  Inside 'Kona Blue,' the alleged Lockheed-to-DHS UFO transfer | Reality Check 04.08.2026 41min

  In this episode of "Reality Check," Ross Coulthart sits down with a UAP researcher known online as "UAP Gerb.” Picking up where Part 1 left off, they dig into the "Immaculate Constellation" document and whistleblower Matthew Brown's claims about nonhuman and reproduction vehicle data. Gerb walks through "Kona Blue," an alleged DHS-brokered program in which Lockheed Martin material was reportedly diverted before the CIA shut it down.Coulthart presses the national security case for controlled disclosure, while Gerb raises troubling allegations: directed-energy attacks on people close to the program, civilian aircraft allegedly downed by EMP weapons during craft-recovery operations and an alleged murder. They close on whether President Trump or Congress can force real transparency.#UAPGerb #KonaBlue #EMPsCREDITS:Host: Ross CoulthartExecutive Producer: Andy GipsonEditorial Producer: Meagan MedickSegment Producer: Christine Jenkinson, Will TomasiResearch Producer: Rob JonesEditor: Kanyon LyonsOn "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.

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 #UFOdisclosureCREDITSHost: Ross CoulthartExecutive Producer: Andy GipsonEditorial Producer: Meagan MedickSegment Producer: Christine Jenkinson, Will TomasiResearch Producer: Rob JonesEditor: Kanyon LyonsOn "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.

Eric Burlison’s pending legislation, not the president's statement, is the real key to disclosure.He tackles questions about Rep.

  Dr. Phil on UFO files: 'There has been a massive cover-up' | Reality Check 21.07.2026 38min

  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 #UFOFilesCREDITSHost: Ross CoulthartExecutive Producer: Andy GipsonEditorial Producer: Meagan MedickSegment Producer: Christine JenkinsonAssociate Producer: Will TomasiResearch Producer: Rob JonesEditor: Kanyon LyonsOn "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 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.

  Ross Coulthart and Meagan Medick (@producermeagan) answer your questions each week on the "Reality Check Q&A." This week, they respond to Lue Elizondo's claims that NASA knows more about the UFO mystery than they are letting on. As new astronaut UFO files release, and ahead of another Reality Check deep-dive into lunar anomalies with Max Derakshani, what is the latest on a new investigation into the agency? Ross Coulthart also reveals new reporting on secret American bases in Antarctica: Could they be tied to a visit by former Secretary of State and presidential candidate John Kerry? Also in the show: What has Ross heard about a longer version of the famous Gimbal UFO video? Plus, Ross revisits his trips to Egypt and Peru to share why he is not yet convinced ancient alien tech played a part, though he admits ancient humans knew something we don't understand today.

  Inside NASA's UFO coverup culture | Reality Check 07.07.2026 1u 5min

  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 #UAPCREDITS:Host: Ross CoulthartExecutive Producer: Andy GipsonEditorial Producer: Meagan MedickSegment Producer: Christine JenkinsonAssociate Producer: Will TomasiResearch Producer: Rob JonesEditor: Kanyon LyonsOn "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 05.07.2026 32min

  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.

  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 #RossCoulthartCREDITS:Host: Ross CoulthartExecutive Producer: Andy GipsonEditorial Producer: Meagan MedickSegment Producer: Christine Jenkinson, Will TomasiResearch Producer: Rob JonesEditor: Anthony DiasioOn "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 30.06.2026 21min

  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 #disclosureCREDITS:Host: Ross CoulthartExecutive Producer: Andy GipsonEditorial Producer: Meagan OuradaSegment Producer: Christine JenkinsonAssociate Producer: Will TomasiResearch Producer: Rob JonesEditor: Kanyon LyonsOn "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 23.06.2026 51min

  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.pdfThe 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 #psychologyCREDITSHost: Ross CoulthartExecutive Producer: Andy GipsonEditorial Producer: Meagan MedickSegment Producer: Christine JenkinsonAssociate Producer: Will TomasiResearch Producer: Rob JonesEditor: John NockOn "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 21.06.2026 32min

  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.Watch Unreported with Meagan Medick here: https://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PL6PrA6lo8rJKtTsTq9eAtpNdZzuyST-R-#UAP #GovernanceBoard #WhiteHouseCREDITS:Host: Ross CoulthartExecutive Producer: Andy GipsonEditorial Producer: Meagan MedickSegment Producer: Christine JenkinsonAssociate Producer: Will TomasiResearch Producer: Rob JonesEditor: Sarah JacksonOn "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.

  Watergate, the JFK assassination and a UFO secret at the center of it all | Reality Check 18.06.2026 1u 32min

  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?JONATHAN CAPLAN'S BOOK, "NOT FOR DISCLOSURE":Blackwell's (free hardback shipping for US customers, hardback available June 11): https://blackwells.co.uk/bookshop/product/Not-for-Disclosure-by-Jonathan-Caplan/9781529979961Amazon UK (ships hardback to the US, delivery charged, hardback available June 11): https://www.amazon.co.uk/Not-Disclosure-UFOS-Worlds-Secret/dp/152997996X/Amazon US (audiobook and ebook available June 11, hardback available August 18): https://www.amazon.com/Not-Disclosure-Jonathan-Caplan/dp/152997996X/CREDITSHost: Ross CoulthartExecutive Producer: Andy GipsonEditorial Producer: Meagan MedickSegment Producer: Christine JenkinsonAssociate Producer: Will TomasiResearch Producer: Rob JonesEditor: Anthony DiasioCHAPTERS:00 Intro2:06 What Pulled a Fraud Barrister Into the UFO Question3:44 What Britain's Establishment Knows, and the UK Case Worth Your Attention5:50 British Special Forces, Crash Retrieval, and the Goodwood Aerodrome Video7:28 Prince Philip's Quiet Interest, and a Long Line of UFO-Curious Nobility9:45 The Mr. Janus Story, an Air Marshal's Strangest Encounter12:28 A Senior RAF Officer's Portal Story, and Forrestal's Meeting With Tizard16:20 The MJ12 Documents, and Why Caplan Thinks They're Real21:13 Were the Documents Forged by James Jesus Angleton?23:28 Corroborating the Papers, a Fraud Investigator's Standard of Proof28:35 Tim Cooper's Originals and the New Documents Ryan Wood Recovered33:43 The Blair House Document, and Politicians as "Temporary Employees"36:00 A Craft Forced Down at White Sands, and the Mantell Case37:42 The Richard Drain Letter, and the 1953 Decision to Debunk41:19 Why These Papers Are Hard to Fake, and How They Surfaced46:55 The Holloman "Advanced Contact" Meeting With a Nordic Being49:19 JFK, UFOs, and Howard Hunt's Lawyer Douglas Caddy54:18 Was Watergate Really About Hiding UFO Secrets?58:11 The US and Russia's Agreement to Deconflict Over UAP59:28 The Lancer Document, Pulled From a Burning Fireplace1:03:28 Do the Documents Tie JFK's Death to UFOs?1:05:14 Frank Sturgis, the Grassy Knoll, and a Confession Never Chased Down1:07:51 Marilyn Monroe, Dorothy Kilgallen, and a Leaked Wiretap1:11:19 A Cancer at the Heart of the Mystery, and the CIA's Air Warfare Branch1:13:46 Chris Sharp's UK Office of Global Access, Does Caplan Buy It?1:17:58 An Astronaut Sent to Russia for a Retrieval, and What Clinton Knew1:17:59 Uri Geller, Haim Eshed, and the Contacts Caplan Is Still Chasing1:21:41 Is a Non-Human Intelligence Here, and Keel's Cryptoterrestrials1:26:00 Why Disclosure Won't Come From Trump1:27:09 The Condign Report, Sentient Plasmoids, and Whether We're Ready

  Royal Navy sailor says UAP encounter triggered downloads from nonhuman intelligence | Reality Check 16.06.2026 1u 19min

  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 #neardeathexperienceCREDITS:Host: Ross CoulthartExecutive Producer: Andy GipsonEditorial Producer: Meagan MedickSegment Producer: Christine JenkinsonAssociate Producer: Will TomasiResearch Producer: Rob JonesEditor: Maria Morales-SalazarOn "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.
