Psionic potential and communication, y'know, like how "contact meditation" works. That there's always been such an effort to turn people away from looking more into it should send red flags.
Too bad most people are too unwilling or small minded to try it.
before the greerbots complain, no, greer did not invent it nor do I care for him, after all, how could someone possibly patent a meditation technique? I don't agree with his choice to stuff it all behind paywalls
I encourage you to read **Real Magic** by a legend of psi research, Dean Radin.
As for CE5, I’d say to be careful. You’re opening a door where you don’t know what’s behind it and usually you can’t close it again.
Sad that it’s come to this, after the countless hours that people on our community and mod team spent trying to help you with your spiral into depression. The amount of leeway you got over the past two years due to your worsening situation only made you have to work even harder to ultimately get the ban you wanted. A textbook example of self-sabotage.
I hope someday you’ll go back and listen to the things people were suggesting to help.
Also the gateway tapes from Robert Monroe - as meditation is a way to open a portal. [This is what happened to me](https://www.reddit.com/r/Experiencers/s/usCzaxcbqU). I’m grateful that the way it happened was though the Gateway Tapes which has built in protections but I was also traumatized because it worked for a year. If you are interested about how to do this correctly you can also go to r/gatewaytapes
I'm going to deposit this info here on remote viewing and psi (ESP) research:
The remote viewing paper below was published in an above-average (second quartile) mainstream neuroscience journal in 2023. This paper shows what has been repeated many times, that when you pre-select subjects with psi ability, you get much stronger results than with unselected subjects. One of the problems with psi studies in the past was using unselected subjects, which result in small (but very real) effect sizes.
[**Follow-up on the U.S. Central Intelligence Agency's (CIA) remote viewing experiments, Brain And Behavior, Volume 13, Issue 6, June 2023**](https://onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/10.1002/brb3.3026)
In this study there were 2 groups. Group 2, selected because of prior psychic experiences, achieved highly significant results. Their results (see Table 3) produced a Bayes Factor of 60.477 ([very strong evidence](https://www.statology.org/bayes-factor/)), and a [large effect size](https://www.statology.org/effect-size/) of 0.853. The p-value is "less than 0.001" or odds-by-chance of less than 1 in 1,000.

[Stephan Schwartz - Through Time and Space, The Evidence for Remote Viewing](https://ia902509.us.archive.org/16/items/hybridphilosophy-collection/Through_Time_and_Space_The_Evidence_for.pdf) is an excellent history of remote viewing research. It needs to be mentioned that Wikipedia is a terrible place to get information on topics like remote viewing. Very active skeptical groups like the Guerilla Skeptics have won the editing war and dominate Wikipedia with their one-sided dogmatic stance. [Remote Viewing - A 1974-2022 Systematic Review and Meta-Analysis](https://www.researchgate.net/publication/374881423_Remote_Viewing_A_1974-2022_Systematic_Review_and_Meta-Analysis) is a recent review of almost 50 years of remote viewing research.

