Reality Check
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. In this episode of "Reality Check," Coulthart sits down with David Burkett, author of the new book “Lies Above: How the Pentagon Misled Congress and Cost America Its Skies.” Burkett is a cybersecurity researcher at cybersecurity firm Corelight Labs and part of an aerospace defense team that earned the Defense Counterintelligence and Security Agency’s Cogswell Award.
He calls himself a lifelong skeptic who changed his mind after digging into the data. Burkett explains why he believes the government’s handling of UAPs is a scandal, starting with the 1967 Malmstrom nuclear missile shutdown and Dr. Sean Kirkpatrick’s later explanation that it was an electromagnetic pulse test. They also discuss the Condon Committee’s blind spot, the unexplained 2024 New Jersey drone incursions and the sensor data behind the 2004 Nimitz “Tic Tac” encounter. Burkett also explains why a break-in at a source’s home convinced him whistleblowers face real retaliation.
