UAP Gerb UAP Gerb is a prominent UAP researcher and documentarian recognized for his meticulous, long-form YouTube videos and podcast appearances covering alleged UFO crash retrievals, government secrecy, and whistleblower testimonies. He operates the UAP Gerb YouTube channel, where he produces comprehensive documentary-style investigations into unexplained aerial phenomena, offering detailed analysis of complex cases spanning from historical incidents to contemporary disclosure efforts.[1] Gerb specializes in UFO reverse engineering and crash retrieval research, UFO legacy program investigation, and whistleblower analysis. His research methodology involves examining military installations, Deep Underground Military Bases, and Federally Funded Research Organizations associated with alleged UFO reverse engineering efforts across the United States.[1] He is described by many in the UFO community as a meticulous and well-sourced researcher, bringing substantial technical knowledge that is often missing in UAP discussions.[2] His work includes comprehensive video documentaries examining specific cases such as the 1948 Aztec, New Mexico UFO crash retrieval, where he approaches historical incidents with balanced analysis of both original claims and skeptical rebuttals while avoiding sensationalism.[3] Gerb reports being in contact with firsthand eyewitnesses of alien crafts and “biologics” within military intelligence and private aerospace sectors.[4] UAP Gerb has appeared as a featured guest on several major podcasts, including the Danny Jones Podcast (Episode #320, August 2025), Jesse Michels’ American Alchemy podcast (February 2025), and the Night Shift podcast (September 2025), where he provides technical analysis and discusses his ongoing investigations into classified military operations and government involvement in UAP phenomena.[4][5] Research Focus and Methodology[edit | edit source] Gerb’s research encompasses a wide range of UAP-related topics, with particular emphasis on alleged crash retrieval programs, reverse engineering facilities, and the complex web of government and private contractor involvement in UFO phenomena. His work is characterized by extensive documentation, long-form video presentations that often span several hours, and careful analysis of witness testimonies, declassified documents, and historical records.[6] His documentary-style videos examine suspected reverse engineering facilities, government secrecy protocols, and UFO crash retrieval efforts, attempting to connect disparate elements to provide viewers with a comprehensive understanding of the phenomenon. One reviewer noted, “If you’re looking for some long form content on your day off, Gerb is the guy to go to. Extremely interested and well versed in the topic, Gerb provides hours of entertainment at a time.”[6] An open-source research project called UAPGerbVideos has been developed by independent researchers to organize and expand upon Gerb’s investigations, creating a comprehensive database of his work that includes at least 37 public videos covering incidents, reverse engineering claims, government secrecy, and related topics. The project provides AI integration and an Obsidian database to analyze connections between cases, whistleblower testimonies, government programs, and corporate entities mentioned in his research.[7] Department of Energy and Nuclear Emergency Support Team[edit | edit source] Gerb’s research has identified what he claims to be a previously overlooked connection between the Department of Energy (DOE) and UFO crash retrieval operations. According to his analysis, the DOE has been operating covert UFO crash retrieval programs for decades using specialized teams like the Nuclear Emergency Support Team (NEST) that remain unknown to most Pentagon officials. He argues that while NEST publicly handles nuclear emergencies, evidence suggests their classified mission includes UFO crash retrieval.[8] Gerb explains that the 1954 Atomic Energy Act provides the legal framework for classifying UFO materials as “trans-classified foreign nuclear material,” a designation that places them under DOE authority and effectively shields them from Congressional oversight. He stated in his Danny Jones podcast appearance, “The DOE NEST had the authority under the 1954 Atomic Energy Act, which also governs how UFO materials are classified as transclassified foreign nuclear materials.”[4] According to Gerb’s analysis, anything classified under the Atomic Energy Act remains inaccessible even to Congressional intelligence committees, which would explain why recent UAP disclosure amendments specifically mention this 1954 law as a barrier to transparency.[8] Operation Laser Strike and the Peru Incident[edit | edit source] One of Gerb’s most detailed case investigations involves Operation Laser Strike, which he describes as a 1997 classified mission conducted by U.S. Southern Command (SOUTHCOM) aimed at tracking narcotics traffic in South America. The operation involved multiple military branches and utilized advanced surveillance technologies.[4] Within this broader operation, Gerb has extensively documented the alleged experience of Jonathan Weygandt, a Marine stationed in Peru, who reportedly encountered a 20-meter egg-shaped craft wedged into a granite cliff face. According to Gerb’s retelling of Weygandt’s account, the craft was leaking a syrup-like fluid that permanently discolored Weygandt’s uniform. Gerb reports that Weygandt discovered what appeared to be a non-human arm near the site.