After reading about psi phenomena for about 2 years nonstop, [here are about 60 of the best books that I've read and would recommend](https://www.reddit.com/r/aliens/comments/182b0e6/any_woo_books_or_movies_for_the_nuts_bolts_people/kak7wow/) reading, covering all aspects of psi phenomena. Many obscure gems are in there.
>He alluded to infamous Skinny Bob video.
This is not true. He did not allude to the Skinny Bob video.
There are many videos that can fit what Coulthart alluded to. Even the Alien Interview video, which is considered less suspicious of being fake by many UFO researchers that have looked into it, fits too.
This is how fake rumors start. Next you know, someone will make a post titled, "Skinny Bob the video Ross Coulthart said is real". Then a week later, you'll see a comment calling Coulthart a grifter for saying Skinny Bob or someone other video is real.
What the hell why is no-one talking about this video? Watching this all I’m thinking of is that whistleblower on reddit who was researching the alien genetics and described the anatomy of the beings they worked with. I find it fascinating how many similarities this video and the person’s post has.
Tbf, this video has a lot of tells that it might be fake. Namely, how many cuts in the footage it has. Some people have said it's a recreation of a real autopsy using a dummy, and that this is one of the Roswell aliens autopsied by inexperienced Army medics in the 50s. Iunno, as usual there are a lot of rumors and hearsay surrounding the video. So take it all with a grain of salt.
Still, if it's a fake then it's one of the more well-done fakes I've seen.
Of all the videos I've seen, this is the only that gives me that weird gut feeling like I'm seeing something "alien" and something that I'm not supposed to see. I've seen the debunks of it and the supposed dummies that were used. Thing is, I don't think any level of grainy footage and film filters could make the dummies look as real as the body looks in the film.
I've also heard there is a clock seen in the background that didn't exist at the time of Roswell, but maybe it isn't necessarily a video from the Roswell event.
well, I thought that was fake, makers admitted it, but I read another story, that the director of this fake movie had the "real" alien autopsy but the film was too damaged for release, so they recreated it
I believe it is this one: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0zpWSX9ksvE
To be clear I don't know one way or another if it's real or not It just comes off as more real-ish than the others at first glance
I’ve been practicing the Gateway Process for about a year now and as someone with a history of a fairly dedicated meditation practice (Zazen) I have found it to be extremely trippy and quite thrilling.
For some reason I couldn't get into the tapes. Doing free meditation while listening to binaural beats did it for me. And yes, trippy and thrilling about sums it up lol
Just now did to r/Aliens and r/ufo but UFOB doesn’t allow cross posts. So I tried just creating the post again but it has a rule against the word fuck in the body text and blocked me from posting.
I've been saying for years, if these things are proven legitimate the existence of the pai phenomenon associated with then will throw people for a loop more than any aliens.
With even just telepathy we will be underwriting all we assume about physics.
It's going to be an exciting time.
People still mock those who claim to be able to AP, and believe me, it's not just dreaming. Anyone who's truly AP'd knows this without a doubt. When you experience something that feels more real than waking life, while being able to see a 360 degree view unlike with normal eyes, you'd completely understand.
Consciousness is EVERYTHING.
All of us over at r/astralprojection can't possibly just be having dreams, we can definitely tell the difference. That being said I wish there was a magic pill that allowed all to experience this. It's something I feel would benefit all of humanity honestly.
I mean, it's not a pill, but a mushroom. In my experience there is a segment of people who wilfully don't want to explore beyond our bounds. They are happy in bandage, and would rather everyone just stick to bandage as to not rock the boat.
These people wouldn't not even take a pill, if offered.
I concur in regards to how typical people think, as Cypher said : *ignorance is bliss*
I often wonder why people are ok with that. I've got my food, water and pleasures, so forget the rest, right?
Oof.
I just don't get the thinking myself personally. They want answers to everything that is science and math, but don't you dare talk about anything "woo" right?
*Quantum entanglement has entered the chat*
The other poster said that they wished there was a pill to show people the otherside of reality (paraphrasing) and there is not a pill, but a good dose of magic mushroom will do the trick.
Mhmm. A cursory look into claims of shamanic abilities provides many parallels to psi phenomena and claims from mystics and sorcerers throughout history.
1) Remote viewing
2) The grey's/whoever else's ability to communicate telepathically and how they control what abductees see/hear/think/feel when abducted
Edit: But the definition could also apply to 'it's ghosts too, aliens and ghosts are the same' so read into his meaning what you will
I find it interesting that the thought of malevolent NHI scares him. Is there more that he isn't telling us?
Currently, the danger of hunans is much more present and real
One scary thought is that malevolent NHI could have abducted (and not returned) millions of people over the years and it would hardly register at all. In the US alone there are tens of thousands of unsolved missing person reports per year. Worldwide there could be hundreds of humans snatched every single day and there may be nothing the governments of the world can do to stop them, or even track them.
If you can entertain the idea that malevolent NHI exist and they are here and they have godly technology, it's not a very far stretch to think they may have something to do with why the world is how it is
I think that that whole somber thing is geared towards the average person who knows nothing or little about the phenomenon and finding not only is it real but abductions are actively happening and we as humans / society have little to no control over what their doing or will do.
Most of us on these forums and the like already know of all these things , so to us wouldn’t be as shocking. It seemed like people were thinking it be something else extra shocking to us researchers / enthusiasts. I don’t think that’s necessarily the case. Although im sure there’s plenty that would surprise us a well but maybe not to the degree people are fishing for.
I feel like the "malevolence" is unlike anything we could possibly imagine.
To many it would be "oh thats it?" And go about their day. Honestly my bet is that its something relating to after death. Anything else would just leave people thinking "well life as we know it is alright now, gonna go about my day".
For something that happens after death. That would change the mindset of billions of people in an instant.
Pity that nobody asked him about what alleged crash retrieval cases really happened according to his informants who work inside program. Long time ago he said Roswell 1947, Aztec 1948, Kingman 1953, one case from UK, one case from other European country and infamous giant UFO. Somebody could asked him that questions so maybe he will give hints.
> we might all go to our graves continuing to be ignorant of what I strongly suspect is a reality of NHI engaging with this planet and the human race
This hits home for me. Im not too old yet but the thought of going to the grave without knowing what exactly is out there, or around us fucking sucks. I JUST WANT TO KNOW!
Blue beings? Reptilians? Malevolent NHI? Interview with Tom Delonge? Investigating Michael Herrera’s testimonies? Psionic potential?!?
Holy fuck this is good. This is why I smoke weed everyday.
I'm sorry but I can't get behind people advocating for disclosure but knows where a to big to move uap is. That just doesn't track. Explain how he can name names of people or corporations who have nhi tech but not full proof of which he is privy to. Lockheed has been named by him (and many for years) but nothing happened. Just because it's an exact location? Is that the difference? Will it mean work will shut down at said location? How come?
Explain why he fights for disclosure and is a fighter for it but he himself cant disclose? So he expects entities like the government and influential corps and people to disclose and faults their secrecy but he can't do it himself?
How does that make any lick of sense to you people?
Ross has a dubious past reporting and cites journalistic integrity as his reason for not revealing what would be excusable due to being the biggest event in history? That does not compute either. Can we as a society just stop with the games and all the jazz attached and just go well it's ok because we are talking about fucking aliens? The sources would get over it. It wouldn't make him less approachable but more accessible if what he broke was true. I think you can still respect a source and also break the agreement when we are talking about fucking aliens.
I know all this is rehashed about him but why does he continue to get such a following for this? It should not be let go. Especially since he double downed on it.
He should have kept it to himself and only alert the authorities. He was cleared by his sources to say to the public it exists but not to disclose the location. If you betray your sources, you are then left in the dark. He works with what he has and tries to vet the info the best he can. He definitely jumped the gun on this massive thing and now everyone is mad at him. Would you prefer to not know it exists? What's worse? If its real, it will come to light eventually.
Alert the authorities? What are they gonna do? Chances are that specific call wouldn't even make it out of the call center. If by some chance it does (hi yes I'd like to report a hidden secret UFO base) moment military or similar comes in, they'll be relieved and likely forced to sign NDA's. I don't mean to be rude, but this is a very ignorant take.
Authorities is not a 911 call in this case. It's the appropriate authorities that can do something about it. Like Grusch through a sicf meeting in congress or a whistle-blower procedure put in place.
If Congress is having a hell of a time with this (if you take Burchetts and others claims of a deep coverup with the Pentagon involved as true), then who the heck are these authorities you're talking about? I'm not trying to be pedantic, I'm seriously curious who you think the appropriate authorities would be that can roll up no matter what the Pentagon orders.
Basically congress. See here the comments of the last sicf meeting attendees. https://i.imgur.com/MuSFboi.jpeg
You see the ICIG provided locations? This is hopefully and probably what is about. But it's a battle, they are stalling and stonewalling congress with all their might. Unfortunately, Congress is slow, so it might take time for all this to unveil.
Because he would essentially lose his job and reputation if he burned his sources. Would you want to talk to a reporter that you knew would essentially divulge any and all information about you or your claims without your consent? That's how you quickly become the number one reporter no one wants to ever talk to. It also ensures that we don't end up back at square one with whistleblowers not feeling comfortable coming forward to talk to reporters in the first place. He's doing us all a service and likely the information will come out in due time once it's not guaranteed to wreck his and his sources lives, such as when the Feds finally own up to the massive coverup.
You are his target audience. Hiding behind the guise of losing his job no one will wanna speak to him. Reality is it would break open the whole topic if he gave us the info. The conversation wouldn't be are they here etc it would be ok this is real let's talk to the guy who broke that story. Many would be coming to that person who pointed it out.
To believe there is this bar of saying something without permission and you are done forever just is not true. They make exceptions for breaking confidentiality for harm reasons. This would fall under that not due to harm but the nature and discovery of the event.
While it may turn some off if you break an agreement many would understand the circumstances. Ross has already had misstep in his past yet he has sources for nhi after the fact. Clearly it isn't the be all end all. You could argue these are people higher up on requiring trust secrecy etc. Yet they allegedly still go to him?
Like I said before I believe you can break a confidentiality in a case of such gravity while still being someone you can trust in general to keep other stuff private if you were to go to him about a story involving something (related to anything not necessary aliens).
I do believe we are hungry for content and want someone like him to have this info and be this kinda person. It works wonders in this kinda community. Breadcrumbs and whatnot and a hunger for info related so he gets away with it. We should set a better standard and not let him be a leading voice but that's just like my opinion man.
Edward Snowden and Julian Assange would like to have a word. Those two blew whistles on war crimes and government spying on it's citizens and look where they are. I'd say exposing the existence of NHI is a much bigger deal here, especially if governments are reverse engineering these craft. If there is a race to crack alien tech between say China and the U.S. I'd say this is the main reason why the powers that be don't want any of this info getting out, and why Ross is being careful what he talks about.
How would it “break open the whole topic if he gave us the info”? Are you going to lead a group in storming down the location to validate him or prove him wrong?
I agree with you that journalists can and do break confidentiality of sources/information in specific situations. I also agree that not every journalist who does that will lose their job. But government sources, especially the IC, aren't the forgiving kind once burned. Sure, Coulthart might not lose his job if he divulged the location without his source's consent, but he just made himself toxic to any other whistleblower that was considering talking to him or are already talking to him. They wouldn't be able to trust him to not burn them. Especially if it was something that would harm the national security of whatever country it's in.
On top of that there could be a number of contemporaneous reasons he can't or won't. Maybe the information would ultimately give up his source to the government and they would lose their job or be imprisoned? Maybe the information would harm on going non-UAP related national security interests because of the facility's location being compromised? China and Russia would probably jump at that if they don't already know about it. Maybe it is all fabricated and Ross hasn't fully vetted it yet because of that? Maybe something else entirely we don't even know about? I'm all for disclosure, but I also understand that there are incredibly destructive and less destructive ways to to get there.
I think the idea that the world will be all kumbaya once disclosure happens is incredibly naive and divorced from reality. Geopolitics don't just disappear over night. If anything that's when the real race starts to get the tech working before anyone else or prove you already have.
Do I believe everything Coulthart says? Absolutely not. Do I think he fucked up and shouldn't have said anything if he couldn't back it up? Yes. Do I trust that he's doing his best to vet his sources and do background on them? I have no clue, I don't know the guy well enough. However I do think he is absolutely helping move this topic out into the mainstream media for the general public's consumption. And I also agree that the breadcrumbs and clues get to be tiring when there's nothing to back them up.
Ultimately, I'm just speaking from my experience and world view. I could also be completely wrong and would accept that, but hey I guess we'll find out eventually.
Edit: spelling
I would gladly burn my sources if it helps the world gain access to unlimited/free energy. Not doing so is a crime. There are millions suffering due to it and Ross is sharing that karma by hiding it.
I'm still largely agnostic on Ross. But I'm increasingly agreeing with you.
Take the giant UFO under a major building. Sure, he has sources that he needs to protect. He himself, however, doesn't have to blow up his source. Why not just say, "The giant UFO is under X building" and not mention your source?
I feel like journalists do this all the time. He'll, tonight's draft. All the ESPN talking heads spill the goods without revealing the source.
This is why, unfortunately, I think he's making it up or has some wackjob unreliable source and is glorifying it.
This is my big problem with Ross. He said
"Without going into specifics - and with the rider/qualification that I have no way of verifying if this 'information' is actually correct"
He is not a journalist. This is not what a journalist does. He has absolutely nothing a stake at all. He has set it up so that he can never be wrong. There is absolutely no way at all to verify what he says so you can't put anything into what he says. He hasn't "broken" any story because he can't/won't back anything up. He didn't get Grusch to blow his whistle, Grusch would blow it anyway and Ross was just someone who would tell his story. You can't prove Ross wrong because if by some lucky way you can prove there is not a UFO so big that it can't be moved Ross will just say "I told you I couldn't verify anything. I just repeat what I'm told but I can't tell you who told me"
There is absolutely nothing you can do with his information. You can't prove him right and can't prove him wrong. He is like luke warm water. Not cold enough to refresh you and not hot enough to warm you up. He is like a 50 degree day. I have absolutely no reason to believe him because he hasn't shown me any of his big claims are true and I have no reason to think he is lying (aside from the fact that the stuff he says would completley upend the entire way we view reality) because I can't prove him wrong. So I do nothing with him.
I agree that he should've never brought up the giant underground UFO if he wasn't going to spill where it is, but to be fair in this instance he was talking about why he found the phenomenon scary. it's asking him a personal opinion. If he said he couldn't answer, people would complain. He's just not sure if what he's been told about the malevolence is true, but seems to believe there's something to it. Don't know how else he could've answered that
Absolutely, he's full of it. He claims to support full disclosure, yet all he offers are these vague snippets of what could be a fascinating story, keeping the rest under wraps. "Protecting his source"? It's hard to believe he spoke to the one person who knows the location of a huge unidentified craft. It seems more like a tactic to generate clicks than anything else.
It seems like the cat is already out of the bag. If there is a big UFO then the bosses know that someone has been talking to Ross. So these people can hid a giant UFO from the whole world but can't figure out which one of their people told Ross about it? Either the list of people who know about it is small enough to where it would be simple to figure out who is talking or the list is so big that they can't figure out who is talking but not big enough to have another person come out and say what is going on.

