Ross Coulthart explores mysterious untold stories using a fact-based approach to address various topics, from unidentified aerial phenomena to other mysteries that often go unreported. Now, he is turning to viewers, answering their pressing questions each week. In this week's episode, Coulthart tackles questions about President Trump's NDA-waiver executive order and why he says it doesn't go far enough to protect whistleblowers.


Plus, a report on drone incursions at White Sands Missile Range that Coulthart says is an attempt to muddy the waters on the real lure-and-shoot-down operation, including a new claim that nuclear technology is involved. He also dives into historical contact cases involving so-called "Nordic" humanoid beings. Coulthart reacts to Sandra Bullock's on-record UFO sighting account and delivers a passionate take on why the topic still gets mocked. And an explosive new report states that AARO is requesting private records from a database relating to UAP sightings. Ross confirms its existence and calls it the “most comprehensive” archive possibly in the world.

Why 250 British officers finally spoke about 'close encounters' | Reality Check01 Sep 202601:16:00

In this episode of "Reality Check," Ross Coulthart sits down with inspector Roy Teague, a serving West Midlands Police tactical firearms commander whose new book, "Close Encounters of the Police Kind," collects unidentified aerial phenomenon encounters from about 250 British police officers. Teague explains how a 2016 documentary on UAP over American missile fields led him to ask which witnesses the public would find hardest to dismiss and why he concluded the answer was serving police.


The conversation works through his strongest cases, among them a metropolitan police helicopter crew and an Army warrant officer who watched a dart-shaped aircraft over central London accelerate away and disappear into an opening in the sky in July 1997; an off-duty constable who lost two and a half hours on the A14 with his wife, his children and the family dog; and a Grampian officer whose MRI shows a small metallic object behind his right eye. Teague also details the pressure that follows these sightings, from a colleague grounded and quietly debriefed by the RAF at a private address in Croydon, to the senior officers who advised him to pick another subject to write about. Of the officers who came to him, all but nine agreed to be named and Teague argues the ridicule attached to this subject is exactly why so few of these accounts have ever surfaced.

Ross Coulthart explores mysterious untold stories using a fact-based approach to address various topics, from unidentified aerial phenomena to other mysteries that often go unreported. Now, he is turning to viewers, answering their pressing questions each week. In this week's episode, Coulthart tackles questions about the Majestic 12 documents and the alleged 1954 "Eisenhower Alien Treaty."


He also answers questions about Eric Davis' claim that the Advanced Aerospace Threat Identification Program might still be active alongside a White House-authorized covert retrieval program and whether scientist Avi Loeb is being used unwittingly in a government disinformation effort. Coulthart addresses the mysterious disappearance of a U.S. general, ongoing drone incursions at an Australian air force base, new evidence tying Donald Rumsfeld to the legacy UAP program and why NASA has never released a single continuous video of a full orbit around the moon.

'Something is observing us': Man tracks every flyover at America's nuclear plants | Reality Check25 Aug 202601:22:08

Go to https://ground.news/ross to get 40% off unlimited access to the news tool I actually trust. It helps you cut through the noise and understand how stories are being reported across the spectrum.


In this episode of "Reality Check," Ross Coulthart sits down with Daryl Johnson, the former senior security specialist at the U.S. Nuclear Regulatory Commission, who spent more than a decade monitoring and trending every reported drone and UAP flyover at America's commercial nuclear power plants. Johnson reveals that close to 300 flyovers were logged between 2014 and 2025, with fewer than one percent ever traced back to an operator, and that the vast majority of plants still have no no-fly zone, no radar and no aerial detection requirement of any kind.

Johnson recounts the incidents that defied a conventional drone explanation, including a black triangle that hovered over Pennsylvania's Susquehanna plant for more than two hours in 2022 and a December 2024 incident near Virginia's Surry plant in which lights vanished and reappeared a mile away within seconds before ascending out of sight. Johnson also describes the resistance he met inside the NRC when he pushed for UAP reporting guidance, and the AARO data request that first put the phenomenon on his desk. His conclusion, drawn from his new book "Unguarded Skies," is blunt: something is observing us and we don't know what it is or who controls it.

Ross Coulthart explores mysterious untold stories using a fact-based approach to address various topics, from unidentified aerial phenomena to other mysteries that often go unreported. Now, he is turning to viewers, answering their pressing questions each week.


In this week's episode, Coulthart tackles questions about the alleged decadeslong U.S. Air Force disinformation campaign, Rep. Eric Burlison's confirmation of an alleged "luring and shoot-down" operation at White Sands Missile Range involving high-pulse microwave weapons, and why the national media has failed to press President Trump. Plus, Coulthart responds to a viewer question on alleged Chinese government contact with reptilian entities and China's own UFO crash-retrieval program.

Secret Soviet UFOs: What happened when two scientists knocked on a door in Estonia? | Reality Check20 Aug 202600:33:02

Something metallic turned up under a garden in a quiet Tallinn suburb in 1969, and the Soviets spent the next twenty years trying to get it out, bringing in excavators and scientists and military, borrowing the house from its owners and living in it, digging on and off until perestroika ended the whole effort and they walked away. Astrophysicist Dr. Beatriz Villarroel and Ocean X co-founder Dennis Åsberg went to that address to find out what is still down there. Nobody came to the door, but the neighbor who had watched all of it from his window talked to them for an hour.


