Reality Check with Ross Coulthart is an interview dated 2026-08-11 in which Ross Coulthart answers questions about Unidentified Aerial Phenomena (UAP), disclosure and alleged government-held information. He discussed remarks attributed to Donald Trump during the 2026-08-11 cabinet meeting, including the release of information concerning extraterrestrial matters.1 Coulthart distinguished that political announcement from evidential claims: he said that material released through the war.gov UFO files website did not constitute evidence of extraterrestrials,2 while describing the wider release and declassification initiative as a positive sign.3
The programme also records Coulthart’s treatment of contested claims. He said he had no view on the truth of allegations that the Central Intelligence Agency (CIA) screened consumer DNA databases for markers associated with Nordic aliens, beyond stating that the claims were disputed.4 He nevertheless said he strongly suspected that some technology had been developed from acquired non-human technology, and described zero-point energy as energy drawn from the quantum vacuum.5 Coulthart further said he had been told that the US government held unreleased, high-resolution imagery, including footage associated with a Boeing B-52 Stratofortress.6 These passages matter because the source places personal judgement, second-hand testimony and unresolved allegations alongside discussion of public records and disclosure policy.
A substantial section concerns The Red Book, The Yellow Book and Project Serpo. Coulthart said the two books were not verified as real,7 then summarised Project Serpo materials alleging that The Yellow Book was supplied to the US government by beings from Zeta Reticuli.8 He also stated that there was no verifiable evidence supporting those materials.9 The interview closes its evidential thread with Coulthart’s account of Nat Kobitz, who reportedly told him that the United States had recovered multiple non-human craft10 and described an unusual atomic-level bond between metals examined at Wright-Patterson Air Force Base.11 The source is therefore significant as a record of how contemporary UAP claims are presented, qualified and connected to disclosure debates.
