In an unexpected twist, a NewsNation correspondent alleges the U.S. Forest Service is connected to ‘ancient ruins’
Ross Coulhart strikes again.
NewsNation correspondent Ross Coulhartrecently made a wild claim that the U.S. Forest Service is protecting a fenced-in area somewhere in the United States with a “portal” inside it.

Published: Mar 3, 2026 4:07 PM EST
On NewsNation’s Reality Check with Ross Coulhart, the former 60 Minutes Australia journalist said, “One thing I want to throw out here,” adding he wants to cause “a bit of mischief with the U.S. government.” He continued, “I’ve just been somewhere in the United States, where I know there is another portal, and I know the United States knows about it. And I was there just the other day.”
“Supposedly ancient ruins of tribal art”
Coulhart went on to describe the fence around the site, under Forest Service Protection. “It’s supposedly ancient ruins of tribal art. And you know what? It’s not.” Coulhart claimed the United States is using the U.S. Forest Service under pretenses to keep secrets from the public about a “portal on U.S. soil.” Coulhart reitered that revealing the secret caused some “mischief.”
As Coulhart’s clearly unfounded statement went viral, one comment noted, “How come all these super duper secret government programs just so happen to invite conspiracy peddlers to see the things they don’t want people to know about? [It] just doesn’t make a lick of sense.”
Coulhart: a formerly respected journalist
Coulthart built his reputation in mainstream Australian journalism, working as an investigative reporter and later a chief correspondent for 60 Minutes Australia. Over decades in television and print, including roles with the Nine Network and Seven Network, he covered national security, crime, and political scandals, earning industry awards and a profile as a hard-hitting interviewer.His reporting often focused on misconduct within powerful institutions, and he was known in Australian media circles as an aggressive, sometimes polarizing, investigator willing to challenge official narratives.
In recent years, Coulthart has shifted his focus to unidentified aerial phenomena (UAP), authoring In Plain Sight and becoming a prominent on-air advocate for claims that governments are concealing evidence of non-human craft.
Through appearances on podcasts, cable news segments, and his role with NewsNation, he has amplified whistleblower accounts and allegations of secret crash-retrieval programs.
Coulthart has also suggested that large, concealed objects of unknown origin may be hidden in certain locations, and secret international agreements could exist to control the public disclosure of non-human technology. On programs for NewsNation and in his book, he has given a platform to whistleblowers who allege the existence of reverse-engineering projects and covert special access programs.
Supporters describe him as continuing his tradition of scrutinizing authorities; critics argue he has moved from hard-nosed investigative journalism into promoting extraordinary claims that remain unproven, recasting the veteran reporter as one of the most visible media figures in the modern UFO/UAP debate.

By his own admission Coulthart said that he can't wrap his own head around science. I would say Coulthart, who is otherwise thorough investigator capable of asking all the right question, simply fell for somebody's hype. I can see this one blowing back into Coltheart's face.
Regardless of how scientific portals are, portals turn up in UFO testimonials all over the place, but they are always a temporary convenience. If space beings can make portals where and when they want them, obviously, they wouldn't have a need for a permanent ones.

Humanity receives mysterious 'mega-laser' signal from unknown source in deep space
Humanity has received a mysterious signal, described as a 'mega-laser' beam, from a violently merging galaxy more than 8 billion light-years away. The signal, deemed the most distant hydroxyl megamaser ever detected, was intercepted by the MeerKAT radio telescope in South Africa, which features 64 antennas.A hydroxyl megamaser is a giant natural laser in space. When galaxies full of gas collide, molecules called hydroxyl smash together and release very strong radio waves. These waves behave like a laser, but instead of visible light, they produce radio signals that astronomers can detect with telescopes. Because these signals are extremely bright, they can be seen from very far across the universe.
In this case, the object is so powerful that scientists said it may actually be a 'gigamaser,' which is even stronger than a megamaser. The system, called HATLAS J142935.3–002836, is so far away that we are seeing it as it looked more than 8 billion years ago, when the universe was less than half its current age. Dr Thato Manamela, SARAO-funded postdoctoral researcher at the University of Pretoria and lead author of the new study, said: 'This system is truly extraordinary. We are seeing the radio equivalent of a laser halfway across the universe.'
Manamela added that as the radio waves traveled toward Earth, they were also strengthened by a separate galaxy positioned directly along the line of sight. 'This galaxy acts as a lens, the way a water droplet on a window pane would, because its mass curves the local space-time,' he said. 'So we have a radio laser passing through a cosmic telescope before being detected by the powerful MeerKAT radio telescope – all together enabling a wonderfully serendipitous discovery.'
The radio signal contained four separate components, meaning it is coming from multiple regions within the galaxy system. At least two of these areas appear to be strongly magnified by gravitational lensing, which makes the signal more than ten times brighter than it would normally appear. In this case, a massive foreground galaxy sits between Earth and the distant system. Its gravity bends space-time and acts like a cosmic magnifying glass, boosting the brightness of the radio emission. This amplification allowed the signal to be detected by the MeerKAT radio telescope even though the source is over 8 billion light-years away.
Normally, signals from objects this far away are too weak for telescopes to detect. But the powerful radio signal coming from HATLAS J142935.3–002836 was boosted by a rare effect called gravitational lensing, a phenomenon predicted by Albert Einstein. Gravitational lensing happens when a massive object, such as a galaxy, sits between Earth and a distant source. Its strong gravity bends space-time, which changes the path of the light or radio waves traveling through it.
This makes the distant signal appear brighter and magnified, allowing telescopes like the MeerKAT radio telescope to detect it even from billions of light-years away. From Earth, this effect can sometimes create a ring-shaped halo of light around the foreground object, called an Einstein ring, named after the famed physicist. The same effect also magnifies the distant source, in this case a radio or microwave signal, making it much easier for astronomers to study objects that would normally be too faint to detect.

