NewsNation UFO correspondent Ross Coulthart claimed in a live interview with the network’s Alex Caprariello that the Trump Administration is soliciting advice from religious leaders about how best to prepare the country for the “ontological shock” of a planned announcement that extraterrestrial beings are operating on Earth. As with many of Coulthart’s recent claims, his comments did not have any verifiable facts or specific names attached to them: “There is a lot of speculation. I am hearing it from people inside the Administration, that the Trump Administration is indeed soliciting advice about how to tell the public that we’re not alone. There are consultations taking place with spiritual leaders. I’m now able to confirm that. There was some speculation a couple of weeks ago about a group of pastors, but it turned out that wasn’t directly related to the White House. Of course, none of Coutlhart’s other “reporting” on UFOs has panned out, from the football-field-size buried flying saucer he says is lies under a massive government building to the interdimensional portal he claims the military is guarding.
Coulthart declined to name who was speaking to him, and he cited not a single pastor who supposedly consulted with the White House on aliens, nor has any religious leader admitted to doing so. If they know that aliens are real and are hiding that fact, that would of course be bearing false witness—but the Ten Commandments seem to have the same weight among televangelists as the Article II Emoluments Clause does in the White House. Nothing in Coulthart’s comments suggests evidence that there is an imminent plan to reveal communication with otherworldly beings, but it would not surprise me if White House flunkies did indeed reach out to religious leaders because of the recent flap over Evangelical pastors meeting with ex-government UFO advocates and debating how to redefine UFOs as fallen angels, which Coulthart referenced in his comments. Vice President JD Vance has a stated interest in UFOs and demons, so there is a very real possibility that the Administration is sounding out ideas in case the government’s files somehow prove their conspiracy theories true, or even to see how well they could use UFO claims to spark religious fervor on the right. But there is another factor at play—and I’m not talking about Donald Trump’s efforts to distract from his many crises. We are only weeks away from the June 12 release date for Steven Spielberg’s Disclosure Day, and the publicity machine for the film is ramping up. We have seen Spielberg making some, frankly, weird statements about his belief in UFOs and feeling that UFO “Disclosure” is imminent—a mix of his own well-known UFO beliefs and hype for the film. UFO media is piggybacking on the film with a vengeance, led by documentary filmmaker Dan Farah, who has appeared anywhere that will have him to trot out clips of last year’s Age of Disclosure documentary to squeeze a few more dollars out of the film and to try to reignite interest. Spielberg’s film is driving media coverage of “Disclosure,” which in turn is emboldening the Administration to play to the media interest. It’s all a vicious cycle, but one that doesn’t have any substance behind it. The videos the Administration released last week depicted birds and balloons, including an “unexplained” video that apparently baffled the world’s greatest military and the scientific experts of the U.S. government but was revealed to be a Star Wars stormtrooper party balloon only hours after the video’s release. If the “experts” in government can’t tell birds and balloons from an alien invasion, why should we trust that their sub rosa outreach to pastors, if it really exists, has anything more serious behind it? For Coulthart the answer is obvious. “I know from my own sources they have absolutely categorical wipe-the-floor evidence that shows beyond any doubt whatsoever that we are indeed being visited by nonhuman intelligences.” The trouble is that nobody else knows this because Coulthart will not name his sources or provide a lick of proof that thy know what they are talking about. Coulthart claims that Trump is planning to reveal the truth about aliens, which he says includes evidence that the aliens have a hybridization program to interbreed with humanity. That should be fairly simple to prove with a DNA test, and yet, these hybrid aliens are walking the streets, shedding DNA wherever they go, without anyone being able to prove a thing.

I think it sounds like this man is desperate for mental health care but doesn't know how to ask. He's pretty much telling us "They're reaching out to pastors like me, I've heard rumors about it. I know a lot of people who hear tht they are asking people... of course they're asking me too. After all, I'm a super special important boy. But most importantly the rumors. That's what I base my claims on, the rumors"

Notice their school of thought is that the public are babes in the woods who hang on their every pronouncement with baited breath waiting to be told what to believe. Whereas reality on the ground is society has already laughed their sesame street buggy out of the court of public opinion like an up against the wall redneck

What's next? Are they going to have George Tsukaliosis or whatever his name is host an Ancient Aliens showcase at the White House?

Seeing that Russ thought the green egg on a carpet was proof of space aliens I wouldnt trust his judgement on any proof without seeing it myself.

Clearly there are some gummint employees who are assigned to the UFO Desk. It would be interesting to know what percentages are folks who are stashed there for lack of a better (less harmful?) place for them, and how many are believers who somehow wangled a berth there. Elizondo seems to fit both categories.

About the rumors of the American government consulting pastors, could they be the work of those who allegedly briefed Scott W.? Was surprised to find Scott W. mentioned in discussions on them.

Not for the first time, I find myself wishing this place let us post graphics so I could post the Zoolander "I feel like I'm taking crazy pills!" scene.

Evidence that common descent does not always hold true seems the sort of thing that some people would be loathe to avoid discussing.
