## Resource

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.
