Ross has really gone off the deep end…
This clip showed up on my timeline:

I once thought Ross was pretty grounded—an actual journalist who rightly questioned the evidence. Even when he talked about giant UFOs hidden underground or alluded to some mysterious orb he reported on without ever following up, he seemed more focused on facts than fluff.
However, the video above makes me wonder if he’s lost that objective stance. It feels like a signal that he might be leaning too far into the “woo” territory.
I should clarify that I’m open to some of these “woo” elements and believe that many will eventually be substantiated. But that requires time and, more importantly, solid evidence. Real demonstrations would go a long way in this discussion.
When Ross mentions that the phenomena are guiding him and manifesting in his daughter’s life, it comes across as a captivating narrative, but it lacks concrete proof.
Is he suggesting that non-human intelligence (NHI) only reveals itself to those with psychic abilities? That seems like a way to create barriers to inquiry, and more troubling, it discourages critical questioning.
If Ross claims NHI is steering his journalism, it almost seems like a tactic to dismiss anyone who seeks tangible evidence.
Honestly, it’s disappointing.
Independent voices calling for proof of extraordinary claims are incredibly rare; perhaps I was naive to trust Ross’s professionalism.
He feels more akin to Chris Bledsoe than a serious journalist these days.
Who knows—maybe Ross will eventually reveal the location of that massive UFO, but increasingly, he sounds like someone who insists, “You don’t have to believe it; it’s true regardless.”
It’s certainly a significant shift to see someone like Ross, who was once pretty level-headed and focused on seeking proof, leaning into the more nebulous aspects of the phenomenon. It’s understandable to feel disappointed, especially when there are so few independent voices advocating for rigorous skepticism in a field that can easily veer into the realm of the unbelievable.
Your point about the potential for gatekeeping is intriguing. If NHI (Non-Human Intelligence) is only accessible to those with specific abilities, it raises questions about transparency and accountability in reporting on such extraordinary claims. It seems counterproductive to have a narrative that discourages critical questioning or demands evidence—especially in a domain that thrives on misunderstanding and sensationalism.
It’s good to be open to various possibilities, but without evidence or demonstration, it’s hard to reconcile the leap from rational inquiry to the almost mystical interpretations that Ross seems to be suggesting. The notion that the phenomenon is “guiding” him is compelling as a personal experience but lacks the kind of substantiation that would validate it to a broader audience.
Ultimately, maintaining a balance between openness to new ideas and a healthy skepticism is crucial. It’s essential to continue advocating for proof in this field, especially as more narratives emerge that could obscure genuine inquiry. Let’s hope Ross finds a way to bridge that gap and doesn’t lose the critical edge that made his work so compelling in the first place.