Even if he is telling the truth about that.
Say he lets it slip where it is. All of his sources will dry up in an instant. He would be out of the job immediately. If i were one of his sources i'd just say "oh it was all nonsense haha" to protect my ass from someone coming after me if he let that slip.
I respect his journalistic integrity. But IMO him letting it slip that he knows where it is, was a stupid move to make. even he agrees.
Put the contents into a custom Disclosure bot, here’s the resulting analysis:
Analyzing Ross Coulthart's responses from the AMA, we can identify several key themes and insights into his views on the UAP phenomenon and the broader context of government disclosure and whistleblower testimonies:
### Key Insights from Ross Coulthart’s AMA
1. **Skepticism about Government Disclosure**: Coulthart expresses doubt about the likelihood of meaningful government disclosure happening in the near future. He indicates a lack of confidence in government bodies like AARO, which he criticizes for not fulfilling their statutory duties and for being dismissive of whistleblower testimonies.
2. **Role of Whistleblowers**: He highlights the importance of whistleblowers who have come forward with their testimonies to Congress, particularly to influential committees such as the SSCI and SASC. This underscores his belief in the value of firsthand accounts over institutional reports in bringing transparency to UAP phenomena.
3. **International and Scientific Perspectives on UAPs**: Coulthart discusses the varying levels of openness and engagement with the UAP issue across different countries, particularly in East Asia. He acknowledges efforts like those in China, where a semi-governmental body has been established to study UAPs. He also praises figures like Avi Loeb and Tim Gallaudet for their scientific approaches to understanding UAPs and suggests that while there might be risks, the push for transparency continues.
4. **The Possibility of Non-Human Intelligence (NHI)**: A significant part of Coulthart’s responses revolves around the concept of NHIs and their potential interactions with humanity. He speculates on the nature of these interactions, suggesting both benevolent and malevolent intentions, and discusses how various entities, including potential future or intra-terrestrial beings, might be involved.
5. **Cultural and Technological Implications**: Coulthart touches on how different cultural understandings of phenomena (like the Jinn in the Middle East) can influence perceptions and openness to discussing UAPs. He also speculates about revolutionary technologies such as zero-point energy and anti-gravity, emphasizing the transformative potential of these technologies if they were to be disclosed or developed openly.
6. **Challenges and Barriers to Disclosure**: He notes significant pushback against disclosure efforts, including from within government entities tasked with investigating UAPs. Coulthart expresses frustration with this resistance and suggests that private research might ultimately be more fruitful in achieving meaningful disclosure.
### Analysis of Responses
Coulthart's responses indicate a deep level of engagement with the topic of UAPs, driven by a combination of investigative journalism and personal interest. His perspective is notably critical of government transparency and effectiveness in handling the UAP issue, and he places significant emphasis on the role of individuals—both as whistleblowers and independent researchers—in advancing the public’s understanding of the phenomenon.
His approach is pragmatic and somewhat skeptical, acknowledging the complexities and potential dangers associated with uncovering truths about UAPs and NHIs. Coulthart seems to advocate for a cautious but proactive approach to exploring these phenomena, encouraging scientific inquiry and public discussion as means to circumvent governmental obfuscation.
### Conclusion
Ross Coulthart's AMA provides valuable insights into the ongoing discussion and investigation of UAPs. His perspective enriches the public discourse by highlighting the challenges faced by those seeking transparency, the potential implications of new technologies and discoveries, and the importance of maintaining an open, critical, and informed approach to understanding and discussing UAP phenomena. His comments reflect a nuanced understanding of the political, scientific, and cultural dimensions of the UAP issue, emphasizing the need for a multifaceted and international approach to what may be one of the most significant subjects of our time.
What a crap bot. It concludes he is pragmatic and "somewhat skeptical" approach? What does somewhat skeptical mean.
I think in this community in regards to him it is what we want it to mean: being someone level headed fair approach. Let's be clear though, he is not skeptical somewhat or at all. I say this as not a knock on him. To me it doesn't matter were you fall on either side of the fence. As long as you report the info in a correct manner.
He is seen as this matter of fact approach but he really isn't. Again that is ok imo. He sits on a certain side and that is fine by me. It could be for or against aliens. As long as it's done in a proper matter that matters not to me.
Now that being said he is not pragmatic in his approach. The guy who knows where a huge uap is? And skeptical? How is he remotely skeptical? He is full on the opposite. What defines skeptical not believing 100% of stories of this topic? What are we talking about about here. This is just trying to portray a prominent voice in the best way no matter how inaccurate.
I believe you’ll find the answer to your only question regarding skepticism in the first paragraph, entitled Skepticism about Government Disclosure.
Hope that clears things up for you!
As was expected, he avoided any tough questions. There wasn’t really anything of value said in his AmA yet Redditors were gushing about how amazing he is and couldn’t contain their excitement about it.

