In this episode of "Reality Check," Ross Coulthart sits down with Mike Morgan, a former senior investigating officer with 30 years in British policing and the author of "The Silence is Deafening," and Liberty, a plane spotter who lives near Royal Air Force Lakenheath. The conversation centers on the objects reported over Lakenheath, Mildenhall, Feltwell and Fairford in November 2024, which officials called drones without naming an operator or releasing a single photograph.

Morgan explains what his Freedom of Information requests turned up, from a police helicopter's near-miss report to an investigation staffed by part-time officers who, by his account, made no inquiries of local drone operators. Coulthart presses both men on the case for Russian or Chinese involvement and on why bases associated with nuclear weapons might draw that kind of attention. Liberty describes the silent craft that crossed his field the day before the incursions began and the radio call he says he heard from one of the pilots sent up to chase them.

Ross Coulthart explores mysterious untold stories using a fact-based approach to address various topics, from unidentified aerial phenomena to other mysteries that often go unreported. Now, he is turning to viewers, answering their pressing questions each week.

In this week's episode, Coulthart tackles questions about Avi Loeb’s plan to deploy scientific sensors at orb hotspots, starting with White Sands, and why he believes the White House is working around the legacy program’s cover-up. He explains why older UAP accounts describe gears and shafts while modern ones don’t and why Europe’s UAP hotspots include Greece. Plus, he gives his take on Jake Barber’s new mothership video and the Cold War-era nuclear explosions that may have brought down a UAP.

In this episode of "Reality Check," Ross Coulthart sits down with Jeffrey J. Kripal, the J. Newton Rayzor Chair in Philosophy and Religious Thought at Rice University and host of the new six-part series "Archive X: Unexplained Phenomena." Kripal oversees Rice's Center for the Impossible, formerly the Archives of the Impossible, a collection that holds the papers of John Mack and Jacques Vallée among more than a million items on telepathy, near-death experience, abduction and precognition.

The conversation opens with the nonverbal autistic children of the series' first episode and the place they call the hill. Then, moves to the abduction account of Karin Austin, the artist Andrew Paquette's dreams of disasters that later happened and Kripal's argument that the brain is a receiver of consciousness rather than its producer. Coulthart puts the harder questions to Kripal, including why a nonhuman intelligence would block a witness's memory, whether a future human civilization is behind the encounters and what to make of Christian arguments that the phenomenon is demonic. Kripal's answer runs through all of it, that these experiences cluster around trauma and love, that they have happened for millennia and that the task is to listen before reducing them to any worldview.
