- Avi Loeb is perhaps the most respected and credentialed academic taking a fact-based, scientific approach to the question of UFOs. Ross Coulthart engages him in a wide-ranging conversation about his work, his discoveries, and what’s next as science seeks to answer that existential question: are we alone in the universe?
Host: Ross Coulthart
Executive Producer: Andy Gipson
Senior Producers: Sam Adelman, Joe Ward, Emily Lambert
Producer: Caroline Pearson
Editor: John Nock
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.

A real journalist with a real scientist, both great men in my eyes, keep up the great work you both are doing for humanity
*LOL*
Outside of UAP’s what would you say is Avi’s greatest contribution to science?
And Ross, what from his body of work outside of UAP’s, do you feel informed you the most?………
To me, they both seem like a couple of grifters…….
See above for another “hard working” “blogger” giving his “humble” evaluation.
Listening to the critics gives them power…
💯
One of the biggest critics of Dr. Loeb’s work is Neil D. Tyson who himself doesn’t do any experiments, isn’t a scientist in any sense of the word, sits on a podcast and Twitter all day and criticizes other people’s work and experiments all while providing 0 contributions to the scientific community.
He also can't have a conversation without interrupting, talking over, or shouting down the other person. He's way too full of himself too.
So a liberal? 🤣🤣🤣
Neil is too busy becoming a TV celeb
This comment is stupid on its face. He’s absolutely a scientist, works as a scientist, and has a PhD to prove it.
And yes, Liberals tend to be more educated and harder working.
Just another Bill Nye Tv scientist
This is ABSOLUTE GOLD!!!
Thanks News Nation for this brilliant series. 2 great champions who are not afraid to find and tell the truth. Ross and Avi Loeb are a great podcast combo 👍👍👍
Perfectly stated sir..
Avi Loeb is a legendary trailblazer.. great interview Ross! 👍
"The critics kick enough dust up in the air to claim they can't see anything."
SPOT ON, AVI!! This has been the case since the Aurora crash. Please keep doing what you're doing. I already know you're smart enough to NOT listen to the critics! -Cole
If this is true, then why can’t Avi present a little more than coal from the bottom of the ocean…..?
Why doesn’t Avi share with other scientists his incredible discoveries? Publish papers on the subject?
@@FraserJohnstone1 Alright, imagine this: Avi Loeb is like a modern-day treasure hunter, but instead of looking for gold or jewels, he's searching for tiny pieces of interstellar "magic" at the bottom of the ocean. Now, when people say, "Why can't he show us more than just coal from the ocean floor?" it's a bit like asking, "Why doesn't the treasure hunter show us more than just a piece of shiny rock?"
Here's why Avi is doing everything by the book and sharing his discoveries in the right way:
Publishing Papers: Avi Loeb and his team are scientists, and in the science world, sharing discoveries means publishing papers. Just like showing your work in school, scientists write detailed reports called papers, which explain what they found and how they found it. Avi has done this and continues to do so. These papers get reviewed by other scientists to make sure everything checks out before being published.
Sharing Samples: Sharing the spherules (those tiny droplets) with other scientists is a bit like sharing your favorite toy. You wouldn't just give it away to everyone because it’s precious and you need to study it carefully first. Avi and his team have shared their findings with multiple labs around the world for analysis, ensuring they get the best possible results from various experts.
Funding and Resources: Think of the expedition to find these spherules as a big adventure that costs a lot of money. Avi needs to make sure the research is thorough and well-funded. If he just handed out samples to everyone, it would be like giving away your treasure without having enough to complete your quest.
Step-by-Step Process: In science, discoveries take time. First, you find the "treasure" (spherules). Then, you study it carefully, write about it, and share your findings. This process ensures that the information is accurate and credible. Avi is doing all of this to make sure his discoveries are rock-solid before sharing them widely.
So, next time someone questions why Avi can't just show everything right away, remember that science is like a big, exciting adventure. It takes time, careful study, and sharing in the right way to make sure everyone can trust the treasure they've found.
And don't worry, Avi is on it-he's sharing his incredible discoveries with the world, one step at a time!
@@FraserJohnstone1 My god... its not coal... You really seem to have alot to say on him but clearly no idea what really is even going on. Why is that? You are in every comment yet you clearly only have the most superficial denouncement of his work despite that knowingly not being true. Curious.
