A new, secretly filmed documentary profiling one of the most prominent names in the UFO disclosure movement has crash-landed at the height of the federal government’s release of unclassified documents pertaining to otherworldly encounters. 

"Sleeping Dog," directed by Michael Lazovsky, follows prominent investigative journalist Jeremy Corbell throughout his decades-long efforts regarding unidentified anomalous phenomena (UAP) transparency. 

Corbell has served as a key figure in the disclosure movement by platforming UAP whistleblowers and facilitating Congressional hearings to bring attention to the topic, with the documentary focusing primarily on his efforts to implore federal officials to release classified information regarding UFOs to the American public. 

"There are machines, there are craft of unknown origin that fly with impunity in our restricted airspace, and our government has been assessing this as a national threat for decades," Corbell told "The Sunday Briefing" earlier this month. "The jig is up. People now know UAP are real."

EXPLOSIVE NEW DOCUMENTARY PROBES '80-YEAR GLOBAL COVERUP' OF UFO SECRETS

The documentary — which was filmed in secret over the span of several years — also reveals previously unreleased footage from Corbell’s investigations and includes interviews from several prominent names in the movement, including astronaut Edgar Mitchell, David Grusch and George Knapp. 

"[Corbell] revealed a bunch of videos that he had access to that ended up being a part of the Department of War's UAP file drop — which was fascinating. So he's in the know," Josh Golembeske, senior director of production at Gaia and guest host of the series "Cosmic Disclosure," told Fox News Digital. 

Corbell has spent 14 years compiling UAP-related secrets at a time when information surrounding the phenomenon has been met with public skepticism and government pushback.

The result of his efforts has been far-reaching, with experts pointing to a newfound sense of legitimacy toward UAP footage and documentation. 

"The evidence is overwhelming that we’re being visited," Golembeske said. "There’s been a lid put on it."

"We have all this information, but I think it's more about the information coming to light finally," he added.

The film comes on the heels of President Donald Trump’s push for federal transparency pertaining to UAPs, with a second batch of declassified documents released by the Department of War last week.

"There's been a long push from the public and behind the scenes to get to this moment," Golembeske said. "That push also leaked into the [Trump] administration. So now this administration is more open to it." 

While Golembeske has long advocated for full federal transparency, he believes that the current method of controlled information releases by officials is the best way to acclimate the public to news of UAP discoveries and sightings.

"I think this is a slow drip disclosure, and you could argue it's compassionate disclosure," Golembeske told Fox News Digital. "This is actually how I would do it, because I know that people are going to be shocked and I wouldn't just drop everything on them."

However, Golembeske cautions against officials using the releases to negatively portray the possibility of alien life, potentially skewing the public perception of otherworldly beings and technology.

"I like what I'm seeing now, but I worry about a fear-based disclosure versus a hope-based disclosure," Golembeske said. "Part of my mission here and part of my mission at Gaia is to empower the evolution of consciousness – and all the evidence suggests there is nothing to fear." 

In light of the renewed interest in UAP disclosure and discovery – along with high-profile documentary releases, such as "Sleeping Dog" – Golembeske remains optimistic that the narrative surrounding UFOs will continue to gain traction nationwide.

"I wouldn't have said this five years ago, but it feels like something is imminent," Golembeske told Fox News Digital. "It does feel like we're building towards a moment and the genie can't be put back in the bottle – I think it's gone too far." 

Fox News Digital reached out to Corbell and the film's distributor, Falcon Scout Media, for comment.

NEW ORLEANS — The sounds of ship horns and ceremonial salutes echoed across the New Orleans waterfront this week as the city marked the first stop of Sail 250, a nationwide celebration marking America’s 250th anniversary.

Tall ships and military vessels from around the world docked along the Mississippi River as part of the months-long maritime celebration, offering the public a look inside ships that are rarely open to visitors.

Among them is the USCGC Eagle. It’s known as "America’s Tall Ship," a 295-foot training vessel and the only active square-rigger in U.S. government service.

