When it comes to the modern conversation around UAPs (Unidentified Aerial Phenomena) and government secrecy, few journalists have made as big a splash as Ross Coulthart. An award-winning investigative reporter with a sharp eye for uncovering hidden truths, Coulthart has become a central figure in the global push for transparency about UFOs.
Known for his fearless reporting and clear-eyed skepticism, Coulthart has worked for major outlets like Australia's "60 Minutes" and is now making waves through his work with NewsNation in the United States. His investigations aren’t about chasing lights in the sky—they're about following the paper trails, the whistleblowers, and the insiders who suggest that humanity may be standing on the brink of a profound cosmic revelation.
Coulthart’s Background: From Traditional Journalism to Cosmic Mysteries
Before diving headfirst into the world of non-human intelligences and potential extraterrestrial technology, Ross Coulthart spent decades exposing corruption, government cover-ups, and corporate misconduct. His experience gave him a unique skill set: an ability to separate fact from fiction, and real sources from conspiracy theories.
His credibility is one of the reasons why his pivot to covering UAPs was so surprising—and so powerful. When someone with Coulthart’s pedigree starts asking questions about secret crash retrieval programs and alien craft reverse-engineering, it becomes a lot harder for the mainstream media to ignore the subject.
"In Plain Sight" and the New Era of Disclosure
In 2021, Coulthart released his groundbreaking book "In Plain Sight: An Investigation into UFOs and Impossible Science." The book quickly became a bestseller and is widely regarded as one of the most credible, journalistically rigorous explorations of the UFO mystery to date.
In it, Coulthart makes a compelling case that governments, particularly the U.S. government, have known far more about UAPs for decades than they’ve admitted. He interviews military officials, intelligence officers, and scientists—some speaking on the record, others anonymously—who hint at secret programs to study recovered "non-human" craft.
Key takeaways from "In Plain Sight" include:
The possibility of crash retrieval operations involving non-human technology
Ongoing secrecy and compartmentalization within military and intelligence agencies
A call for public accountability and full disclosure about the phenomenon
Ross Coulthart on NewsNation: A Platform for Truth
In recent years, Coulthart has become a fixture on NewsNation, one of the few major U.S. networks willing to take the UAP issue seriously. His interviews with whistleblowers like David Grusch—a former intelligence official who claimed knowledge of secret crash retrieval programs—have been headline-grabbing and historic.
Through NewsNation, Coulthart provides a platform for credible witnesses to speak without the mockery or dismissal that used to plague the topic. His interviews are notable for their seriousness, depth, and the respectful tone he maintains, even when discussing the most mind-bending claims.
Why Coulthart Matters
Ross Coulthart’s work matters because he bridges two worlds: the skeptical, evidence-demanding world of traditional investigative journalism and the mind-expanding possibilities of contact with non-human intelligences.
He’s not pushing a narrative of "little green men"—he’s demanding answers, accountability, and scientific investigation into one of the most profound mysteries facing humanity.
At a time when public trust in institutions is low, and the need for credible journalism is higher than ever, Coulthart’s work reminds us that the pursuit of truth—even when it challenges everything we think we know—is the highest calling of journalism.
