A grift exposed

An Expose on the Grift: The UFO Community, and the Corruption of Truth

To the UFO community,

I’m writing this as a man who has seen enough. I’ve spent far too many sleepless nights staring at my screen, combing through the endless noise that passes for "UFO disclosure" in this world. I am beyond frustrated with the circus of grifters, the charlatans, the false prophets of this so-called UFO community who have poisoned the well of truth with their lies and their exploitation of our curiosity.

Ross Coulthart and his crew at NewsNation, along with the usual suspects—Gary Nolan, Lou Elizondo, Michael Herrera, Diane, and the rest of this self-congratulatory circle—have perfected the art of deception. They dangle the tantalizing carrot of "world-changing disclosure" in front of the public, making us believe that they’re on the cusp of revealing the truth about extraterrestrial life, UFOs, and government cover-ups. The promises are endless, but what they deliver is nothing but empty promises, shrouded in vagueness, manipulation, and a complete lack of accountability.

I’m not writing this as someone who is simply skeptical of their claims. I’m writing this as someone who feels personally betrayed by the tactics these people use. I’m writing this as someone who has watched these so-called "experts" inflate their own importance, craft false narratives, and sell us all a line of bullshit. And the worst part? They’re making money off it. Their podcast numbers grow, their books sell, their social media followings swell, all on the backs of people like you and me, desperate for answers in a world that often leaves us questioning everything.

Why is it always the same group of people confirming each other’s biases? It’s the ultimate echo chamber. A select few are using their positions to feed into each other’s narratives, reinforcing their own self-importance while avoiding any real scrutiny. They operate in a feedback loop of confirmation, one voice bouncing off the other, until it becomes impossible to separate fact from fiction.

Ross Coulthart and NewsNation are prime examples of this. Their so-called "world-changing" UFO disclosures are little more than smoke and mirrors. This past weekend, they hyped up a supposed groundbreaking revelation that had been teased for weeks. Coulthart promised something extraordinary—something that would shift the very fabric of reality as we know it. What did we get? A 10-second video clip of something that could have been anything. A chicken egg. A rock. A plastic prop. Who knows? But to Ross and his crew, it was enough to keep us all tuning in. And when we did, they asked us to "trust them"—to wait until next week for the big reveal. How many times have we heard that now?

This group’s approach is built on one thing: exploitation. They’ve learned that UFOs, like any other sensational topic, are a goldmine. They offer no real evidence, no substantive proof, but they create a spectacle—one that draws in viewers, listeners, and readers who are looking for something to believe in. These people know exactly what they’re doing. They understand that, for many, the need for answers is stronger than the need for the truth.

And let’s talk about Gary Nolan—this so-called "medical expert" who has somehow gained credibility in this world of pseudoscience. He shows up everywhere, adding a veneer of legitimacy to the most absurd claims. He’s a key part of this circus, propped up to give a scientific-sounding voice to what is essentially a pile of unverified nonsense. Nolan is a master of using big words and vague ideas to make himself appear knowledgeable while offering nothing tangible to back it up. He is, in my view, the quintessential “intellectual” grifter, offering empty promises of answers wrapped in the guise of academic authority.

The most frustrating thing is that it’s so obvious. These people are playing on our collective emotions, capitalizing on our curiosity, our need for understanding in a chaotic world. But let’s be clear about one thing: this is not disclosure. This is not some fight for truth. It’s a money-making operation, dressed up as a noble cause. And those of us who are fed up, those of us who are seeing through the lies—they’re dismissing us as "non-believers" or "cynics."

I don’t care what anyone calls me. What I care about is the truth. And the truth is, this UFO industry has become nothing more than a charade. It’s a game for these so-called experts who have no intention of ever revealing the truth—they’re just out for personal gain. They’ve found a community that is so desperate for answers that they can sell them anything and call it "disclosure." They’ve built an empire on our skepticism and our hunger for something more.

I want this to end. I want people to see this for what it truly is: a scam. A well-oiled machine designed to extract money, time, and energy from those of us who are seeking answers. If anyone needs to be held accountable, it’s these self-proclaimed whistleblowers and UFO "experts" who have done nothing but perpetuate the cycle of misinformation. They’ve manipulated us, and they continue to do so because they can. And that is why I am writing this—to expose it, to shine a light on the deceit and the manipulation.

If you’re reading this, I urge you to look at these figures critically. Don’t fall for the bait-and-switch. Ask the tough questions. Demand the evidence. And if you’re like me, and you’re tired of the grift, take a stand. We deserve better than this. We deserve the truth, not more smoke and mirrors.

In conclusion, this is a call to action. A call to stop giving our attention to these charlatans. A call to demand transparency, accountability, and above all, honesty. We owe it to ourselves to stop feeding this circus, to stop letting these grifters profit off of our hopes and fears.

The truth is out there—let’s make sure it stays in the hands of those who actually want to uncover it.

Mind of the Mindless.
