NEW VIDEO: UAPs swarm U.S. military base; How will Congress respond? | Reality Check

As exclusive new video shows UAPs swarming Langley Air Force Base in December, should Americans be concerned about unknown aircraft violating military airspace and what is Congress doing about it?
Ross Coulthart speaks with Jonathan Butner, the man who filmed several of these so-called “drones” flying over Langley, as well as Ryan Graves, who as founder of Americans for Safe Aerospace is working to make it easier for military and commercial pilots to report UAP sightings.
Ross also speaks with Wisconsin Republican Congressman Glenn Grothman, sponsor of the “Safe Airspace for Americans Act, which would require the FAA to come up with a plan to allow people to report incidents without fear.
Host: Ross Coulthart
Executive Producer: Andy Gipson
Senior Producers: Sam Adelman, Joe Ward, Emily Lambert
Producer: Adam Hainsfurther
Editor: Rob Alvarez
On "Reality Check," NewsNation contributor Ross Coulthart digs into stories the media is supposedly not meant to tell, taking a fact-based approach to tackle everything from unidentified aerial phenomena (UAPs) to mysteries often missing from the headlines.

Something I can't wrap my head around Ross, unknown assets are flying over a critical military installation and they arent doing anything about it, yet if a civilian drives up to military base then all security wakes up.... Only one thing comes up to my mind, they already know what it is. 💯

@superbwater78 If you think there's nothing they could do about it 🙊 That is hilarious. And if a hostile adversary had super advanced technology, we could do nothing to stop they wouldn't just be hovering over a base. Even thinking that is logical is an embarrassment 😳.

What they're actually doing is trying to introduce themselves to the military, that's the most logical explanation because they visit all of the military bases especially if there's nuclear weapons there and they fly back and forth like they did in 1968 over Edwards they were actually showing themselves so you could recognize them look if you're a military and we used to shoot at these things in the 1950s we lost 146 Pilots Chasing UFOs nobody tells you about this many of them were Aces from the Vietnam War and World War II, in the craft that they were flying they were very familiar with it

[@tomking7080]

Facts!!! There was a classified briefing today with the UAP caucus given by the new head of AARO and a Air Force General,I think it was, and I’m curious to know what was said in this briefing. Since it was classified we won’t know what was discussed but maybe we will get some clues. I’m wondering if the new head of AARO is going to be like Kirkpatrick or if he is going to take his job seriously and not try and bury information like Kirkpatrick did. We all know that the AARO report that was recently released was just a Bluebook 2.0 and it was predetermined with a “Nothing to see here “. They didn’t do what they were mandated to do by Congress. They didn’t include anything about the Nimitz incident nor the other 2015 incidents of which we seen the videos to with the Gimbal and Go Fast. They didn’t go back and look at the older cases that they were mandated to do. They basically did nothing but say “Nothing to see here!!”

[@TruthSpeaker-9393]

[@nicholasbrunning]

To give credence to Butners account; in 2019 dural Australia I and a mate watched three orbs drop out of the sky, incredible luminosity, rotating, equidistant apart, and then they stopped, inertia didnt do shit, started phasing, the colours would pulse and change a plasmery orange/white. Suddenly what appeared to be a disc of light instantly materialized between the three orbs and the whole structure flew off as a fully formed ufo spinning back up into the clouds until it disappeared/evaporated. Notes; when it stopped i felt it in my head. As if it knew i knew it wasnt 'normal'. At the last moment in the clouds before it disappeared i thought i could see figures/silloutes in the craft.

[@lamashtu3449]

Thanks for sharing! How close do you think they were to you? How do you think you were able to possibly see those passengers? Did it have windows or was the whole thing kinda phasing in and out in a way that you could see through the solid outer shell of the craft?

I may have been seeing through the skin or when it was in the clouds the outlines were illuminated by the source points of light. It's honestly hard to know, anything period. It started as light orbs and ended as a full classic ufo. The eerie aspect was that I felt it consciously and I'm not one who perceives mind to be the fundament. Cool tech.

Well done, NewsNation and Ross Coulthart for covering this story in detail. It's clear that we're not being told the whole story regarding this Langley Base incident.

[@daark982]

As a Part 107 Drone Pilot, I'd just like to say it is essentially impossible for those objects above Langley AFB to be retail drones (DJI Mini/Mavic, etc). There is strict regulation with flying your drone near an airport, much less flying it over one of the most important air force bases containing highly classified aircraft. That being said, it could be a military or non-civilian aircraft but that seems somewhat unlikely.

[@blakeb9964]

Yeah if they're govt craft then at this point, they're staging these incidents. But for what purpose? It makes no sense to fly govt craft this publicly for no real reason and then lie about it. The whole thing is so fishy.

