Ross Coulthart explores mysterious untold stories using a fact-based approach to address various topics, from unidentified aerial phenomena to other mysteries that often go unreported. Now, he is turning to viewers, answering their pressing questions each week. In this week's episode, Coulthart tackles questions about the "Mars face" anomaly, allegations that officials with the Office of the Director of National Intelligence retaliated against whistleblowers and Jacques Vallée's claims about a submarine-launched drone during the 2004 Nimitz "Tic-Tac" encounter. Coulthart also breaks down how he vets sources inside the alleged legacy program and unpacks President Trump's comments about a secretive "discombobulator" weapon used during the operation that captured Nicolás Maduro.
