    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 reacts to David Grusch's bombshell press conference on the Capitol steps, the multiple types of nonhuman intelligence Grusch described on the record and the growing push for tougher whistleblower protections inside Congress.

    Coulthart answers questions about the billions of dollars of concealed defense slush funds that could give Congress its constitutional foothold, and why the White House's engagement with UAP disclosure may signal a turning point. Plus, Ross shares his reaction to attending the premiere of Steven Spielberg's "Disclosure Day."

    14/06/2026 | 1h 2 mins.

    In this TV special, Ross brings us a cinematic, investigative journey through the history of UFO disclosure: from ancient sightings and Roswell to modern whistleblowers, congressional hearings, declassified files and Hollywood’s fascination with the phenomenon.

    Including new interviews with Steven Spielberg, Colman Domingo, Emily Blunt and screenwriter David Koepp, the show also includes a behind-the-scenes look at the making of the movie from a NewsNation reporter who makes a cameo. Ross also shares some behind-the-scenes footage from his landmark interviews, including David Grusch, Lue Elizondo and Jake Barber. Brian Entin also visits Area 51, staking out the legendary place at night. Plus: George Knapp details his famous interview with Bob Lazar.

    Is the US government covering up technology that would crash the oil industry? | Reality Check

    09/06/2026 | 49 mins.
    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.

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

    07/06/2026 | 37 mins.
    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

    05/06/2026 | 16 mins.
    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.