@@seditt5146 Great thanks for the comment! 😃
@@FraserJohnstone1 YW . Now care to explain why you keep regurgitating long disproven debunks in every other comment on this video or should we all just assume you glow in the dark.
These two educated professionals having an intelligent, polite, and sensible conversation about this topic gives me hope. Well done NN, and thank you both for pointing your lenses at this.
Miracle
Gives you hope for what bro the world is fkd there’s no hope.
I’ve listened to hours upon hours of Avi Loeb’s interviews, and this one is the best. Ross always asks the best questions!
I'm really digging these Reality Check things. As a journalist myself I can really appreciate this simplistic style that takes on a interesting topics. Good on you @newsnation.
If it's a reality check for everyone caught up in ancient alien nonsense then it's a good thing. Is that what he's doing being a good journalist?

Having been a working print journalist covering science, technogy and public policy, in the 80s, 90s a little thereafter, i greatly value and and admire Ross Coulthart, his work and dependability, and his ability to defuse and tranlate complex topics into language and concepts that most people can understand. A very rare skill. Kudos to Ross, and to NewsNation for giving him a wider platform.
In an age when journalism has succumbed to corporate monetization, and topics & coverage are given only the exposure allowed by the needed commercial breaks, Ross Coulthart has single-handedly resurrected the profession, and elevated it back to the level of trust and unbiased information old farts like myself always expected. Thanks, Ross! And thank you, Avi Loeb for pursuing scientific inquiry in a rigorous, peer-reviewed fashion to address the most important story in human history.
Beautifully said
Rather than even giving it the honor of calling it corporate journalism call it for what it is….propaganda.
I love this. Brilliant Journalism from Ross in bringing attention to what’s actually going on.
Ross The Boss Coulthard. Making us Aussies proud! 🇦🇺
Speak for yourself.
He's a Kiwi educated at Victoria University actually
Actually….Ross Coulthart was born in the UK. He later moved along with his family to New Zealand and enrolled at the Victoria University of Wellington, where he graduated with a law degree. He then moved to Australia, where he started his career as a journalist. (Wikipedia)
Still an Aussie now
@@Kay-nl7ptNo he's a Possie-Kiwi
Many many followers & fans here in USA are proud to admire & love Ross Coulthart and most of us see him as an Aussie! He is a world treasure. Wonderful investigating journalist, author, interviewer, UFO/UAP researcher, TV personality, etc., etc. IMO no one could have done better interview with David Grusch than Ross. …. And he is easy on eyes and ears with delightful accent.
Ross Coulthart rocks!❤️🌎
THIS SHOULD BE ON ALL NEWS ALL OF THE
WORLD
Thanks for covering this topic. Keep it going Ross!
Really good interview! Who ever came up with the idea for Ross to
Take questions from the public, Should get a raise! 🔥
Avi Loeb has such a good heart ❤ also, thank you for asking about Haim!!
Avi is the man! I second that about the arm chair critics!
This is the only the second time I've heard Haim Eshed discussed in like 4 years. Someone who made such a statement should be interviewed.
Agreed 👍🏻
I hope they will pull his number out the hat at the right time
A proper Journalist with a guest who is a real free-thinking Mensch. Bravo to them both.
It's so refreshing to hear real intelligent people who know what they are talking about and not BS talk! Thank you Mr. Ross Coulthart and Mr. Avi Loeb !
I will never forget my first UFO sighting which was a close encounter of the first kind, during the summer of 1998. I was with two friends buying some food in the grocery store. As we left the shop, to head home. We noticed a UFO hovering around an old waste land site next to the block of flats where my friend lived. We all said that's a UFO. It looked very technically advanced. Dark grey silver disc matalic shaped object with orange lights and black linings underneath. No sound. No windows. No proplostion system. No wings. No engine. Then it just hovered off. After seeing that we all knew, that did not look like any type of human technology. That was something else.
Then you woke up 😅
@@politicallyincorrect2564. So just because you never experienced it, means it never happened. This is how small your sceptical brain is. Remember I was with two other people. So did we share the same dream. Just because you are scared of the unknown. It doesn't mean that my experience never happened.
You have expressed three of the seven observables. Can you recall more of your physical location and DTG? What was occurring around you, atmospheric disturbances, air density, electrical charge within the air.
That was a particularly good one, Ross. I could have kept on listening for another hour. It contained good questions that you asked Avi Loeb. And...He answered them.
Best interview of Avi I’ve ever watched. Ross, your questions were brilliant!