Stepping aboard the Eagle feels like stepping back in time.

With 23 sails, six miles of rigging and roughly 150 Coast Guard trainees on board, life aboard the ship still runs the old-fashioned way. Cadets climb towering masts, work the rigging by hand and train high above the deck while learning the fundamentals of seamanship.

VETERANS TURN WAS STORIES INTO MUSIC AT KENNEDY CENTER 

Below deck sits another reminder of America’s history, a newspaper printing of the Declaration of Independence.

"Back then, the best technology was the newspaper broadside, a single printed page," said Seth Kaller, an expert in historical documents. "What people needed to hear, to be able to read, is the text of the Declaration of Independence. And this is how somebody in 1776 would have experienced the Declaration of Independence."

The Eagle serves as a training ground for future Coast Guard officers, teaching leadership, teamwork and technical seamanship skills.

"And for 80 years, since 1946, this ship has sailed with the future officers of the United States Coast Guard," said Capt. Christopher Ensley, commanding officer of the USCGC Eagle. "Teaching leadership, teamwork, technical skills like seamanship and navigation and frankly, getting them salty, getting them ready to serve at sea."

AMERICA’S DEBT TO THE FALLEN STILL REMAINS 

That training eventually leads to ships like the USCGC Mohawk, where Coast Guard crews carry out modern-day missions ranging from migrant interdictions to drug enforcement operations.

"We have two small boats on board that we pretty much use on a daily basis and that help us do all of our missions that we can’t quite accomplish just on a larger boat," said Ensign Riley Thorburn aboard the Mohawk.

But Sail 250 is not just showcasing history. It's also highlighting modern military life at sea.

Docked nearby is the USS Kearsarge, an amphibious assault ship home to nearly 3,000 sailors and Marines during deployment, including about 1,250 sailors and 1,800 Marines. Inside, the ship functions like a floating city, with pilots, flight crews, cooks, doctors and firefighters all working around the clock while deployed around the world. 

"Every sailor is a firefighter to a certain extent," said Damage Controlman Allison Anutta during a firefighting demonstration aboard the Kearsarge.

Fox News embedded with sailors and Marines during the ship’s journey into New Orleans, getting a firsthand look at daily life, including suiting up in firefighting gear used during emergency response drills.

The ship’s firefighting capability is part of a broader mission set that extends far beyond combat operations. The Kearsarge can be configured to carry around eight F-35 aircraft depending on mission requirements and supports a wide range of deployments, from humanitarian response to combat readiness.

Onboard is also a 39-person Fleet Surgical Team responsible for stabilizing and treating patients at sea.

"We are a microcosm of the American population," said Cmdr. Timothy Brooks, senior medical officer aboard the ship. "All the chronic health issues that happen in America are also over here… and so we're doing everything we can to maintain just good general health."

Other crew members described the versatility and pride of their roles.

"We rescue, we protect, and we deliver, on a moment’s notice anywhere in the world," Naval Air Crewman Bryan Morch explained. 

The arrival in New Orleans also featured ceremonial moments, including a 21-gun salute and the sound of ship horns echoing along the Mississippi River as the fleet marked the start of the national celebration.

For Marines aboard the ship, the mission is rooted in service and sacrifice.

"Greater love is no man than he who would lay his life down for a friend," U.S. Marine Grace Shneider quoted from the book of John in the Bible. "When I think of the military, that’s what I think of."

As America approaches its 250th anniversary, crew members said they view their work as part of a continuing legacy of service and history.

AMERICA 250: WRIGHT BROTHERS 

"Anybody who wants to raise the right hand to serve the country… they can’t help but appreciate the history of great things that have gone before," Cmdr. Brooks said.

The Sail 250 fleet will continue its journey up the East Coast with upcoming stops in Norfolk, Baltimore, New York and Boston as celebrations continue nationwide.

The party's over.

Transgender athlete AB Hernandez finished one of the most highly-publicized high school sports careers in modern history on Saturday night at the California track and field state championship, winning two titles and sharing podium spots with female competitors.