[8] This case represents what Gerb considers to be a well-documented example of military personnel encountering anomalous craft during routine operations, with the subsequent classification and handling of the incident demonstrating patterns he has identified in other alleged retrieval scenarios.[4] The 1948 Aztec Case[edit | edit source] In November 2025, Gerb released a comprehensive video documentary titled “The 1948 Aztec, New Mexico UFO Crash Retrieval,” which re-examines one of the earliest alleged UFO crash cases. The Aztec incident, long overshadowed by the more famous Roswell case, involves claims that a massive, nearly 100-foot-wide saucer landed in the desert outside Aztec, New Mexico, and was subsequently recovered by military and scientific personnel along with several deceased occupants.[3] Gerb’s approach to the Aztec case involves a careful review of its origins, the controversies that led many to dismiss it as a hoax, and the renewed interest the case has generated in recent years. He examines both the original claims made by journalist Frank Scully in 1949-1950 and the skeptical rebuttals that followed, while analyzing the documented timeline of events and the individuals involved. Colorado MUFON noted that Gerb “approaches the topic with a wide-angle lens, examining both the original claims and the skeptical rebuttals while avoiding the pitfalls of sensationalism.”[3] Public Statements and Controversies[edit | edit source] Steven Greer Allegations[edit | edit source] In August 2025, during his appearance on the Danny Jones Podcast, Gerb made several allegations regarding Dr. Steven Greer’s handling of whistleblower information and operational security practices. Gerb alleged that Steven Greer’s disclosure archives had poor operational security (OPSEC), which enabled third parties to identify and contact witnesses who had provided information to Greer’s disclosure projects.[2] According to Gerb’s claims, several whistleblowers connected to Greer reported facing reprisals around 2023, including threats to pensions and reputational smears. Gerb stated that he has not personally worked with Greer and has no plans to do so, citing these security concerns as a primary reason for maintaining distance from Greer’s disclosure initiatives.[2] Gerb emphasized that regardless of whether Greer’s intentions were good, the alleged poor operational security had real consequences for individuals who came forward with sensitive information.[2] These allegations generated significant discussion within the UFO research community about the ethics and responsibilities of researchers handling sensitive whistleblower information, particularly regarding the protection of sources who may face career or legal consequences for their disclosures. Research Verification and Credibility[edit | edit source] Gerb’s work has been independently verified by members of the UAP research community who describe him as meticulous and well-sourced. Multiple podcast listeners and forum participants have praised his technical knowledge and the depth of his research. One community member stated, “GERB is the man. I’ve seen his channel praised on here for a while before digging into his content, the praise is warranted and then some.”[9] His growing influence within the UAP community is evidenced by invitations to participate in increasingly prominent forums and discussions. Reports indicate that U.S. Representative Eric Burlison invited Gerb to dinner, suggesting his research is gaining traction beyond the online research community and reaching lawmakers involved in UAP oversight.[9] During his appearances on the Night Shift podcast in September 2025, community feedback highlighted Gerb’s ability to provide valuable technical insights that enhanced post-hearing discussions. One listener commented, “UAP Gerb really brought a lot of technical knowledge that’s often missing in these discussions.”[10] Media Presence and Publications[edit | edit source] Gerb maintains an active presence across multiple platforms, with his primary output being the UAP Gerb YouTube channel. His videos are characterized by their length and depth, often running several hours and providing comprehensive analysis of complex topics.[6] WatchMojo ranked the UAP Gerb channel among the top UFO channels on YouTube in July 2025, noting his extensive knowledge and documentary-style approach to presenting research.[6] His podcast appearances have expanded his reach beyond his dedicated YouTube audience. On the Danny Jones Podcast in August 2025, Gerb discussed classified military operations, UFO crash retrievals, and the intricate web of government and contractor involvement in unexplained aerial phenomena. The episode explored deep-sea alien bases and underwater CIA projects, topics that Gerb has researched extensively.[4] In February 2025, Gerb appeared on Jesse Michels’ American Alchemy podcast in an episode titled “The Most Knowledgeable UFO Researcher In The World,” where he shared insights into UFO crash retrievals and reverse engineering, recounting firsthand eyewitness accounts of alien technology and shedding light on secret military operations dating back to the Cold War era.[5] Gerb has also participated in multiple episodes of the Night Shift podcast, including a September 2025 appearance where he provided technical analysis during a post-hearing discussion on UAP, joining hosts and other experts to offer detailed commentary on recent Congressional hearings and investigations.[10] His follow-up appearances reportedly covered topics such as reverse-engineering programs, generating significant interest from the podcast’s audience.[10] Affiliations[edit | edit source]