Omg……these are what I recorded on video in Southern California in May of last year! I’m so glad I saw this video! There were 6 craft that I recorded. Some appeared to be blinking and mimicking navigation lights, but the cadence was off. One of them was not blinking at all, and at points some would blink and then stop blinking. 2 days later and about 5 miles away I saw one of these things hovering above my vehicle while I was driving. How is that even possible? I recorded that too! When I zoomed in on the video and slowed it down the blinking light turned out to be either a light or an orb moving extremely fast from behind the craft out to about the side of the craft and back so quick that it appeared to blink. I got about 10 minutes of video of these encounters and I would love for you guys to see it. I would love for Ryan Graves to see it too. Please get a hold of me. -Dave

With my channel for example…..the only thing I ever wanted to accomplish was to spread information from investigations I did related to Sasquatch. I just wanted people to know the data and then from there follow wherever they felt the data brought them. I’ve been very interested in UAP sightings and educating myself as much as possible about what was going on and where and when but I’ve only had a passing interest in it until last year when I saw these damn things. It’s really difficult to describe seeing something right in front of your face that you’ve been instructed your entire life to ignore because it’s not real……but when you see something flying around that is clearly technology…..and was clearly not made by human beings……It’s very crazy to come to terms with. Everyone I showed The videos I took of these objects immediately wrote them off as airplanes because they were blinking…..but they weren’t……and I couldn’t find any other videos out there of what I recorded until this video!

It looked like a submarine or the side of a cruise or mili ship from below. I could see joints and rivets. It was about 50ft above me and hovering, still and silent just above the trees. Ive seen some otherworldly stuff but this wasn't like that. It was clearly made by humans...but defying what we're told are capabilities of our flying crafts.

I hate to even jump in. I have videos. I’m in So California. In the San Jacinto Mountains. I moved here 2 years ago from Los Angeles. Don’t bother trolling me with your gaslighting. Not drones. One time one was close enough that it looked like a roiling ball of plasma.. not a drone.

[@22Spirals]

This is literally the only “news” I’ve been able to handle for years. Also, the first interviewed guy was extremely knowledgeable on the topic. Great stuff Ross. 🌀

[@Aangel452]

Thanks John, for coming forward and being a part in this phenomenal awakening for all humanity, that this overwhelming confrontation, of scary reality to some… is actually happening? We admire you greatly for your truth and courage☺️

[@GregoryMarkel]

Thank you News Nation and Ross Coulthart, for covering this story, and thank you to Ryan Graves for lending your expertise on this vitally important topic.

[@chefc8371]

The DOD, specifically the air force knows damn well what’s going on.

[@clives344]

For sure on an Airbase at 20.00 pm there must have been alot of other people who saw this

[@scootmcgoot570]

Yep but unfortunately the MIC owns and operates the govt. Our whole govt is a sham illusion

[@rd264]

the gov doesnt know more than these pilots and doesnt even want the data collected. the gov denies aliens are here simply because it is obviously completely out matched by orders of magnitude so it does not want to admit it. they are here and do not want the job of dealing with aliens which are clearly extremely powerful and dangerous, and not friendly.

11th April saw the same thing size of 1/2 cars, super fast movements, silent, NE Lincolnshire, UK 10:30 pm ish! 20 mins later 2 RAF jets flew over - probably from RAF Connigsby. Got video, but, it was night time! Way too big to be a drone, way too fast! Flew off 45° above the clouds in an instant, maybe 0.25 sec. Eerie! Tried to debunk! Local harbour uses drones for security. But, they're hand held, small remote controlled! Local seagulls went mad, circling above my house, alarm calling, hundreds of them! Hence why I looked outside! I called my adult kids, but, it flew off by the time they got to me! Checked that all doors & windows were locked! It was scary!

[@Daddyslittlescientist]

Have you checked the flifhtradar paths

[@michaeljessmon126]

Russ, I love your enthusiasm and attitude..I have asked people,,would you rather know what you don’t know, or know what you know? I have always said I rather know what I do know. I shouldn’t have. The UAPs are our drone anti gravity travel that move like UFOs, but they see not the real UFOs..There is a huge disturbing reason why they are separating themselves from the UAPs. If you want to know the truth, I will send you a podcast with a person who used to work for the bureau for 25yrs. Who controls the UAPS is the Cobalt..

[@Daddyslittlescientist]

Im interested

[@Lovinglifeinseattle]

Ross, thank you for your continued pursuit to expose the truth. There will be a day, you will know your efforts were not in vain. Do not give up!

[@user-wi4iw9ko6j]

The truth is not coming. This is a national security issue. The Pentagon is more likely to give you your own nuclear submarine than to tell you about UFO's. I'm in a position to know more than most. You don't want to know.

Ross, you are rock solid! You are so careful about only putting out the truth. I always appreciate your updates, knowing that I’m not being fed a heap of BS. Thank you sir.

[@Airwaves-Radio]

I have a DJI drone and live about three miles from the local airport. Because of my proximity to the airport, I get a warning message from my drone, before I can fly it. If I get too close to the airport, the drone will automatically return to the launch point. Obviously there are ways to override the built-in safety features of drones, but that would have to be a deliberate act. Therefore, even if these were some type of commercial drone, the operator is performing an illegal act in flying over an airport. This is why this has to be taken seriously by the authorities.

[@H3li0s]

you can deactivate this setting.

[@911axe]

​Yes, you can deactivate those settings, but if a drone operator was going to deactivate the airport proximity feature, dont you think they would also deactivate the lights, since they would be easier to deactivate than other safety features.