This is their full conversation with Ross Coulthart, recorded for "Secret Soviet UFOs" and running well past what the special had room for. Villarroel walks through the peer-reviewed work that brought her to Estonia, highly reflective objects photographed in orbit years before anyone on Earth had launched a satellite, and why she thinks the same search belongs in the ground. Åsberg ties Merivälja to the Baltic Sea anomaly his team found on sonar roughly 300 kilometers away and argues that both could predate the last ice age. Between them, they count five European cases and will not give up the coordinates of one of them. What nobody can answer yet is what sits under that garden, and the only thing that would settle it is ground-penetrating radar in the yard of a man who has already told them no.

KGB swarms suburban house in UFO hunt | Reality Check: Secret Soviet UFOs20 Aug 202601:01:21

The UFO story is not just an American one. As a new era of drone war rages in Eastern Europe, strange sightings in the skies invite questions about an overlooked Cold War mystery in the same region. Archive records beg an urgent question: why did the Soviets seriously investigate an alleged crashed UFO behind the Iron Curtain, and why can't anyone close the case today? NewsNation takes you on the ground to Estonia with the scientists pushing for answers, and the man who claims to have a piece of the mysterious "Object M." Features new interviews between Ross Coulthart and Dennis Asberg, Dr. Beatriz Villarroel, and Mart Sander.

Ross Coulthart Q&A: Skinwalker's dire wolf, CIA cover-ups, and time-traveling UFOs16 Aug 202600:31:37

Ross Coulthart explores mysterious untold stories using a fact-based approach to address various topics, from unidentified aerial phenomena to other mysteries that often go unreported. Now, he is turning to viewers, answering their pressing questions each week. In this week's episode, Coulthart tackles questions about the reported dire wolf recovery and DNA results at Skinwalker Ranch, the CIA's continued influence inside the ODNI following Tulsi Gabbard's exit, and whether the legacy program is in possession of technology that could make time travel possible. Coulthart also responds to a retired detective's daytime sighting of a silver metallic cylinder over a Southern California freeway and why the phenomenon may be capable of manipulating who does and doesn't see it. Plus: new details on Admiral Thomas Wilson's alleged legacy-program briefing to Dr. Eric Davis, why his national security oath may outlast any presidential order, and whether Soviet-era "underwater beings" have anything to do with modern USO (Unidentified Submerged Objects) sightings.Watch Unreported with Meagan Medick here: https://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PL6PrA6lo8rJKtTsTq9eAtpNdZzuyST-R-Ross' interviews with Brandon Fugal 2025: Skinwalker Ranch owner says former AARO Director Sean Kirkpatrick lied, shows proof | Reality Checkhttps://www.youtube.com/watch?v=NtilGOcNmgYRoss' interviews with Brandon Fugal 2024: Skinwalker Ranch, Oak Island curse and Kona Blue | Reality Checkhttps://www.youtube.com/watch?v=kNEJaw-ErksRoss' interview with Jacques Vallée Jacques Vallée: Project Blue Book, space travel and military secrecy | Reality Checkhttps://www.youtube.com/watch?v=RqptVKs7wbcReality Check: Underwater UFOs with Richard Dolan interview Reality Check with Ross Coulthart: Underwater UFOshttps://www.youtube.com/watch?v=IbvorziWMm8CHAPTER SUMMARY:0:00 Intro0:36 Reaction to Jesse Michael’s interview with Brandon Fugal5:50 Lack of reports from Brandon Fugal on Skinwalker Ranch8:24 Aaron Lukas’ role at the Office of the Director of National Intelligence11:50 Has the legacy program cracked time travel?17:39 Why does the phenomenon only reveal themselves to certain experiencers22:37 Was Admiral Thomas Wilson recruited to the legacy program?26:12 Is there a connection between mermaids and USOs?29:02 Final thoughtsCREDITS:Host: Ross CoulthartExecutive Producer: Andy GipsonEditorial Producer: Meagan MedickSegment Producer: Christine Jenkinson, Will TomasiResearch Producer: Rob JonesEditor: John NockOn "Reality Check," NewsNation Special Correspondent Ross Coulthart takes a fact-based approach to tackle everything from unidentified aerial phenomena (UAPs) to mysteries often missing from the headlines.

Object M: The buried Estonian mystery the KGB spent years trying to reach | Reality Check11 Aug 202601:08:15

If you’re ever injured in an accident, you can check out Morgan & Morgan. You can start your claim in just a click without having to leave your couch: https://www.forthepeople.com/Ross


In this episode of "Reality Check," Ross Coulthart sits down with Estonian filmmaker and author Mart Sander, whose new book, "Object M: Estonia's Buried Mystery," traces one of the strangest and least understood cases in Europe. In 1969, a man drilling a well in the Tallinn suburb of Merivälja struck something solid roughly seven meters down, and the fragments he broke loose eventually reached Soviet laboratories that concluded the alloy could not have been produced on this planet.


