In this week's episode of "Reality Check," Ross Coulthart joins Meagan Medick from Toronto, where he's attending the Scientific Coalition for UAP Studies' annual conference. Coulthart breaks down President Trump's directive waiving prior NDAs for legacy program witnesses and why Rep. Eric Burlison’s pending legislation, not the president's statement, is the real key to disclosure.

He tackles questions about Rep. Anna Paulina Luna's request for 46 classified UAP files, whether the new UAP governance body and science advisory board are just bureaucratic stalling tactics and the status of "the portal" investigation.

In this episode of "Reality Check," Ross Coulthart sits down with Dr. Phil McGraw, the psychologist and television host the White House invited to review the latest tranche of UFO files before it reached the public. Dr. Phil explains why an administration weighing disclosure went looking for a trusted voice rather than an astrophysicist, and what changed his mind once he started reading the government's own words: from Lt. General Nathan Twining's 1947 assessment that the phenomenon was something real and not visionary, to the 1949 classified conference at Los Alamos convened over sightings above America's nuclear weapons sites, to the CIA's Robertson Panel strategy of publicizing cases already debunked and saying nothing about the ones that weren't, to the JANAP directives that put military and commercial pilots under threat of prison, heavy fines and the Espionage Act for describing what they saw.

He tells Coulthart the imagery released so far is intentionally grainy, that far better gun camera video and radar tracks exist and that Reps. Tim Burchett and Anna Paulina Luna are helping him press for their release. Drawing on close to 50 years of sitting with people through the worst losses a person can absorb, Dr. Phil rejects the argument that Americans are too fragile to be told, calling it a patronizing view, while arguing the government owes real support to the people who will struggle with it. Two things he says he will state with confidence to the American public: There has been a huge cover-up and there are things in our atmosphere we cannot explain and did not build.

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 tackles questions about the "Mars face" anomaly, allegations that officials with the Office of the Director of National Intelligence retaliated against whistleblowers and Jacques Vallée's claims about a submarine-launched drone during the 2004 Nimitz "Tic-Tac" encounter. Coulthart also breaks down how he vets sources inside the alleged legacy program and unpacks President Trump's comments about a secretive "discombobulator" weapon used during the operation that captured Nicolás Maduro.

In this episode of "Reality Check," Ross Coulthart sits down with theoretical physicist and philosopher of physics Maaneli Derakhshani for a long look at the anomalous features cataloged across the moon, Phobos and the surface of Mars. The conversation opens with Lue Elizondo's remarks on lunar anomalies, then works outward to the Phobos 2 spacecraft and the object NASA's own mission literature once described as a monolith along with the reason SETI took that object seriously enough to study.

From there, Max walks Ross through the imagery that has drawn the most attention on Mars, from the so-called glass worm to the rectilinear formations near the Atlantis basin, applying the same fractal analysis that NASA and the Department of Defense use to separate natural terrain from engineered structures. Grounding the discussion in Carl Sagan's own standards for searching for evidence of past life, Max makes the case that some of these features deserve to be treated as genuine open questions rather than tricks of light and shadow.

Also featured in this episode is the work of Jean Ward, Independent Mars Researcher, a colleague of Dr. Derakhshani's whose work can be found at https://www.youtube.com/jeanward and https://megalithicmars.com/

Ross Coulthart and Meagan Medick (@producermeagan) answer your questions each week on the "Reality Check Q&A." This week, they respond to Lue Elizondo's claims that NASA knows more about the UFO mystery than they are letting on. As new astronaut UFO files release, and ahead of another Reality Check deep-dive into lunar anomalies with Max Derakshani, what is the latest on a new investigation into the agency?

Ross Coulthart also reveals new reporting on secret American bases in Antarctica: Could they be tied to a visit by former Secretary of State and presidential candidate John Kerry? Also in the show: What has Ross heard about a longer version of the famous Gimbal UFO video? Plus, Ross revisits his trips to Egypt and Peru to share why he is not yet convinced ancient alien tech played a part, though he admits ancient humans knew something we don't understand today. Finally, Meagan's dog Owen makes a special appearance!
