## Resource

In this episode of Reality Check, Ross Coulthart sits down with Bryce Zabel and Brent Friedman, the co-creators of Dark Skies and the new investigative podcast Sound, Light and Frequency, to explore the alleged hidden relationship between Hollywood, the Pentagon, Naval Intelligence, the CIA, UFOs, UAPs, and government secrecy.Bryce and Brent recount a remarkable story: after launching Dark Skies in 1996, they say they were approached by a man claiming to be from Office of Naval Intelligence, who suggested they had “gotten a lot right” and wanted to help shape what went into the show. They also revisit the mysterious piece of paper said to contain the “secret of the universe.” GUESTS: Bryce Zabel, Host, 'Sound, Light & Frequency' Brent Friedman, Host, 'Sound, Light & Frequency' CREDITS : Host: Ross Coulthart Executive Producer: Andy Gipson Editorial Producer: Meagan Medick Segment Producer: Christine Jenkinson Associate Producer: Will Tomasi Editor: Allen Keefner SOCIALS: ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠https://www.instagram.com/realitychecknn/⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠ ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠https://www.instagram.com/newsnationnow/⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠ ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠https://x.com/rosscoulthart⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠ ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠https://x.com/NewsNation⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠ ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠https://www.tiktok.com/@realitychecknn⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠ ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠https://www.tiktok.com/@newsnationnow⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠ On "Reality Check," NewsNation Special Correspondent Ross Coulthart takes a fact-based approach to tackle everything from unidentified aerial phenomena (UAPs) to mysteries often missing from the headlines.
