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 reacts to David Grusch's bombshell press conference on the Capitol steps, the multiple types of nonhuman intelligence Grusch described on the record and the growing push for tougher whistleblower protections inside Congress.

Coulthart answers questions about the billions of dollars of concealed defense slush funds that could give Congress its constitutional foothold, and why the White House's engagement with UAP disclosure may signal a turning point. Plus, Ross shares his reaction to attending the premiere of Steven Spielberg's "Disclosure Day."

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.
