Ross Coulthart breaks silence on Lue Elizondo backlash: 'I was surprised' | Reality Check
<p>In this episode of "Reality Check," Ross Coulthart and Meagan Medick tackle the fallout from Coulthart's recent comments about Lue Elizondo's past role in the legacy UAP program, addressing what he calls misreporting of his statements. Coulthart tackles questions about the Elizondo controversy and why whistleblowers remain silent despite NDAs, Michael Shermer's controversial appointment to the White House UAP Science Advisory Council and whether nonhuman intelligence shows any interest in human art, music and culture. </p><p><br></p><p>#LueElizondo #ChrisCuomo #RossCoulthart</p><p><br></p><p>CREDITS:</p><p>Host: Ross Coulthart</p><p>Executive Producer: Andy Gipson</p><p>Editorial Producer: Meagan Medick</p><p>Segment Producer: Christine Jenkinson, Will Tomasi</p><p>Research Producer: Rob Jones</p><p>Editor: Anthony Diasio</p><p><br></p><p>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. </p><p><br></p><p>More Reality Check: https://www.newsnationnow.com/podcasts-newsnation/reality-check-with-ross-coulthart/ </p><p><br></p><p>Email your questions to RealityCheck@NewsNationNow.com </p><p><br></p><p>NewsNation is your source for fact-based, unbiased news for all Americans. </p><p>More from NewsNation: https://www.newsnationnow.com/ </p><p>Get our app: https://trib.al/TBXgYpp </p><p>Find us on your screen: https://www.joinnn.com/</p><p><br></p><p>CHAPTERS:</p><p>:00 Intro</p><p>1:15 Ross reacts to Elizondo’s comments</p><p>8:14 Why whistleblowers need protections</p><p>12:15 Michael Shermer on the UAP Science Advisory Council</p><p>15:21 Are NHI interested in human culture?</p><p>19:11 Are UAPs using radio frequencies?</p><p>22:01 Final thoughts</p>

Rep. Eric Burlison on UAP material he saw inside SCIF and files he's forcing open | Reality Check
<p>In this episode of "Reality Check," Ross Coulthart sits down with Rep. Eric Burlison, the Missouri Republican and UAP Caucus member who has become one of the most active voices in Congress pressing the federal government to come clean on the phenomenon. Burlison describes the material he was shown inside an SCIF, footage and imagery that remain closed to the public, and recounts watching plasma-like orbs move with an intelligence and instantaneous acceleration the intelligence community itself cannot explain but speculate to be the same objects FBI field agents reported seeing when they responded to sightings at residential locations and a western military facility last December.</p><p><br></p><p>The conversation turns to the machinery of secrecy, with Burlison arguing the Manhattan Project taught the government how to bury a program inside federally funded research centers, and detailing the interrogatories he has sent to MITRE, MIT Lincoln Laboratory, the CIA and the FBI, including a reel-to-reel recording of a U.S. Air Force general questioning MIT scientists about the 1952 Washington flyover that Lincoln Laboratory is now in the process of declassifying. Coulthart and Burlison weigh whether an 82-year-old secret can hold, why declassification never happens on its own and what it would mean for a congressman of deep faith to confront the ontological shock of disclosure. Burlison does not hedge on the stakes, telling Ross that revealing what is behind this would be the greatest revelation since Jesus Christ and offering his read on whether the Trump White House intends to deliver it.</p><p><br></p><p>#UAPCaucus #UAP #disclosure</p><p><br></p><p>CREDITS:</p><p>Host: Ross Coulthart</p><p>Executive Producer: Andy Gipson</p><p>Editorial Producer: Meagan Ourada</p><p>Segment Producer: Christine Jenkinson</p><p>Associate Producer: Will Tomasi</p><p>Research Producer: Rob Jones</p><p>Editor: Kanyon Lyons</p><p><br></p><p>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. </p><p><br></p><p>More Reality Check: https://www.newsnationnow.com/podcasts-newsnation/reality-check-with-ross-coulthart/ </p><p><br></p><p>Email your questions to RealityCheck@NewsNationNow.com </p><p><br></p><p>NewsNation is your source for fact-based, unbiased news for all Americans. </p><p>More from NewsNation: https://www.newsnationnow.com/ </p><p>Get our app: https://trib.al/TBXgYpp </p><p>Find us on your screen: https://www.joinnn.com/</p><p><br></p><p>CHAPTERS</p><p>:00 Intro</p><p>0:29 Going Around the Mainstream Media to Reach the Voters</p><p>1:21 The Witnesses Who Came Forward, and Why They Deserve an Investigation</p><p>1:45 What Draws Burlison to UAP, and the Skeptics Coming Around</p><p>2:57 Inside the SCIF, the Material the Public Still Can't See</p><p>3:43 What Burlison Was Shown, and How It Defies Conventional Flight</p><p>5:13 When the FBI Responded, They Saw the Orbs Too</p><p>5:54 Two Generals on 60 Minutes, and the Drones No One Could Identify</p><p>7:01 "Does This Government Belong to the People?"
