Ross Coulthart Says He Visited a Secret Interdimensional Portal

3/1/2026

Ross Coulthart claimed on a NewsNation Reality Check podcast that he visited a secure site in the United States where the U.S. Forest Service has fencing and security to protect what they say is an ancient Native American archaeological site (he calls it “ruins of tribal art,” whatever that means) but Coulthart says he “knows” to really be an interdimensional portal. He did not say how he knows it to be a portal.

“I’ve just been somewhere in the United States where there’s another portal, and I know the United States knows about it.” In a claim straight out of Stargate SG1 or H. P. Lovecraft’s Randolph Carter stories, Coulthart alleges that the federal government is hiding a portal to another dimension and is using archaeology as a cover to keep the public away from the gateway. Of course he did not provide any evidence of the claim, and it is not clear where the site is supposed to be.

Coulthart has previously made a similar claim about a portal near Bradshaw Ranch in Sedona, Arizona, and he hosted a podcast episode discussing portals where Bigfoot allegedly pops into North America from his home dimension and another claiming the sun is a portal for aliens.

Capsule Review of Ancient Aliens S22E05 “UFO Hot Spots”

2/27/2026

On Thursday, former secretary of state Hillary Clinton sat for a deposition with members of Congress about her, her husband’s, and their foundation’s involvement with Jeffrey Epstein. Following the deposition, Clinton held a news conference in which she said that the questioning went off the rails, with investigators asking Clinton about “UFOs” and “Pizzagate” instead of Epstein. At the same time in the United Kingdom, Spyros Melaris lost a court bid to assert copyright over the infamous 1995 Alien Autopsy hoax video in order to quash an upcoming documentary about the hoax. Ray Santilli, who produced the 1995 Alien Autopsy special, is assumed to be the copyright holder, not Melaris. A few hours later, Ancient Aliens returned from an unplanned two-week hiatus to resume its new season in a new timeslot, now airing at 10 pm on Thursdays. The episode, however, was yet another “Special Edition” clip show, with segments cut and pasted from past episodes:

Segment 1 is from “The Hotspots Connection” (2023) about San Diego.
Segment 2 is from “The UFO Superhighway” (2024) about the area around Trinidad, Colorado.
Segment 3 is from “Destination Chile” (2020) about Santiago, Chile.
Segment 4 is from “Britain’s UFO Files” (2025) about Yorkshire, England.
Segment 5 is from “The Hotspots Connection” (2023) about New Castle, New York, and the Hudson Valley.
Segment 6 is from “The Volcano Factor” (2025) about Colombia.

Lue Elizondo Claims Vatican Showed Him an Ancient UFO Account (But It Didn't)

2/25/2026

Glenn Beck interviewed Lue Elizondo by phone for his podcast yesterday, and Elizondo made an unfounded claim that the Vatican showed him evidence of ancient flying saucers. Beck—who has used his platform in the past to claim a lost white race inhabited ancient America—promoted the supposed revelation online with hyperbolic headlines: “Former UFO official saw ANCIENT EVIDENCE of aliens at the Vatican?!” Meanwhile, the supposed “evidence” is (a) not secret, (b) well-known, and (c) has nothing to do with aliens except in the minds of ufologists, as I will show you below. This, though, is yet another example of what ignoramuses who don’t know what they are talking about do not actually create knowledge by bouncing their ignorance off one another.

It’s been a big week for UFO advocate Lue Elizondo. Earlier today, Elizondo announced a new nationwide tour this spring in which he will sell tickets for audiences to watch him have conversations with ufology-themed guests that he will then repackage for podcasts, which will presumably also carry advertising while serving to promote his next book, due out later this year. The bizarrely named Persona Non Grata tour—from a man who is literally welcomed into Congress and the biggest media in the world, like 60 Minutes and the New York Times—will include twenty cities across the United States with guests to be announced later.

Donald Trump Says Barack Obama Disclosed Classified Info with Alien Comments

2/19/2026

1 Comment

While taking questions aboard Air Force One this afternoon, President Donald Trump said that former president Barack Obama disclosed classified information in a podcast last weekend when he said that space aliens were "real" but that he had seen no evidence for alien contact and the U.S. government was not holding any space aliens, Trump made the comments in response to questioning from Fox News reporter Peter Doocy:

Peter Doocy: Barack Obama said that aliens are real. Have you seen any evidence of non-human visitors to Earth?

Donald Trump: Well, he gave classified information. He's not supposed to be doing that. You know.

Doocy: So aliens are real?

Donald Trump: Well, I don't know if they're real or not. I can tell you he gave classified information. He's not supposed to be doing that. He made a... he made a big mistake. He took it out of classified information. No, I don't... I don't have an opinion on it. I never talk about it. A lot of people do. A lot of people believe it. Do you believe it, Peter?

Peter Doocy: Uh, well, if the President can declassify anything that he wants to, so if you want to make an announcement...

Donald Trump: I may get him out of trouble by declassifying.

It is not clear which of Obama's comments supposedly contains allegedly classified information, nor is it clear how Trump can know Obama gave out classified information while also claiming not to know the information.

By evening, Trump appeared to walk back the comments in a Truth Social post when he directed the Department of Defense "to begin the process of identifying and releasing Government files related to alien and extraterrestrial life, unidentified aerial phenomena (UAP), and unidentified flying objects (UFOs)," implying that there is indeed no secret knowledge of alien life if they have to hunt for the files.

In Brief: Barack Obama Causes Brief Alien Frenzy

2/16/2026

1 Comment

This weekend, former president Barack Obama appeared on the No Lie with Brian Tyler Cohen podcast and briefly caused a frenzy about space aliens. During a lightning round of questioning at the end of the podcast, Cohen asked Obama if aliens are real. "They're real," Obama replied, "but I haven't seen them, and they're not being kept in, what is it, Area 51." The response about aliens being real led to a media frenzy. It was the top headline on the Drudge Report for a day, and Time magazine sent out an email alert with the supposed admission as the top story. It trended for a day on X, where users seized on the comments as proof of alien contact, and was even one. On Sunday, Obama clarified his remarks, saying in a social media post that he was trying to give a "speed round" answer. He meant, he said, that statistically, given the size of the universe, "the odds are good there's life out there." He added that "I saw no evidence during my presidency that aliens have made contact with us. Really!" The frenzy, which made the NBC Nightly News Monday night, might have been avoided had Cohen, who has no background in journalism, thought to ask the obvious follow-up question once Obama said aliens were real. Indeed, it might also have been avoided had the mainstream media asked Obama to clarify rather than running with a half-answer.

In Brief: Pentagon Calls George Knapp’s Russian UFO Files “Disinformation”

2/8/2026

3 Comments

For the past thirty years, Las Vegas TV reporter and UFO advocate George Knapp has teased a cache of Russian KGB UFO files that he claims to have removed from the country in 1993. He has told different stories about obtaining Russian files. In 1993 Knapp and in 1994 ABC News Primetime Live both claimed to have purchased the files after the fall of the Soviet Union from former KGB operative Boris Sokolov. More recently, he claimed to have “commandeered” the newly posted files, which may or may not be from the same original set (the files previously made public covered 1978-1988, while the new set also covers 1989-1993), and absconded with them. Last month he quietly released the files online on his local news channel’s website, leading to a glowing report in the New York Post this weekend. However, according to New York Post reporter Steven Greenstreet, who did not participating in the writing of the Post’s Knapp article, a senior source in the Pentagon confirmed that the documents are part of a known Russian disinformation campaign and that Congress received a classified briefing on the documents and their Russian disinformation. Naturally, Knapp’s supporters, including podcast partner Jeremy Corbell, have promoted the Post story without acknowledging the disinformation. Interestingly, the files contained a description of a real 1953 Moscow Radio broadcast, which said that “American imperialists had invented a stupid tale for stirring up a war, for intimidating taxpayers and the Congress in order to confirm an excessively high budget.” Some things never change.

Review of Ancient Aliens S22E03 “Islands of the Gods”

1/30/2026

5 Comments

(For reasons that are beyond me, this episode is listed as S21E19 on the History website and S22E03 everywhere else.)

The settlement of Polynesia is one of the great stories of human achievement, full of incredible feats of sailing across almost incomprehensible distances. Those voyages carried a cultural matrix that included cyclopean walls and megalithic statues across the Pacific, the from the Marquesas to Nan Madol and from Hawaii to Easter Island. It’s also been a frequent subject for Ancient Aliens. In the past eight years, they have devoted entire episodes to Easter Island and the Marquesas (2018), Hawaii (2019), and Nan Madol (2020) in addition to frequent segments in other episodes. Now we are doing it all again because it’s been a few years, and they probably figure that the audience has forgotten since they reused so much material from these previous episodes, including b-roll footage.

Bill Maher Claims Aliens Visiting Earth, "Want Us to Know That They're Here"

Bill Maher has long been UFO-curious, and in recent years he increasingly implied that he believes space aliens are currently visiting the Earth. Nevertheless, it was especially shocking to see him state his acceptance of the unevidenced mythology of ufology as directly as he did on the January 26 episode of his Club Random podcast, while interviewing Age of Disclosure filmmaker Dan Farah:

In Brief: James Fox Holds UFO News Conference in DC to Promote New Film

1/20/2026

8 Comments

Filmmaker James Fox picked the wrong time to hold a “major” UFO press conference at the National Press Club in Washington to promote his new documentary. The 11 AM event was quickly overshadowed by Pres. Trump’s rambling afternoon White House briefing room news conference, which at least had the virtue of being current. Fox’s event promised “first-hand witnesses, medical experts, government officials, and U.S. insiders to present new evidence related to alleged non-human encounters and crash-retrieval programs.” Unfortunately, the “new” material was just a rehash of the supposed 1996 UFO crash in Varginha, Brazil, the subject of Fox’s new film (his second on the incident). Brazilian media thoroughly debunked the Varginha encounter in a three-episode documentary that aired recently on TV Globo, one of the country’s biggest networks. According to the program, the ufologist who initially promoted the story now admits the alien encounter never happened. UFO-obsessed Rep. Eric Burlison (R-Mo.) was also in attendance to give the movie promotion the borrowed air of officialdom.
