Preparing for war in space: inside a Space Force base | Reality Check with Ross Coulthart

In Part 2 of Ross Coulthart`s `WAR IN SPACE?` series, NewsNation Senior National Correspondent goes inside an active Space Force Base.
Brian and Ross discuss how the U.S. government is secretly preparing for a conflict with China, Russia, or terror groups in outer space.
This comes as Governors in nearly all 50 states are pushing back on Pentagon proposal to shift Air National Guard service members to Space Force.
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.

I really like "Reality Check" with Ross Coulthart! Kudos to NewsNation to make this happen!

[@keplermission4947]

It's boring, we need a concise version.

[@johnyoung2705]

@@keplermission4947 Would you prefer a 17-second TikTok video version? People are being trained by social media to absorb things in a matter of seconds but there's no time for nuance, qualification, or analysis in those. Reality Check gives us a lot for a half hour of time.

[@stawmy]

I like the Aussies, they are blunt, say what they think.They ask critical questions.Australia has approved over 200 new coal mining projects under the greatest ever carbon credit ponzi scheme of all time. I don't know if Ross covered this, but the Juice media did!

[@Oblivionsurveyor]

I like how Ross caught them saying "Its not just Aliens and Star trek" ......Seems like a confirmation to me.

[@craigmackay4909]

“They” aren’t a threat I guess. Just a nuisance.

[@stawmy]

Yes that got me too. Saying 'it's not just..' implies that aliens are indeed on the agenda.

[@deanjamesobrien]

No it's not,,, its scaring everyone to death since China n Russia aint interested,,America will make their war,, once they've built there winning army,, space Forse,, woteva

[@NatPat-yj2or]

@@stawmy Not quite. This is in regards to a global protection system that was deployed first in the 70's and 80's, and it's not operated by just the US. It is operated by all major countries. (DIA/NSA/CSS If this is flagged and you read this, I got this information over 15 years ago from the accidental leak from the retired general at the NPC, please don't come after me, this was leaked publicly.) The planet is surrounded by sensors, up to several million miles in all directions, to detect anything coming from the far outer solar system and beyond. This could be anything from asteroids, to plasma or energy radiation coming from natural objects, and yes, potentially aliens, although I don't think any aliens have been found yet. If you see a sudden, massive multi-national push for high profile, expensive space projects, you can safely assume that we have made contact with something, but until then, don't lose sleep over it.

[@stawmy]

@@NatPat-yj2or Thanks for that information, i have heard stories of course, but no actual proof. But i did note that several radar bands were reserved, by all the major powers, for 'space research'. All these countries, supposedly enemies, all using the SAME radio bands? And they are all forbidden to joe public? No, i am not surprised at all. But it does anger me that they keep lying to us. They think we are stupid, but we are not.

[@Gangstor]

How the hell is News Nation specifically barred from Pentagon press briefings, but allowed onto a SF base and doing interviews with staff???

[@Susanne-lu9es]

I believe that Newsnation only got access to an interview because Space Force wants it and because for some reason it will benefit Space Force.

[@stephdigiorgio6383]

The powers that be want us asking these questions. They purposely want us confused. They purposely want us wondering who we can trust within the subject of ufo/uap/e.t life. They want us never for sure knowing so then we can never confirm anything. It's all a part of their plans.

[@hellovicki6779]

Thanks Ross mate!. Ross has achieved a certain kind of "coup" in my opinion. Unless I am mistaken,Ross is one of the extreme few-if not now the only legitimate "old school" professional journalist as a contracted regular presenter with a news network in America with "free-range" to cover the UFO topic as HE sees fit!.👍 Proud Aussie export mixing it with the best!.

[@Willowcreek19]

This winter I was camping next to someone who was an officer in the Space Force out if Alaska. After a while I asked about the shoot downs last winter (tic tac) He started talking about NDAs. In a later conversation he said he worked with Lockheed and Raytheon employees everyday and they were great guys. He also said he was on 90 day leave because of stress. Those guys are doing something major up there.

[@jamesstevens2362]

Working with aliens at Mount Hayes must be stressful! 😉

[@Android.Paranormal]

The Space Force changing the subject when asking about objects they can’t identify is no surprise.

[@NordicOpinion]

The old cliche: we haven't seen anything that pose a threat...

[@razmatazzzz]

AARO says it's all conventional. That's probably impossible with emerging tech.

[@brettschaapveld9449]

I wonder if they keep track of all the orbs I’ve been seeing lately or if they noticed the missing piece of space junk that lit up the sky, a bright pale orange, at 1:51AM this morning. Maybe they should focus on not having WW3 in space or anywhere else for that matter. Photon Torpedoes should be for planetary self defense only and phasers should only be set to stun unless the Borg tell us resistance is futile or we are drowning in Tribbles.

