Investigative journalist and podcast host Ross Coulthart says the United States government is 'suddenly waking up' to the 'reality' of UFOs. 'Tulsi Gabbard is saying what a huge number of US officials have been saying for the past few years, there's a huge sea change happening in American executive government,' Mr Coulthart told Sky News host Sharri Markson.

Explosive new claims around iconic 'Tic Tac' UFO reveal shocking secrets
Fresh claims about the infamous 2004 'Tic Tac' UFO encounter are reigniting fierce debate over the true nature of the mysterious craft observed by US Navy pilots off the coast of Southern California. Journalist and UFO investigator Ross Coulthart has sparked controversy by asserting that the craft, captured on video and later released by the Pentagon, is actually advanced man-made technology developed by aerospace giant Lockheed Martin. Coulthart suggested the craft may have been operated psionically, controlled through advanced mental or neurological means, and could be the product of reverse-engineering non-human technology recovered by the US government. However, leading experts in the field of unexplained aerial phenomena (UAP) rejected this explanation. UFO researcher Mark Christopher Lee argued that the Tic Tac's silent propulsion, instantaneous acceleration, and lack of visible lift mechanisms closely match sightings of similar craft documented centuries before modern aviation, making it unlikely to be current military tech. 'There have been documented sightings of the same type of craft even before the technological age,' Lee told the Daily Mail. 'This continuity suggests an intelligent, non-human presence operating beyond our understanding.' The 2004 i ncident remains one of the most well-known UFO encounters in recent history. During training exercises, Navy pilots aboard the USS Nimitz tracked multiple unidentified objects descending from 80,000 feet in under a second. Cmdr. David Fravor described a white, capsule-shaped craft, the now-iconic Tic Tac, which appeared to respond intelligently to their maneuvers before rapidly accelerating out of sight. Coulthart, who has long investigated UAP secrecy, suggested the encounter was part of a covert military program rather than an alien visitation. 'I now know categorically that the Tic Tac is Lockheed Martin technology,' he claimed, adding that multiple similar craft were spotted over several days, possibly indicating advanced tests of this classified technology. Yet Lee suspected such claims are deliberate misdirection aimed at hiding the true extraterrestrial origins of these crafts. He noted historical records, including the 1561 Nuremberg 'cylindrical flying objects' and the 1890s US 'airship wave,' as evidence of long-standing unexplained aerial phenomena beyond human capabilities. 'There is a strong chance that what we are seeing is beyond human technology, and attempts to explain it as secret military hardware serve only to distract the public,' Lee said. Some experts, like Dr Ajaz Ali from Ravensbourne University, caution that many UFO sightings stem from advanced but earthly technology. Cold War-era reconnaissance missions by the US and Soviet Union, such as U-2 spy plane flights, and modern drone developments have often been mistaken for extraterrestrial craft. 'The shapes and behaviors of modern drones and spy aircraft closely mimic those reported in UFO encounters,' Ali said, noting that declassified documents have linked covert aerial operations to the rise of UFO lore. Despite decades of investigation, the true identity of the Tic Tac craft remains a mystery, fueling an ongoing clash between believers in secret military tech and advocates of alien visitation theories. 'It's possible we'll never fully understand this intelligence,' Lee concluded. 'It may be far beyond anything we currently comprehend.' However, the mystery of the Tic Tac remains unsolved, leaving both believers in extraterrestrial intelligence and advocates of secret military technology debating what exactly is flying above our heads. 'It's conceivable that it was being operated neuro-meditatively, psionically, by a human psionic,' Coulthart said. 'It makes no scientific sense to me that the Tic Tac UFO is Lockheed Martin technology,' Lee told the Daily Mail. 'There have been many documented sightings throughout history of the same type of craft, even before the technological age. 'These sightings are well-documented. There was definitely something technological in their skies, but it wasn't ours. 'What it is or where it comes from, I do not know. That is the question we are all trying to answer.' Lee agreed that there may be attempts to reverse-engineer alien technology and suspects that the reporting around the Tic Tac sighting is intended to divert attention from this. He claimed efforts to portray such craft as secret military technology are designed to prevent the public from realizing that aliens regularly visit Earth. 'I suspect the US military is diverting us away from what they actually know about this technology, which is most likely extraterrestrial in origin,' he said. 'However, I'm also sure that reverse engineering programs are ongoing—this has been confirmed to me by a senior intelligence contact in the UK military, though with limited success.' 'There are a lot of so-called UFO experts making wild claims, all wanting to be the messiah who brings us the truth, but the reality is we do not know, and maybe never will fully understand what this intelligence is. It may be far beyond anything we can comprehend.'

Report of possible life on remote planet a ‘big deal': Journalist
(NewsNation) — News that scientists have found potential evidence of life on a faraway planet is exciting but shouldn't be taken as a certainty, says investigative journalist and podcaster Ross Coulthart, who studies UFOs and claims of alien visitations. Scientists at the University of Cambridge say they have detected what could be chemical signs of life on a planet known as K2-18b, which is 124 light-years away from Earth. They say they came to their conclusion by analyzing data from the James Webb Space Telescope. Specifically, the researchers say dimethyl sulfide and dimethyl disulfide appears to be present in the atmosphere of K2-18b, which orbits a star. The compounds are produced primarily by microbial life, such as marine phytoplankton, on Earth. Boots on Mars by 2029? Futurist says Musk plan is doable Coulthart is among the observers who find the information encouraging — but well short of a firm conclusion. 'It's a big deal, but it's still very, very tentative,' Coulthart told 'NewsNation Prime' on Sunday. 'There are doubters and debunkers.' Still, he said, it's notable that scientists can interpret data generated by the Webb Telescope. 'I really do think we are on the cusp of finding planets that are habitable for life,' Coulthart said. As for getting closer to confirm whether K2-18b has life, that's not realistic, he said. 'There's no way we can send a robotic drone there because it would take billions of lifetimes to get there,' Coulthart said. 'There's no really solid way of proving it, beyond doing more accurate measurements of the wavelengths of light.' The Associated Press contributed to this report. Copyright 2025 Nexstar Media, Inc.
