Ross Coulthart explores untold stories using a fact-based approach to address various topics, including unidentified aerial phenomena and other mysteries that often go unreported. Now, he is turning to viewers, answering their pressing questions each week. In this week's episode, Coulthart tackles questions about whether the recent UAP document release was a psyop, if disclosure is being exploited and if there is a nonhuman "galactic federation." Coulthart also calls out the CIA for lying to Congress, saying it’s time for Congress to assemble a modern-day “Church Commission.” #cia #uap #nonhumanintelligence Credits: Host: Ross Coulthart Executive Producer: Andy Gipson Editorial Producer: Meagan Medick Segment Producer: Christine Jenkinson Associate Producer: Will Tomasi Research Producer: Rob Jones Editor: Anthony Diasio 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.
