Ross Coulthart Claims Trump Authorized Military to Shoot Down UFOs

8/10/2026

This weekend, NewsNation UFO correspondent Ross Coulthart claimed that Donald Trump had authorized the military to use “directed energy weapons” to shoot down UFOs. During a Reality Check podcast, Coulthart claimed that White House sources told him about the order and that the military has “recently downed objects and craft” in the U.S. and in Mexico under Trump’s direction. “There is a full-on effort by the Administration to recover non-human intelligence exotic technology in a program totally separate from the so-called Legacy Program,” Coulthart said.

In other words, even though Coulthart previously claimed the U.S. has already collected crashed UFOs and reverse-engineered them to make wonder weapons that (paradoxically) no one uses, these are locked away by a conspiracy that is somehow both widely known and also completely secret, and Trump wants new UFOs shot down because risking intergalactic warfare with advanced space aliens is somehow the easier option than going to hangars where Coulthart already told us the UFOs are hidden, since that choice risks upsetting the Cigarette Smoking Man, or whoever is supposed to be in charge of the conspiracy.

Coulthart claimed that the order was issued earlier this year and was the secret reason the government shut down airspace near El Paso in February. That event was revealed to be the result of confusion and chaos from a botched effort to use a laser to shoot down a Mexican cartel drone, which turned out to be a mylar party balloon. Coulthart’s source seems to be trying to rewrite an embarrassing example of Trump Administration incompetence as a heroic effort of Darth Trump and Flash Hegseth to save America from space invaders.

“This is an attempt by the President to circumvent the Legacy Program,” Coulthart said, with no source named, referencing the alleged secret conspiracy of the Deep State to hide UFO evidence from elected officials. It may be entirely possible that Trump authorized Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth to find out what UFOs really are, as Coulthart claims, but the broader narrative of conspiracy sounds like a bunch of propaganda and PR designed to flatter UFO believers and tease hem ahead of the midterm elections rather than any serious program of intergalactic warmongering. These guys can’t even win in Iran, so how would they fight the forces of Zeta Reticuli?

Bizarrely, Coulthart sees no contradiction between his claim that Trump is trying to circumvent the UFO Legacy Program to seize control of the alien tech and his statement a few minutes later that Trump is ignorant of the real nature of UFOs and is being misled to believe they are drones: “He is being told the objects are simply foreign spy drones,” Coulthart said. It can’t be both!

So Trump's Sith name is Darth Trump? Actually, that tracks when you consider how much he loves his own name. It is unique amongst Sith. Few Sith keep their own name as part of their title

Trump did nothing about the drones over New Jersey. He has certainly not ordered the shooting down of actual UFO's.

A "seven-year tribulation" period is already behind us. It began six months into Trump's first term when he was impeached. It ended six months before the end of Biden's term when "we finally beat Medicare" at the presidential debate. For "a time, times, and a half" (i.e., 3 1/2 years), Biden had risen up as the "little horn that destroyed the 4th Beast" of Daniel Chapter 7, i.e., what remained of imperialistic America as the latest incarnation of the Roman Empire and custodian of the Holy Lands.

As soon as Trump returned to the capital, he began a "mixed-multitude" Mass Exodus (a.k.a. "ICE Capture Rapture") of unwanted wetbacks and by bribing some of them with greenbacks.

Trump's focus is currently on fulfilling the remainder of Daniel 7, as well as certain other aspects of the Book of Revelation.

Trump has cultivated a positive relationship with Greece (including North Macedonia) and Iraq (old Babylon). He is also playing whack-a-mole with Iran (old Medeo-Persia) and with the intent of "stripping it of authority." He is also stopping "Gog and Magog" (Russia) and "an army from the east" (China) in their tracks. But, Russia and China may be allowed to make one further advance. Russia has already threatened Denmark and Poland. They have just announced their intent to make a token breach of other NATO borders, which could be taken as fulfillment of Daniel 7. China is being induced to step up its "Silk Road" initiative to save Iran and perhaps "cross over the Euphrates" to link up with Turkey. This would be foiled by the feudalization of Iran into a number of ethnic provinces.

Trump is also, of course, rebooting the United States. And, depending upon the Deep State's interpretation of Daniel 7, we might not even have the same style of government for much longer. The Republic could be replaced by some type of Principate. If the Republicans retain a majority in the House and Senate, that transition may get postponed. But, the days of the Republic are still numbered. We are a country divided and no longer stand for anything. That's not the profile of an "everlasting dominion."

Donald Trump said little about drones over New Jersey in 2024.

If I may ask you a question off topic here tonight, Charles N. Pope, why did Jason's moderator, Educated Grunt, write you said that "it's the Annunaki, who came from Zeta Reticuli!"?

Why did you claim those stars as origins of Mesopotamia's gods? Myths usually simply say sky gods came from the sky, but some myths named specific places in the sky as the origins of deities. As far as I can tell from searching on the internet, Hinduism has the only ancient lore that mentioned the stars of Zeta Reticulum.

Someone asked famous popular trance channels about the topic.

Before anyone asks, I realize why the channels are controversial.

The gods of ancient Mesopotamia and the stars of Zeta Reticulum were both mentioned together in Dante's translated Russian book.

Somebody assumed it was demonology and made this summary.

https://demon.fandom.com/wiki/Santori%27s_demons

Fandom.com already had wikis dedicated to alien life in both fiction and nonfiction, but somebody put it there with demonology. Do you agree with that decision? Seems like part of a disturbing trend to reject sciences in favor of religions and superstitions. G.T. got it right and upset all the cowboys in Texas in the process.

Just keep your fingers crossed, and trust that uttering the syllables "zeta reticuli" was scientifically calibrated and calculated to have the maximum possible "ooh aah" effect on credulous people - it cannot fail!

I was being misquoted, as usual (lol).

It is telling, however, that many southern stars and constellations do have importance in mythology. Why would that be if most of them are too far south to be visible in Europe and the Near East?

For example, the famous Argo Navis Constellation (of Jason and the Argonauts), which includes the very bright star Canopus, was of little to no actual value to Greek mariners in ancient times.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Argo_Navis

Argo Navis would only have been useful if Greece and the Mediterranean were in the southern hemisphere, which it in fact was during the last ice age, i.e., during the "Age of Atlantis."

Shouldn't aliens be ICE's problem?/

Alright, Jason, this episode from Ross is a real puzzler. I finally set aside time tonight to listen to this episode and read the article three days after you posted this on Monday. Why cover only the question and answer episodes instead of the regular episodes?

Spacecraft need to be bulletproof to survive meteoroid impacts. That could explain the claims as to why directed energy weapons had to be authorized to shoot down UFOs, as well as why fictional battles in space are often fought with beams instead of projectiles.

Remember the Cigarette Smoking Man on the X-Files was scarier than any aliens or monsters depicted on that show. Ironically, most if not all of the aliens on the X-Files turned out to be hallucinations and hoaxes by the ends of episodes they appeared.

Funny how the shoot down and shutdown happened around the same weekend when former president Barack Obama broke news when he stated belief in the existence of alien life on a podcast. Sure it must have been a coincidence.

I remember a tutorial on television about how to make your own laser pistol by recycling the laser in a blue ray DVD player which glows hot enough to pop rubber balloons. Mylar may be tougher. Do not need lasers to pop balloons. Darts are sharp enough. Bullets work fine to pop balloons and destroy drones from cartels. Perhaps the Americans wanted to shine laser beams into camera lenses on the drones to bring them down in the same way that green lasers can be used to blind pilots and bring down airplanes. Dr. Steven Greer used lasers during his contact meditation events. The Sky Watchers' psychic summoning methods resemble those of Dr. Steven Greer. Did Sky Watchers sell an application for it?

Did Donald Trump's uncle Dr. John Trump not tell him about Tesla's files that were confiscated? Could Tesla's designs for beam weapons be of any use for Donald Trump's Golden Dome? If so, how can Donald Trump really be separate from the legends of the alleged legendary Legacy Program of the Deep State? Now, if so, then would Donald Trump not need to ask what UFOs are? Do enough UFO believers vote in American midterm elections to make it worthwhile to flatter and tease that specific group of folks? No idea how these guys would fight the forces of Zeta Reticulum. Plenty of astronomical facts indicate that system is uninhabited, as that was the place on Betty Hill's star map as interpreted by Marjorie Fish, but Betty Hill's star map is badly out of date now.

Must take a great amount of cognitive dissonance for Ross to be the UFO correspondent for News Nation. In his defense, he was jet lagged and sleep deprived in one of those episodes, and about to go on a much needed holiday after the end of the other episode, so it may be too harsh to demand of the reporter to think too hard.

Glad I waited for Thursday night to get through all of this content. Worried this one would give me cognitive dissonance headaches.
