Ross Coulthart: The White House is going around the legacy program | Reality Check
2026/10/18
🚗 See if you're overpaying for car insurance with Jerry: https://pnl.link/mNppXwk 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 Avi Loeb’s plan to deploy scientific sensors at orb hotspots, starting with White Sands, and why he believes the White House is working around the legacy program’s cover-up. He explains why older UAP accounts describe gears and shafts while modern ones don’t and why Europe’s UAP hotspots include Greece. Plus, he gives his take on Jake Barber’s new mothership video and the Cold War-era nuclear explosions that may have brought down a UAP.

'Archive X' and the impossible | Reality Check
2026/10/13
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.

NASA chief says all UAP data released; Coulthart says no | Reality Check
2026/10/11
Ross Coulthart and Meagan Medick open with a “Reality Check” exclusive: NewsNation’s Nancy Loo sat down with NASA Administrator Jared Isaacman, who said the agency has already released all of its UAP data. Coulthart says that isn’t the case and he walks through the Apollo, Gemini and Skylab records he says are still unreleased. In this week’s episode, Coulthart tackles questions about the Apollo 17 “blue dots” film still under Pentagon and NASA review, the Defense Intelligence Agency’s announcement that it has found missing files and Jake Barber’s new claim that a cylindrical “mothership” releases egg-shaped craft, which Coulthart compares to historic sightings over Tehran in 1976. He also examines whether artificial intelligence is the key to understanding the UAP phenomenon, from Dr. Beatrice Villarroel’s geostationary-orbit research to the possibility of an autonomous monitoring system watching Earth.

Mapping the Palomar transient hotspots | Reality Check
2026/10/06
In this episode of "Reality Check," Ross Coulthart sits down with astrophysicist Dr. Beatriz Villarroel, founder of the VASCO project at Nordita in Stockholm, and Vanderbilt's Dr. Stephen Bruehl, whose new paper suggests something in near-Earth space was flashing sunlight onto the photographic plates at Palomar Observatory years before Sputnik ever reached orbit. Projected back down to the ground, those flashes don't scatter at random. They cluster over some very familiar places, including the Pacific off Southern Mexico near where the Nimitz Tic-Tac encounter took place in 2004, the southern Gulf of Mexico off Tampico and the American Southwest around Sedona and White Sands Missile Range. The nuclear connection gets even stranger. On the night before Castle Yankee, the 13.5-megaton hydrogen bomb detonated at Bikini Atoll in May 1954, 203 high-probability transients appeared over the Pacific, while the transients tied to Nevada tests fell over Arizona and New Mexico instead. Coulthart plays the debunker for much of the hour, pressing the pair on plate defects, cosmic rays, radioactive fallout, survey bias and whether enough statistical tests will always turn up a hit. They also discuss independent work by former Hubble scientist Ivo Busko, whose plates from a German observatory show the same spike in transients on April 4, 1956, that appears in the Palomar data. By the end, Villarroel says she believes they're looking at some kind of surveillance system, Bruehl puts the odds of nonhuman monitoring at better than 50% and both confirm the three-letter agencies have taken notice. #nonhuman #Palomar #sputnik CREDITS Host: Ross Coulthart Executive Producer: Andy Gipson Editorial Producer: Meagan Medick Producer: 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.

You can start your claim in just a click without having to leave your couch: “The Lawyer You Choose Matters” https://www.forthepeople.com/Ross In this episode of "Reality Check," Ross Coulthart sits down with Canadian documentary filmmaker Darcy Weir, whose films "Dark Alliance" and "Dark Alliance: The Next Generation" examine the secret space program stories promoted by Corey Goode, David Wilcock and the New Age conference circuit. Weir describes a 2022 deposition in which Goode stated he had never physically been to space, the copyright actions that took his earlier film offline and the 20 and Back, Dark Fleet and med bed accounts that spread through Gaia TV programming. Coulthart and Weir separate that mythology from the documented record of covert space activity, from the Manned Orbiting Laboratory and the X-37B to Gary McKinnon's account of his NASA intrusion, before turning to David Wilcock's final years as a director at Stavatti Aerospace and a company statement, read on air, about an insider's "space fighter" drawing that turned out to be a canceled Navy attack aircraft. The final stretch covers orbital encounters witnessed by NASA astronauts and recorded by military satellites, including the Skylab 3 object, the Air Force Fast Walker database, DSP Flight 7 and STS-80 imagery now listed as unidentified in the government's Pursue release. 🔺 Secret Space UFOs: Fast Walkers & Rise of the TR3B Military secrecy, covert aerospace programs, and the biggest cover-up questions you never thought to ask. ▶️ Fast Walkers: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=zIol5hApCfw&rco=1 ▶️ Rise of the TR3B: https://youtu.be/iAW7N5Q7vv4?si=vx4JHpXz6uWHIUkp Over a 13-year career, Weir has produced over 20 independent documentary productions, including 18 feature-length documentaries and two specialized TV docuseries.

The case for UAP science | Reality Check
2026/09/22
In this episode of "Reality Check," Ross Coulthart sits down with professor Matthew Szydagis, an astroparticle physicist at the University at Albany SUNY, who was recently appointed to the UAP Science Advisory Council for the White House and federal agencies. Szydagis describes what the council can and cannot do without security clearances, including the more than 50 declassification requests its members have already filed and names the Varginha UFO case as the one he most wants disclosed. He walks Coulthart through the energy a Tic Tac maneuver would demand, and why he treats the claim that interstellar distances are too great as a misreading of relativity rather than a limit on visitation. He also gives a detailed account of his ongoing testing of one of the Art's Parts samples entrusted to him by Tom DeLonge and Hal Puthoff, including the millimeter-scale holes that point toward a human origin. The harassment that followed came not from debunkers but from people who want the sample to be alien, and he says it has been worse than anything skeptics have sent him. #UAP #science #declassification CREDITS: Host: Ross Coulthart Executive Producer: Andy Gipson Editorial Producer: Meagan Medick 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 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
2026/09/15
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 #NationalAcademyofSciences CREDITS: Host: Ross Coulthart Executive Producer: Andy Gipson Editorial Producer: Meagan Medick Associate Producer: 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.

Physicist, former NASA researcher takes UAP seriously | Reality Check
2026/09/08
Check Out Odoo, The all-in-one platform to manage your business at https://www.odoo.com/r/4gMN In 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 CREDITS Host: Ross Coulthart Executive Producer: Andy Gipson Editorial Producer: Meagan Medick 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.

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 Coulthart Executive Producer: Andy Gipson Editorial Producer: Meagan Medick Segment Producer: Will Tomasi, Christine Jenkinson 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.

Why 250 British officers finally spoke about 'close encounters' | Reality Check
2026/09/01
Check Out Odoo, The all-in-one platform to manage your business at https://www.odoo.com/r/4gMN 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. #UAP #UFO #Britain CREDITS: Host: Ross Coulthart Executive Producer: Andy Gipson Editorial Producer: Meagan Medick Associate Producer: 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.

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 Coulthart Executive Producer: Andy Gipson Editorial Producer: Meagan Medick Segment Producer: Will Tomasi, Christine Jenkinson Research Producer: Rob Jones Editor: Mariko Charvat 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.
