Host: Jesse Michels
Guest: Ross Coulthart

1. Introduction

In this compelling episode of American Alchemy, host Jesse Michels engages in an in-depth conversation with renowned investigative journalist and UFO researcher Ross Coulthart. The discussion delves into Coulthart’s groundbreaking discoveries related to secret UFO bases, government cover-ups, and the intricate web of intelligence operations surrounding unidentified aerial phenomena (UAP).

2. Initial UFO Sightings and Orbs

The episode kicks off with Coulthart recounting a significant UFO sighting:

Ross Coulthart [00:00]: "And if you looked at a particular place over Secret Mountain, you would see this big orb being escorted by helicopters rising from behind Secret Mountain. And we watched at 1:30 in the morning. And sure enough, up comes this beautiful golden orb. Gigantic, it pulses, it's plasmatic."

Jesse Michaels probes deeper into the implications of such sightings:

Jesse Michels [00:21]: "And so where my mind might go with that is that this is some sort of global control system, but an..."

3. The Buga Sphere and Symbolism

Coulthart introduces the concept of the Buga Sphere, an anomalous object with mysterious symbols:

Ross Coulthart [03:01]: "We went to his home and saw this sphere apparently move under its own power. People have been murdered. Because I'm told that the briefing that the FBI gave in Congress really blew people away."

Michaels shares his observations and the scientific intrigue surrounding the sphere:

Jesse Michels [03:32]: "It's so hard to say."

They discuss the skepticism and the compelling nature of the symbols found on the sphere:

Ross Coulthart [05:56]: "But I did what I'm increasingly doing these days. I took a photograph of the sphere and I uploaded it to AI and asked AI in this case, I think it was groke. And I said, can you please decipher these symbols for me? And it came back very quickly and said the circuit."

4. Investigations and Evidence of Alien Technology

The conversation shifts to Coulthart’s encounters with individuals who have witnessed or interacted with alien technology:

Ross Coulthart [08:22]: "And I can report is whatever they are, I do think I can say they're real. They're a real phenomenon. Whatever they are, they're metal spheres with no visible means of propulsion."

Coulthart shares a personal account of witnessing a moving sphere:

Ross Coulthart [05:44]: "I have seen one of these spheres in a different domain in the home of a beautiful man in Texas who is a good soul. And I can tell you it may be the case that his sphere is now in the possession of Brendan Fugal."

5. Government Involvement and Cover-Ups

A significant portion of the discussion revolves around government secrecy and potential cover-ups related to UFOs:

Ross Coulthart [15:56]: "When in New Zealand where I was living as a kid, there was a really big UFO incident in 1978... And the briefing that the FBI gave in Congress really blew people away."

Coulthart elaborates on his investigative journey, uncovering government reluctance to disclose UFO-related information:

Ross Coulthart [17:02]: "I bought as a teenage boy the official government explanation. And I was doing my exams, I was really focused on my studies... And when I met Sir Robert Muldoon, the former New Zealand Prime Minister, he chuckled and said, yeah, the Americans wanted that one shut down pretty quickly."

6. International Collaboration and Historical Context

The episode explores the collaboration between Australian and American intelligence regarding UFO investigations:

Ross Coulthart [52:47]: "Harry Turner was... the supervising physicist on the range at Maralinga, and he was invited to investigate multiple UAP sightings... Harry wrote a definitive piece recommending that the Defense Department of Australia set up a UFO flying squad to investigate UFOs."

Coulthart discusses historical nuclear tests and their intersections with UFO sightings:

Ross Coulthart [61:00]: "I was living in New Zealand when these tests were happening... And I can remember as a much younger journalist, I learned how to use the archives and one of the early documents I found in the Australian archives was evidence of secret testing of animals for radiation residue from those nuclear experiments."

7. Hidden Technologies and Psionics

The dialogue delves into advanced technologies and psionics, suggesting government acknowledgment and utilization:

Ross Coulthart [102:34]: "Because you've got the doctrinaire attitude of the New York Times... But all you need to do, if I was the editor of a newspaper today, I would put 10 days into deploying a couple of investigative journalists to go up from Phoenix and have a look at what I saw in Sedona and you will find a deep underground military facility... operating what I suspect is non-human technology."

They discuss the government's involvement in psionics and remote viewing programs:

Ross Coulthart [103:26]: "And psionics wasn't shutting it down... people have confirmed that there is still an ongoing psionic operation being run in the Pentagon."

8. Personal Experiences and Challenges in Journalism

Coulthart shares his personal challenges faced as an investigative journalist delving into sensitive UFO topics:

Ross Coulthart [76:42]: "I summoned my anger and basically yelled at border protection and said, I strongly advise that you get on the phone. Whoever it is that's flagged me, contact them now or tell them I will be going live on television in about 10 minutes to talk about the fact that I'm being illegally held."

He discusses the ridicule and skepticism he faces from mainstream media:

Ross Coulthart [78:02]: "And I have to admit we have a euphemism in Australia 'tearing somebody a new asshole.' I just wasn't going to put up with it."

9. Concluding Insights and Future Outlook

In the finale, both hosts express hope for future disclosures and the role of the internet in spreading awareness:

Ross Coulthart [112:00]: "And you know, we are... generating programs. In your case, you're actually making a living by, the looks of it, doing stories on this phenomenon and reporting on it. And it proves to me there is an audience there that want this stuff."

They emphasize the importance of continued investigation and public interest:

Jesse Michels [111:39]: "Let's hope disclosure happens and these psionic viewers are correct before the world blows up."

Ross shares final thoughts on the necessity of disclosure amidst global tensions:

Ross Coulthart [107:56]: "It is occurring alongside a deep underground military and intelligence operations... it's a capstone to the greatest disinformation operation in human history."