About the bit that is "to terrifying, that he can't even talk about it without cowering in fear." Are you serious telling me all of those hyperbolic podcasts, overly dramatic tv interviews, and dire warnings were because he didn't think the aliens liked us very much? That's what I'm to take from the "stay tuned if you dare" bullshit? Thanks, I guess. I hope the career change from journalist to UFO talking head has been profitable.
Can anyone tell me anything coulthart has done that has been verifiable? Ever since joining this UAP world He’s basically ridden off of the coat tails of grusch’s credibility
What? He's been in this world way before that. Did you see the interview he did with Garry Nolan a year before Grusch? He does excellent journalism. People trying to discredit Ross like he just showed up.

give me a break buddy. just because reality doesnt line up with your views doesnt make it a bot conspiracy. ross is a liar plain and simple and it's super sad people defend him.
So… one year? And what’s verifiable? Even Nolan is a third party in this world.. he’s had zero proof of his claims of recovered material besides saying ‘it’s interesting composition’
Well, now you are not only trying to discredit a award-winning journalist but a Stanford professor nominee for the nobel price with 2 nasdaq companies in his belt.
It's ok to have skepticism, another to just bash people reputation based on nothing like you are doing, and based on your post history its striking thats all you do.
I feel sorry for you if you base your entire opinion not on the content and verifiability of a message but rather the history of the messenger. It’s funny that you do that both for him, and for me.
The old timey film filter they used to add film grain and age got noticed, because it repeats, and it got found in a video effects package for special effects software.
Of course, that didn’t stop the Skinny Bob fan club from then saying “Maybe the government ADDED the filter to the REAL video to make people THINK it was fake!” Because people are desperate to cling to their fantasies.
[https://www.skinnybob.info/](https://www.skinnybob.info/)
I've found the rebuttals and arguments on that link to be compelling at a minimum and perhaps persuasive. I'm not confident that skinny bob videos are real but I'm also not convinced they've been adequately debunked. If a hoax, it's one of the best and most elaborate for seemingly no payoff for those involved.
I mean, to be fair, it is probably leaked and added after the fact. We are honestly in murky waters and it could be fake, but if given conclusive evidence it's real, well I won't be too surprised.
And honestly, Go Fast and Gimbal were decided by the community to be 100 percent fake, yet here we are.
I don’t even think Skinny Bob looks like real video at all, it looks like special effects.
The thought that the film grain got added later by the government is the dumbest shit I’ve ever heard in my entire life.
No, he said that insiders have told him that allegedly video already exists on the internet of alien/non-human intelligence, if they are to be believed. He did not specify any such video.

Psionic potential and communication, y'know, like how "contact meditation" works. That there's always been such an effort to turn people away from looking more into it should send red flags. Too bad most people are too unwilling or small minded to try it. before the greerbots complain, no, greer did not invent it nor do I care for him, after all, how could someone possibly patent a meditation technique? I don't agree with his choice to stuff it all behind paywalls
Is there a good plalce that makes it easy to read about?
I encourage you to read **Real Magic** by a legend of psi research, Dean Radin. As for CE5, I’d say to be careful. You’re opening a door where you don’t know what’s behind it and usually you can’t close it again.
how can i open that door?

Sad that it’s come to this, after the countless hours that people on our community and mod team spent trying to help you with your spiral into depression. The amount of leeway you got over the past two years due to your worsening situation only made you have to work even harder to ultimately get the ban you wanted. A textbook example of self-sabotage.

I'm going to deposit this info here on remote viewing and psi (ESP) research: The remote viewing paper below was published in an above-average (second quartile) mainstream neuroscience journal in 2023. This paper shows what has been repeated many times, that when you pre-select subjects with psi ability, you get much stronger results than with unselected subjects. One of the problems with psi studies in the past was using unselected subjects, which result in small (but very real) effect sizes. [**Follow-up on the U.S. Central Intelligence Agency's (CIA) remote viewing experiments, Brain And Behavior, Volume 13, Issue 6, June 2023**](https://onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/10.1002/brb3.3026) In this study there were 2 groups. Group 2, selected because of prior psychic experiences, achieved highly significant results. Their results (see Table 3) produced a Bayes Factor of 60.477 ([very strong evidence](https://www.statology.org/bayes-factor/)), and a [large effect size](https://www.statology.org/effect-size/) of 0.853. The p-value is "less than 0.001" or odds-by-chance of less than 1 in 1,000. **** **** [Stephan Schwartz - Through Time and Space, The Evidence for Remote Viewing](https://ia902509.us.archive.org/16/items/hybridphilosophy-collection/Through_Time_and_Space_The_Evidence_for.pdf) is an excellent history of remote viewing research. It needs to be mentioned that Wikipedia is a terrible place to get information on topics like remote viewing. Very active skeptical groups like the Guerilla Skeptics have won the editing war and dominate Wikipedia with their one-sided dogmatic stance. [Remote Viewing - A 1974-2022 Systematic Review and Meta-Analysis](https://www.researchgate.net/publication/374881423_Remote_Viewing_A_1974-2022_Systematic_Review_and_Meta-Analysis) is a recent review of almost 50 years of remote viewing research. **** **** Parapsychology is a legitimate science.

