In this episode of "Reality Check," Ross Coulthart sits down with a UAP researcher known online as "UAP Gerb." Together, they trace the secret history of the UAP legacy program, from its origins after the 1947 Roswell crash through today's disclosure fight. Gerb lays out allegations that Lue Elizondo is being positioned for a National Security Council role to help engineer limited, controlled disclosure, similar to what Gerb says happened under Director of National Intelligence James Clapper and the AATIP program in 2016. The two dig into the Podesta emails, the Majestic-12 and Eisenhower briefing document controversies, the deaths of James Forrestal and JFK and how control of crash-retrieval programs allegedly shifted from the National Security Council into private aerospace hands in the 1990s. Gerb argues David Grusch remains the key figure capable of forcing real accountability, and Coulthart presses him on why Congress and even the president may lack the power to compel answers. #UAPGerb #LueElizondo #UFOdisclosure CREDITS Host: Ross Coulthart Executive Producer: Andy Gipson Editorial Producer: Meagan Medick Segment Producer: Christine Jenkinson, 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.

In this week's episode of "Reality Check," Ross Coulthart joins Meagan Medick from Toronto, where he's attending the Scientific Coalition for UAP Studies' annual conference. Coulthart breaks down President Trump's directive waiving prior NDAs for legacy program witnesses and why Rep. Eric Burlison’s pending legislation, not the president's statement, is the real key to disclosure. He tackles questions about Rep. Anna Paulina Luna's request for 46 classified UAP files, whether the new UAP governance body and science advisory board are just bureaucratic stalling tactics and the status of "the portal" investigation. #UAPfiles #legacyprogram #ScientificCoalitionforUAPStudies CREDITS: Host: Ross Coulthart Executive Producer: Andy Gipson Editorial Producer: Meagan Medick Segment Producer: Christine Jenkinson, Will Tomasi Research Producer: Rob Jones Editor: Maria Morales-Salazar 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.

Dr. Phil on UFO files: 'There has been a massive cover-up' | Reality Check
In this episode of "Reality Check," Ross Coulthart sits down with Dr. Phil McGraw, the psychologist and television host the White House invited to review the latest tranche of UFO files before it reached the public. Dr. Phil explains why an administration weighing disclosure went looking for a trusted voice rather than an astrophysicist, and what changed his mind once he started reading the government's own words: from Lt. General Nathan Twining's 1947 assessment that the phenomenon was something real and not visionary, to the 1949 classified conference at Los Alamos convened over sightings above America's nuclear weapons sites, to the CIA's Robertson Panel strategy of publicizing cases already debunked and saying nothing about the ones that weren't, to the JANAP directives that put military and commercial pilots under threat of prison, heavy fines and the Espionage Act for describing what they saw. He tells Coulthart the imagery released so far is intentionally grainy, that far better gun camera video and radar tracks exist and that Reps. Tim Burchett and Anna Paulina Luna are helping him press for their release. Drawing on close to 50 years of sitting with people through the worst losses a person can absorb, Dr. Phil rejects the argument that Americans are too fragile to be told, calling it a patronizing view, while arguing the government owes real support to the people who will struggle with it. Two things he says he will state with confidence to the American public: There has been a huge cover-up and there are things in our atmosphere we cannot explain and did not build. #DrPhil #UAP #UFOFiles 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.

In this episode of "Reality Check," Ross Coulthart sits down with theoretical physicist and philosopher of physics Maaneli Derakhshani for a long look at the anomalous features cataloged across the moon, Phobos and the surface of Mars. The conversation opens with Lue Elizondo's remarks on lunar anomalies, then works outward to the Phobos 2 spacecraft and the object NASA's own mission literature once described as a monolith along with the reason SETI took that object seriously enough to study. From there, Max walks Ross through the imagery that has drawn the most attention on Mars, from the so-called glass worm to the rectilinear formations near the Atlantis basin, applying the same fractal analysis that NASA and the Department of Defense use to separate natural terrain from engineered structures. Grounding the discussion in Carl Sagan's own standards for searching for evidence of past life, Max makes the case that some of these features deserve to be treated as genuine open questions rather than tricks of light and shadow. Also featured in this episode is the work of Jean Ward, Independent Mars Researcher, a colleague of Dr. Derakhshani's whose work can be found at https://www.youtube.com/jeanward and https://megalithicmars.com/ 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: 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.

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.

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.

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.

