I'm not saying I necessarily distrust the guy -- he of course conducted the best interview of Grusch.

But I feel like every day I check on this sub and there's some new wild claim Coulthart is making. A couple off the top of my head:

"The aliens are us, from the future"

"A UFO so large they can't move it and had to build a massive building to conceal it outside the US"

Like these are *massive* claims about both the state of reality itself, and about a very specific building and location.

Surely he could provide *something* by now? If he's hearing all this, is he just taking people at his word?

And if the reason is that the info is classified, why are they allowed to speak to him about it, but not show him a single shred of evidence that he can make public?

Again, I *want* to trust Coulthart here but his style is increasingly coming off like Greer -- wild, fantastical claims always with the promise that evidence will be forthcoming imminently -- but it never materializes.

EDIT: I feel like a lot of people have blinders on because they desperately *want* this to be true. I also want this to be true, but ask yourself how much you would trust a "journalist" on any other topic who makes earthshaking claims but never provides evidence for them?

I think these journalists start off with the best of intentions and then go down the rabbit holes in order to stay relevant. Some of the UFO community and new agers don’t want the nuts and bolts stuff as it’s getting boring or don’t fit with their beliefs.

I hate this carrot on a string stuff as much as anyone else.