Hernandez took first place in the girls' high jump and triple jump, and third place in the long jump. Last year, Hernandez won the triple jump and high jump state championships and finished second in the long jump.

And just like last year, Hernandez shared every podium appearance alongside the female competitor who finished one spot behind the athlete. The California Interscholastic Federation (CIF) reimplemented the same pilot program used at last year's championships, awarding podium recognition to every girl who finished directly behind Hernandez.

At Saturday's girls' high jump podium ceremony, Hernandez's final podium appearance of the night, multiple girls shared podium spots, leaving one side of the podium completely empty.

Images of Hernandez sharing podium spots with female opponents became an infamous viral point of debate over the last two weeks leading up to the finals, after the CIF's controversial policy change.

The policy came under intense scrutiny from women's sports activists and even Hernandez's supporters, including the athlete's mother, after it was re-implemented three weeks ago at the CIF Southern Section finals.

The images fueled a heated political debate over trans athletes in women's sports that has followed Hernandez's high school career since the 2024-2025 school year.

The political intersection of Hernandez's high school career reached a fever pitch during championship weekend, with the athlete appearing in a video with Democrat California gubernatorial candidate Tom Steyer on the morning of the CIF championship preliminary round on Friday. Later that day, Republican gubernatorial candidate Steve Hilton headlined a rally outside the preliminary advocating for the protection of girls' sports.

LGBTQ ACTIVISTS SPEAK OUT AFTER 'SAVE GIRLS SPORTS' RALLY ROCKS CALIFORNIA TRACK MEET WITH A TRANS ATHLETE

Then on Saturday, a press conference, organized by the local California LGBTQ advocacy groups Pride at the Pier and Rainbow Families Action, took place outside the CIF state championship, and police were summoned as Hernandez supporters engaged in a war of words with "Save Girls Sports" activists.

Hernandez's mother, Nereyda Hernandez, and other LGBTQ activists spoke in support of the trans athlete.

Near the end of the press conference, a group of "Save Girls Sports" activists showed up and engaged in a heated verbal confrontation with participants in the LGBTQ press conference.

Clovis Police Department vehicles were parked in the vicinity, and multiple officers came to oversee the confrontation when the shouting began.

Eventually, the confrontation dissipated without any direct intervention by police.

Hernandez went on to win two state titles later that night, bouncing back from the loss in the long jump to dominate the high jump and long jump. The athlete competed in both events simultaneously, running back and forth between the two events as one of the only athletes to compete in both.

Now, with Hernandez's high school career over, California is left with an ongoing conflict over the issue of biological males in girls' sports.

The U.S. Department of Justice is currently suing education agencies in the state for its policies that allow trans athletes to compete against females, and Hernandez's school district, Jurupa Unified School District, is under investigation by the Department of Education.

California's gubernatorial primary is also just days away, with the issue of transgender athletes in girls' sports emerging as a prominent campaign topic as Hilton seeks to secure a spot in the general election later this year.

Los Angeles Mayor Karen Bass and her challengers spent the final weekend before Election Day crisscrossing the city as a surprisingly competitive mayoral race heads toward a likely runoff.

Bass, who is seeking a second term, is up against former reality star Spencer Pratt and city council member Nithya Raman in Tuesday’s primary election.

Recent polling has shown a competitive race as no candidate is expected to receive more than 50% of the vote. The top two finishers would then advance to a November runoff.

On Saturday, Bass — who is backed by high-profile Democrats, including former Vice President Kamala Harris and California Gov. Gavin Newsom — stopped at Yosemite Recreation Center in Eagle Rock.

She was seen serving tacos while wearing an apron bearing the slogan "Common Sense and Carne Asada."

During an Instagram livestream Saturday, Bass also took aim at Pratt.

"You have a failed reality TV star who wants to be famous," she said while speaking with two actresses before appearing to reference President Donald Trump. "We know what it means if you put somebody who is a reality TV star in a seat of power."

