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 alleged decadeslong U.S. Air Force disinformation campaign, Rep. Eric Burlison's confirmation of an alleged "luring and shoot-down" operation at White Sands Missile Range involving high-pulse microwave weapons, and why the national media has failed to press President Trump. Plus, Coulthart responds to a viewer question on alleged...

Something metallic turned up under a garden in a quiet Tallinn suburb in 1969, and the Soviets spent the next twenty years trying to get it out, bringing in excavators and scientists and military, borrowing the house from its owners and living in it, digging on and off until perestroika ended the whole effort and they walked away. Astrophysicist Dr. Beatriz Villarroel and Ocean X co-founder Dennis Åsberg went to that address to find out what is still down there. Nobody came to the door, but the neighbor who had watched all of it from his window talked to them f...

The UFO story is not just an American one. As a new era of drone war rages in Eastern Europe, strange sightings in the skies invite questions about an overlooked Cold War mystery in the same region. Archive records beg an urgent question: why did the Soviets seriously investigate an alleged crashed UFO behind the Iron Curtain, and why can't anyone close the case today? NewsNation takes you on the ground to Estonia with the scientists pushing for answers, and the man who claims to have a piece of the mysterious "Object M."

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...

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...

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 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...

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.

He recounts the sighting witnessed from...

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...
