Inside the Pentagon's Anomaly Office | Reality Check
In this episode of Reality Check, Ross Coulthart sits down with physicist Dr. Randy Bostick, former science advisor to the Pentagon office that investigates unidentified anomalous phenomena (UAP), the All-domain Anomaly Resolution Office (AARO), at the Scientific Coalition for UAP Studies conference in Toronto. Bostick explains what AARO does and does not hold, walks through his analysis of the Navy's Go Fast video, and describes Gremlin, the office's own sensor system built to watch the sky for weeks at a time. The conversation turns to the New Jersey drone incursions, objects reported over nuclear sites and weapons test ranges, and a presidential records release that tied military encounters with unknown objects to active radar jamming. Through all of it, Bostick returns to one problem: military aircraft and sensors detect these objects, and the data that could explain them is rarely saved.CHAPTER SUMMARY:0:00 Intro1:45 Inside the Pentagon's Anomaly Office3:45 Crash Retrieval Program Allegations6:51 Analyzing the Go Fast Video12:30 Glowing Orbs and Black Triangles13:37 Criticism and Project Blue Book16:59 The New Jersey Drone Incursions22:40 The Gremlin Sensor System26:53 Spectral Analysis of Unknown Objects29:58 Missing Data and Radar Jamming36:09 Objects Over Nuclear Sites39:17 Is Jamming a Flight Safety Threat?43:13 Why the Videos Are Redacted47:33 Judging the Office's FutureCREDITS:Host: Ross CoulthartExecutive Producer: Andy GipsonEditorial Producer: Meagan MedickProducer: Will TomasiResearch Producer: Rob JonesEditor: Kanyon LyonsSOCIAL TAGS:X: @rosscoulthart https://x.com/rosscoulthartInstagram: @rosscoulthart https://www.instagram.com/rosscoulthart/

Martinez, a retired employment lawyer whose book, "My Most Unusual Client: The Shocking Truth of the Alien Agenda," recounts a case he took on in Albuquerque, New Mexico, in 1996. Martinez describes a client from Alamogordo, whose name attorney-client privilege still keeps confidential, who said he spent nearly 50 years with a government contractor at the White Sands Missile Range, first monitoring space and later helping coordinate the retrieval of crashed craft.The client spoke of photographs from the 1947 Roswell crash and of American fighter jets lost in confrontations with unidentified craft, beginning in the Korean War and returning in the 1990s with encounters near commercial airliners over New Mexico. Martinez recounts bringing the case to Congressman Steven Schiff, who was pressing the Air Force for its Roswell records at the time. Within days of that meeting his client was dead and Martinez traces what followed, from a stolen case file to two incidents that put him and his girlfriend in the hospital.Robert S.

Witnesses say they saw low-flying, triangular craft over military sites | Reality Check
The White House on Friday released the latest tranche of declassified UFO files that includes information about recent incursions over U.S. military sites. Some of the documents date back to the 1940s, 1950s and 1960s, but perhaps the most intriguing records on “unidentified anomalous phenomena” are from this year. They include three separate reports describing what the FBI and the Pentagon call a black, triangle-shaped craft flying over sensitive military sites. The object reportedly flew at an elevation of 200 to 300 feet and measured about 9-feet long, with a wingspan of approximately 13 feet.The craft traveled roughly a mile and a half in less than three seconds while flying near military personnel. It reportedly had no obvious propulsion mechanism and produced no sound or lights. Some officials interviewed about the sightings said the U.S. may still be years away from developing technology comparable to what military personnel reported seeing with their own eyes. Other documents in Friday’s file release include reports of cylinder-shaped flying objects dating back to the 1960s and 1970s in Saudi Arabia, Sweden and other locations. Many of those records have never been declassified until now.#UAP #USmilitar #disclosure CREDITS:Host: Ross CoulthartExecutive Producer: Andy GipsonEditorial Producer: Meagan MedickSegment Producer: Will Tomasi, Christine JenkinsonResearch Producer: Rob JonesEditor: Kanyon LyonsOn "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.

