Jeremy Kenyon Lockyer Corbell (born February 3, 1977) is an American , Filmmaking and Ufology based in Los Angeles, California. Initially gaining prominence as a visual artist, by the late 2010s Corbell became a well known figure in the UFO community, producing documentary films and podcasts on the subject.
Corbell taught ju jitsu and yoga at the University of California Santa Cruz, and has appeared in Black Belt Magazine.
Corbell developed a martial arts and yoga curriculum to provide training for at-risk youth, including a juvenile hall yoga program. Following discharge from juvenile hall, students continue instruction during and after their probation period.
Although there is no record of Corbell ever competing as a martial artist, Corbell has consulted on the films I Am Number Four and Bunraku, and the video game UFC Undisputed 2010. One of his ju jitsu demonstrations has received over 6 million views on YouTube.
In 2004, Corbell began secretly harvesting local building demolitions for early-century windows and doors in the Los Angeles area. He began recycling them into art installations. Over the years Corbell has exhibited his work in private settings and galleries.
Corbell has made a number of documentary films relating to the subject. His films include Hunt for the Skinwalker, based on a book by George Knapp and Colm Kelleher, and distributed by The Orchard, focusing on Skinwalker Ranch, a location associated with paranormal and UFO-related claims.
Corbell has released several UFO-related videos and still images. These have included leaked footage from U.S. Navy aircraft associated with the USS Omaha and video of what appeared to be triangular objects in the sky, filmed by U.S. Navy personnel consistent with visual artifacts due to a triangular lens aperture.
In 2018 Corbell directed the documentary Bob Lazar: Area 51 & Flying Saucers. The documentary, which premiered on Netflix in 2019, provides a sympathetic account of Bob Lazar, who claims without evidence to have worked on UFOs near Area 51 in the 1980s. The documentary brought Lazar back into public attention, and inspired the Storm Area 51 meme. His work in the UFO community with the documentary attracted a mix of curiosity and scrutiny, with some in the community labelling Corbell as a "dupe" of Lazar.
