  • Ross is the man

    I appreciate Ross Coulthart’s commitment to disclosure. I just don’t understand why he feels republicans are going to be the ones to release the truth when it was the five republicans that blocked the full UAP disclosure act: Mitch McConnell, Mike Johnson,Roger Wicker,Mike Turner and Mike Rogers; all Republicans.

Talking Points

Recent interactions between the hosts and their guests.

David Grusch: Americans killed by reptilian beings at crash site | Reality Check
Q: Is there any verification of the reptilian crash-site claim?
The hosts note the claim as described by Grusch is hearsay or secondhand from colleagues, and emphasize the lack of public, independent verification.
David Grusch: Americans killed by reptilian beings at crash site | Reality Check
Q: What did Grusch say about the structure of the legacy program and why is it kept secret?
Grusch indicated that there are existing unacknowledged special access programs with benign titles, which hide the true purpose and scale of UAP-related activities, making disclosure difficult.
US just deployed space weapons — here's what we know | Reality Check
Q: What are your thoughts on the claim that the US has space control weapons on orbit?
The hosts acknowledge the nuance in the official wording, emphasizing that the statement refers to on-orbit capability and deterrence rather than explicit deployment of aggressive kinetic weapons, and they stress that non-kinetic systems could be used to deter without creating space debris risks.
'Something is observing us': Man tracks every flyover at America's nuclear plants | Reality Check
Q: What changes does he advocate to improve security?
He advocates mandatory reporting of all suspicious aerial activity, deployment of detection technology (RF, radar, cameras), standardized guidance to distinguish UAPs from drones, and eventually regulatory backing including potential counter-UAS capabilities for authorized authorities.
'Something is observing us': Man tracks every flyover at America's nuclear plants | Reality Check
Q: What is the current threat level to nuclear power plants from aerial incursions?
The guest describes a growing and potentially escalating threat, with drones and unidentified objects flying over plants, especially at night, often without sufficient data to determine intent, which implies a significant risk that regulators and operators have not yet adequately mitigated.