Sander walks Coulthart through the two decades of excavation that followed, the shafts sunk under the garden, the KGB files stamped top secret and the researchers who reported burns, blackouts and stranger effects the closer they got to whatever sits beneath the upper layer. He also lays out the counterarguments, from the meteorite explanation to the claim this is a forgotten first World War superalloy buried in a hurry, and explains why the physical evidence points in two directions more than a 100,000 years apart.


What neither man can account for is why, years after the Soviets left Estonia, two strangers turned up at the homeowner's door with a suitcase of cash for a small suburban house that nobody had ever proven held anything at all.

In this week's episode, Coulthart tackles the most requested question to date: What really happened to Skywatcher? The UAP research group founded by Jake Barber, James Fowler and investor Alex Klokus abruptly went dark. Coulthart addresses Skywatcher's mysterious disappearance from its Texas operations, the real story behind February's sudden FAA shutdown of El Paso's airspace and how a classified U.S. government operation is now allegedly using Skywatcher's own "dog whistle" and psionic summoning techniques to detect and shoot down anomalous craft.CREDITS:

Inside 'Kona Blue,' the alleged Lockheed-to-DHS UFO transfer | Reality Check04 Aug 202600:41:46

In this episode of "Reality Check," Ross Coulthart sits down with a UAP researcher known online as "UAP Gerb.” Picking up where Part 1 left off, they dig into the "Immaculate Constellation" document and whistleblower Matthew Brown's claims about nonhuman and reproduction vehicle data. Gerb walks through "Kona Blue," an alleged DHS-brokered program in which Lockheed Martin material was reportedly diverted before the CIA shut it down.


Coulthart presses the national security case for controlled disclosure, while Gerb raises troubling allegations: directed-energy attacks on people close to the program, civilian aircraft allegedly downed by EMP weapons during craft-recovery operations and an alleged murder. They close on whether President Trump or Congress can force real transparency.

It helps you cut through the noise and understand how stories are being reported across the spectrum.In this week's episode of "Reality Check," Ross Coulthart returns from Toronto's Scientific Coalition for UAP Studies conference to answer viewer questions. He tackles questions about how the Five Eyes alliance, the U.S., U.K., Canada, Australia, and New Zealand, is coordinating on UAP disclosure, why Australia's Defense Intelligence Organization is dodging freedom-of-information laws, and whether confiscated witness footage sits in a government archive. The episode closes with a deep dive into crop circles: the famous debunked hoaxers, and Ross gives his take on the notorious Oliver’s Castle video.CHAPTER SUMMARY::00 Intro1:23 Lue Elizondo’s response to UAP Gerb’s claims9:08 Matthew Brown’s interview about Immaculate Constellation15:40 Five Eyes alliance and UAP documents21:21 Will amateur footage confiscated by the government ever be released?24:17 What is creating crop circles?33:22 Final thoughtsCREDITS:Host: Ross CoulthartExecutive Producer: Andy GipsonEditorial Producer: Meagan MedickSegment Producer: Christine Jenkinson, Will TomasiResearch Producer: Rob JonesEditor: John Nock#uap #ufo #lueelizondo #disclosure #cropcircles ----- More from NewsNation: https://www.newsnationnow.com/Get our app: https://trib.al/TBXgYppFind us on cable: https://trib.al/YDOpGyGHow to watch on TV or streaming: https://trib.al/Vu0Ikij

In this episode of "Reality Check," Ross Coulthart sits down with a UAP researcher known online as "UAP Gerb." Together, they trace the secret history of the UAP legacy program, from its origins after the 1947 Roswell crash through today's disclosure fight. Gerb lays out allegations that Lue Elizondo is being positioned for a National Security Council role to help engineer limited, controlled disclosure, similar to what Gerb says happened under Director of National Intelligence James Clapper and the AATIP program in 2016.


The two dig into the Podesta emails, the Majestic-12 and Eisenhower briefing document controversies, the deaths of James Forrestal and JFK and how control of crash-retrieval programs allegedly shifted from the National Security Council into private aerospace hands in the 1990s. Gerb argues David Grusch remains the key figure capable of forcing real accountability, and Coulthart presses him on why Congress and even the president may lack the power to compel answers.

In this week's episode of "Reality Check," Ross Coulthart joins Meagan Medick from Toronto, where he's attending the Scientific Coalition for UAP Studies' annual conference. Coulthart breaks down President Trump's directive waiving prior NDAs for legacy program witnesses and why Rep. Eric Burlison’s pending legislation, not the president's statement, is the real key to disclosure.


He tackles questions about Rep. Anna Paulina Luna's request for 46 classified UAP files, whether the new UAP governance body and science advisory board are just bureaucratic stalling tactics and the status of "the portal" investigation.

Dr. Phil on UFO files: 'There has been a massive cover-up' | Reality Check21 Jul 202600:38:02

In this episode of "Reality Check," Ross Coulthart sits down with Dr. Phil McGraw, the psychologist and television host the White House invited to review the latest tranche of UFO files before it reached the public. Dr. Phil explains why an administration weighing disclosure went looking for a trusted voice rather than an astrophysicist, and what changed his mind once he started reading the government's own words: from Lt. General Nathan Twining's 1947 assessment that the phenomenon was something real and not visionary, to the 1949 classified conference at Los Alamos convened over sightings above America's nuclear weapons sites, to the CIA's Robertson Panel strategy of publicizing cases already debunked and saying nothing about the ones that weren't, to the JANAP directives that put military and commercial pilots under threat of prison, heavy fines and the Espionage Act for describing what they saw.