The impact of disclosure: John Priestland, Dr. Martin Abbas on psychology of contact | Reality Check
In this episode of "Reality Check," Ross Coulthart sits down with John Priestland and Dr. Martin Abbas of uNHIdden, the U.K. and U.S. foundation behind the first systematic public health framework for a disclosure event. Their report, "Preparing for Disclosure: A Public Health Framework for Paradigm-shifting Revelations," was published in June 2026. You can read it in full here:https://www.unhidden.org/wp-content/uploads/2026/06/uNHIdden-Preparedness-Plan-Final-1.pdf The premise is almost entirely unexamined. Governments plan for pandemics, natural disasters and mass-casualty events, but nothing in any national framework prepares ordinary people for the psychological and social fallout of learning that humanity is not alone. UNHIdden takes no position on whether confirmatory information sits inside a classified program. Their case rests on the precautionary principle: the potential scale of the public response is large, the preparedness gap is real and the cost of preparing for an event that may never come is modest next to the cost of being unprepared. The report borrows tools from pandemic preparedness, disaster mental health and crisis communication. Ross and his guests work through that framework. They define ontological shock, the disorientation a person feels when the ground assumptions of their reality give way, and trace why the mental health toll of a societal trauma so often outlasts the physical one. The conversation covers the institutional history that built the stigma, including the Robertson Panel and the decision to make ridicule a matter of policy and the lasting damage institutional betrayal does once a public learns it was misled. Dr. Abbas, a practicing GP, describes what it is like to sit across from an experiencer whose first words are almost always a version of "I'm not crazy, but I know you'll think I am." The two men map the high-risk groups who could struggle most, from committed skeptics and the religiously devout to experiencers and the already vulnerable, and explain the population strategy at the center of the plan, drawn from epidemiologist Geoffrey Rose, that lifting whole-society resilience even slightly does more aggregate good than concentrating on the most severely affected. Ross presses them on the hardest scenarios, a craft down in Hyde Park, the question of religious confrontation and whether a government still managing a half-truth does more harm than the full truth would. The episode closes on consciousness, near-death research and the possibility that simply talking about all of this openly, now, is the gentlest way to prepare. #uNHIdden #disclosure #psychology 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: John Nock 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: Amnesty protections, dark side of moon and disclosure stalled? | Reality Check
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 breaks down the White House's new UAP Governance Board, warning it could become another "toothless tiger" like Project Blue Book, lacking subpoena power and reliant on the Pentagon's goodwill. He also makes the case for whistleblower amnesty, drawing on his experience covering South Africa's Truth and Reconciliation Commission to argue why immunity may be the only realistic path to real disclosure. Plus, Coulthart digs into newly surfaced Apollo 16 audio describing unexplained gravity and gamma-ray anomalies near the dark side of the moon.

Watergate, the JFK assassination and a UFO secret at the center of it all | Reality Check
Jonathan Caplan KC, a veteran British barrister and King’s Counsel, joins Ross Coulthart this week for "Reality Check" to discuss Caplan's new book Not For Disclosure, the culmination of 50 years investigating the UAP mystery. Applying the same evidentiary standards he used in court, Caplan explains why he believes the phenomenon deserves serious attention. Ross asks what Britain may quietly know about UAPs, which UK cases are most credible, and what to make of persistent claims involving British special forces and crash retrievals. The conversation also explores Prince Philip’s interest in UFOs, reports of UFO-curious British nobility, and the mysterious figure Air Marshal Sir Peter Horsley called “Mr. Janus.” A major focus is the controversial Majestic 12 documents. Caplan explains why he considers key papers authentic, addresses claims they were forged, and examines documents tied to Timothy Cooper, Ryan Wood, White Sands, Richard Drain, and the 1953 effort to debunk the subject. The discussion then turns to allegations involving President John F. Kennedy, Howard Hunt, Watergate, and the so-called Lancer document. Finally, Caplan and Coulthart tackle the biggest question of all: if nonhuman intelligence is interacting with Earth, what exactly is it—and are we ready to know?

Royal Navy sailor says UAP encounter triggered downloads from nonhuman intelligence | Reality Check
In this episode of "Reality Check," Ross Coulthart sits down with John Seer, a UK-based former Royal Navy sailor and author who says decades of intuitive "downloads" from nonhuman intelligence began with a UAP encounter at sea when he was just 16 years old. Seer traces the story back to a childhood near-death experience at age 12, when a golf club to the head sent him to a place he describes as pure white and filled with love, an experience he believes opened the channel everything else would later flow through. He recounts the sighting witnessed from the bridge of his warship, the jets scrambled in response and the captain's announcement over the intercom that what the crew had just seen, they had not. He then describes the lowest moment of his life, a train ride during which a monk-like figure appeared, turned around, and held a conversation with him that seemed to move outside of time, the encounter that set the downloads in motion. From there, the conversation widens into the philosophy of death, the idea of bodies as containers for souls, urgent warnings about artificial superintelligence and the year 2027, and the hypothesis, drawing on Dr. Michael Masters' work, that the "Greys" are not visitors from another world but a future iteration of humanity returning to its own past. John answers the skeptics directly, explains why he believes full disclosure will never come, and shares the downloads he says the public needs to hear before time runs out. #JohnSeer #nonhumanintelligence #neardeathexperience 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: Maria Morales-Salazar 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.

