Ok, I watched the video. Giant waste of time with just rehashed old cases and a couple of wacky new claims about portals and secret bases.
02:28
First segment is Coulthart talking to the Border Patrol "whistleblower", Bob Thompson, and UFO podcaster Andy Marcial.
They just rehash two old videos:
"La Bruja":

The "rubber duck":
https://www.metabunk.org/threads/dhs-rubber-duck-footage.12054/
They tell stories about how CPB and military pilots see spooky strange stuff like this all the time in the area.
07:27
Lue Elizondo cameo, where he says spooky strange stuff happens in AZ.
07:46
NewsNation border reporter Ali Bradley, talking about how cartels use drones for surveillance and drug smuggling.
09:59
NewsNation reporter Rich McHugh showing what are very clearly airplanes during the NJ drone flap, and calling them mystery drones.
10:31
Coulthart says AARO calls the objects in the DHS videos drones. I am not aware of AARO making any statements about them.
12:23
Coulthart visits SCU HQ and talks to board member Rich Hoffman about the "La Bruja" video. Hoffman says there was no wind so it was under intelligent control. SCU member Matthew Szydagis says it doesn't look like a drone or plane, and the camera is in black hot mode and the object is white, so it's not an animal or a machine. He says we have not only the video but stories from witnesses and "trained observers can't identify them" so they must be anomalous. No discussion about how balloons can appear cold.
15:24
Coulthart talks to SCU member Peter Reali who authored their report on the "rubber duck". He says it had a unique shape, the camera was in black hot* mode so it wasn't a drone, and the pilots said it was going against the wind so it can't be a balloon.
16:40
Another Elizondo cameo where he says the "rubber duck" is anomalous.
17:30
Back to Reali, they rehash the SCU "rubber duck" report claiming the object is circling. He says there's no natural prosaic explanation that could explain the object circling for 40 minutes. Hoffman says there's no rational explanation. They do not discuss the possibility that it's actually the camera moving.
17:58
Coulthart talks to the Tedesco brothers. A couple of highly cropped in clips of blobs of light they captured. I can't tell, but one of them might be the clip discussed here:
https://www.metabunk.org/threads/news-nation-light-in-the-sky-video-tedesco-brothers.13684/ They talk about the spooky strange stuff they captured.
19:50
Coulhart links the DHS videos to the classic Phoenix Lights case, which has been discussed here:
https://www.metabunk.org/threads/phoenix-lights.11938 He talks to medical doctor Lynne Kitei at the UFO Experience museum in Scottsdale, AZ. They rehash the case, and Kitei says it can't be flares because the effect hasn't been replicated with flares. While they are saying this, Coulthart is showing clips of countermeasure flares rather than illumination flares. She is apparently not familiar with the 29 Palms case, as discussed here:
https://www.metabunk.org/threads/twentynine-palms-camp-wilson-triangle-uap-flares.12967
23:08
Elizondo cameo where he says we know they weren't flares. He correctly describes illumination flares. He says they burn out, but that didn't happen with the Phoenix lights.
23:31
I don't know why they made this editing choice, but right after Elizondo says that they cut to Kitei saying two lights just disappeared and showing a clip of them fading out, showing exactly what Elizondo says didn't happen.
23:45
Coulthart and Kitei talk about how there are supposedly interdimensional portals in AZ.
24:21
Coulthart talks to John Dover, former Navajo Ranger. He says they have portals on the reservation, and you could walk into once without seeing it. They talk about Navajo religion including deities who taught the people, and say they were really talking about aliens. The "La Bruja" video was filmed over native land, so it's definitely the same aliens who visited the ancestral Navajo.
26:03
Bob Thompson says CBP agents reported they saw interdimensional portals opening in the sky.
27:06
Coulthart goes to Sedona, AZ to talk to Jeremiah Horstman and Alexandra Caldwell who believe the government built a secret crash recovery base over an interdimensional portal.
28:10
Coulthart shows Michael Shellenberger talking about how Immaculate Constellation is real. This has been discussed here:
https://www.metabunk.org/threads/im...-uap-identification-and-crash-retrieval.13694 and here:
https://www.metabunk.org/threads/ma...stellation-report-author-whistleblower.14170/
28:48
Coulthart talks to Horstman and Caldwell about their sighting of an alleged disk shaped UFO being escorted by a helicopter. They took a picture of it with their ipad. It just looks like the standard bird/bug in the foreground we always see (I presume the reticle was added by NewsNation as they did on other photos they have shown throughout the piece).
They also captured a picture of a "square shaped hillside entrance [the the base?] with an intense light emmenating from inside." It just looks like a light on a hill (possibly a fire, vehicle lights, etc).
30:00
Coulthart bring up Jake Barber as "hard evidence". It's just clips from the Barber interview with no hard evidence presented. The egg video is shown. This has been discussed here:
https://www.metabunk.org/threads/ja...hart-about-non-human-technology-the-egg.13949
32:20
Coulthart talks to UFO author Tom Dongo about his claims that Bradshaw Ranch has an interdimensional portal that UFOs fly out of. He shows Coulthart pictures of random lights and what looks like a long exposure picture of light leaving a trail. He says they are coming out of the ground, but it looks like they are just appearing from over the horizon.
33:28
Elizondo cameo where he says we know the government is hiding recovered craft and of course he can't say anything about them or where they are.
33:50
Coulthart goes to the Bradshaw Ranch with Horstman and Caldwell. There's a Northern Arizona University gardening experiment near by. They say it's cover for the secret deep underground military base.
34:45
Coulthart meets with Melinda Leslie to see some UFOs at one of her paid sighting events. They use PVS-7 gen 3 night vision goggles to look at airplanes, helicopters and satellites. It looks like she is pointing at them with a laser pointer which is quite dangerous for the pilots of the planes and helos.
38:28
Bob Thompson shows the never before seen video of "the cigar". Hoffman from SCU says it has propulsion so it might be a missile. Reali contradicts this as says it doesn't seem to have any lift mechanism and is a uniform color so it's a mystery what it is.
Edit: I incorrectly said Mr. Reali said the "rubber duck" video was white hot mode, but he correctly stated it was black hot mode and white is cold, but I misheard.
