    NASA chief says all UAP data released; Coulthart says no | Reality Check

    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

    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.

    The 'real' secret space program | Reality Check

    If you’re ever injured in an accident, you can check out Morgan & Morgan. 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. While his work is widely accessible to mainstream audiences via major streaming giants, including Amazon Prime and Apple TV, he is also dedicated to releasing high-quality investigations directly to the public. 🌍 Puerto Rico's UAP The 2013 Aguadilla Homeland Security incident is the most analyzed UAP footage ever captured.

    The case for UAP science | Reality Check

    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.

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

    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.