He tells Coulthart the imagery released so far is intentionally grainy, that far better gun camera video and radar tracks exist and that Reps. Tim Burchett and Anna Paulina Luna are helping him press for their release. Drawing on close to 50 years of sitting with people through the worst losses a person can absorb, Dr. Phil rejects the argument that Americans are too fragile to be told, calling it a patronizing view, while arguing the government owes real support to the people who will struggle with it. Two things he says he will state with confidence to the American public: There has been a huge cover-up and there are things in our atmosphere we cannot explain and did not build.

Ross Coulthart explores mysterious untold stories using a fact-based approach to address various topics, from unidentified aerial phenomena to other mysteries that often go unreported. Now, he is turning to viewers, answering their pressing questions each week. In this week's episode, Coulthart tackles questions about the "Mars face" anomaly, allegations that officials with the Office of the Director of National Intelligence retaliated against whistleblowers and Jacques Vallée's claims about a submarine-launched drone during the 2004 Nimitz "Tic-Tac" encounter. Coulthart also breaks down how he vets sources inside the alleged legacy program and unpacks President Trump's comments about a secretive "discombobulator" weapon used during the operation that captured Nicolás Maduro.

In this episode of "Reality Check," Ross Coulthart sits down with theoretical physicist and philosopher of physics Maaneli Derakhshani for a long look at the anomalous features cataloged across the moon, Phobos and the surface of Mars. The conversation opens with Lue Elizondo's remarks on lunar anomalies, then works outward to the Phobos 2 spacecraft and the object NASA's own mission literature once described as a monolith along with the reason SETI took that object seriously enough to study.


From there, Max walks Ross through the imagery that has drawn the most attention on Mars, from the so-called glass worm to the rectilinear formations near the Atlantis basin, applying the same fractal analysis that NASA and the Department of Defense use to separate natural terrain from engineered structures. Grounding the discussion in Carl Sagan's own standards for searching for evidence of past life, Max makes the case that some of these features deserve to be treated as genuine open questions rather than tricks of light and shadow.


Also featured in this episode is the work of Jean Ward, Independent Mars Researcher, a colleague of Dr. Derakhshani's whose work can be found at https://www.youtube.com/jeanward and https://megalithicmars.com/

John Kerry, UFO tech and fusion energy | Reality Check with Ross Coulthart12 Jul 202600:36:14

Ross Coulthart and Meagan Medick (@producermeagan) answer your questions each week on the "Reality Check Q&A." This week, they respond to Lue Elizondo's claims that NASA knows more about the UFO mystery than they are letting on. As new astronaut UFO files release, and ahead of another Reality Check deep-dive into lunar anomalies with Max Derakshani, what is the latest on a new investigation into the agency?


Ross Coulthart also reveals new reporting on secret American bases in Antarctica: Could they be tied to a visit by former Secretary of State and presidential candidate John Kerry? Also in the show: What has Ross heard about a longer version of the famous Gimbal UFO video? Plus, Ross revisits his trips to Egypt and Peru to share why he is not yet convinced ancient alien tech played a part, though he admits ancient humans knew something we don't understand today. Finally, Meagan's dog Owen makes a special appearance!

Inside NASA's UFO coverup culture | Reality Check07 Jul 202601:05:51

In this episode of "Reality Check," Ross Coulthart sits down with Michael Gold, president of Redwire Space and a former member of NASA's UAP Independent Study Team, for a candid look at how the agency has handled the subject. Gold explains what the study team was actually asked to do, which was to weigh whether UAP was worth NASA's attention and what resources it could bring to bear, rather than to analyze the anomalous imagery already sitting in the agency's own archives. He is direct about the stigma that shadows the field, describing scientists warned they could lose their jobs, tenure and their ability to publish for simply asking the question, including a physicist and frequent guest of this show who lost his position after appearing on it.


The conversation moves through the Apollo 17 triangle and the Apollo 11 blue lights, the Robertson Panel that helped set decades of ridicule in motion and the work Gold is now leading through the Disclosure Foundation to reopen NASA's archives alongside astronomer Beatriz Villarroel and physicist Maaneli Derakhshani. It closes where Gold argues where the real stakes sit, on national security, a race with China and his warning that whoever controls the Moon will eventually control the Earth.

South American adventure: Ross Coulthart explores Rapa Nui, aka Easter Island | Reality Check05 Jul 202600:32:33

Ross Coulthart explores an ancient alien mystery, gaining access to never-before-seen mummies that some researchers say could hold the key to the UFO question. Is it too good to be true, or a crucial next step toward disclosure?


In this week’s episode, we find Ross at the ancient site of Rapa Nui, also known as Easter Island. The Moai statues are some of the most impressive examples of early engineering, but that also leaves many unanswered questions. How did they move the 70-ton statues, what was their purpose and what happened to the people on Rapa Nui?

