George Knapp's Credibility

[Schmoe]

I haven't seen George Knapp's Netflix series "Investigation Alien" mentioned here. It's very possible I suck at searching, but I'm looking for opinions on a particular video he showed on that series.

He had a boat crew and an underwater archaeologist head out to the channel islands off California to investigate underwater UFO bases, and this video was supposedly captured by an unmanned camera on the boat later on. Conveniently captured in the center of the frame.

The shortest version I found is posted below, on Corbell's YouTube channel. You can skip to 1:35.

My opinion is that video is staged. The object seems pretty close to the boat, especially once the light intensifies underwater. It looks so fake to me that I can't believe Knapp aired it.

George doesn't seem like a dummy, so I can't say this boat crew pulled one over on Knapp with a hoaxed video and he innocently aired it. I had a relatively good opinion of Knapp before he gave us this. Thoughts?

I think George Knapp wants to believe so badly in aliens his journalistic skills are hampered. Bob Lazar is a big one with Knapp. I personally don't believe Lazars story, one being hes claimed to have physical evidence for over 35 years and has yet to produce it in that time. All he has is a story without it and can keep it going another 35 years because diehard believers don't require anything from him and he knows it. Lazar has roped Knapp into this story, Knapp once claimed he knew where Lazar buried some 115. Isn't it as simple as telling someone where this is buried or digging it up and showing a piece? With Jeremy Corbells documentary on Lazar, Knapp said saw the video Lazar taped showing element 115 bending light. He's searched for the video and can't find it? Hmmmmmmmmmm..... gullible?

We did submit our questions, however since then we haven't had feedback.

I submit that Deny Ignorance was a tiny speck, compared to what ATS was, and the
commitment may have slipped in priority.... patience is good grace...

But good grace is often in short order.

Someone will keep us posted...

Certainly has that feel to it, the AMA was submitted a year ago. Nobody's THAT busy.

Those are good points. I was on the fence for a long time with Lazar in the 30 years I've been following this topic. Really all I had to go on was his mostly consistent story, his (to me) genuine demeanor, and as far as I know he didn't really make money off the story.

The longer it goes, the more convoluted the topic gets. I took a break from it after Greer, who I've never seen slap a date on anything, promised something big in January and didn't deliver. Not that I was shocked.

I used to be convinced that we have been and currently are being visited, now I don't even really care. I believe in the existence of intelligent aliens, I'm just not so sure they're here. I've seen two things in the sky in my lifetime that I couldn't explain, but it could easily have been our advanced tech.

I was on the fence with George for a very long time.  Seemed that he always popped up when the UFO-lore du'jour made any traction in the news.  After watching his special on Netiflix I have a little more confidence in him.  Just a little..

I think most are in it for the money grab nowadays. Look at Coast to Coasts feed and all the bullshit clickbait.

It makes me miss people like Art Bell and Stanton Friedman.

It sure seems that way. Art Bell on Coast to Coast was a gem. I don't know if most of the callers were legit, but the show was entertaining at the very least. He was a great interviewer. I haven't listened in a long time, is it still George Noory now?

Knapp is one of the few I trust.

i do not like his association with Corbell who seems like a money chaser and has pulled Knapp in using his name as a springboard.
