Reality Check with Ross Coulthart

Show Notes

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.

In this episode of "Reality Check," Ross Coulthart sits down with astrophysicist Dr. Beatriz Villarroel, founder of the VASCO project at Nordita in Stockholm, and Vanderbilt's Dr. Stephen Bruehl, whose new paper suggests something in near-Earth space was flashing sunlight onto the photographic plates at Palomar Observatory years before Sputnik ever reached orbit. Projected back down to the ground, those flashes don't scatter at random. They cluster over some very familiar places, including the Pacific off Southern Mexico near where the Nimitz Tic-Tac encounter took place in 2004, the southern Gulf of Mexico off Tampico and the American Southwest around Sedona and White Sands Missile Range.