Is the US government covering up technology that would crash the oil industry? | Reality Check
Ross Coulthart explores untold stories using a fact-based approach to address various topics, from unidentified aerial phenomena to other mysteries that often go unreported. In this episode of "Reality Check," Ross Coulthart sits down with Matthew Tuttle. He's the CEO and chief investment officer of Tuttle Capital Management, a U.S.-based thematic exchange-traded fund firm. Together, they examine the financial and legal aspects of UAP disclosure, an angle rarely explored in mainstream coverage of the phenomenon. Tuttle recently launched UFOD, one of the first U.S. listed ETFs explicitly built around the UAP disclosure thesis. The fund is anchored in what he calls the "secret gap," the long-standing disparity between classified government technology and what the public has been allowed to know while aerospace contractors, quantum computing firms, drone manufacturers and alternative energy companies are positioned to benefit if suppressed technologies are ever released. Coulthart and Tuttle dig into the legal implications of continuous disclosure obligations for publicly listed defense contractors, the extraordinary admission by Lockheed Martin CEO James Taiclet that the company possesses technology he described as "magical and game-changing." They also explore why the Department of War has now failed seven consecutive annual financial audits, leaving $1.8 trillion in assets unaccounted for. They also tackle the question of whether a formal UAP disclosure would trigger the market shock economists have warned about, or whether the world is already more prepared than most assume. #LockheedMartin #UAPdisclosure #UFOD 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: John Nock 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.

He is now turning to viewers, answering their pressing questions each week. In this week’s episode, Coulthart reacts to the White House’s use of the aliens.gov website, calling it a misguided attempt to trivialize the UAP subject and warning that it risks serious public backlash. A viewer asks about the June 9 Disclosure Foundation event at the Capitol, where David Grusch is set to make a rare public appearance alongside members of the UAP caucus, including Reps. Burlison, Luna and Moskowitz, as well as Sen. Gillibrand. Coulthart also examines the significance of White House Deputy Chief of Staff Stephen Miller engaging with Rep. Burlison’s proposed 60-day amnesty window for UAP insiders, calling it the most encouraging signal yet from the Trump administration. In response to a question about Eric Weinstein’s “Manhattan Project 2.0” hypothesis, Coulthart shares new intelligence suggesting the legacy program has made breakthroughs in propulsion and energy but has been hindered by excessive compartmentalization. He also says China Lake is currently being swarmed by UAPs, disrupting weapons testing, and adds he believes craft have been brought down there.#rosscoulthart #uap #disclosure #whistleblower #manhattanproject #chinalake #realitycheck CHAPTER SUMMARY::38 Ross’ take on Elizondo’s comments about disclosure5:35 June 9th event with David Grusch10:52 Protections for whistleblowers16:16 Is the legacy UAP program a “Manhattan Project” 2.0?21:18 China Lake & the UAP legacy program24:24 Legal questions around legacy programs & enforcing silence34:48 Final thoughtsCREDITS:Host: Ross CoulthartExecutive Producer: Andy GipsonEditorial Producer: Meagan MedickSegment Producer: Christine JenkinsonAssociate Producer: Will TomasiResearch Producer: Rob JonesEditor: 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 Rep. Eric Burlison Believes Key UAP Evidence Remains Hidden | Reality Check
In a one-on-one interview with NewsNation's Joe Khalil, Missouri Rep. Eric Burlison discusses his push for greater transparency regarding closely held government secrets about unidentified anomalous phenomena, or UAPs. Burlison, a member of the House Oversight Committee, argues that while the current administration has gained momentum on disclosure, the material released so far is "low-hanging fruit" because some of it had already been leaked or debunked. Burlison says the focus has shifted to the private sector because he believes companies and individuals possess videos, files and other UAP-related materials that have not been made public. He also discusses footage of "glowing orbs" that appear to defy conventional aerodynamics and explains his theory on why previous administrations kept the information secret.