[@Kmakmizzle]

WON'T identify.

[@martinmclean4801]

When they say they can identify everything. They aren’t lying. If they can’t identify it, they then identify it as an unknown and classify it. Nothing then goes as unidentified.

[@johnyoung2705]

The UAP Task Force/AARO used this classification scheme from the first UAP report onward, with their "other" category. Not that I credit anything AARO says thanks to the demonstrable lies, feigned ignorance, and obfuscation they have demonstrated. Bringing an awful video to a briefing,, then not having an audiovisual tech with them to run it and fumbling for a few minutes, was all part of trying to put America back to sleep. It's not working thanks to NN and others with the bit in their mouth!

What folks either don't know or understand is that "Space Force" existed as Air Force Space Command. So it's missions & skill sets have been in operation for decades.

[@deviltoadproductions8008]

Mr. Coulthart's lexicon is elucidating and vast, but never verbose. Good on ya' Mate, banger word choice every time the mic's hot. Every time. Great reporting Brian. Space Force has been largely overlooked by legacy media. Thank you for pulling back the veil with some actual ground work. Well done all around.

[@nickfanzo]

So they can see 22,000 miles into space and never encountered an object they didn’t already log? My b.s meter is firing on all cylinders!

[@remmos2816]

For many years they could identify everything - how is it possible they could not see MH - 370, which is a bgt question mark !!!

[@FMDD168]

The satellite and drone footages tell the tale about the reality of MH 370. But Ross irresponsibly failed to cover it in his prior report.

They know exactly what happened,I was waiting for them to make it look like it crashed by putting similar plane parts in the water,u have disappearances in multiple places around the globe,there are many besides 370,ross has talked to people that know

The Space Force is a Branch of the Military. Space Command is totally different and separate. Space Command is a Unit.

[@AndrewinAus]

Interesting I never knew what happened to Ross Coulthart after he seemingly disappeared from our TV screens here in Oz.

[@Nurse_Diesel]

I love their badges in the Space Force hallway at the beginning of this video. I really like the octopus grabbing the stealth craft or UFO. Looks like there is a UFO or stealth craft in a few of their badges. It is kind of telling as these badges are taken seriously. Lets Go.

[@willyouwright]

A more important question to ask them is not what can they see but what has disappeared..

[@mechachrist]

The acorn-shaped object is reminiscent of the Kecksburg object.

The sun itself is quite capable of shutting down all modern electronic technology (including satellites) with a Carrington-type event.

[@JohnWhite-nq5kn]

Considering the fact that the u.s. have airial vehicles that can go beyond earths atmosphere,at a moments notice,we should not assume that these vehicles are unarmed, I would assume that the u.s. would be mandated to protect it's satellite infrastructure,as modern warfare is reliant on air superiority,by taking out satellite communications airial combat could be on a more level playing field, I believe space force is a vital branch of the u.s.a.'s defense system, good interview, good video, keep up the good work guys, blessings on your endeavors

Why are they wearing camouflage?! They realize their is no foliage in space, right?

There are several types of camos: green for forests, sand for deserts, white/grey for snow, etc. Space will have its own pattern.

[@michaellewandowski1388]

@@ra1111 yeah but they're wearing their army greens. Besides space is a vaccum. There are no shades it's just black. I suppose if we were going to war on the moon...maybe grey. But space warfare is not allowed anyway we signed a treaty and your grey outfit is going to be overshadowed by your white space suit. Although I'm sure you're black and grey camo will look real good after you experience explosive decompression.

Where did he go? Did he ever go to Australia’s secret base? If yes, who did he meet there? Did he meet any scientific colleagues at your prestigiousUniversities And or given any physical evidence of the phenomena to take back with them? As an X investigator myself, I smell a good follow up story with more evidence of visitation when Dr. McDonald visited your country. From seeing news interviews from his visit, he seems like a man took copious notes and scientific thrill to follow the evidence. Ross always a good show. Keep up the great work.

[@griptopia]

Ross said he grew up in NZ, I'm from the UK, but i never grew up :) i bet really deep down ross didn't either in a good way :) Very cool episode chaps and chapesses. It's really quite comical that the US gov have to deny? Maybe it's time they just say yes but we cannot talk about it. That trend needs to continue because what has gone on in the past is so so wrong on every level. Time for change and hopefully it's happening. I don't expect them to disclose anything but at least the narrative is changing to yes there are things but we cannot talk about it. Down the line the honesty needs to happen, otherwise the politicians cannot hold face in government. The military has to acknowledge this and adjust.