Rocket scientist and Air Force general linked to UFOs vanish under similar strange circumstances five months apart
(Excerpt)US Major General William Neil McCasland, 68, was last seen on the morning of February 27 as he left his Albuquerque home with only a backpack, wallet and .38-caliber revolver for a trail run, according to the Bernalillo County Sheriff's Office. Sources previously told The New York Post that McCasland was a 'gatekeeper' and 'participant' in the UFO community.
His disappearance has only fueled speculation around the disappearance of 60-year-old Monica Reza, who had worked on a rocket project overseen by McCasland, who also went missing in June 2025. In a chillingly similar case, Reza was last seen hiking in a California forest with a colleague, smiling and waving moments before she 'vanished off the face of the earth,' according to NewsNation.
For months, authorities and volunteers have combed the area using every resource at their disposal, but the aerospace engineer remains missing without a trace.

Mystery of five missing scientists sends chill across America. Three are dead. And one troubling link is now under scrutiny in DC
A chilling pattern has emerged after a string of US scientists died or went missing in recent months. Retired General William Neil McCasland, 68, and NASA aerospace engineer Monica Jacinto Reza, 60, were both major figures in the Air Force Research Laboratory. The general oversaw Reza's work on creating a futuristic metal for rocket engines.Within the span of eight months, both have mysteriously vanished without a trace while allegedly hiking in the Southwest United States.
McCasland's reported ties to secret UFO programs at Wright-Patterson Air Force Base in Ohio, and Reza's work with space-age technology used for advanced propulsion, have led many to claim without evidence that the pair are fleeing from parties that wish to silence them because of what they know. Independent researchers and even a member of Congress fear the pattern has grown even darker after three scientists in the fields of chemical biology, nuclear fusion and astrophysics were murdered or found dead in just the last three months.
One of those renowned scientists was working on a breakthrough that could one day revolutionize science, creating an unlimited energy source that may end fossil fuel use as we know it. Tennessee Congressman Tim Burchett told the Daily Mail he saw a clear pattern in these seemingly unrelated deaths and disappearances, noting that the work several of them were doing has been linked to theories about extraterrestrial spacecraft.
'There have been several others throughout the country that have disappeared under suspicious circumstances,' Burchett said. 'I think we ought to be paying attention to it.' Burchett also blasted the nation's intelligence community, specifically calling out the so-called 'alphabet agencies' such as the FBI, for being unhelpful and frustrating his attempts to find out the truth about what has happened to these scientists. 'The numbers seem very high in these certain areas of research. I think we'd better be paying attention, and I don't think we should trust our government,' he warned.
McCasland has not been seen since February 27, when he suddenly left his home without a phone and was last spotted near Quail Run Court NE in Albuquerque, New Mexico. The congressman specifically noted that McCasland's disappearance was a major national security issue, claiming that the general not only possessed some of America's nuclear secrets but also worked with recovered UFO technology housed in Ohio. McCasland's name became associated with UFO topics after the 2016 WikiLeaks release of emails from John Podesta, Hillary Clinton's campaign chairman.

Lue had an accident and got some road rash. From the looks of it he needed a better helmet (if he was wearing one at all). It's remarkably little fun, believe me. Pavement's best when its down there, not in your face.
I wish him a speedy recovery. By next week the story line will be that the MiB tried to take him out but he was too quick for them.

Yeah, that's a clue that you need to wear protective gear or get off two wheels. Motorcycle accidents are no joke and I hope he understands just how bad this could have been.

If this guy can talk, maybe disclosure day is not that far off.
Richard Doty worked as an officer in Office for Special Investigations and he was stationed in various USAF air bases. He talks about few UFO incidents which I never heard about before, so probably this is the first time they hit public space. Carefull wiht the second video, its quite tragic.

