episode Ross Coulthart Q&A: UFO document dumps and catastrophic disclosure | Reality Check cover

Description

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.

Inside NASA's UFO coverup culture | Reality Check

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. #NASA #coverup #UAP CREDITS: Host: Ross Coulthart Executive Producer: Andy Gipson Editorial Producer: Meagan Medick Segment Producer: Christine Jenkinson Associate Producer: Will Tomasi Research Producer: Rob Jones Editor: Kanyon Lyons 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.

South American adventure: Ross Coulthart explores Rapa Nui, aka Easter Island | Reality Check

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? #RapaNui #EasterIsland #Moai CREDITS: Host: Ross Coulthart Executive Producer: Andy Gipson Editorial Producer: Meagan Ourada Segment Producer: Christine Jenkinson Associate Producer: Will Tomasi Editor: 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.

Ross Coulthart breaks silence on Lue Elizondo backlash: 'I was surprised' | Reality Check

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. #LueElizondo #ChrisCuomo #RossCoulthart CREDITS: Host: Ross Coulthart Executive Producer: Andy Gipson Editorial Producer: Meagan Medick Segment Producer: Christine Jenkinson, Will Tomasi Research Producer: Rob Jones Editor: 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.

Rep. Eric Burlison on UAP material he saw inside SCIF and files he's forcing open | Reality Check

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. #UAPCaucus #UAP #disclosure CREDITS: Host: Ross Coulthart Executive Producer: Andy Gipson Editorial Producer: Meagan Ourada Segment Producer: Christine Jenkinson Associate Producer: Will Tomasi Research Producer: Rob Jones Editor: Kanyon Lyons 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.

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.