[@Airwaves-Radio]

@@911axe Not all drones have lights, but if they do, some tape would easily cover them. If the NASA WB-57 was called in, they are taking it seriously and it's not a commercial drone. A helicopter could easily intercept a common drone. Plus, they have anti-drone devices.

[@H3li0s]

@@911axe Not if the objective is to test the response. They are fishing 😉

[@blakeb9964]

If that was what this was then you'd think there would be a huge investigation and response. But when these things happen the govt just plays dumb and lets it happen. It's so weird.

[@davidkingsford1010]

Like usual, that was brilliant Ross. You are the best. Thanks to News Nation for having "Reality Check." It's an excellent podcast. Top guests too. Any Congressman that goes against this new bill, does not have the good of the public in their interest.

Great interview, Ryan Graves!! 🇺🇸❤️☮️

[@natopeacekeeper97]

Drone swarms is one of the tactics the Chinese military has been looking at. Not saying they are related to China, but we can't have drones flying unchallenged over our military bases. When I was in the Army, the weaknesses in base defense, problems with part of a security fence around our ammunition bunkers laying on the ground for weeks, security cameras being down for extended periods of time, etc. When I was an MP at Fort Hood Texas, I was working the West Fort Hood Army airfield and decided to see what security was in place for the many Apache and Blackhawk helicopters sitting on the ground. There was a single, unarmed soldier sitting in a small security building-and he couldn't see ANY of the helicopters from his post. I'm sure the situation hasn't changed. Our military has a terrible habit of not being proactive about defense measures until something major happens-and then it's too late.

[@Section5_CdnIntelService]

Look into the subject of Aerogel balloons.

[@GODHATESADOPTION]

Remember that one guy who walked in and hotwired a tank? Its so easy... Axl said it best!

[@blakeb9964]

I just really can't believe that 40 drones or unknown craft could swarm one of our military bases with absolutely zero response or concern. There's just no way. So these must be something else. But if they're ours, why do this and why so publicly?

[@JasonRing]

@@blakeb9964 I agree. Try driving a POV through an ECP leading to the ramp and runway, and time how quickly a maintainer, SF, or anyone driving around the area contacts the tower or SF to respond. Bright flashing lights will appear everywhere, and they won't be UAPs. That there was seemingly no visible reaction or response to this is definitely out of the norm and potentially leads the conversation in the direction of awareness of what was going on and/or a decision not to react or respond overtly. Not saying there wasn't a response (say a passive reaction), but on the surface, it is beyond curious as to why no physical response was observed at the installation.

[@farrazdanny]

Thank you, Ross! for bringing this up!

[@wilhelmscream1836]

Ross will go down in history as an important figure in this long disclosure process and dammit the man just has balls , thank you Ross!

[@Mark.G475]

Always good to see Ross Caulthart! Cheer's mate from Milwaukee Wisconsin 🧀🍻

[@dugumash]

I bet if we called these unknown items "possible Iranian UAPS", they would get much more attention. Or perhaps they don't get the attention they need simply because the military already knows what they are....

[@splanzza]

Glad to see Ryan is ok and still around! His podcast "Merged" is great. I did not see any new interviews and was worried a little. 💪

[@carolinateixeira7985]

Was so nice to hear Ross' solidarity to the witness. Hello from Brasil. ❤🇧🇷

[@gnosis6073]

This is one of the best pieces of joined up reporting on this issue in a long time. Excellent work!

[@HamsterDK]

If someone decided to fly drones over Langley to spy or to test out the security, then why in the hell would they fit it with flashing lights??? Also if this light is 10 miles away, then it is one POWERFUL lightsource, meaning the craft must have been rather large to carry that kind of equipment.

[@ColbyBlack]

There is ball lightning technology that not only has existed in patent since 1979, but is being verified at fractal levels through electron microscope of materials, collected inside of retrofitted engines and being open sourced and released as we speak. If it’s a scale up version of itin these aircraft lights consequence

Just reading Leslie Kean's book UFOs and she provides a great summary on how they were able to track the appearance of UFOs beginning about a month after the initial nuke test is NM and how those appearances and trends coordinated with over 2400 nuclear tests into the 90's. Pretty interesting. Seems logical.

The Defense Intelligence Agency labels these as Drones. So if that is the case, why allow foreign 'drones' to fly over military installations collecting SigInt & Intel & Base Operations?

[@jonv2911]

I have to say, at the end of the stream, this congressman was as murky as a fog, especially his short replies to Ross’s questions… and this here, came twice: “It’s the nature of government to keep the public in the dark..”. Totally playing along with Pentagon’s narrative.. “yes there is something that we can’t explain…” but that is all we can say!

[@bruceterrell9287]

My father was a USMC pilot for about 16 years (1943-1959) and a corporate pilot for more than 30 years. I pressed him to reveal his observations, which he did circumspectly. He did not offer interpretations. I am a professional archeologist (30 years Federal). I have witnessed at least two UAPs in my adult life as well. I'm trained to observe and assess. I very much appreciate Lt. Graves approach to approaching these in terms of flight safety and taking these observations seriously.