Ross Coulthart breaks silence on Lue Elizondo backlash: 'I was surprised' | Reality Check01 Jul 202600:22:53

In this episode of "Reality Check," Ross Coulthart and Meagan Medick tackle the fallout from Coulthart's recent comments about Lue Elizondo's past role in the legacy UAP program, addressing what he calls misreporting of his statements. Coulthart tackles questions about the Elizondo controversy and why whistleblowers remain silent despite NDAs, Michael Shermer's controversial appointment to the White House UAP Science Advisory Council and whether nonhuman intelligence shows any interest in human art, music and culture.

Rep. Eric Burlison on UAP material he saw inside SCIF and files he's forcing open | Reality Check30 Jun 202600:21:01

In this episode of "Reality Check," Ross Coulthart sits down with Rep. Eric Burlison, the Missouri Republican and UAP Caucus member who has become one of the most active voices in Congress pressing the federal government to come clean on the phenomenon. Burlison describes the material he was shown inside an SCIF, footage and imagery that remain closed to the public, and recounts watching plasma-like orbs move with an intelligence and instantaneous acceleration the intelligence community itself cannot explain but speculate to be the same objects FBI field agents reported seeing when they responded to sightings at residential locations and a western military facility last December.


The conversation turns to the machinery of secrecy, with Burlison arguing the Manhattan Project taught the government how to bury a program inside federally funded research centers, and detailing the interrogatories he has sent to MITRE, MIT Lincoln Laboratory, the CIA and the FBI, including a reel-to-reel recording of a U.S. Air Force general questioning MIT scientists about the 1952 Washington flyover that Lincoln Laboratory is now in the process of declassifying. Coulthart and Burlison weigh whether an 82-year-old secret can hold, why declassification never happens on its own and what it would mean for a congressman of deep faith to confront the ontological shock of disclosure. Burlison does not hedge on the stakes, telling Ross that revealing what is behind this would be the greatest revelation since Jesus Christ and offering his read on whether the Trump White House intends to deliver it.

Ross Coulthart Q&A: 'We’ve got to stop this bloody nonsense:' Coulthart on UFO infighting28 Jun 202600:47:01

Ross Coulthart explores overlooked mysteries using a fact-based approach, from unidentified aerial phenomena to other underreported topics. Now, he’s turning to viewers, answering their questions each week.

In this episode, Coulthart and Meagan Medick broadcast live from NewsNation’s Washington, D.C., studio following the UAP Disclosure Forum on Capitol Hill.

Coulthart addresses questions about a growing rift among transparency advocates within the UAP disclosure movement, whether Congress is obstructing public access to information, and claims surrounding the Pentagon’s so-called “Collins Elite” group, which some allege views the issue through a religious lens.

He also discusses criticism of Lue Elizondo’s past role in government programs, reports on Stephen Miller’s involvement in a White House whistleblower amnesty push, and his belief that Elon Musk has been briefed on classified UAP programs.

The episode also examines the future of the UAP Disclosure Act as it returns to Congress.

Ross Coulthart in the US Capitol: The disclosure lawmakers | Reality Check26 Jun 202600:31:21

As lawmakers and whistleblowers continue a push for transparency on UFOs, the Disclosure Forum brought advocates together in a daylong session. The forum featured panel discussions on issues around UAPs, including the congressional push for transparency, national security implications and the potential effect of sightings on the economy and religious belief.


In this week's episode, Ross Coulthart joins from Washington, D.C., where he attended the conference and had an opportunity to speak with lawmakers about ongoing disclosure efforts and the national security state's attempts to silence whistleblowers. Ross speaks with Reps. Anna Paulina Luna, André Carson and Eric Burlison, as well as Sen. Mike Rounds and whistleblower Jeff Nuccetelli.

The impact of disclosure: John Priestland, Dr. Martin Abbas on psychology of contact | Reality Check23 Jun 202600:51:14

In this episode of "Reality Check," Ross Coulthart sits down with John Priestland and Dr. Martin Abbas of uNHIdden, the U.K. and U.S. foundation behind the first systematic public health framework for a disclosure event. Their report, "Preparing for Disclosure: A Public Health Framework for Paradigm-shifting Revelations," was published in June 2026.

You can read it in full here:https://www.unhidden.org/wp-content/uploads/2026/06/uNHIdden-Preparedness-Plan-Final-1.pdf

The premise is almost entirely unexamined. Governments plan for pandemics, natural disasters and mass-casualty events, but nothing in any national framework prepares ordinary people for the psychological and social fallout of learning that humanity is not alone. UNHIdden takes no position on whether confirmatory information sits inside a classified program. Their case rests on the precautionary principle: the potential scale of the public response is large, the preparedness gap is real and the cost of preparing for an event that may never come is modest next to the cost of being unprepared. The report borrows tools from pandemic preparedness, disaster mental health and crisis communication.

Ross and his guests work through that framework. They define ontological shock, the disorientation a person feels when the ground assumptions of their reality give way, and trace why the mental health toll of a societal trauma so often outlasts the physical one. The conversation covers the institutional history that built the stigma, including the Robertson Panel and the decision to make ridicule a matter of policy and the lasting damage institutional betrayal does once a public learns it was misled. Dr. Abbas, a practicing GP, describes what it is like to sit across from an experiencer whose first words are almost always a version of "I'm not crazy, but I know you'll think I am."