The Lakenheath drone incursions | Reality Check
In this episode of "Reality Check," Ross Coulthart sits down with Mike Morgan, a former senior investigating officer with 30 years in British policing and the author of "The Silence is Deafening," and Liberty, a plane spotter who lives near Royal Air Force Lakenheath. The conversation centers on the objects reported over Lakenheath, Mildenhall, Feltwell and Fairford in November 2024, which officials called drones without naming an operator or releasing a single photograph.Morgan explains what his Freedom of Information requests turned up, from a police helicopter's near-miss report to an investigation staffed by part-time officers who, by his account, made no inquiries of local drone operators. Coulthart presses both men on the case for Russian or Chinese involvement and on why bases associated with nuclear weapons might draw that kind of attention. Liberty describes the silent craft that crossed his field the day before the incursions began and the radio call he says he heard from one of the pilots sent up to chase them.Mike Morgan's book, "The Silence is Deafening": https://www.amazon.com/dp/B0G3WSXH6DFootage courtesy of Liberty, Military Aviation Channel.Senator Mark Warner audio courtesy of Matt Laslo, Ask a Pol UAPs: https://www.askapoluaps.com/p/chinese-drones-shuttered-air-force-base-on-us-soilImages of General Glen VanHerck courtesy of the United States Department of Defense.SOCIAL TAGS:Ross CoulthartX: @rosscoulthart https://x.com/rosscoulthartInstagram: @rosscoulthart https://www.instagram.com/rosscoulthart/Mike MorganWebsite: msmorganbooks.co.uk https://www.msmorganbooks.co.uk/LibertyYouTube: @MilitaryAviationChannel https://www.youtube.com/@MilitaryAviationChannelTikTok: @militaryaviationchannel https://www.tiktok.com/@militaryaviationchannel#UFO #RAFLakenheath #UAP CREDITS:Host: Ross CoulthartExecutive Producer: Andy GipsonEditorial Producer: Meagan MedickProducer: Will TomasiResearch Producer: Rob JonesEditor: Anthony DiasioOn "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.

'Archive X' and the impossible | Reality Check
In this episode of "Reality Check," Ross Coulthart sits down with Jeffrey J. Kripal, the J. Newton Rayzor Chair in Philosophy and Religious Thought at Rice University and host of the new six-part series "Archive X: Unexplained Phenomena." Kripal oversees Rice's Center for the Impossible, formerly the Archives of the Impossible, a collection that holds the papers of John Mack and Jacques Vallée among more than a million items on telepathy, near-death experience, abduction and precognition.The conversation opens with the nonverbal autistic children of the series' first episode and the place they call the hill. Then, moves to the abduction account of Karin Austin, the artist Andrew Paquette's dreams of disasters that later happened and Kripal's argument that the brain is a receiver of consciousness rather than its producer. Coulthart puts the harder questions to Kripal, including why a nonhuman intelligence would block a witness's memory, whether a future human civilization is behind the encounters and what to make of Christian arguments that the phenomenon is demonic. Kripal's answer runs through all of it, that these experiences cluster around trauma and love, that they have happened for millennia and that the task is to listen before reducing them to any worldview.SOCIAL TAGS:Ross CoulthartX: @rosscoulthart https://x.com/rosscoulthartInstagram: @rosscoulthart https://www.instagram.com/rosscoulthart/Jeffrey KripalSubstack: @jeffkripal https://jeffkripal.substack.com/Website: https://jeffreyjkripal.com/#telepathy #abduction #nonhumanintelligence CREDITSHost: Ross CoulthartExecutive Producer: Andy GipsonEditorial Producer: Meagan MedickProducer: Will TomasiResearch Producer: Rob JonesEditor: Anthony DiasioOn "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.
