“[note: Ross Coulthart - Veteran Australian reporter turned leading disclosure journalist]”

“Ross Coulthard has been on a year-long investigation. Along the way, recording every moment, every revelation in a book and on camera.”

“What the school children and teachers saw became known as the Westall school incident, and it remains Australia's, and one of the world's, most witnessed unexplained UAP sighting.”

“When, at my request, a flier was sent out to Westall witnesses, inviting them to attend the 55th anniversary of the 1966 event in April 2021 and be interviewed by this author”

“He told me that in the wake of the Westall incident his father had investigated the event and written a secret report about it for the Department”

“that in the days after the mass sighting 'a black Humber car arrived at our family home from the Department early every morning to take him back out each day to the school'.”

“Not one document on the Westall incident has ever surfaced from any government archives, despite strenuous efforts by several researchers.”

“Knowing the credibility and integrity of my source, I am in absolutely no doubt a report was written.”

“Ryan is a dogged investigator who works in his day job at Australia's Parliament House in Canberra.”

“Researcher Shane Ryan told me he has interviewed an extraordinary tally of 122 witnesses who clearly saw a 'flying saucer' at Westall.”

“Under the watchful eye of the town's flightless guards, Ross Coulthart has arrived here to investigate the strange activities of something that's been flying above Exmouth. Down Under's very own Roswell.”

“It literally came and hovered next to the car as it was driving along at 100 kilometres an hour.”

“And those police officers and her were cross-examined, interrogated by American people in the base in the days following the incident.”

“I'm in no doubt whatsoever that it was a secret investigation by the Americans into what Annie says that she saw. And they didn't want her to talk about it.”

“I think her story has been consistent all the way through. She's got excellent recall. She's somebody who's got a very sturdy reputation in the jobs that she's done inside the WA Public Service. Nobody can lay a glove on her, I think, in terms of credibility.”

“But there is an anomaly that has been identified and witnessed by numerous people. And I know, because I've seen the files, it has also been seen on multiple occasions by people in our Defence Department.”

“When we tried to go there and film around the base, the Defence Department kicked us off.”

“In fact, I think we had to pull back to a hill which was about 10 kilometres distant.”

“This went way beyond Project Blue Book, which appears to have been largely for public show.”

“But this was a blatant deceit.”

“they established allegedly Majestic 12 as the group responsible for the retrieval of non-human craft.”

“He has researched UAPs for over 50 years”

“John is the author of the 2026 book just out, Not For Disclosure, UFOs, the world's best kept secret”

“You've looked at the typography, the printing, the format, the watermarks, the terminology used, the corroboration from other diaries.”

“I understand, for example, Truman and Eisenhower's diaries had useful information to help you corroborate.”

“I mean, no doubt whatsoever that they are authentic.”

“I'm yet to be convinced fully that there's not ... the possibility that there might have been deliberate disinformation planted in some of the subsequent MJ-12 documents.”

“the provenance of which is still, of course, disputed officially by the FBI and the US military.”

“you were reached out to by a former commanding general of Wright-Patterson Air Force Base, where the Roswell wreckage was allegedly taken”

“One of these friends was John Audette, the co-founder of Mitchell's Quantrek research organisation, who responded in detail to my inquiry about this meeting. 'Yes, Ed shared with me details about the Admiral Wilson meeting,' Audette tells me.”

“David Grusch is a whistleblower who goes much further. He's come from inside the Defense Department, the intelligence community”

“he revealed the existence of a legacy UFO non-human technology retrieval and reverse engineering program.”

“He was in a cabinet conference, cabinet meeting, and with Marco Rubio on one side and Pete Hegseth on the other.”

“The president said, we're releasing a lot of information having to do with extraterrestrial, terrestrial things. And people are totally fascinated by it.”

“Mr. Trump said, President Trump said, it's literally trending number one. Can you believe it?”

“I don't think we should take that necessarily as an acceptance by the president that what they've released to date in the war.gov website UFOs site is evidence of extraterrestrials because, frankly, it isn't.”

“it is a positive sign, and it's to be applauded that the president has shown such initiative on releasing and declassifying UAP files that, frankly, when you look at them, there's absolutely no reason, it's quite clear now, there's no reason why they couldn't have been released a lot earlier than today.”

“he said that a retired Army remote viewer named Lynn Buchanan who was part of the old Stargate psychic spying program, told him the CIA has backdoor access to consumer DNA databases like Ancestry.com and 23andMe.”

“And what they're doing, supposedly, is screening for genetic markers, particularly for those pesky Nordic beings, alien beings that allegedly reside here on the planet with us.”

“Dr. Paul Smith, a former major in the US Army, who was one of the principals of the US Army Stargate program.”

“Quote, having been in Stargate myself for seven years and having been on orders as the official unit historian, I am comfortable in saying that this story is, to put it mildly, balderdash. If you want details, I'm happy to supply them.”

“And frankly, I really have no idea about the veracity of these claims. What I can tell you is that they are disputed.”

“His experiences with the beings he calls the visitors”

“his book, Communion, where he wrote about being taken by non-human sentient beings was a huge New York Times bestseller”

“have made him a controversial and leading figure in the study of alleged experiencer close encounters”

“I went to a conference last year in Barcelona”

“the number of consciousness scientists, notably people like Stuart Hameroff, Roger Penrose, who were talking about non-local consciousness and the idea that the human brain, it's more of an attenuator, a transmitter, a receiver than it is a computer”

“I think Steven Spielberg has a long and illustrious history in covering the issue of non-human intelligence, I think, in an intelligent and provocative way.”

“one thing I do take issue with, I guess, is he's consistently portrayed the beings as always benevolent, never a threat.”