The two men map the high-risk groups who could struggle most, from committed skeptics and the religiously devout to experiencers and the already vulnerable, and explain the population strategy at the center of the plan, drawn from epidemiologist Geoffrey Rose, that lifting whole-society resilience even slightly does more aggregate good than concentrating on the most severely affected. Ross presses them on the hardest scenarios, a craft down in Hyde Park, the question of religious confrontation and whether a government still managing a half-truth does more harm than the full truth would. The episode closes on consciousness, near-death research and the possibility that simply talking about all of this openly, now, is the gentlest way to prepare.

Ross Coulthart Q&A: Amnesty protections, dark side of moon and disclosure stalled? | Reality Check21 Jun 202600:32:36

Ross Coulthart explores mysterious untold stories using a fact-based approach to address various topics, from unidentified aerial phenomena to other mysteries that often go unreported. Now, he is turning to viewers, answering their pressing questions each week. In this week's episode, Coulthart breaks down the White House's new UAP Governance Board, warning it could become another "toothless tiger" like Project Blue Book, lacking subpoena power and reliant on the Pentagon's goodwill.


He also makes the case for whistleblower amnesty, drawing on his experience covering South Africa's Truth and Reconciliation Commission to argue why immunity may be the only realistic path to real disclosure. Plus, Coulthart digs into newly surfaced Apollo 16 audio describing unexplained gravity and gamma-ray anomalies near the dark side of the moon.

Watergate, the JFK assassination and a UFO secret at the center of it all | Reality Check18 Jun 202601:32:00

Jonathan Caplan KC, a veteran British barrister and King’s Counsel, joins Ross Coulthart this week for "Reality Check" to discuss Caplan's new book Not For Disclosure, the culmination of 50 years investigating the UAP mystery. Applying the same evidentiary standards he used in court, Caplan explains why he believes the phenomenon deserves serious attention.


Ross asks what Britain may quietly know about UAPs, which UK cases are most credible, and what to make of persistent claims involving British special forces and crash retrievals. The conversation also explores Prince Philip’s interest in UFOs, reports of UFO-curious British nobility, and the mysterious figure Air Marshal Sir Peter Horsley called “Mr. Janus.”


A major focus is the controversial Majestic 12 documents. Caplan explains why he considers key papers authentic, addresses claims they were forged, and examines documents tied to Timothy Cooper, Ryan Wood, White Sands, Richard Drain, and the 1953 effort to debunk the subject.


The discussion then turns to allegations involving President John F. Kennedy, Howard Hunt, Watergate, and the so-called Lancer document. Finally, Caplan and Coulthart tackle the biggest question of all: if nonhuman intelligence is interacting with Earth, what exactly is it—and are we ready to know?

Royal Navy sailor says UAP encounter triggered downloads from nonhuman intelligence | Reality Check16 Jun 202601:19:47

In this episode of "Reality Check," Ross Coulthart sits down with John Seer, a UK-based former Royal Navy sailor and author who says decades of intuitive "downloads" from nonhuman intelligence began with a UAP encounter at sea when he was just 16 years old. Seer traces the story back to a childhood near-death experience at age 12, when a golf club to the head sent him to a place he describes as pure white and filled with love, an experience he believes opened the channel everything else would later flow through.

He recounts the sighting witnessed from the bridge of his warship, the jets scrambled in response and the captain's announcement over the intercom that what the crew had just seen, they had not. He then describes the lowest moment of his life, a train ride during which a monk-like figure appeared, turned around, and held a conversation with him that seemed to move outside of time, the encounter that set the downloads in motion.

From there, the conversation widens into the philosophy of death, the idea of bodies as containers for souls, urgent warnings about artificial superintelligence and the year 2027, and the hypothesis, drawing on Dr. Michael Masters' work, that the "Greys" are not visitors from another world but a future iteration of humanity returning to its own past. John answers the skeptics directly, explains why he believes full disclosure will never come, and shares the downloads he says the public needs to hear before time runs out.

Special Report: Road to Disclosure14 Jun 202601:02:56

As the world packs theatres to watch Steven Spielberg's newest UFO film, real-world disclosure is happening in real time. NewsNation and Ross Coulthart have been at the forefront of driving that conversation with history-making whistleblower interviews.

In this TV special, Ross brings us a cinematic, investigative journey through the history of UFO disclosure: from ancient sightings and Roswell to modern whistleblowers, congressional hearings, declassified files and Hollywood’s fascination with the phenomenon.

Including new interviews with Steven Spielberg, Colman Domingo, Emily Blunt and screenwriter David Koepp, the show also includes a behind-the-scenes look at the making of the movie from a NewsNation reporter who makes a cameo. Ross also shares some behind-the-scenes footage from his landmark interviews, including David Grusch, Lue Elizondo and Jake Barber. Brian Entin also visits Area 51, staking out the legendary place at night. Plus: George Knapp details his famous interview with Bob Lazar.

