Ross Coulthart in the US Capitol: The disclosure lawmakers | Reality Check
"The one I saw personally, with two other witnesses on Vandenberg Air Force Base, it was a giant opaque glowing orb of light, like the size of a house. Was it solid? It appeared to be solid. We could see the curve of it. We watched it come down from high altitude."
Military police officer Jeff described encountering a house-sized solid plasma orb during one of over a dozen UFO incursions at Vandenberg Air Force Base coinciding with national missile defense launches. The encounters occurred over multiple months and years starting in 2003, with each incident investigated and reported to higher headquarters, though the witness believes extensive camera footage from the base remains classified.

About this episode

NewsNation host Megan Medick and Australian investigative journalist Ross Coulthart broadcast Reality Check from the Capitol Disclosure Forum in Washington, D.C., conducting exclusive interviews with multiple members of Congress and a military whistleblower about UAP disclosure efforts. The most significant revelation came from Representative Anna Paulina Luna, chair of the congressional UAP task force, who confirmed that Deputy Chief of Staff Stephen Miller is offering full amnesty to whistleblowers willing to provide credible information about alleged crash retrieval programs, biologics, or classified UAP materials held by defense contractors including Northrop Grumman, Raytheon, Lockheed Martin, and Boeing. Luna separately disclosed that the CIA discovered new MKUltra documents during JFK file reviews, describing the program as a slush fund for multiple classified projects, with a congressional report due November 2025. Former Air Force security officer Jeff detailed over a dozen UFO encounters at Vandenberg Air Force Base during 2003 national missile defense launches, including a house-sized plasma orb witnessed by multiple military police. He reported receiving threats and experiencing a home break-in with intimidating messages before his congressional testimony. Representatives Andre Carson and Tim Burchett emphasized the bipartisan, bicameral nature of UAP investigations, with Carson noting Senate regret over not acting sooner. Both Coulthart and congressional members expressed cautious optimism about Trump administration disclosure intentions while acknowledging Chinese and Russian technology theft concerns. The episode captured a pivotal moment in UAP policy, with lawmakers, journalists, and potential whistleblowers gathering in the historic Kennedy Caucus Room where Watergate and Iran-Contra hearings were held.
