Ross Coulthart Q&A: Coulthart: New whistleblower rules are 'not transparency'
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 why there is still no official government platform for ordinary Americans to report UAP sightings, whether DMT could ever be used as a legitimate research tool at Skinwalker Ranch, and the ongoing speculation around a major UAP-related event in 2027. He also breaks down the "zoo hypothesis" and whether non-human intelligence is deliberately avoiding contact and international guidelines for how humanity should respond if a genuine ET signal is ever confirmed.Watch Meagan's show Unreported here: https://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PL6PrA6lo8rJKtTsTq9eAtpNdZzuyST-R-CHAPTER SUMMARY:0:00 Intro0:49 UAP disclosure rules1:21 DoW responds to Reality Check7:33 Discrepancies and confusion around guidance11:32 Where can the public report UFO sightings?19:23 Drug taking and skinwalker experiments21:37 2027 & 2034 speculation24:47 Are NHI trying to conceal their presence?27:42 Does Ross recommend trying to make contact with NHI?33:28 Will there be a tridactyl follow-up?39:27 What's behind Ross?41:06 Final thoughtsCREDITS:Host: Ross CoulthartExecutive Producer: Andy GipsonEditorial Producer: Meagan MedickSegment Producer: Will Tomasi, Christine JenkinsonResearch Producer: Rob JonesEditor: Anthony Diasio

Jacques Vallée's final report | Reality Check
In this episode of "Reality Check," Ross Coulthart sits down with Dr. Jacques Vallée, the astrophysicist, computer scientist and venture capitalist whose seven-volume "Forbidden Science" diaries have shaped UAP research for six decades. They discuss the final volume, "Forbidden Science 7." Vallée describes the data warehouse of some 260,000 sightings he built for the Bigelow Aerospace project funded by the Defense Intelligence Agency, why the work was cut off after roughly three years before the analysis he designed could run and the fact he has never been debriefed from his clearance.He walks Ross through his correspondence with a master remote viewer he calls "Gilbert," who describes being taken inside a laboratory built into a mountain and brought face to face with a living nonhuman entity that answered in configurations of light. He also tells Ross that he once came face to face with an entity himself. Vallée says a member in good standing of the National Academy of Sciences told him the academy was warned it could lose funding if it moved into the subject, and after sixty years of investigation, he has concluded that nobody is actually in charge of the phenomenon inside the U.S. government.The conversation closes on a 1966 Louisiana case in which a physics professor watched an object radiate energy on the order of a nuclear power station and on the piece of tree bark Vallée has kept ever since, waiting for a way to test it that does not cut into the wood.#ForbiddenScience #BigelowAerospace #NationalAcademyofSciencesCREDITS:Host: Ross CoulthartExecutive Producer: Andy GipsonEditorial Producer: Meagan MedickAssociate Producer: 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.

Physicist, former NASA researcher takes UAP seriously | Reality Check
Check Out Odoo, The all-in-one platform to manage your business at https://www.odoo.com/r/4gMNIn this episode of "Reality Check," recorded at the Scientific Coalition for UAP Studies conference in Toronto, Ross Coulthart sits down with professor Kevin Knuth, the University at Albany SUNY physicist and former NASA Ames researcher. His 2019 peer-reviewed paper in the journal Entropy estimated the 2004 Nimitz Tic-Tac at thousands of G with no sonic boom, no exhaust and no heat signature. Knuth opens with the anomalous experiences that shaped him long before physics, from a childhood intuition on a Wisconsin bench seat to the night he and his toddler son both saw a boy standing at a bedroom gate in their Albany home. The conversation moves through the 1988 Montana cattle mutilations, the Malmstrom missile shutdowns and Knuth's own hypothesis for how a craft warping spacetime could knock out an ICBM's navigation system, and his account that AARO had a copy of his paper two months before Sean Kirkpatrick told the Senate no such peer-reviewed work existed. He describes sonar data from a New Zealand Navy frigate showing an 800-foot object closing 2.5 kilometers in 25 seconds underwater, the UAPx sensor network now deploying radar and RF spectrum analysis in Connecticut, and the limits already placed on the new UAP Science Advisory Council, which has been told it will see only unclassified material. Asked what he wants most, Knuth says he would like to stand inside one of these crafts, and he has spoken with people who say it's possible.#UAP #TicTacUFO #AARO CREDITSHost: Ross CoulthartExecutive Producer: Andy GipsonEditorial Producer: Meagan MedickAssociate Producer: Will TomasiResearch 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.

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.#UAPs #disclosure #AARO CREDITS:Host: Ross CoulthartExecutive Producer: Andy GipsonEditorial Producer: Meagan MedickSegment Producer: Will Tomasi, Christine JenkinsonResearch 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.

Why 250 British officers finally spoke about 'close encounters' | Reality Check
Check Out Odoo, The all-in-one platform to manage your business at https://www.odoo.com/r/4gMNIn 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.#UAP #UFO #Britain CREDITS:Host: Ross CoulthartExecutive Producer: Andy GipsonEditorial Producer: Meagan MedickAssociate Producer: 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.

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.#AATIP #UFOs #UAP CREDITS:Host: Ross CoulthartExecutive Producer: Andy GipsonEditorial Producer: Meagan MedickSegment Producer: Will Tomasi, Christine JenkinsonResearch Producer: Rob JonesEditor: Mariko CharvatOn "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.

'Something is observing us': Man tracks every flyover at America's nuclear plants | Reality Check
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.#nuclearplant #UAPs #drones CREDITS:Host: Ross CoulthartExecutive Producer: Andy GipsonEditorial Producer: Meagan MedickAssociate Producer: Will TomasiResearch Producer: Rob JonesEditor: Tony 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.