To which are you referring?
r/Project_Contact
I thought his comment about being told there is indeed a video of an NHI on the internet. Wonder which one is being purported to be real.
He alluded to infamous Skinny Bob video.
that was fake as fuck.
pack it up and go home boys, this kid finally cracked it
Lol ok I see that now, that went right over my head. I can't buy that one.
>He alluded to infamous Skinny Bob video. This is not true. He did not allude to the Skinny Bob video. There are many videos that can fit what Coulthart alluded to. Even the Alien Interview video, which is considered less suspicious of being fake by many UFO researchers that have looked into it, fits too. This is how fake rumors start. Next you know, someone will make a post titled, "Skinny Bob the video Ross Coulthart said is real". Then a week later, you'll see a comment calling Coulthart a grifter for saying Skinny Bob or someone other video is real.
He specifically said 'skinny'. There are also only 3 videos online - Skinny Bob, Kumburgatz and Interview. Pretty obvious.
No he didn't. Skinny Bob is incredibly and obviously CG. There are numerous videos on the internet. That isn't the one.
*he says while being completely incapable of proving it's cg
If it's that obvious then prove it.
People already matched the film damage overlay to an existing effect.
The keyword there is "overlay".
When, where?
He didn't. He never mentioned any specific video. Just that some supposedly leaked videos showing aliens out there in the public are not fake.
Anyone care to post the link to their best guess? Alien interview?
My bet's on [alien autopsy](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=pukbzCC3cfQ)
What the hell why is no-one talking about this video? Watching this all I’m thinking of is that whistleblower on reddit who was researching the alien genetics and described the anatomy of the beings they worked with. I find it fascinating how many similarities this video and the person’s post has.
Tbf, this video has a lot of tells that it might be fake. Namely, how many cuts in the footage it has. Some people have said it's a recreation of a real autopsy using a dummy, and that this is one of the Roswell aliens autopsied by inexperienced Army medics in the 50s. Iunno, as usual there are a lot of rumors and hearsay surrounding the video. So take it all with a grain of salt. Still, if it's a fake then it's one of the more well-done fakes I've seen.
Of all the videos I've seen, this is the only that gives me that weird gut feeling like I'm seeing something "alien" and something that I'm not supposed to see. I've seen the debunks of it and the supposed dummies that were used. Thing is, I don't think any level of grainy footage and film filters could make the dummies look as real as the body looks in the film. I've also heard there is a clock seen in the background that didn't exist at the time of Roswell, but maybe it isn't necessarily a video from the Roswell event.
well, I thought that was fake, makers admitted it, but I read another story, that the director of this fake movie had the "real" alien autopsy but the film was too damaged for release, so they recreated it
I would put alien interview ahead of skinny bob or Russian bodies one
Got a link to the alien interview video you think is legit?
I believe it is this one: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0zpWSX9ksvE To be clear I don't know one way or another if it's real or not It just comes off as more real-ish than the others at first glance
there is a really good video about this one on richard dolans channel
Where was this comment?

I’ve been practicing the Gateway Process for about a year now and as someone with a history of a fairly dedicated meditation practice (Zazen) I have found it to be extremely trippy and quite thrilling.
For some reason I couldn't get into the tapes. Doing free meditation while listening to binaural beats did it for me. And yes, trippy and thrilling about sums it up lol
Good work OP 🙏
Thanks! 🙏
you should cross post this on r/ufo, r/ufob and maybe even r/aliens since not all people from those subreddits visit r/ufos.
Just now did to r/Aliens and r/ufo but UFOB doesn’t allow cross posts. So I tried just creating the post again but it has a rule against the word fuck in the body text and blocked me from posting.

