Ross Coulthart is one of the most professional respectful patient interviewers of all time. He allows full story telling from the other person - challenges them in a productive communication - - he elicits honest and detailed accounts and does not show prejudice . Very much appreciate those qualities of Ross - - He is the right person to gather all these accounts and I applaud his dedication to the subject.

[@herculeholmes504]

No, he's a bullshitting grifter. He's promoted a string of UFO and Alien stories that were quickly proven to be bogus. The most recent example being Jake Barber, a man who claims to have been a helicopter pilot despite his record showing that he was an E3 - not an officer. His guests could be for real, or they could be phony. Nothing coming out of Ross Coulthart's mouth gives us any useful info.

Much of our problems are created by ignorance and fear. We live the life we dream not knowing our percieved reality is true or not. We have created this prison like trap menrality and arent even awear of it. I have some abilities that tell me there is more. In ways i sometimes wish i didn't . I think we are waking up and its going to get to the point tgat we will not know what reality is. Its ok. We will get threw this together. Help each other. Focus on wholesome behaviors. Its very important that we do this. What we focus on will become our reality. Don't do anything rash. Wait until the storm passes. It will pass because that is the nature of reality. So if you think your loosing your mind its ok. Its part of us waking up. We will need it for our next step in evolution. Thing good thoughts. Work towards wholsome thoughts. Become wholesome.

@ScottPowersArt i felt it when Jake Barber said that the events that have happened to him only confirmed what he and what we as humans have always known, trusting our intuitions, knowing that we're apart of this universe and that our consciousness trancends space and time. Ive had that feeling my whole life. All of this new ufo disclosure is only confirming it. Stay off of the UFO reddit group comments section. It is full of athiests, non-believers, and terribly mean skeptics. Miserable communists. Very biased moderators, extremely left wing trash to be honest.

Barber's claims about his early career are dubious and I suspect he's embarrassed that he washed out of the CCT program. That doesn't mean he was lying about the retrieval stories. And the psionic stuff is relatively new to him by his own admission so that's not even something from his career and needs to be looked at under a separate analytic lens.

[@anthonyneilson4404]

I'm sure (ish) this guy is sincere but this is a far less compelling testimonial than the full-length interviews of Barber and Baker. I find it odd that there's no mention of Sleep Paralysis ("night terrors") in relation to his childhood experiences because it sounds like a textbook example of that and I can't agree that bruises on his arm are, and I quote, "irrefutable evidence". I'm also immediately dubious when I hear that someone has books to sell. Even Barber's compelling testimony is somewhat marred for me by the fact that he's setting up a business centred on UAP retrieval. I know some here have no tolerance for dissent but I actually want to believe a lot of this, I'm just hyper-aware of confirmation basis and how easily any of us can slip into the Q-Anon conspiracy spiral. Most of the time Ross gives voice to my skepticism but here he seems to accept this testimony with far too little scrutiny. This interview would have very little credence for me (or anyone, I suspect) were it not connected to Barber's testimony.

[@domr7023]

The fact Steven “as I said to the Chief of Staff” Greer is now being given credence by the UAP whistleblowers and Ross is more than disappointing

[@JimmyMac717]

Ditto.

[@EyeSpanSam]

Ross offered “definitive proof” before the Barber interview. We were given one man’s “impression” of an egg 150 feet away. Then he got a “feeling” of something. Remember the claim of “definitive proof” by Ross regarding that large metal ball?? Now this guys equates bruises on his arm as definitive proof he was abducted. I’m appalled and disgusted. Click bait and lies. And impressions and feelings. Ross is a lawyer he knows damn well what definitive proof is. I don’t trust Ross anymore. As much as I want to… and this guys chicken skin tingles are offensive. They’re all writing books, starting companies, getting paid per clicks, reinventing themselves and offering less than ever not more. A Gofundme campaign offering / raising 10 million dollars for smoking gun evidence would produce results faster. However, This is U.S tech, from day one. All that came before is interpretation and confirmation bias. It’s US tech folks. Tis so….

[@donaldsanders5639]

Also most of the guest are peddling books. I was thrilled with Grusch and every guess afterwards feel more and more like Richard Doty non-sense.

