    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.

    Ross Coulthart Q&A: Whistleblowers, 'Manhattan Project 2.0' and China Lake 

    Watch Unreported with Meagan Medick here: https://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PL6PrA6lo8rJKtTsTq9eAtpNdZzuyST-R-Ross Coulthart explores untold stories using a fact-based approach, addressing topics ranging from unidentified aerial phenomena to other often unreported mysteries. 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.

    'Transformation 2026,' Whitley Strieber on drone wave and NHI interest in souls | 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 week’s episode, Ross sits down with Whitley Strieber, author of "Communion," "Breakthrough" and the newly released "Transformation 2026," to walk through what four decades of encounters have taught him about nonhuman intelligence and the human soul. Strieber describes his earliest experience, the entities he believes are "hungry" for the accumulated experiences a soul carries and the moment he realized his son was caught up in the same phenomenon. Ross presses him on the questions that have followed him since "Communion" landed in 1987, including why he abandoned fiction, whether the beings are manipulating him and how he reconciles the early trauma with his current, more open stance. Their conversation turns to General Art Exon and what Strieber learned from him about Roswell, the 80-year coverup and the families connected to Wright-Patterson, who carried pieces of the story forward. The episode closes on the current drone wave, which Strieber suspects may be part of the phenomenon's effort to push human consciousness toward something it cannot yet name.

    Ross Coulthart Q&A: Alien hybrids, 'Disclosure Day' and a secret that changed things | 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, Ross reacts to President Trump's bombshell moment, where he mentioned "extraterrestrials" in a Cabinet meeting, calling it a positive sign, but Ross cautions the current document releases still fall short of meaningful disclosure.  A viewer asks about CIA allegations of secretly accessing consumer DNA databases, like Ancestry.com and 23andMe, in search of genetic markers tied to alleged alien-human hybrids. Ross also weighs in on the "Disclosure Day" film and pushes back against a White House senior adviser's dismissal of grey alien reports, calling the explanation "quite extraordinary." A viewer from Chile asks whether suppressed UAP-derived energy technology potentially capable of replacing fossil fuels overnight will ever see the light of day. Ross says he strongly believes game-changing breakthroughs are being sat on by defense contractors and intelligence insiders. He also revisits the "Red Book" and "Yellow Book," alleged classified government documents said to chronicle alien contact going back decades. The episode closes with a deeply personal story about what first convinced him this phenomena was real: his conversations with Nat Cobitz, the former Director of Science, Technology and Development for the U.S. Navy, who described being shown recovered nonhuman craft materials.
