Description

In this episode of "Reality Check," Ross Coulthart sits down with John Seer, a UK-based former Royal Navy sailor and author who says decades of intuitive "downloads" from nonhuman intelligence began with a UAP encounter at sea when he was just 16 years old. Seer traces the story back to a childhood near-death experience at age 12, when a golf club to the head sent him to a place he describes as pure white and filled with love, an experience he believes opened the channel everything else would later flow through. He recounts the sighting witnessed from the bridge of his warship, the jets scrambled in response and the captain's announcement over the intercom that what the crew had just seen, they had not. He then describes the lowest moment of his life, a train ride during which a monk-like figure appeared, turned around, and held a conversation with him that seemed to move outside of time, the encounter that set the downloads in motion. From there, the conversation widens into the philosophy of death, the idea of bodies as containers for souls, urgent warnings about artificial superintelligence and the year 2027, and the hypothesis, drawing on Dr. Michael Masters' work, that the "Greys" are not visitors from another world but a future iteration of humanity returning to its own past. John answers the skeptics directly, explains why he believes full disclosure will never come, and shares the downloads he says the public needs to hear before time runs out. #JohnSeer #nonhumanintelligence #neardeathexperience CREDITS: Host: Ross Coulthart Executive Producer: Andy Gipson Editorial Producer: Meagan Medick Segment Producer: Christine Jenkinson Associate Producer: Will Tomasi Research Producer: Rob Jones Editor: Maria Morales-Salazar On "Reality Check," NewsNation Special Correspondent Ross Coulthart takes a fact-based approach to tackle everything from unidentified aerial phenomena (UAPs) to mysteries often missing from the headlines.

I did not have an NDE but a Spirit saved my life. I was sailing singlehanded from Tonga to Fiji and was just getting close to the first outlaying Fijian islands around 4:00am. when an old white haired man in a brown flannel shirt appeared in front of me. He was grabbing on to the companion way ladder like he was about to go up on deck and he was looking right at me. I could see through him. I took it as a warning to go up on deck and immediately saw I was about to slam into a coral reef. He was warning me. Obviously I was able to save my boat and myself. I also experienced the same emotions that he describes in this video, just not the downloads. I was an athiest before my experience. I am no longer one now.

I was 5yo when I crossed the street on my little bike. Next thing, I was being dragged out from under a car. The handlebars of the bike were facing the wrong way, and the bike had a small scratch. I was completely unharmed. Not a bruise nor a scratch nor pain. I remember adults panicking over me. Other times in my life where I should have died, I survived. I am now 81yo. Happy Chappy.

Hey Ross, thank you so much for having this gentleman on News Nation. I absolutely adore your open mind and that you give people the platform to share their experience with other consciousness that most people don't believe in. You're the best. Love, peace and fortitude. ❤

8:45 this is crazy because I was having a surgery when I was 9, I remember floating up on the ceiling looking down and watching the Drs. Work on me. It got very bright behind me so I turned myself around, blinding white light, then I seen a hand come through the light, I wasn't frightened or anything, just a sense of calm, and I grabbed the hand and my father who had passed away 2 years prior was there with a smile on his face. Then I fell back straight into my body and woke up on the surgical table, they put the mask back on my face because I woke up, and went back to sleep. I'm 34 almost 35 and I still remember everything like it was yesterday.

I get a lot of downloads but there was one massive one. Absolutely life changing. I’ve never had a near death experience but I do believe I’ve been protected from my stupid decisions that should have killed me many times. I believe this man

Ross, thank you for showing such respect to John and his messages. We started a group amongst six friends —we’ve grown now to 20 strong because so many of us are receiving messages that are way more clever than we are, way more intelligent, way more loving., so now we are sharing them with each other. We have no idea where these messages come from, but we’re starting to treat them with respect and not be embarrassed by them as much.. hearing the messages is one thing accepting them is much harder. Together, this is great wisdom coming through thank you.
