Ross Coulthart explores an ancient alien mystery, gaining access to never-before-seen mummies that some researchers say could hold the key to the UFO question. Is it too good to be true, or a crucial next step toward disclosure?

In this week’s episode, we find Ross at the ancient site of Rapa Nui, also known as Easter Island. The Moai statues are some of the most impressive examples of early engineering, but that also leaves many unanswered questions. How did they move the 70-ton statues, what was their purpose and what happened to the people on Rapa Nui?

Hi Ross, I appreciate and respect your work on the phenomena and have followed your investigative journalism work for years nowmgoing back to your time at Channel 7 and in particular have always admired your forthright, no nonsense approach on your 60 Minutes articles. You really have brought a thorough legitimacy to the UAP field and although I’ve always been fascinated by this mysterious and at times confounding subject your work over the last 3-4 years has brought the subject from the fringe right into the modern vernacular, something the legacy media has failed dismally at. Id just like to take this opportunity to thank you for that! This is the most important story in all of human civilisation’s history and I am dumbfounded that mainstream media has ignored the significance of it. Thank you for all youve done and continue to do! Keep up the outstanding work and fight the good fight and always remember to “Give em a taste of Kiwi mate!”

It's always fascinated me! Maybe one day a future civilization will look back at us and wonder over what ever marvels may seem like marvels to them.

“Goblins are often depicted as lovers of music, particularly singing. In many tales, they gather at dusk or during special occasions to sing songs that range from mischievous ditties to haunting melodies. These songs are said to echo through the forests and hills, sometimes bewitching or disorienting unwary travelers. Goblins use their voices not just for entertainment but also as a form of communication within their communities, sometimes even singing to ward off enemies or to celebrate their achievements. This aspect of goblin culture adds a layer of depth to their character, portraying them as beings capable of art and expression, not just mischief.”

I just got back last month from an absolutely incredible journey to Easter island with Contact At The Cabin... I was blessed to meet and become friends with both Alejandro and Camila of Easter island expeditions... I cannot recommend making this journey enough... The island and the people and the vibe is just beautiful and perfect... True freedom... !!:)

I love seeing Ross out investigating things. All we'd need is further production like recreations and actual corroborating evidence uncovered.