Thank You Ross Coulthart and Thank You Professor Avi Loeb, for your great Work. It is very much appreciated. Please stay on the Topic and keep us Updated, along the Way. You (both) are Hero´s.
We can´t thank the both of You, enough. The best Investigative Journalist and the best Scientist from the University of Harvard, we could not wish for more. Greetings, from Germany.
Best interview with Avi I've seen yet! Bruce's passing is, among other things, a huge loss to the Ufo research community. Ross, you're among the very top names in our study of the Phenomenon! 👽
My aunty who lives in Kaikoura still swears about that event, she tells me that everybody's cameras up at the view point all malfunctioned at once, then I had my own UFO experience in Christchurch (the next town/city over) and I've believed every word she says ever since. Truly a special event
Mum was in Waimate as a teenager around this time and remembers walking to school with a friend and seeing half a dozen lights dancing around the sky. Like they were playing with each other. There are plenty of other UFO stories throughout NZ going back to the 1800s.
Hi, when was this incident... seems like very interesting!!
@@deepikakumar8090 Late 1978. Search online for Kaikoura Lights.
@@deepikakumar8090 a few months after the Christchurch earthquake, me my best friend and his whole family all witnessed this for about 3-4 minutes, very similar to the phoenix lights minus the triangular shape, initial large object with a white light at each end (absolutely massive if it wasnt just above his house, hard to tell because it was silent) then followed shortly by 5 red/orange much smaller orbs of light following in the same path at the same speed, we watched it till it was out of sight. Feel very lucky
“Dogged, courageous and contrarian”… now I’m in love! ❤
Thank you, Ross and Dr Loeb!
Ross - a professional interview like your style is necessary for Dr. Jonathan Reed. He is available and even was on a recent podcast one year ago. He should be interviewed by Ross before he is too old. Note that he offered his story to Congress but apparently they did not select him for anything.. he has a story from the 90s that includes potential washing and covering like what happened with Bob Lazar and definitely deserves a proper interview from Ross.
So grateful for both Avi and Ross for their open minded & curious attitudes towards their work. Thank you 🙏
I love Avis's enthusiasm. His intellect is astounding - but it's his passion for what he does that captures me most. And Ross... as always... great work mate.
You both a hero to me keep up the good work
My 2 fave UAP guys!! 😍😍 They are the most down to earth & direct in their speech, & they have the BEST accents. 😂❤
I’m one of those “impatient people on social media”!😂😂
I NEED to know & I WANT to know NOW!!😂👍👍
Don’t come at me Ross!!😂😂 I know why!!
🇦🇺
I love this show. Good ole gun shoe investigative reporting and objective journalism. Also, they have the courage to go after the most challenging topics. Well done all the way around!
Jean Claude Juncker- president of the European Commission also mentioned in statements about beings who watch us from afar- the establishment knows a lot.. question is?- Why do they feel the average human should not learn of this??
Was he drunk when he said it? 😂 the man is a drunkard.
The only thing i disagree with that Avi said was about the tennis ball. The neighbour might not play tennis, they may have a dog. Dogs like tennis balls
Love this
So do you, since you leave this same Post on every Avi Loeb interview. You wear your bias on your sleeve.
Dog like ball. Dog chase ball.
Do not throuw the Nuclear Tennisball! He will bring it allways back to you.
Thank you Ross for covering this topic 🙏 🙌
Solid as always Ross! Keep pushing brother.
What an interesting guy! The Professor has such a way of delivering his thoughts and theories.
How dare those people! Professor Gary Nolan and Arvi Loeb are my favourite people. Such exciting information, thank you.😊
Both these guys are awsome
Hello ,Ross, and Avi ,from Niagara falls Canada 🍁
Ross I must say that I have been watching your videos for a little while! I must say that I missed a lot ? Why do I say that is easy I hear and understand what is happening and it is because of your actions and Reporting ! Great job and please keep it up! Thanks again! Jim
Would love to have Garry Nolan with these two.
Love Avi and his passion. His science is a bit out there, but who knows...
Brilliant interview. Thanks Ross & Avi!
What I loved most about this interview is how Ross allowed Avi to answer the questions in depth and without interruption...Well done!...
I remember that New Zealand UFO report from 1978! I think it was shown on Mike Willasee's program? I was only 8 years old but was really interested in this story and saw it on TV here in Australia. Then the Valentich story right near my place!
