingly dramatic events, including revelations about alien bodies, reverse engineering programs, secret briefings of the President, highly organized and reportedly successful "luring" operations conducted by the US military, and conflicting agendas among multiple federal agencies, including AARO, ODNI, CIA, and the FBI. Witnesses, whistleblowers, and the public must be wondering if this summer-long onslaught of UFO news is part of a plan to "flood the zone" with so many UFO-related claims that the general public might become bored with the subject altogether.

In this episode, Jeremy and George recap recent developments, address the latest release of government UFO files and videos, evaluate what appears to be growing rifts between different federal agencies, and respond to a jam-packed summer of over-the-top assertions. Say, has Disclosure happened yet?