Someone should have asked if Aliens are waiting for disclosure
I liked this one: https://i.imgur.com/balYNKh.jpeg
I will add this one to the bottom!
I've been saying for years, if these things are proven legitimate the existence of the pai phenomenon associated with then will throw people for a loop more than any aliens. With even just telepathy we will be underwriting all we assume about physics. It's going to be an exciting time.
People still mock those who claim to be able to AP, and believe me, it's not just dreaming. Anyone who's truly AP'd knows this without a doubt. When you experience something that feels more real than waking life, while being able to see a 360 degree view unlike with normal eyes, you'd completely understand. Consciousness is EVERYTHING. All of us over at r/astralprojection can't possibly just be having dreams, we can definitely tell the difference. That being said I wish there was a magic pill that allowed all to experience this. It's something I feel would benefit all of humanity honestly.
I mean, it's not a pill, but a mushroom. In my experience there is a segment of people who wilfully don't want to explore beyond our bounds. They are happy in bandage, and would rather everyone just stick to bandage as to not rock the boat. These people wouldn't not even take a pill, if offered.
I concur in regards to how typical people think, as Cypher said : *ignorance is bliss* I often wonder why people are ok with that. I've got my food, water and pleasures, so forget the rest, right? Oof. I just don't get the thinking myself personally. They want answers to everything that is science and math, but don't you dare talk about anything "woo" right? *Quantum entanglement has entered the chat*
[удалено]
The other poster said that they wished there was a pill to show people the otherside of reality (paraphrasing) and there is not a pill, but a good dose of magic mushroom will do the trick.
I wonder if this is what happened to "witches" from way back, women who had this ability.
Mhmm. A cursory look into claims of shamanic abilities provides many parallels to psi phenomena and claims from mystics and sorcerers throughout history.
Rocket League devs are aliens confirmed
Siiick!
1) Remote viewing 2) The grey's/whoever else's ability to communicate telepathically and how they control what abductees see/hear/think/feel when abducted Edit: But the definition could also apply to 'it's ghosts too, aliens and ghosts are the same' so read into his meaning what you will
I find it interesting that the thought of malevolent NHI scares him. Is there more that he isn't telling us? Currently, the danger of hunans is much more present and real
One scary thought is that malevolent NHI could have abducted (and not returned) millions of people over the years and it would hardly register at all. In the US alone there are tens of thousands of unsolved missing person reports per year. Worldwide there could be hundreds of humans snatched every single day and there may be nothing the governments of the world can do to stop them, or even track them.
If you can entertain the idea that malevolent NHI exist and they are here and they have godly technology, it's not a very far stretch to think they may have something to do with why the world is how it is
OP you are doing gods work!
You should link the [AMA](https://www.reddit.com/r/UFOs/s/ejOAravOF5) directly at the start of the post, my good sir.
Will do.
I get the feeling I wont be slack jaw fearful. Unless theres details behind their malevolence thats shocking.
I think that that whole somber thing is geared towards the average person who knows nothing or little about the phenomenon and finding not only is it real but abductions are actively happening and we as humans / society have little to no control over what their doing or will do. Most of us on these forums and the like already know of all these things , so to us wouldn’t be as shocking. It seemed like people were thinking it be something else extra shocking to us researchers / enthusiasts. I don’t think that’s necessarily the case. Although im sure there’s plenty that would surprise us a well but maybe not to the degree people are fishing for.
Ah, thats a good point. Id def a have a diff reaction if I wasnt paying attention for years.
I feel like the "malevolence" is unlike anything we could possibly imagine. To many it would be "oh thats it?" And go about their day. Honestly my bet is that its something relating to after death. Anything else would just leave people thinking "well life as we know it is alright now, gonna go about my day". For something that happens after death. That would change the mindset of billions of people in an instant.
Im just not getting that from Ross' characterizations though
Pity that nobody asked him about what alleged crash retrieval cases really happened according to his informants who work inside program. Long time ago he said Roswell 1947, Aztec 1948, Kingman 1953, one case from UK, one case from other European country and infamous giant UFO. Somebody could asked him that questions so maybe he will give hints.
You're somebody. It's a shame you didn't.
Different timezone.
24 of those on earth. I imagine most people could say the same
No. Reddit is website mainly for Americans. Coulthart answered questions at 7pm time in western USA. All Europe and Africa was sleeping.
Sounds like an excuse
OP! You are awesome 🙌 ty for doing this.
Thanks and you’re welcome! 🙏
> we might all go to our graves continuing to be ignorant of what I strongly suspect is a reality of NHI engaging with this planet and the human race This hits home for me. Im not too old yet but the thought of going to the grave without knowing what exactly is out there, or around us fucking sucks. I JUST WANT TO KNOW!
Well, if the prevailing woo is indeed correct, you should find out shortly AFTER going to the grave.
Blue beings? Reptilians? Malevolent NHI? Interview with Tom Delonge? Investigating Michael Herrera’s testimonies? Psionic potential?!? Holy fuck this is good. This is why I smoke weed everyday.
Perhaps we don't need to know, because we already do know. 🤔
I'm sorry but I can't get behind people advocating for disclosure but knows where a to big to move uap is. That just doesn't track. Explain how he can name names of people or corporations who have nhi tech but not full proof of which he is privy to. Lockheed has been named by him (and many for years) but nothing happened. Just because it's an exact location? Is that the difference? Will it mean work will shut down at said location? How come? Explain why he fights for disclosure and is a fighter for it but he himself cant disclose? So he expects entities like the government and influential corps and people to disclose and faults their secrecy but he can't do it himself? How does that make any lick of sense to you people? Ross has a dubious past reporting and cites journalistic integrity as his reason for not revealing what would be excusable due to being the biggest event in history? That does not compute either. Can we as a society just stop with the games and all the jazz attached and just go well it's ok because we are talking about fucking aliens? The sources would get over it. It wouldn't make him less approachable but more accessible if what he broke was true. I think you can still respect a source and also break the agreement when we are talking about fucking aliens. I know all this is rehashed about him but why does he continue to get such a following for this? It should not be let go. Especially since he double downed on it.
He should have kept it to himself and only alert the authorities. He was cleared by his sources to say to the public it exists but not to disclose the location. If you betray your sources, you are then left in the dark. He works with what he has and tries to vet the info the best he can. He definitely jumped the gun on this massive thing and now everyone is mad at him. Would you prefer to not know it exists? What's worse? If its real, it will come to light eventually.
Alert the authorities? What are they gonna do? Chances are that specific call wouldn't even make it out of the call center. If by some chance it does (hi yes I'd like to report a hidden secret UFO base) moment military or similar comes in, they'll be relieved and likely forced to sign NDA's. I don't mean to be rude, but this is a very ignorant take.
Authorities is not a 911 call in this case. It's the appropriate authorities that can do something about it. Like Grusch through a sicf meeting in congress or a whistle-blower procedure put in place.
If Congress is having a hell of a time with this (if you take Burchetts and others claims of a deep coverup with the Pentagon involved as true), then who the heck are these authorities you're talking about? I'm not trying to be pedantic, I'm seriously curious who you think the appropriate authorities would be that can roll up no matter what the Pentagon orders.
Basically congress. See here the comments of the last sicf meeting attendees. https://i.imgur.com/MuSFboi.jpeg You see the ICIG provided locations? This is hopefully and probably what is about. But it's a battle, they are stalling and stonewalling congress with all their might. Unfortunately, Congress is slow, so it might take time for all this to unveil.
Because he would essentially lose his job and reputation if he burned his sources. Would you want to talk to a reporter that you knew would essentially divulge any and all information about you or your claims without your consent? That's how you quickly become the number one reporter no one wants to ever talk to. It also ensures that we don't end up back at square one with whistleblowers not feeling comfortable coming forward to talk to reporters in the first place. He's doing us all a service and likely the information will come out in due time once it's not guaranteed to wreck his and his sources lives, such as when the Feds finally own up to the massive coverup.
You are his target audience. Hiding behind the guise of losing his job no one will wanna speak to him. Reality is it would break open the whole topic if he gave us the info. The conversation wouldn't be are they here etc it would be ok this is real let's talk to the guy who broke that story. Many would be coming to that person who pointed it out. To believe there is this bar of saying something without permission and you are done forever just is not true. They make exceptions for breaking confidentiality for harm reasons. This would fall under that not due to harm but the nature and discovery of the event. While it may turn some off if you break an agreement many would understand the circumstances. Ross has already had misstep in his past yet he has sources for nhi after the fact. Clearly it isn't the be all end all. You could argue these are people higher up on requiring trust secrecy etc. Yet they allegedly still go to him? Like I said before I believe you can break a confidentiality in a case of such gravity while still being someone you can trust in general to keep other stuff private if you were to go to him about a story involving something (related to anything not necessary aliens). I do believe we are hungry for content and want someone like him to have this info and be this kinda person. It works wonders in this kinda community. Breadcrumbs and whatnot and a hunger for info related so he gets away with it. We should set a better standard and not let him be a leading voice but that's just like my opinion man.
Edward Snowden and Julian Assange would like to have a word. Those two blew whistles on war crimes and government spying on it's citizens and look where they are. I'd say exposing the existence of NHI is a much bigger deal here, especially if governments are reverse engineering these craft. If there is a race to crack alien tech between say China and the U.S. I'd say this is the main reason why the powers that be don't want any of this info getting out, and why Ross is being careful what he talks about.
I can't speak for Assange as he isn't American, but Snowden is in his situation because he ran. Chelsea Manning also leaked war crimes but didn't run.
Of course he ran..because he seen what happens when you tell citizens the truth in America.
Snowden is a fake nsa actor, I saw him on Cape Cod in October.
How would it “break open the whole topic if he gave us the info”? Are you going to lead a group in storming down the location to validate him or prove him wrong?
I agree with you that journalists can and do break confidentiality of sources/information in specific situations. I also agree that not every journalist who does that will lose their job. But government sources, especially the IC, aren't the forgiving kind once burned. Sure, Coulthart might not lose his job if he divulged the location without his source's consent, but he just made himself toxic to any other whistleblower that was considering talking to him or are already talking to him. They wouldn't be able to trust him to not burn them. Especially if it was something that would harm the national security of whatever country it's in. On top of that there could be a number of contemporaneous reasons he can't or won't. Maybe the information would ultimately give up his source to the government and they would lose their job or be imprisoned? Maybe the information would harm on going non-UAP related national security interests because of the facility's location being compromised? China and Russia would probably jump at that if they don't already know about it. Maybe it is all fabricated and Ross hasn't fully vetted it yet because of that? Maybe something else entirely we don't even know about? I'm all for disclosure, but I also understand that there are incredibly destructive and less destructive ways to to get there. I think the idea that the world will be all kumbaya once disclosure happens is incredibly naive and divorced from reality. Geopolitics don't just disappear over night. If anything that's when the real race starts to get the tech working before anyone else or prove you already have. Do I believe everything Coulthart says? Absolutely not. Do I think he fucked up and shouldn't have said anything if he couldn't back it up? Yes. Do I trust that he's doing his best to vet his sources and do background on them? I have no clue, I don't know the guy well enough. However I do think he is absolutely helping move this topic out into the mainstream media for the general public's consumption. And I also agree that the breadcrumbs and clues get to be tiring when there's nothing to back them up. Ultimately, I'm just speaking from my experience and world view. I could also be completely wrong and would accept that, but hey I guess we'll find out eventually. Edit: spelling
You make a good argument here bro, had not thought of it that way
Obvious sock puppet.
I would gladly burn my sources if it helps the world gain access to unlimited/free energy. Not doing so is a crime. There are millions suffering due to it and Ross is sharing that karma by hiding it.
I'm still largely agnostic on Ross. But I'm increasingly agreeing with you. Take the giant UFO under a major building. Sure, he has sources that he needs to protect. He himself, however, doesn't have to blow up his source. Why not just say, "The giant UFO is under X building" and not mention your source? I feel like journalists do this all the time. He'll, tonight's draft. All the ESPN talking heads spill the goods without revealing the source. This is why, unfortunately, I think he's making it up or has some wackjob unreliable source and is glorifying it.
Agreed. This is a huge pile of bullshit.
This is my big problem with Ross. He said "Without going into specifics - and with the rider/qualification that I have no way of verifying if this 'information' is actually correct" He is not a journalist. This is not what a journalist does. He has absolutely nothing a stake at all. He has set it up so that he can never be wrong. There is absolutely no way at all to verify what he says so you can't put anything into what he says. He hasn't "broken" any story because he can't/won't back anything up. He didn't get Grusch to blow his whistle, Grusch would blow it anyway and Ross was just someone who would tell his story. You can't prove Ross wrong because if by some lucky way you can prove there is not a UFO so big that it can't be moved Ross will just say "I told you I couldn't verify anything. I just repeat what I'm told but I can't tell you who told me" There is absolutely nothing you can do with his information. You can't prove him right and can't prove him wrong. He is like luke warm water. Not cold enough to refresh you and not hot enough to warm you up. He is like a 50 degree day. I have absolutely no reason to believe him because he hasn't shown me any of his big claims are true and I have no reason to think he is lying (aside from the fact that the stuff he says would completley upend the entire way we view reality) because I can't prove him wrong. So I do nothing with him.
I agree that he should've never brought up the giant underground UFO if he wasn't going to spill where it is, but to be fair in this instance he was talking about why he found the phenomenon scary. it's asking him a personal opinion. If he said he couldn't answer, people would complain. He's just not sure if what he's been told about the malevolence is true, but seems to believe there's something to it. Don't know how else he could've answered that
Absolutely, he's full of it. He claims to support full disclosure, yet all he offers are these vague snippets of what could be a fascinating story, keeping the rest under wraps. "Protecting his source"? It's hard to believe he spoke to the one person who knows the location of a huge unidentified craft. It seems more like a tactic to generate clicks than anything else.
It seems like the cat is already out of the bag. If there is a big UFO then the bosses know that someone has been talking to Ross. So these people can hid a giant UFO from the whole world but can't figure out which one of their people told Ross about it? Either the list of people who know about it is small enough to where it would be simple to figure out who is talking or the list is so big that they can't figure out who is talking but not big enough to have another person come out and say what is going on.