[@esakoivuniemi]

I don’t think these guys are deliberately lying-they seem sincere and genuinely believe what they’re saying. However, I think they’re conflating concepts and jumping to conclusions in some cases. Take the so-called 'psionic' phenomenon as an example. Jake Barber referred to it as 'extratemporal,' when the more accurate term might have been 'extrasensory.' This might seem like a small mistake, but does it actually reveal that these individuals feel the need to embellish their story with flashy, cool-sounding terms? It’s also strange that these 'psionic' assets were supposedly capable of summoning UAPs and bringing them to land, yet they needed helicopters to move the crafts around. Why didn’t the 'psionic' assets simply fly the crafts to where they were needed? If there’s any kernel of truth to these claims, it seems more likely that these individuals were communicating with the beings controlling the crafts, rather than the crafts themselves. That would better explain the need for helicopters later on. There are other odd inconsistencies in the story as well, and the connection to figures like Greer and Herrera doesn’t do much to bolster its credibility. Quite the contrary. For me, the jury is still out on the Barber story.

[@willhoward2724]

As an Australian and avid UFO/NHI believer who has followed not just Ross but the disclosure at large, the comment section here and on all Ross's content is superb. I wish the mainstream news carried the opinions left by notmal people in the comments. It is such a look into 'the peoples' perspective. I come across rubbish headline posts/articles on FB all the time. Yet the comments instill so much faith in people.

You need to listen to Dr. Greer's first podcast at least. To get the context of what is going on. Unfortunately, in my mind, those who are not prone to believe, watch Dr. Greer or anything about this subject, will never hear it or believe. It will only lead to an elevation of criticism toward this community as conspiracy nuts. This has to be a full out broadcast with urgency that requires people to pay attention.

[@mikenewbold1699]

Back in 1998 i was walking home through a field in Derbyshire uk. coming over the hill there was a blinding white light covering the whole of the field bearing in mind this was in the middle of nowhere so no street lighting. There was no noise as i approached the light i could hear a low whirring hum type of sound. i suddenly felt an extreme fear there was a metallic smell in the air. I turned 90 degree and essentially ran away. Next day this was on the local news as others had seen it but it was never explained what it was. There was burn marks in the field where the object was.

I also had an experience with a 3-meter praying mantis-type being. I felt freaked out for a second but then was overwhelmed by how gentle and graceful it was, caring. I didn't communicate with words with what I would describe as a female because she gave me the feeling that she was like a mother watching over her child and seemed surprised that I could see her. She did make some clicking sounds as if trying to talk to me, but I couldn't understand her language, only her emotion. I could be right off my rocker, but the experience is as vivid today as it was when it happened. Perhaps my experience was different because I am not involved in military or nuclear weapons and nobody in my family is either. I wonder if during his childhood they already saw his future? Great Show, keep digging, thank you.

[@brite_art668]

You're not off your rocker. Trust. It's the difference between belief and knowing. If you know you experienced it, you experienced it. I've a couple of my own that I've kept to myself for now. I'm a spiritual person, meditate and work on or moving with healing everything to achieve a higher spiritual being. I was so terrified of aliens and all that was coming out about them. I wanted to understand so badly, but I was so afraid, and I don't really get afraid. I listened to another "authority" on all of this, and I thought, desperately in my head, about wanting him to help me understand. He talks about the benevolent beings, like what you've described. He said they are here to help us achieve peace and are concerned we will use nuclear weapons and destroy the world, and more. He said they are telepathic and are loving and kind. I'm truly not off my rocker (well depends on who you ask lol), but this person showed up in my bedroom when I was in a meditative state and assured me that I already know our connectedness, we are all connected, and I do know this, not belief. There was another being with him that was pure light and very tall, it seemed taller than my ceiling. I wasn't afraid after that. It was not a tall white. I saw no facial features at all. It may have been more of a spiritual being. I still didn't want to live next door to an alien, but I was better. A few days later, I saw a gray, as they're called. Again, a meditative state, and he was staring right into my face. I didn't feel fear, didn't feel much at all. Suddenly, his eyes were filled with this beautiful love. It was so incredible, so beautiful. I've written a novel, when my point was only going to be, cherish what you were given, especially because it was shown with love.

