That's just one snippet of information revealed in letters written by Knapp and investigative journalist Jeremy Corbell to the House's Oversight Committee before Wednesday's UFO hearing.
Both letters, which were first obtained by Fox News Digital and published in their entirety below, were entered into the Congressional record.
"Since 1969, the position of our military has been that UFOs pose no threat to national security and are not worthy of further study," Knapp wrote in his letter. "This dismissive attitude is directly at odds with what was revealed in documents, reports and internal memos."
As the country's eyes and ears were glued to three explosive testimonies, Corbell whispered something to Charles McCullough as George Knapp listened in with a smirk.
McCullough, who was President Barack Obama's former Intelligence Community Inspector General, represented Grusch in his Intelligence Community Inspector General complaint, purposefully seated behind him.
Comment: McCullough was also something of a whistleblower himself. In an interview with Fox News in 2017, he claimed that he had warned that Hillary Clinton's emails (stored on her private server) posed a potential national security threat. He was told to ignore it and threatened with reprisals for making an issue out of it.
These three men sat directly behind David Grusch, who was flanked by Navy pilots Ryan Graves and David Fravor during Wednesday's Congressional hearing about UFOs.
Comment: Two more interesting men were seated behind the witnesses: Ed Stanton (the bald man who somewhat resembles James Clapper) helped create the American Institute of Aeronautics and Astronautics UAP program, and retired Rear Admiral Tim Gallaudet, the former acting administrator of the NOAA.
Comment: Kirkpatrick, and by extension the Pentagon itself, are being caught out in their lies for all the world to see:
UPDATE: Pentagon spokeswoman Susan Gough has been running damage control on Kirkpatrick's unprofessional outburst. She told The Debrief: Gough herself is as shady as they come:
She wrote an unclassified paper essentially saying that military public relations is inseparable from psychological operations. Reminder that it is technically illegal for the military to run psyops on the American public, but that won't stop people like Gough (and perhaps Kirkpatrick).
Rep. Luna, who co-headed the hearing last week, responded to Kirkpatrick's screed: Luna also told the Liberation Times:
