Inside NASA's UFO coverup culture | Reality Check
Jul 701:05:51Tap to summarizeIn this episode of "Reality Check," Ross Coulthart sits down with Michael Gold, president of Redwire Space and a former member of NASA's UAP Independent Study Team, for a candid look at how the agency has handled the subject. Gold explains what the study team was actually asked to do, which was to weigh whether UAP was worth NASA's attention and what resources it could bring to bear, rather than to analyze the anomalous imagery already sitting in the agency's own archives. He is direct about the stigma that shadows the field, describing scientists warned they could lose their jobs, tenure and their ability to publish for simply asking the question, including a physicist and frequent guest of this show who lost his position after appearing on it. The conversation moves through the Apollo 17 triangle and the Apollo 11 blue lights, the Robertson Panel that helped set decades of ridicule in motion and the work Gold is now leading through the Disclosure Foundation to reopen NASA's archives alongside astronomer Beatriz Villarroel and physicist Maaneli Derakhshani. It closes where Gold argues where the real stakes sit, on national security, a race with China and his warning that whoever controls the Moon will eventually control the Earth.#NASA #coverup #UAPCREDITS:Host: Ross CoulthartExecutive Producer: Andy GipsonEditorial Producer: Meagan MedickSegment Producer: Christine JenkinsonAssociate Producer: Will TomasiResearch Producer: Rob JonesEditor: Kanyon LyonsOn "Reality Check," NewsNation Special Correspondent Ross Coulthart takes a fact-based approach to tackle everything from unidentified aerial phenomena (UAPs) to mysteries often missing from the headlines.