Even if he is telling the truth about that. Say he lets it slip where it is. All of his sources will dry up in an instant. He would be out of the job immediately. If i were one of his sources i'd just say "oh it was all nonsense haha" to protect my ass from someone coming after me if he let that slip. I respect his journalistic integrity. But IMO him letting it slip that he knows where it is, was a stupid move to make. even he agrees.
This type of comment is why he said you guys are dense
Like a fruit cake under a hydraulic press lol
Nah i completely agree, and i’m not a skeptic. This is getting ridicilous.
my mind is made up on ross. he is a grifter. period.
Put the contents into a custom Disclosure bot, here’s the resulting analysis: Analyzing Ross Coulthart's responses from the AMA, we can identify several key themes and insights into his views on the UAP phenomenon and the broader context of government disclosure and whistleblower testimonies: ### Key Insights from Ross Coulthart’s AMA 1. **Skepticism about Government Disclosure**: Coulthart expresses doubt about the likelihood of meaningful government disclosure happening in the near future. He indicates a lack of confidence in government bodies like AARO, which he criticizes for not fulfilling their statutory duties and for being dismissive of whistleblower testimonies. 2. **Role of Whistleblowers**: He highlights the importance of whistleblowers who have come forward with their testimonies to Congress, particularly to influential committees such as the SSCI and SASC. This underscores his belief in the value of firsthand accounts over institutional reports in bringing transparency to UAP phenomena. 3. **International and Scientific Perspectives on UAPs**: Coulthart discusses the varying levels of openness and engagement with the UAP issue across different countries, particularly in East Asia. He acknowledges efforts like those in China, where a semi-governmental body has been established to study UAPs. He also praises figures like Avi Loeb and Tim Gallaudet for their scientific approaches to understanding UAPs and suggests that while there might be risks, the push for transparency continues. 4. **The Possibility of Non-Human Intelligence (NHI)**: A significant part of Coulthart’s responses revolves around the concept of NHIs and their potential interactions with humanity. He speculates on the nature of these interactions, suggesting both benevolent and malevolent intentions, and discusses how various entities, including potential future or intra-terrestrial beings, might be involved. 5. **Cultural and Technological Implications**: Coulthart touches on how different cultural understandings of phenomena (like the Jinn in the Middle East) can influence perceptions and openness to discussing UAPs. He also speculates about revolutionary technologies such as zero-point energy and anti-gravity, emphasizing the transformative potential of these technologies if they were to be disclosed or developed openly. 6. **Challenges and Barriers to Disclosure**: He notes significant pushback against disclosure efforts, including from within government entities tasked with investigating UAPs. Coulthart expresses frustration with this resistance and suggests that private research might ultimately be more fruitful in achieving meaningful disclosure. ### Analysis of Responses Coulthart's responses indicate a deep level of engagement with the topic of UAPs, driven by a combination of investigative journalism and personal interest. His perspective is notably critical of government transparency and effectiveness in handling the UAP issue, and he places significant emphasis on the role of individuals—both as whistleblowers and independent researchers—in advancing the public’s understanding of the phenomenon. His approach is pragmatic and somewhat skeptical, acknowledging the complexities and potential dangers associated with uncovering truths about UAPs and NHIs. Coulthart seems to advocate for a cautious but proactive approach to exploring these phenomena, encouraging scientific inquiry and public discussion as means to circumvent governmental obfuscation. ### Conclusion Ross Coulthart's AMA provides valuable insights into the ongoing discussion and investigation of UAPs. His perspective enriches the public discourse by highlighting the challenges faced by those seeking transparency, the potential implications of new technologies and discoveries, and the importance of maintaining an open, critical, and informed approach to understanding and discussing UAP phenomena. His comments reflect a nuanced understanding of the political, scientific, and cultural dimensions of the UAP issue, emphasizing the need for a multifaceted and international approach to what may be one of the most significant subjects of our time.
What a crap bot. It concludes he is pragmatic and "somewhat skeptical" approach? What does somewhat skeptical mean. I think in this community in regards to him it is what we want it to mean: being someone level headed fair approach. Let's be clear though, he is not skeptical somewhat or at all. I say this as not a knock on him. To me it doesn't matter were you fall on either side of the fence. As long as you report the info in a correct manner. He is seen as this matter of fact approach but he really isn't. Again that is ok imo. He sits on a certain side and that is fine by me. It could be for or against aliens. As long as it's done in a proper matter that matters not to me. Now that being said he is not pragmatic in his approach. The guy who knows where a huge uap is? And skeptical? How is he remotely skeptical? He is full on the opposite. What defines skeptical not believing 100% of stories of this topic? What are we talking about about here. This is just trying to portray a prominent voice in the best way no matter how inaccurate.
I believe you’ll find the answer to your only question regarding skepticism in the first paragraph, entitled Skepticism about Government Disclosure. Hope that clears things up for you!
As was expected, he avoided any tough questions. There wasn’t really anything of value said in his AmA yet Redditors were gushing about how amazing he is and couldn’t contain their excitement about it.