Hey Ross here's something I'd love for you to look into, Around this time the Don Lane Show (Channel 9) had a story on someone who came out from the USA (not sure who that was?) to talk about Fredrick Valentich's disappearance and wanted an armed escort with him at all times if he was going to be on the Don Lane Show they claimed to have knowledge on what happened to him and i vaguely remember them saying it involved something to do with Pine Gap! I bet that footage has disappeared from Channel 9's vault like the news reports from 1966 about the Westall sighting have! 👽
I love this man.He is very smart,sharp,intelligent, thrifty, and Very thorough.
I’ve really been enjoying this show with Ross and the fascinating guests so far.
I loved the show, as always. Thanks to all concerned! Dr. Loeb is a truly inspiring person, and I'm glad to know that there are people in the scientific world that are still interested in pursuing science with an open -minded and intrepid attitude, rather than with smugly doctrinaire prejudice. I wish him all the best in his studies and discoveries, and I look forward to hearing about whatever he uncovers next.
I can't help adding one more comment and it is this:
If we get away from the more primitive religious narratives in which the earth is believed to be a created "thing" apart from God, and look instead to the cosmology of the Hindus and their sister religions, we encounter a far more sophisticated and fascinating approach to existence, creation, and the natures of God and humanity.
In the Hindu world view, especially in the philosophy of Advaita Vedanta, we see that this entire cosmos, which western science tends to view as a purely material phenomenon, is actually a function of CONSCIOUSNESS, rather than a collection of inert materials. We see a cosmos that is essentially a dreamlike process taking place in the mind of God, with consciousness permeating every fiber of reality, and with humanity existing as vessels of divine consciousness experiencing a temporary illusion of separateness.
If I had the time and freedom to become a scientist myself, it is consciousness itself that I would study, for it is in the phenomenon of consciousness that I believe all of the secrets of reality are to be revealed. I just had to put that out there.
All the best, and blessings to Ross and to all the people who make Reality Check possible! --N
So beautifully said. What you write is intriguing and rings true to me. I’m going to research about it. Have u checked out Bigelow Institute for Consciousness? Interesting too!
I believe Mr Loeb was read into the Vatican, Not only is he stellar smart but as a teacher he knows how to connect to the sources of information that only wise men can call upon. He might as well be Italian he has common sense above all (I am Italian). The Pope and his council will talk to Mr. Loeb. So he starts with a base of facts and adds his expertise to the subject matter.He knows exactly with pin point accuracies where to look who to ask and then deliver the message with humble humility... Thank you for your continued reporting on this topic Ross I am A fan. Joe S..
The Vatican doesn't share their information with outsiders. When was the last time they contributed anything to the advancement of common knowledge? 80-100 years ago? The Vatican is entering another repressive phase in relation to science, and we are all lucky that they aren't as powerful as they were for their last few.
Joey look up Allies Of Humanity 👍
@@psaunder1975 🤙
Have you read many of Avi’s papers?
Fantastic Prof Avi Loeb, we love your books- keep spreading the science and curiosity ✨and thank you for this interview and broadcast Ross Coulthart.We the People, thank you for your studies and imagine if we could extend the hand of friendship to our interstellar family and evolve in peace and Consciousness.
Love Ross, he reminds me of Mr Britass from 'The Britass Empire'. Great questions.
I like Avi’s comment about the Raven and the eagle … well said that man 🦅
Thank you and Much Love from the Philippines.
Great show from two men whom I respect greatly. You know, I'm an old guy but I have always been a sky watcher. As such, I have seen more than one anomaly. Some have been backed up by, for one, a TV show, sighting that I witnessed in 1974 and as I watched a TV show called Sightings on reruns, a story was on that was one of the sightings that I saw. We were in Fort Stewart from Fort Bragg on tank gunnery. Me and about five other guys saw this thing and we joked about it being a UFO. It was 2001 when I saw the show and put it all together. I've seen others as well, but no proof. The one thing that I have to say that is important to me is that no scientist can be called that if they have a closed mind to any possibility concerning unknown issues. That is what I love about Avi Loeb.
