Beskrivelse

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 Q&A: 'We’ve got to stop this bloody nonsense:' Coulthart on UFO infighting

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 Check

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. #DisclosureForum #CapitolHill #UAPs 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.
