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 of "Reality Check," Coulthart tackles questions about why he believes "catastrophic disclosure" may be inevitable, the science behind the wormholes in “Interstellar" following newly declassified Pentagon documents and the U.S. Space Force's surprise announcement that it deployed weapons to space. He also shares an Australian soldier's previously unreported UAP sighting from Afghanistan and dives into meditation, near-death experiences and consciousness research. Ross is also joined by a listener, who provides a deep dive into Steven Spielberg's father and uncle, who allegedly worked at Wright Field during the Roswell wreckage recovery and raises the question of whether Spielberg's films are a form of soft disclosure.
