Corbell developed a martial arts and yoga curriculum to provide training for at-risk youth. This includes a juvenile hall yoga program [2] Following discharge from juvenile hall, students continue instruction during and after their probation period. [4]

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 . [6] One of his ju jitsu demonstrations has received over 6 million views on YouTube. [7] [ non-primary source needed ]

Art career

While traveling in Nepal and India in 2004 Corbell contracted Valley fever. He lost more than 35 pounds (16 kg), experienced daily fevers, hallucinations, and distorted vision. He made it home to be treated by doctors at UCLA. Unable to practice martial arts for over a year due to medical complications, he began creating art. [8]

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. [9] [10]

Notable art exhibitions

Some of the exhibitions by Corbell include:

Filmmaking and UFOlogy

Corbell has been described as a "ufologist celebrity" [1] and a "UFO enthusiast". [18]

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. [19]

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 [18] and video of what appeared to be triangular objects in the sky, filmed by U.S. Navy personnel [20] consistent with visual artifacts due to a triangular lens aperture. [21]

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. [1]

Corbell co-hosts the UFO-focused "Weaponized" podcast alongside fellow UFOlogist and journalist George Knapp. [22] Corbell has also appeared on the Joe Rogan Experience podcast to discuss UFOs. [1]
