Official records confirm the DIA's UAP program was terminated for lack of merit, yet a private network of former contractors continued its work under informal arrangements and a succession of attempted institutional homes. The question the evidence raises: how much of what became public UAP disclosure was shaped by that persistent, partially-funded network rather than by independent government review?
Read full report →Ross Coulthart's recent NewsNation broadcasts have placed Elon Musk at the center of the UAP disclosure conversation while Congress stalls on the Disclosure Act — raising the question of whether the locus of power over UFO secrets has quietly shifted from Capitol Hill to Silicon Valley.
Newly released FOIA documents reveal that the U.S. government convened a classified, inaugural Five Eyes UAP intelligence-sharing caucus in May 2023 — but internal emails show the meeting's location was disputed days before it happened, key attendee names were scrubbed, and the entire email chain was shielded from public view under a deliberative-process exemption. The pattern raises a straightforward question: what decisions were being made, and by whom, that required that level of protection?
Three stories broke in rapid succession in June 2026 — a Washington priest removed over UFO comments, the Pentagon's latest batch of UAP files, and a UFO expert warning the public isn't ready for what's coming. The connections between them are thinner than the headlines suggest, but the pattern of who is talking, and who isn't, is worth examining.
Former intelligence officer David Grusch testified under oath that the US government has recovered non-human craft and biological material. The government's official posture flatly contradicts him — and neither side has produced primary documents to close the gap.
When the Pentagon began releasing declassified UFO files in 2026 under a Trump executive order, the documents that surfaced ranged from military sensor footage to a 60-year-old FBI surveillance memo about a man who claimed to receive shortwave radio transmissions from the head of a planet 400 light-years away — and the FBI took it seriously enough to route it to headquarters.
As the Department of War releases a second wave of UAP documents, a loosely connected web of military insiders, exopolitics researchers, and official strategy documents is shaping how those files are being interpreted — and by whom.
The Defense Department has now released at least two batches of previously classified UFO files under a Trump directive, drawing enormous public interest and pointed skepticism from lawmakers and disclosure advocates alike — but the actual content of those files remains poorly documented, and the contradictions surrounding what has been released, and why, are only deepening.
Ross Coulthart is predicting a carefully managed trickle of UFO footage from the Trump administration — while a disclosure advocate warns the whole exercise could backfire, and UAP analysts say the government is still not doing what it should.
Trump promised a 'very interesting' batch of UFO files, but the first wave of disclosures has drawn a split verdict: critics call it a 'nothing burger' while analysts argue the release serves the president's agenda more than the public's curiosity.