BAN ON BACKYARD BARBECUES ON CERTAIN DAYS IN CALIFORNIA FLOATED AS OTHERS PUSH BACK HARD

Pratt spent part of Saturday criticizing Raman on X, including attacking her recent campaign advertisements.

In a video posted to Instagram, Raman pointed to a recent poll and urged supporters to vote.

"After millions of dollars of spending against us, we are still here and we are still competitive," she said.

KAREN BASS GRILLED OVER BROKEN HOMELESSNESS PROMISE, BLAMES BUREAUCRACY FOR SLOWED PROGRESS

Pratt, who is best known for his role on "The Hills," has gained attention in the race by criticizing Bass over the response to the January 2025 wildfires that destroyed thousands of structures, including his Pacific Palisades home.

He has also sharply criticized Bass over homelessness, drug addiction and crime.

Pratt has gained momentum in recent weeks and secured endorsements from fellow reality television personalities, actors, musicians and media figures.

Still, Pratt — a registered Republican — faces significant challenges in a city where Democratic candidates have historically dominated local elections.

President Donald Trump remains in "excellent health," his physician said in a memo released Friday following the president’s annual physical earlier this week.

The report came after Trump underwent his annual examination Tuesday at Walter Reed National Military Medical Center.

"President Donald Trump remains in excellent health, demonstrating strong cardiac, pulmonary, neurological, and overall physical function," Navy Capt. Sean P. Barbabella, the president’s physician, wrote in the memo.

"His demanding daily schedule, including multiple high-level meetings, public engagements and regular physical activity, continues to support his overall well-being," Barbabella continued. "Cognitive and physical performance are excellent."

"He is fully fit to carry out all duties of the Commander-in-Chief and Head of State," he added.

The evaluation included diagnostic studies, laboratory testing and consultations with 22 specialty providers.

Trump, who turns 80 in June, is 75 inches tall and weighs 238 pounds. He has a resting heart rate of 73 beats per minute, a blood pressure reading of 105/71 mmHg and an oxygen saturation level of 98% on room air, according to the report.

The examination did not identify any major health concerns.

Barbabella noted scarring on Trump’s right ear from the gunshot wound he suffered during an assassination attempt in 2024.

The physician also reported mild lower-leg swelling, which he said had improved from the previous year.

Trump underwent a neurological examination that demonstrated "normal mental status," including cognitive screening in which he scored 30 out of 30, according to the report.

Barbabella also noted bruising on the president’s hand "consistent with minor soft tissue irritation related to frequent handshaking in the setting of aspirin use for cardiovascular prevention."

The physician reported no significant abnormalities in Trump’s laboratory results.

Trump’s "lifelong abstinence from tobacco and alcohol" was also highlighted in his medical history.

According to the memo, Trump currently takes three medications: Rosuvastatin and Ezetimibe for cholesterol management, along with aspirin for cardiovascular prevention.

Maryland Lt. Gov. Aruna Miller pushed back on President Donald Trump’s call for a Justice Department investigation into a state mail-in ballot error, rejecting allegations of corruption and arguing election administration mistakes occur in almost "every election."

Trump called for the DOJ to open an investigation into some Maryland voters receiving incorrect mail-in ballots for the upcoming primary elections, after election officials admitted to an error by the state’s election board. This prompted Trump to put the blame on Democrat Gov. Wes Moore, accusing him of corruptly interfering with the election process to ensure a win for Democrats.

The Maryland State Board of Elections announced that it had been "made aware of an error by our mail-in ballot vendor," Taylor Print & Visual Impressions (TPVI), Inc.

TRUMP CALLS FOR DOJ PROBE INTO MARYLAND MAIL-IN BALLOT ERROR, SUSPECTING 'CORRUPT' GOV. WES MOORE TIES

"This was done by the Corrupt Governor of the State, Wes Moore," Trump wrote on Truth Social May 18. "He allowed this to happen in order to make sure that Democrats win. 

Miller told Fox News Digital that the Maryland State Board of Elections operates independently from the governor's administration and characterized ballot-distribution errors as a recurring issue in election administration. 