I find the idea of the 'aliens" being malevolent hard to grasp. I know that in 1962 I was a child when I was first abducted and I was terrified. However, in 2009 I was in sleep paralysis and finally willed myself to wake up. I was not in the least afraid and the "alien" stayed in my room with me for several more minutes - I assumed to make sure I was not terrified like before. I can tell you that the alien was a multidimensional creature because after a couple of minutes a portal opened in my room and the creature exited thru it. I was told by many that I was dreaming!! I was not dreaming and never even went back to sleep for several years. I was just overcome with a sense of comfort and love.

Coming back from a bike ride in the middle of a heatwave, I lay down naked on my bed and was quickly taken by sleep paralysis with a luminous oval above me. It was a powerful feminine presence extremely frightening. It was a fight of several minutes to finally manage to get out of this paralysis. I was used to having lucid dreams and out-of-body experiences so the effect of the body paralysis was never frightening in itself but this presence scared the hell out of me.

The highest respect to all of our veterans, for their sacrifice and service to our nation. I am very appreciative of all those who have the courage it takes to come forward with these types of revelations. That being said, NO ONE has the "right" to kidnap people against their will, much less do experiments on them. Would we be ok with another nation kidnapping our people and experimenting on them? NO. WE WOULD NOT. I am very disturbed that these entities are being presented as possible good guys "just doing their job." There is nothing good about it. In this testimony we hear: Fear. Terror. Kidnapping. Physical attack. Paralyzing. Torture for the sake of coercion. Memory tampering. Gaslighting. EVIL. Oh, don't mind us, we're here to help you...just let us do our job... The book Alien Intrusion by Gary Bates is a very interesting read and may change your mind about the true nature of these entities. This man's testimony is confirmation for me.

[@mbrooksay]

I myself am a pre-birth experiencer, also known as PBE. My experience isn't as extraordinary as others. My earliest memory chronologically comes before my earliest childhood memories, and I recall things from when I was one and a half years old. Everything was dark. A simple question was presented to me, telepathically, consciously, maybe even audibly, but it was very clear. "What do you want to be?" I knew my answers could be either "boy" or "girl." I chose to be a boy. That's all I can remember, or was allowed to remember. But I firmly believe I was allowed to remember that little bit. That memory has been with me all of my existence. When I was in preschool and kindergarden, I asked other children and teachers if they remembered asking to be a boy or a girl and I was looked at strangely and quickly passed off. I stopped asking people. By the time I was sixteen or eighteen years old (2003-2005), I did a web search to find if other people remember such an experience. Unsure what to type, I wrote something along the lines of, "picking to be a boy or a girl." The top result, or one of the top results, was "pre-birth experience" and I immediately had even more confirmation that what I experienced was real. It's funny to think about the results you would get nowadays by typing what I did into a search engine. Believe it or don't. I'm not famous, and I do not desire to be, but please at least entertain yourselves and do a little web research on PBEs. I only share this with certain people, and it is 100 percent worth sharing with the UFO community. We UFO believers have an open mind. Was it an alien I talked to? Was it God? Was it an angel? A relative? I don't know. Other PBEs describe details like having different planets to pick from and also what parents you will have! Can easily be compared to "The Sims" or dare I say a "simulation" or "the most realistic video game." Life basically is a hardcore, one-life PVP server, and God is the admin. Go for the high score, and live a more lucrative life next time... perhaps? That all being said, I am still scared to die, especially at a young age. My anxiety grows stronger over the years. But I have hope nonetheless

[@thomascroft5076]

I witnessed a black triangle ufo, at rooftop level, over 45 years ago, so I don't need to be convinced. But all we got from the deeply discursive interviewee here, were some recollections of childhood dreams and hazy impressions of him having seen someone in the cab of a truck following a bikeride which possibly resulted in a medical emergency and possible unconsciousness for several hours. Also, self-perceived 'personally anomalous behaviour' is not a cast-iron indicator of something being irrefutably true or not, and a trained professional psychologist would be advised not to bandy about terms such as 'crazy' when describing people's behaviours.
