Steven Spielberg on alien life: 'Yes, I believe it's true' | Reality Check with Ross Coulthart

from Reality Check with Ross Coulthart · host Ross Coulthart

As the world packs theatres to watch Steven Spielberg's newest UFO film, real-world disclosure is happening in real time. NewsNation and Ross Coulthart have been at the forefront of driving that conversation with history-making whistleblower interviews. In this TV special, Ross brings us a cinematic, investigative journey through the history of UFO disclosure: from ancient sightings and Roswell to modern whistleblowers, congressional hearings, declassified files and Hollywood’s fascination with the phenomenon. Including new interviews with Steven Spielberg, Colman Domingo, Emily Blunt and screenwriter David Koepp, the show also includes a behind-the-scenes look at the making of the movie from a NewsNation reporter who makes a cameo. Ross also shares some behind-the-scenes footage from his landmark interviews, including David Grusch, Lue Elizondo and Jake Barber. Brian Entin also visits Area 51, staking out the legendary place at night. Plus: George Knapp details his famous interview with Bob Lazar.WATCH THE FULL INTERVIEWS HEREDavid Grusch interview: https://youtu.be/RBAISwCZ2v0?si=CErGNdOPZnok4smqDavid Grusch testimony: https://youtu.be/vUnKRknLVSA?si=xer2U6oblGKiWD6bLue Elizondo: https://youtu.be/wgM5V44eQHU?si=P-feVLD6yQU3BOdRJake Barber: https://youtu.be/t37-SKj4rtY?si=Hxy5YuWq7JcwCUXCJake Barber TV Special: https://youtu.be/3dtA9w5ldHw?si=jqdxt7R13ZnHJk0JGeorge Knapp & Brian Entin: https://youtu.be/hD7uPnXQDSo?si=VuR4tBQI5bpSQ-TVNew Jersey Drone Swarm: https://youtu.be/sucrnlxq8CA?si=i4mgQSCsbDHb06HCPhoenix Lights/Desert UFO Special: https://youtu.be/-KKlsOpZhM4?si=f8FPO1WXFkDbQAdhWatch Ross every week on Reality Checkhttps://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PL6PrA6lo8rJLRExhMvX6wKyNzy0hr_QM3And don't miss Unreported with Meagan Medickhttps://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PL6PrA6lo8rJKtTsTq9eAtpNdZzuyST-R-#DisclosureDay #UAPs #whistleblowersCREDITSHost: Ross CoulthartExecutive Producer: Andy GipsonEditorial Producer: Meagan MedickAssociate Producers: Will Tomasi, Christine Jenkinson, Mekhi RhodesEditors: Kanyon Lyons, John NockPhotographer: Augustin ‘Gus’ ChauvetDesigner: Doug HowellAdditional footage provided by: Getty, Associated PressOn "Reality Check," NewsNation Special Correspondent Ross Coulthart takes a fact-based approach to tackle everything from unidentified aerial phenomena (UAPs) to mysteries often missing from the headlines.
