In this episode of "Reality Check," Ross Coulthart sits down with a UAP researcher known online as @UAPGerb. Together, they trace the secret history of the UAP legacy program, from its origins after the 1947 Roswell crash through today's disclosure fight. Gerb lays out allegations that Lue Elizondo is being positioned for a National Security Council role to help engineer limited, controlled disclosure, similar to what Gerb says happened under Director of National Intelligence James Clapper and the AATIP program in 2016.
The two dig into the Podesta emails, the Majestic-12 and Eisenhower briefing document controversies, the deaths of James Forrestal and JFK and how control of crash-retrieval programs allegedly shifted from the National Security Council into private aerospace hands in the 1990s. Gerb argues David Grusch remains the key figure capable of forcing real accountability, and Coulthart presses him on why Congress and even the president may lack the power to compel answers.
