George Knapp Testimony: Lockheed-BAASS 'Unusual Materials' Transfer Negotiation
01 Executive_Summary
ASSESSMENT: George Knapp (Chief Investigative Reporter, KLAS-TV Las Vegas) testified UNDER OATH before the House Task Force on Declassification (September 9, 2025) that Robert Bigelow authorized him to inform Congress about a NEGOTIATION FOR MATERIALS TRANSFER between LOCKHEED MARTIN and BAASS (Bigelow Aerospace Advanced Space Studies). DETAILS: Mid-2000s negotiation (2004-2008 range). Lockheed Martin had 'unusual materials' to transfer to BAASS. Bigelow granted Knapp permission to state this under oath. The arrangement did NOT ultimately proceed. Substance of materials: 'whether engineered alloys, fragments, or a more complete system — was not established.' No corroborating documentation presented. CRITICAL: This is the SECOND direct Lockheed-UAP materials connection (after Davis SCIF revelation). Lockheed had unusual materials + was willing to transfer to BAASS (DIA's AAWSAP contractor). Same timeframe as Davis's 'two decades' crash retrieval (~2004). CORBELL/KNAPP ON LACATSKI (November 2025): 'Lacatski's claim that US government holds at least one craft not made by contemporary human industry.' 'Investigators have physically accessed the object's structure.' 'DOE links' — Department of Energy connection to UAP. 'Role of counterintelligence in shaping public narratives.' KNAPP BACKGROUND: 38 years covering UFO story (since 1987). Co-authored 'Hunt for the Skinwalker' (2005) with Kelleher. Co-authored 'Skinwalkers at the Pentagon' (2021) with Lacatski and Kelleher.
