Reality Check
In this episode of Reality Check, Ross Coulthart sits down with Bryce Zabel and Brent Friedman, the co-creators of "Dark Skies" and the new investigative podcast "Sound, Light and Frequency," to explore the alleged hidden relationship between Hollywood, the Pentagon, Naval Intelligence, the CIA, UFOs, UAPs and government secrecy.
Bryce and Brent recount a remarkable story: After launching "Dark Skies" in 1996, they say they were approached by a man claiming to be from the Office of Naval Intelligence, who suggested they had “gotten a lot right” and wanted to help shape what went into the show. They also revisit the mysterious piece of paper said to contain the “secret of the universe.”