I wasn't aware of Bruce's passing. What a great loss. He was legit!!! Avi is also a great scientist. Great program Ross. I watch them all mate. 👍👍
Paul Hellyer- ex defence minister of Canada said pretty much the same thing... too much smoke for there not to be some truth behind it all
he was a crackpot too
You’re the man Ross! Keep it up
Excellent interview, top notch guest and host. Interesting insights. Congratulations
One point to make clear is that the Church back then did not appreciated the work of Copernicus and thanked him but actually suppressed his work and banned him out of the Church which after he died in sorrow. His work was leaked in the 19th century and was not published as Prof. Loeb claims. That is a pro-religious statement. I am sorry to say that in a straight way.
That was the best interview AVI ever did thanks to you ROSS......great work!
It's such a pleasure to see such a good reporter, thank you!
Such a great program Ross, your doing important work in this space, and people trust you. Bravo.
Avi is a fantastic and curious scientist, such a good human.
Keep up the good fight, for both truth and transparency.
If reality check means time to get a grip about interdimensional beings from another galaxy or crop circle portals then good. Because its what the world needs
Avi and Ross… the best of humanity.
I would like to see Ross Interview the Israeli General they Mentioned . These guys need to be interviewed as some are getting old .
He is 91 years old so I doubt he is sane 😅
Thank you for your channel. Awesome work!
Ross must of read my tweet about bringing Avi Loeb on LOL all jokes aside please bring Chris Bledsoe snr cheers Ross and news nation
Thanks for the update!
Ross, you're a great journalist, and Ari is the kind of scientist we need to get to the truth. Keep up the great work. We will follow you!
Bless you both!
An interview with Danny Sheehan would be of great interest!!
He’s already done an interview with Sheehan it was very good too!!
A couple of months ago.
It was a beauty 👍
Ross is the only Australian I can listen to.
Avi 'Galileo' Loeb opened two doors that when put together = "The higher we soar, the smaller we appear to those who cannot fly.” - Friedrich Nietzsche. Another: 'It's hard to soar like an eagle when you're caught up with the turkeys on the ground'. Your material Ross is never a garden salad: It is a hearty hot meal. What comments could I make here. Ross Coulthart: vital and essential. Avi Loeb: Determinative. He is our Galileo and we are his friends. Thanks Ross. 🦘
.
Avi Loeb is a national treasure.
Ross, simply put...you sir are many, many steps above the rest. Please do not stop going down the U.A.P. road, you have the respect, dignity, and the honor of seeing this through.
Great guest
Ross...you're a terrific investigative journalist. Congrats!
You are both true heroes, unafraid to explore new ideas and accept wherever they lead you.
Hello Ross another great video and your guest excellent program😊
Outstanding! Every bit of it. Thank you!
to the aliens flying the ufos, us figuring out nukes must of been like if we saw chimps figuring out fire
Yes utterly horrifying
Great interview Ross
Hey Ross interview Dr John McDowell and his colleagues for the next interview if you want the ball to really start moving, it would at this point I think there is enough people who either believe or have moved to the middle ground to some degree even for the most skeptical person even if they believe they are drones or something else at least they are paying attention now.
Should rename reality check to "Ross's pin down" 😂
As usual with Ross, great interview! Would like to see an interview with Ashton Forbes on MH-370 !!!
Yes please.

👍🛸 I really appreciate all of Mr.Loeb's efforts to
pursue his various investagations into the unknown, and like he stated, if, & when he has solid evidence of whats falling onto Earth, then he will present it. Thanks Ross for another very informative interview. 🤗 Hugs to you, & yours!

Congress needs to give the people keeping the secrets immunity also. For way too many reasons to say but most of them are just taking orders.
"I don't think its necessarily wrong" Haha OMG!!! God this was RAD!!🤣
Keep up the good work, Russ👍🏼👍🏼👍🏼👍🏼👍🏼
"Maintaining my childhood curiousity." Well said, sir! I've always tried to maintain my curiousity as well. 👍 I have to say, I love this guy's take on science: No bias and based on evidence. Yes, Mr. Loeb, I agree; just ignore the gossips and the drama.
The New York Times piece by Matt Richtel was about as ham handed and crude as anything could be.
It was a blatant and cowardly insult.
Sarcasm does not replace truth or knowledge.
I love your sharing this, I believe you and your discernment ❤
I look up to these two wonderful people!
I love that a bunch of Angela Collier's videos show up in the recommendeds. There's one in particular that is very relevant here.
Loved this conversation. Thanks again for all you do Ross! I found Avi Loeb to be fascinating, and I have a few more books to buy now.
Thanks, Chris, for all these great interviews! It's really interesting stuff.
Excellent video