"The administration, they’re a separate body from us, the board of elections," Miller said.

"And it happens, sometimes," she continued. "Ballots get mailed the wrong way. It happens almost in every election.

While election administration errors have occurred in Maryland, including a voter-roll software glitch in 2018, there is no publicly available evidence showing that incorrect mail ballots are an "every election" occurrence.

The state elections board will send out new ballots to all voters who were mailed one before May 14, acknowledging that many voters receiving new ballots may not have been affected by the mishap. 

The state elections board said there was "no risk of duplicate voting as a result of this issue," claiming the state has safeguards in place to avoid this from happening. 

Trump also questioned how the issue would be resolved without any potential threat of duplicate voting.

POLITICAL STINK: MARYLAND GOV. WES MOORE CALLS TRUMP’S SEWAGE SPILL BLAME ‘ABSURD'

"In Maryland, they sent out 500,000 Illegal Mail In Ballots, and they got caught!" Trump wrote on Truth Social. "So now, they’re going to send out 500,000 more Mail In Ballots, but nobody knows what’s happening with the first 500,000 they sent." 

"In addition, many of these Ballots went to Democrats, so any Republican running in Maryland doesn’t have a chance!" 

Miller rejected the idea that this issue was intentional or was the result of corruption within the state.

"I don’t think it was in malice, in any bad way that this happened," she told Fox News Digital. "I think it was just error by the vendor."

State Administrator of Elections Jared DeMarinis also denied Trump’s claim that any "illegal" ballots were distributed. 

MARYLAND BALLOT BLUNDER TRIGGERS GOP PUSH FOR FEDERAL REVIEW OF BLUE STATE'S VOTER ROLLS

Trump said he has asked Attorney General Todd Blanche and the Justice Department to investigate the ballot error, but the DOJ has not publicly announced the opening of an investigation.

Miller also said that she has not had any information shared with her by the DOJ into what the investigation will entail. 

"We’ll see what the investigation shows," Miller said.

Three protesters dubbed the "Spokane 3" were convicted Thursday on federal conspiracy charges stemming from protests against U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) operations in Washington state last year.

The defendants — Jac Archer, Justice Forral and Bajun Mavalwalla II — were accused of attempting to prevent federal officers from transporting two detained immigrants from Spokane to Tacoma in June 2025, KUOW reported.

They were among hundreds of demonstrators who responded to a social media post by former Spokane City Council President Ben Stuckart calling for supporters to block the transfer bus, according to the report.

Stuckart was serving as a sponsor for one of the two immigrants who were seeking asylum in the United States.

He was later arrested along with nine other protesters on conspiracy charges.

According to KUOW, Stuckart and five others pleaded guilty in exchange for reduced sentences.

Following Thursday’s verdict, Washington state Rep. Natasha Hill, D-Spokane, criticized Stuckart for not attending the proceedings.

"You started this and you couldn’t even show up to finish it," Hill said. "So I call on you, and I call on others to do what you said you were going to do, and stand up for your community because the fight is not over with this conviction."

Stuckart later wrote on Facebook that attending the two-week trial would have violated the terms of his parole.

"I feel awful about the guilty verdict," he wrote. "I feel awful for Jac, Bajun and Justice and their families. I support those that took plea deals and I support those that went to trial."

ANTI-ICE AGITATORS CONVICTED OF STALKING FEDERAL AGENTS ON LIVESTREAM

He also referenced the two detained immigrants.

"I am trying my best to finish what I started by taking care of the guys the government wrongfully took," Stuckart wrote.

Bajun Mavalwalla Sr., the father of one of the convicted protesters and a congressional candidate, said federal prosecutors were attempting to make an example of his son, according to KUOW.

He accused the government of trying to discourage Americans from speaking out against immigration enforcement policies.

"The right to protest, the right to dissent, the right to assemble — all of those things are now in question because of this case," he said. "In other cases across the country, the juries were not tainted and the cases have been thrown out."
