South American adventure: Ross Coulthart explores Rapa Nui, aka Easter Island | Reality Check
Reality Check with Ross CoulthartShow Notes
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 week’s episode, we find Ross at the ancient site of Rapa Nui, also known as Easter Island. The Moai statues are some of the most impressive examples of early engineering, but that also leaves many unanswered questions. How did they move the 70-ton statues, what was their purpose and what happened to the people on Rapa Nui?

Ross Coulthart and Meagan Medick open with a “Reality Check” exclusive: NewsNation’s Nancy Loo sat down with NASA Administrator Jared Isaacman, who said the agency has already released all of its UAP data. Coulthart says that isn’t the case and he walks through the Apollo, Gemini and Skylab records he says are still unreleased.
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.