This man is the biggest bullshit artist on Earth. Once a professional disinformation agent, later a self proclaimed expert who wants to write and consult in movies. A state trooper and possibly lawyer too. He was at the center of the Paul Bennewitz debacle. It was either Greg Bishop or Chris Lambright (I don't remember) that found him hiding behind this foolishness: Project Serpo
Project Serpo is an alleged top-secret exchange program between the United States government and an alien planet called Serpo in the Zeta Reticuli star system. Details of the alleged exchange program have appeared in several UFO conspiracy stories, including one incident in 1983—in which a man identifying himself as United States Air Force Sergeant Richard C. Doty contacted investigative journalist Linda Moulton Howe claiming to be able to supply her Air Force records of the exchange for her HBO documentary The ET Factor, only to pull out without providing any evidence to substantiate his story—and one incident in 2005 when a series of emails were sent to a UFO discussion group run by Victor Martinez claiming that the project was real.[26] Some variations on the conspiracy story state that the name Serpo is the nickname of the extrasolar planet.[26] Other versions state that it is a mispronunciation of either Serponia or Seinu by authorities involved in the project.
The first mention of a 'Project Serpo' was in a UFO email list maintained by enthusiast Victor Martinez. Various versions of the conspiracy theory circulated and were later detailed on a website. According to the most common version of the story, an alien survived a crash near Roswell in the later 1940s (see Roswell UFO incident). This alien was detained but treated well by American military forces, contacted its home planet and eventually repatriated. The story continues by claiming that this led to the establishment of some sort of relationship between the American government and the people of its home world, said to be a planet of the binary star system Zeta Reticuli.[26]
Zeta Reticuli has a history in ufology (including the Betty and Barney Hill abduction and the Bob Lazar story), having been claimed as the home system of an alien race called the Greys.
The story finally claims that twelve American military personnel visited the planet between 1965 and 1978 and that all of the party have since died, from "after effects of high radiation levels from the two suns".[26] Another version of the story claims that "Eight (8) Team Members returned on the seven (7) month trek home. Team Member #308 (Team Pilot #2) died of a pulmonary embolism en route to SERPO on the 9-month journey; 11 arrived safely. One (1) died on the planet—and both of their bodies were returned to Earth—while two (2) others decided to remain on the ALIEN homeworld of SERPO."[27]
One criticism of Project Serpo stems from the lack of veracity of one of its alleged witnesses, Sergeant Richard Doty. Doty has been involved in other alleged UFO-related activities (see Majestic 12 and Paul Bennewitz), and thus is a discredited source (or a purposeful provider of disinformation).[26] Additionally, there is no physical evidence supporting the project's existence.[26] According to Tim Swartz of Mysteries Magazine, Doty, who promised evidence to Moulton Howe before backing out, has been involved in circulating several other UFO conspiracy stories.[26] Swartz also expressed that the details of Project Serpo have varied considerably with different accounts.[26] It has been alleged that the entire series of posts were designed to be viral marketing for a new book by Doty.[28]
Bill Ryan, a chief proponent of publicizing the Project Serpo claims, announced on 5 March 2007 that he was stepping down from his role as webmaster for the Serpo material. Ryan nevertheless maintains his belief that an extraterrestrial exchange program did occur, although he states that the Serpo releases definitely contained disinformation.[29]

I went down exactly once. Downpour and I pulled up to a stop light on my old Yamaha 850. You used to have to stay to one side because cars were more prone to drips back then, and in the rain I forgot. One minute I was doing a couple mph and the next some guy was helping me up. Messed up the bike, snapped off the clutch handle so I dug the never used little took kit out from under the seat and got it home by grabbing the cable end.
My full face helmet slammed into my chest and later on I felt like I broke my collar bone, by chest was badly bruised. Ow, After that it was 3/4 helmet only and on rare occasions I'd use a half helmet because I have a really nifty pair of goggles I like but they were all DOT approved. In states that require helmets some guys get by with cosmetic novelty helmets which is just plain stupid. That's one hobby I am glad to be done with.

Yeah, Dirty Doty is quite a character. I could totally see him and his AFOSI pals being the ones behind the Majestic documents, they would certainly have the know how and the model source documents to pull it off.

Hmmm, I just watched a few videos where he talks about Majestic 12. I don't remember, but maybe he mentioned that he was in that group.
View: https://youtu.be/dljZWW73g5A?t=411
re: Paul Bennewitz - Richard Doty explains how UFO intelligence operations worked. He himself had to stay within law, and when he needed some extra information his team would engage other group. This other group that operated from Fort Belvoir (?), Maryland, OH. that was part of USAF Special Activities, This was essentially UFO witness intimidation group, aka "man in black". There is more in the video, so I don't want to spoil it for you if you want to watch.
Anyway, interesting angle, for at least myself, is that Richard Doty might be telling truth to the large degree, under the premise that it is so unbelievable that nobody serious would believe him anyway.
My gold standard of UFO information is disclosure activist Preston Dennett. His stories are dry, factual, constantly repeatable and very boring, but truth is mostly like that. Now, from my perspective what adds to veracity of Preston Dennett's stories are full of tiny mainstream physics observations that are compatible with electromagnetism and general relativity. As well I know few people who had seen UFOs or aliens and I know few details that are not in general media circulation, and these details always cross-check with Dennett's stories.
So far, Richard Doty's stories were pure glamour and were impossible to cross reference neither with science, nor with other UFO stories. Another big difference is while Dennett is promoting a message that EB's are our friends, Doty is more inclined to say that we need to fight EBs.

‘Sleeping Dog’ Doc, About UFO Researcher Jeremy Corbell, Lands May Release (Exclusive)
Falcon Scout Media distributes director Michael Lazovsky's feature about a leading voice behind the push for UAP disclosure.

George Knapp and Jeremy Corbell in 'Sleeping Dog.' Falcon Scout Media
A documentary feature about a notable researcher of unexplained phenomena is ready to launch.
Falcon Scout Media has acquired North American rights for Sleeping Dog and is planning a mid-May theatrical and digital release. Director Michael Lazovsky’s movie focuses on filmmaker and ufologist Jeremy Corbell, who is known for his UFO research and for directing the 2018 documentary Bob Lazar: Area 51 & Flying Saucers.
Sleeping Dog has been decades in the making and chronicles Corbell’s unlikely path from mixed martial artist to a journalist at the center of the battle for disclosure of unidentified anomalous phenomena. Corbell has worked with investigative reporter George Knapp to obtain and release military-filmed UAP footage and has provided briefings to Congress.
The documentary includes previously unseen footage from Corbell’s early investigations, in addition to interviews with such insiders as astronaut Dr. Edgar Mitchell, Col. John B. Alexander, John Lear, Bob Lazar, David Grusch, Edmund Storms and Cmdr. David Fravor. The film examines the challenges that Corbell has faced in his efforts to bring a spotlight to his findings.
“This is the most difficult thing I have ever allowed people to see, personally,” Corbell says in a statement.
Corbell and Lazovsky produce the film that counts Jim Martin as executive producer. WME’s Lance Klein represents the project.
Sleeping Dog’s release arrives amid Hollywood’s renewed fascination with alien life. The Ryan Gosling-led Project Hail Mary is currently a box office hit, while Steven Spielberg’s Disclosure Day hits theaters this summer, and Ryan Coogler is spearheading a reboot of The X-Files.
“I believe people will be genuinely shocked, as I was,” says Lazovsky, who previously helmed the short film Magdalena. “I came into this as a complete outsider, and I was shocked. Not only by Jeremy Corbell’s investigative journey — but by the extent to which he has influenced public transparency, and the remarkable level of engagement he receives on a daily basis by intelligence agencies.”

Those MJ12 docs came from legitimate 'continuity of government' materials that were modified so the bulk of them are legitimate but the intent and subject were skewed. They came from a roll of 35mm film that was anonymously dropped off in Jamie Shandera's mailbox in 1984. He was a TV producer with an interest in UFOs who immediately partnered with Bill Moore.
Bill Moore cowrote The Philadelphia Experiment and The Roswell Incident with Charles Berlitz who also wrote The Bermuda Triangle. According to Moore Berlitz once told him 'don't worry about truth just write the book'
Moore famously outed himself in 1989 as a disinformation agent working at the behest of the AFOSI who included Richard Doty in its ranks.
The Bermuda Triangle, Philadelphia Experiment, MJ12 and Roswell have been sufficiently debunked IMO yet refuse to go away and in fact seem to gain steam as they are presented to younger audiences. Yet they all come from very questionable sources. Old farts like me remember all this so when Doty starts in again talking nonsense I just roll my eyes.......................

What it seems to me that Richard Doty is doing is that with approval of the his former bosses he's doing Disclosure without Disclosure.
The main conundrum that bosses have is that Congress is after them for doing unconstitutional stuff so they can end up prosecuted. While on other side, they are doing their patriotic duty and protecting state's technological advantage.
So, in order to prevent releasing technologies that came from UFO crashes etc., somebody somewhere deep inside administration, made a short-term fix deal, where Richard Doty and few other former secret operatives are essentially selectively disclosing non-technological content of secret UFO dosies. Off course, these leaks are spiced up with some miss-information, just for a good measure, That gets bosses off the hook for un-constitutional offences, and general public gets semi official disclosure.