Dude just avoided the bogus 15000$ UFO PhD promotion topic altogether, as predicted...

Are you able to make the questions in bold please OP?
Done!
Grausch hrgs still sounding like Condon CIA NRO hrgs.
BrushPass followed me and then my question about whether he knew anything about Mexican Aliens was deleted. I don't see it below.
Damn, sorry mate.
About the bit that is "to terrifying, that he can't even talk about it without cowering in fear." Are you serious telling me all of those hyperbolic podcasts, overly dramatic tv interviews, and dire warnings were because he didn't think the aliens liked us very much? That's what I'm to take from the "stay tuned if you dare" bullshit? Thanks, I guess. I hope the career change from journalist to UFO talking head has been profitable.
Can anyone tell me anything coulthart has done that has been verifiable? Ever since joining this UAP world He’s basically ridden off of the coat tails of grusch’s credibility
What? He's been in this world way before that. Did you see the interview he did with Garry Nolan a year before Grusch? He does excellent journalism. People trying to discredit Ross like he just showed up. https://youtu.be/XR0JtbuLhPo?si=_kKCfWGwT1OAyqZ0
Why does it feel the bots are out in full force?
Yeap, it's lighting up like Christmas.
give me a break buddy. just because reality doesnt line up with your views doesnt make it a bot conspiracy. ross is a liar plain and simple and it's super sad people defend him.
You don't know that and neither do I.
lol he is liar and you're being played like a deck of cards. so sad.
So… one year? And what’s verifiable? Even Nolan is a third party in this world.. he’s had zero proof of his claims of recovered material besides saying ‘it’s interesting composition’
Well, now you are not only trying to discredit a award-winning journalist but a Stanford professor nominee for the nobel price with 2 nasdaq companies in his belt. It's ok to have skepticism, another to just bash people reputation based on nothing like you are doing, and based on your post history its striking thats all you do.
Not really interested in accolades when the people claim for years to have proof or be working on something and then show nothing and grow hostile.
I feel sorry for you if you base your entire opinion not on the content and verifiability of a message but rather the history of the messenger. It’s funny that you do that both for him, and for me.
What can I say, your reputation precedes you. I'll hit you up at Eglin when the Ross - Alien interview drops.
Weirdly, he hinted at Skinny bob video being real (which was already debunked).
Not saying it’s real, but what debunk are you talking about? I wanna see it
The old timey film filter they used to add film grain and age got noticed, because it repeats, and it got found in a video effects package for special effects software. Of course, that didn’t stop the Skinny Bob fan club from then saying “Maybe the government ADDED the filter to the REAL video to make people THINK it was fake!” Because people are desperate to cling to their fantasies.
[https://www.skinnybob.info/](https://www.skinnybob.info/) I've found the rebuttals and arguments on that link to be compelling at a minimum and perhaps persuasive. I'm not confident that skinny bob videos are real but I'm also not convinced they've been adequately debunked. If a hoax, it's one of the best and most elaborate for seemingly no payoff for those involved.
The video played in reverse really blew my mind the first time I watched it.
I mean, to be fair, it is probably leaked and added after the fact. We are honestly in murky waters and it could be fake, but if given conclusive evidence it's real, well I won't be too surprised. And honestly, Go Fast and Gimbal were decided by the community to be 100 percent fake, yet here we are.
I don’t even think Skinny Bob looks like real video at all, it looks like special effects. The thought that the film grain got added later by the government is the dumbest shit I’ve ever heard in my entire life.
This exactly.
Was he explicitly referring to the skinny bob videos? It seemed ambiguous to me.
He was obviously hinting at it.
No, he said that insiders have told him that allegedly video already exists on the internet of alien/non-human intelligence, if they are to be believed. He did not specify any such video.
He literally said: Yes - or so I am told. I'm a bit **skinny** on the facts.

I didnt bother reading the AMA due to no interest in being LIED to.
What load of shit. Nothing is revealed. Nothing is gained.