Is the US government covering up technology that would crash the oil industry? | Reality Check09 Jun 202600:49:44

Ross Coulthart explores untold stories using a fact-based approach to address various topics, from unidentified aerial phenomena to other mysteries that often go unreported. In this episode of "Reality Check," Ross Coulthart sits down with Matthew Tuttle. He's the CEO and chief investment officer of Tuttle Capital Management, a U.S.-based thematic exchange-traded fund firm. Together, they examine the financial and legal aspects of UAP disclosure, an angle rarely explored in mainstream coverage of the phenomenon.


Tuttle recently launched UFOD, one of the first U.S. listed ETFs explicitly built around the UAP disclosure thesis. The fund is anchored in what he calls the "secret gap," the long-standing disparity between classified government technology and what the public has been allowed to know while aerospace contractors, quantum computing firms, drone manufacturers and alternative energy companies are positioned to benefit if suppressed technologies are ever released. Coulthart and Tuttle dig into the legal implications of continuous disclosure obligations for publicly listed defense contractors, the extraordinary admission by Lockheed Martin CEO James Taiclet that the company possesses technology he described as "magical and game-changing."


They also explore why the Department of War has now failed seven consecutive annual financial audits, leaving $1.8 trillion in assets unaccounted for. They also tackle the question of whether a formal UAP disclosure would trigger the market shock economists have warned about, or whether the world is already more prepared than most assume.

A viewer asks about the June 9 Disclosure Foundation event at the Capitol, where David Grusch is set to make a rare public appearance alongside members of the UAP caucus, including Reps. Burlison, Luna and Moskowitz, as well as Sen. Gillibrand. Coulthart also examines the significance of White House Deputy Chief of Staff Stephen Miller engaging with Rep. Burlison’s proposed 60-day amnesty window for UAP insiders, calling it the most encouraging signal yet from the Trump administration. In response to a question about Eric Weinstein’s “Manhattan Project 2.0” hypothesis, Coulthart shares new intelligence suggesting the legacy program has made breakthroughs in propulsion and energy but has been hindered by excessive compartmentalization. He also says China Lake is currently being swarmed by UAPs, disrupting weapons testing, and adds he believes craft have been brought down there.#rosscoulthart #uap #disclosure #whistleblower #manhattanproject #chinalake #realitycheck CHAPTER SUMMARY::38 Ross’ take on Elizondo’s comments about disclosure5:35 June 9th event with David Grusch10:52 Protections for whistleblowers16:16 Is the legacy UAP program a “Manhattan Project” 2.0?21:18 China Lake & the UAP legacy program24:24 Legal questions around legacy programs & enforcing silence34:48 Final thoughtsCREDITS:Host: Ross CoulthartExecutive Producer: Andy GipsonEditorial Producer: Meagan MedickSegment Producer: Christine JenkinsonAssociate Producer: Will TomasiResearch Producer: Rob JonesEditor: Anthony Diasio On "Reality Check," NewsNation Special Correspondent Ross Coulthart takes a fact-based approach to tackle everything from unidentified aerial phenomena (UAPs) to mysteries often missing from the headlines.

Why Rep. Eric Burlison Believes Key UAP Evidence Remains Hidden | Reality Check05 Jun 202600:16:14

In a one-on-one interview with NewsNation's Joe Khalil, Missouri Rep. Eric Burlison discusses his push for greater transparency regarding closely held government secrets about unidentified anomalous phenomena, or UAPs.


Burlison, a member of the House Oversight Committee, argues that while the current administration has gained momentum on disclosure, the material released so far is "low-hanging fruit" because some of it had already been leaked or debunked.


Burlison says the focus has shifted to the private sector because he believes companies and individuals possess videos, files and other UAP-related materials that have not been made public.


He also discusses footage of "glowing orbs" that appear to defy conventional aerodynamics and explains his theory on why previous administrations kept the information secret.

'Transformation 2026,' Whitley Strieber on drone wave and NHI interest in souls | Reality Check02 Jun 202601:09:50

Ross Coulthart explores untold stories using a fact-based approach to address various topics, from unidentified aerial phenomena to other mysteries that often go unreported. In this week’s episode, Ross sits down with Whitley Strieber, author of "Communion," "Breakthrough" and the newly released "Transformation 2026," to walk through what four decades of encounters have taught him about nonhuman intelligence and the human soul. Strieber describes his earliest experience, the entities he believes are "hungry" for the accumulated experiences a soul carries and the moment he realized his son was caught up in the same phenomenon.


Ross presses him on the questions that have followed him since "Communion" landed in 1987, including why he abandoned fiction, whether the beings are manipulating him and how he reconciles the early trauma with his current, more open stance. Their conversation turns to General Art Exon and what Strieber learned from him about Roswell, the 80-year coverup and the families connected to Wright-Patterson, who carried pieces of the story forward. The episode closes on the current drone wave, which Strieber suspects may be part of the phenomenon's effort to push human consciousness toward something it cannot yet name.

Ross Coulthart Q&A: Alien hybrids, 'Disclosure Day' and a secret that changed things | Reality Check31 May 202600:37:19

Ross Coulthart explores mysterious untold stories using a fact-based approach to address various topics, from unidentified aerial phenomena to other mysteries that often go unreported. Now, he is turning to viewers, answering their pressing questions each week. In this week's episode, Ross reacts to President Trump's bombshell moment, where he mentioned "extraterrestrials" in a Cabinet meeting, calling it a positive sign, but Ross cautions the current document releases still fall short of meaningful disclosure. 

A viewer asks about CIA allegations of secretly accessing consumer DNA databases, like Ancestry.com and 23andMe, in search of genetic markers tied to alleged alien-human hybrids. Ross also weighs in on the "Disclosure Day" film and pushes back against a White House senior adviser's dismissal of grey alien reports, calling the explanation "quite extraordinary." A viewer from Chile asks whether suppressed UAP-derived energy technology potentially capable of replacing fossil fuels overnight will ever see the light of day. Ross says he strongly believes game-changing breakthroughs are being sat on by defense contractors and intelligence insiders. He also revisits the "Red Book" and "Yellow Book," alleged classified government documents said to chronicle alien contact going back decades. The episode closes with a deeply personal story about what first convinced him this phenomena was real: his conversations with Nat Cobitz, the former Director of Science, Technology and Development for the U.S. Navy, who described being shown recovered nonhuman craft materials.

Inside lunar triangle, STS-48 anomaly: The footage the Pentagon has not explained | Reality Check26 May 202601:02:56

In this episode of "Reality Check," theoretical physicist Maaneli "Max" Derakhshani returns for a fourth part of his conversation with Ross about lunar anomalies. Together, they walk through some of the most contested footage in the public UAP record frame by frame. The conversation opens on a triangular object visible in an Apollo 17 photograph, working out why the Pentagon released only a low-resolution version when a high-resolution copy sits in the March to the Moon archive. Derakhshani responds to Avi Loeb's argument the lunar UAP records are camera artifacts.

He points to Edgar Mitchell stating he saw the objects with the naked eye and lays out his own analysis of the STS-48 and STS-80 footage, including the case that one object was deliberately testing its propulsion against a known weapon. Derakhshani methodically dismantles NASA's official "ice debris" explanation, while Coulthart reveals exclusive accounts from witnesses and Aboriginal communities near that remote Australian coastline and calls for NASA to answer to Congress under oath.

From there, Ross and Max turn to fastwalkers logged by Defense Support Program satellites over Australia, aboriginal witness accounts of block-sized objects in the same skies and the question of whether astronauts have been quietly told never to discuss any of this. The episode closes on Mitchell's own public statement given before his death: that talking openly about what Apollo crews witnessed was treated as treason.

Ross Coulthart Q&A: UFO document dumps and catastrophic disclosure | Reality Check24 May 202600:38:32

Ross Coulthart explores mysterious untold stories using a fact-based approach to address various topics, from unidentified aerial phenomena to other mysteries that often go unreported. Now, he is turning to viewers, answering their pressing questions each week. In this week's episode, Ross tackles questions about a second UFO document dump ahead of the official release. He reveals that while rumors are swirling, members of the administration are reaching out to him with questions and some concerns that this process is not in the spirit of true disclosure.


Regarding disclosure, a viewer asks about "catastrophic" disclosure. Explaining the various avenues, Ross predicts "catastrophic" disclosure will happen as a reaction to the intelligence communities covering up reverse engineering programs. He warns, though, of a possibility that an uncontrolled release of highly sensitive information could do more damage than public good. A viewer also asks about the significance of the dates 2027 and 2034 being discussed deep in the halls of the Pentagon. Ross also takes aim at a notable skeptic — Neil deGrasse Tyson. Tyson "should be ashamed of himself," Ross declares, for his years of denial and mockery towards the topic but is glad that his perspective is now changing.

Director Kevin Curran on Brian Binnie's UAP encounter, birth of private spaceflight | Reality Check19 May 202601:05:14

In this episode of "Reality Check," Ross Coulthart sits down with Kevin Curran, the cinematographer and director behind "Beyond Blue Sky: The Untold Story of the First Private Astronauts." It's a documentary about the small Mojave Desert team that built SpaceShipOne and won the $10 million Ansari X Prize in 2004. Curran takes us inside the trials and tribulations of that race, the engineering long shots, the near-fatal test flights and the redemption arc of pilot Brian Binnie after a hard-landing crash that nearly ended the program. The conversation then turns to the encounter that may have changed history, Binnie's account of seeing roughly a dozen unidentified objects in his backyard six days after SpaceShipOne's first powered flight test in December 2003. Curran tells Ross why he found Binnie credible, how the encounter fits inside the larger arc of one of the most consequential pilots in private spaceflight history, and what he hopes audiences take from a story that begins with rocket science and ends somewhere stranger.

Why the US Government Won't Explain What's in Our Skies21 Apr 202600:25:50

In this episode of Reality Check, a 20-year Air Force veteran breaks his silence on the anomalous objects spotted over one of America’s Air Force bases. Former Master Sergeant Ronald Billack shares never-before-seen footage captured near Barksdale Air Force Base in Louisiana. Billack describes objects moving with instantaneous velocity, no propulsion, and no sound, characteristics consistent with the Pentagon’s own five observables framework. He also reveals insight on the base’s counter-drone technology, and more as Ross gets to the bottom of why the government maintains that these things are drones.​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​
