    Ross Coulthart Q&A: Skinwalker's dire wolf, CIA cover-ups, and time-traveling UFOs

    16/08/2026 | 31 mins.
    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 tackles questions about the reported dire wolf recovery and DNA results at Skinwalker Ranch, the CIA's continued influence inside the ODNI following Tulsi Gabbard's exit, and whether the legacy program is in possession of technology that could make time travel possible. Coulthart also responds to a retired detective's daytime sighting of a silver metallic cylinder over a Southern California freeway and why the phenomenon may be capable of manipulating who does and doesn't see it. Plus: new details on Admiral Thomas Wilson's alleged legacy-program briefing to Dr. Eric Davis, why his national security oath may outlast any presidential order, and whether Soviet-era "underwater beings" have anything to do with modern USO (Unidentified Submerged Objects) sightings.Watch Unreported with Meagan Medick here: https://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PL6PrA6lo8rJKtTsTq9eAtpNdZzuyST-R-Ross' interviews with Brandon Fugal 2025: Skinwalker Ranch owner says former AARO Director Sean Kirkpatrick lied, shows proof | Reality Checkhttps://www.youtube.com/watch?v=NtilGOcNmgYRoss' interviews with Brandon Fugal 2024: Skinwalker Ranch, Oak Island curse and Kona Blue | Reality Checkhttps://www.youtube.com/watch?v=kNEJaw-ErksRoss' interview with Jacques Vallée Jacques Vallée: Project Blue Book, space travel and military secrecy | Reality Checkhttps://www.youtube.com/watch?v=RqptVKs7wbcReality Check: Underwater UFOs with Richard Dolan interview Reality Check with Ross Coulthart: Underwater UFOshttps://www.youtube.com/watch?v=IbvorziWMm8CHAPTER SUMMARY:0:00 Intro0:36 Reaction to Jesse Michael’s interview with Brandon Fugal5:50 Lack of reports from Brandon Fugal on Skinwalker Ranch8:24 Aaron Lukas’ role at the Office of the Director of National Intelligence11:50 Has the legacy program cracked time travel?17:39 Why does the phenomenon only reveal themselves to certain experiencers22:37 Was Admiral Thomas Wilson recruited to the legacy program?26:12 Is there a connection between mermaids and USOs?29:02 Final thoughtsCREDITS:Host: Ross CoulthartExecutive Producer: Andy GipsonEditorial Producer: Meagan MedickSegment Producer: Christine Jenkinson, 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.

    Object M: The buried Estonian mystery the KGB spent years trying to reach | Reality Check

    In this episode of "Reality Check," Ross Coulthart sits down with Estonian filmmaker and author Mart Sander, whose new book, "Object M: Estonia's Buried Mystery," traces one of the strangest and least understood cases in Europe. In 1969, a man drilling a well in the Tallinn suburb of Merivälja struck something solid roughly seven meters down, and the fragments he broke loose eventually reached Soviet laboratories that concluded the alloy could not have been produced on this planet.

    Sander walks Coulthart through the two decades of excavation that followed, the shafts sunk under the garden, the KGB files stamped top secret and the researchers who reported burns, blackouts and stranger effects the closer they got to whatever sits beneath the upper layer. He also lays out the counterarguments, from the meteorite explanation to the claim this is a forgotten first World War superalloy buried in a hurry, and explains why the physical evidence points in two directions more than a 100,000 years apart.

    What neither man can account for is why, years after the Soviets left Estonia, two strangers turned up at the homeowner's door with a suitcase of cash for a small suburban house that nobody had ever proven held anything at all.

Now, he is turning to viewers, answering their pressing questions each week.

    In this week's episode, Coulthart tackles the most requested question to date: What really happened to Skywatcher? The UAP research group founded by Jake Barber, James Fowler and investor Alex Klokus abruptly went dark. Coulthart addresses Skywatcher's mysterious disappearance from its Texas operations, the real story behind February's sudden FAA shutdown of El Paso's airspace and how a classified U.S. government operation is now allegedly using Skywatcher's own "dog whistle" and psionic summoning techniques to detect and shoot down anomalous craft.CREDITS:

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

    04/08/2026 | 41 mins.
    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.
