What the Wall Street Journal isn't telling you about UFOs | Reality Check

In this episode of "Reality Check," Ross Coulthart sits down with former Air Force official Mario Woods and former Marine and UAP researcher Rob Heatherly. Woods had an NHI encounter in 1977 while on duty at Ellsworth Air Force Base, describing the craft he witnessed as the size of a Walmart. Heatherly has been researching many of the claims made in a recent article from The Wall Street Journal. Together, they dive into the supposed “bombshell” piece, rebutting and expanding upon the “explosive” claims.
