A deep dive into long-hidden Soviet UFO programs uncovered during Glasnost. Stories include a nationwide Setka reporting network and Thread 3 seeking to reverse-engineer exotic technology. Dramatic incidents are described, like UFOs over an ICBM base allegedly interacting with launch systems. The conversation also covers modern U.S. facilities, recovered material reports, and newly released military thermal footage of triangular-orb formations.

ANECDOTE

Russian Plasma Weapon Demo

Dr. Ramili Avramenko demonstrated a desktop plasma device that instantly burned a razor blade, showing Russian beam-weapon research linked to UFO data.
He said satellites observed UFOs since 1959 and Americans had dedicated sensors while Russians mostly collected passively.

INSIGHT

Setka: Massive Soviet UFO Data Pool

Colonel Boris Sokolov ran a decade-long national program (Setka) that centralized thousands of UFO reports from all military units across the USSR.
That centralized collection enabled large-scale analysis and fed later projects like Thread 3.

ANECDOTE

ICBM Base Incident With Armed Missiles

At a Ukrainian ICBM base in 1982, witnesses say UFOs hovered four hours, then entered launch-control codes and armed missiles before departing.
Sokolov concluded the UFOs caused the activation and intended to send a message about messing with nuclear systems.

In this episode of WEAPONIZED, George Knapp and Jeremy Corbell delve into the long-secret world of Soviet-era UFO programs, drawing on Knapp’s groundbreaking investigative work in Russia during the 1990s. Amid the openness of Glasnost and Perestroika, Knapp traveled to Russia twice, securing unprecedented access to high-ranking military officials, scientists, and classified documents that revealed extensive Soviet UFO investigations, programs which U.S. intelligence believes are still underway.

Key revelations include the SETKA program - a decade-long, nationwide effort led by Colonel Boris Sokolov to collect thousands of UFO reports from military units - and Thread 3, a sophisticated analysis initiative aimed at reverse-engineering UFO technology for military advantage.

Knapp recounts dramatic incidents documented in the files, such as UFOs hovering over a Ukrainian ICBM base in 1982, where they allegedly entered launch codes and temporarily activated nuclear missiles. The discussion highlights parallels between Soviet and U.S. UFO exploitation efforts, including satellite tracking, pilot encounters, UFO landings and crashes, and the suppression of public discourse despite internal acknowledgments of blatant incursions by a non-human intelligence. Knapp explains his recent decision to release these documents publicly via Mysterywire.com, following their submission to Congress in 2025.

The episode also touches on contemporary U.S. developments, including reports of a $10 million facility at Patuxent River Naval Air Station designed to house recovered UAP materials. Corbell and Knapp emphasize the global implications of UFO reverse-engineering races and the need for government transparency.

The conversation concludes with the premiere of newly obtained military footage showing thermal orbs in triangular formation, labeled as UAP by U.S. intelligence and Department of War.
