Ross Coulthart isn’t just a journalist. He’s a truth-seeker, one who isn’t afraid to go where most reporters won’t. In an age when journalism often bends to corporate narratives or political convenience, Coulthart’s relentless focus on truth, especially in the mysterious and often ridiculed field of unidentified aerial phenomena (UAPs), has made him a standout figure. He has chosen to put his reputation, experience, and integrity on the line in pursuit of answers that powerful institutions would rather keep hidden.
With a journalism career that spans more than thirty years, Ross Coulthart’s reputation was already firmly established before he became involved in the UFO/UAP issue. He worked with some of Australia’s most respected current affairs programs, including 60 Minutes and Sunday Night, where he investigated topics ranging from war crimes to corporate fraud. His passion for uncovering the truth was evident long before he began covering what many consider the biggest story never told: that governments around the world may have encountered technology not made by human hands.
Today, Ross Coulthart works as an investigative journalist with NewsNation, an American news outlet that has given serious attention to the topic of UAPs and whistleblower testimony. Through his work there, Coulthart has helped bring unprecedented credibility to a field long ignored or ridiculed by mainstream media. His interviews, particularly with former U.S. intelligence official David Grusch, have made global headlines and sparked public and political discussions about government transparency and UFO disclosure.

His 2021 book, In Plain Sight, is not just a compilation of theories. It is a carefully researched body of work, drawn from extensive interviews with credible military personnel, government insiders, intelligence operatives, and whistleblowers who have stepped forward with stories that challenge our understanding of reality. Coulthart took the bold step of asserting that governments, particularly the United States, have been involved in retrieving crashed non-human craft and may be secretly studying this technology. He never claims to have all the answers. But what makes his work so compelling is the courage to ask the right questions and the persistence to follow them, wherever they lead.
Ross Coulthart’s role in the now-famous interviews with David Grusch has placed him at the center of the modern UFO disclosure movement. These interviews, aired on NewsNation, were not driven by hype but by the gravity of the subject matter and the credibility of the people involved. Coulthart's calm, thoughtful, and respectful style helped present the story with the seriousness it deserves. His platform at NewsNation allowed the voices of whistleblowers to be heard without distortion, mockery, or censorship—a rarity in today’s media climate.
While many journalists avoid topics like UFOs out of fear they will be mocked or dismissed, Coulthart has embraced the challenge. He understands that ridicule has often been used to suppress valid inquiry. Instead of avoiding the subject, he has committed himself to reporting on it with integrity. Through NewsNation, he has elevated the conversation, helping the public see that the issue is not only legitimate but potentially one of the most important of our time.
What makes Ross Coulthart truly admirable is that he hasn’t done any of this for popularity or personal gain. In fact, by taking on the UFO issue so publicly, he’s risked more than most would ever dare. But for Coulthart, the issue goes beyond professional stakes. It’s about the public’s right to know. If there are non-human intelligences interacting with our world whether confirmed or not then this is not just another news story. It’s the story of our lifetime. And Coulthart believes that people everywhere deserve to know the truth.
He has become a beacon for those who believe in transparency, accountability, and scientific curiosity. While many reporters follow trends, Ross is often far ahead of them. His work continues to inspire a growing community of researchers, witnesses, and citizens who now feel they have a trusted voice representing them in the public sphere. He has given legitimacy to a subject long dismissed and opened the doors for future journalists to pursue similar lines of inquiry without fear or ridicule.
Of course, no truth-seeker operates without facing criticism. Coulthart has been accused by skeptics of relying too heavily on anonymous sources or promoting stories that can’t be independently verified. But he has never asked his audience to blindly believe anything. Instead, he urges critical thinking, encourages public dialogue, and demands that those in power be held accountable. That is, and has always been, the job of a journalist.
Supporting Ross Coulthart means supporting a future where truth is more important than narrative control. It means believing that the public deserves honest reporting, even when the answers are uncomfortable or world-changing. His voice is one of the few cutting through the fog of disinformation, reminding us that it’s okay to ask bold questions and vital to pursue bold truths.
As public interest in UAPs grows, so too does Coulthart’s influence. He is more than a reporter, he is a torchbearer in an era that desperately needs transparency and honesty. And if history eventually proves that some of what he and his sources have revealed is true, Ross Coulthart will be remembered not as a fringe voice but as a pioneer who tried to wake us up while others stayed silent.
