60 Minutes Australia star Ross Coulthart makes stunning claim about what’s hidden in the outback: ‘Nobody’s talking about this’
An investigative journalist has claimed Australia is a ‘hotbed’ of UFOs after bizarre, unidentified objects were spotted hovering over military bases.
Former 60 Minutes Australia star Ross Coulthart told businessman and podcast host Mark Bouris that UFO sightings date back decades in Australia.
‘I’m currently in touch with people from that Air Force Base in northern Australia, who tell me that there’s been a spate of sightings of anomalous craft over RAAF Base Tindal,’ he said.
‘These people are telling me that they’re seeing UFOs. They’re seeing anomalous objects. Nobody’s been able to explain to them what they are.
‘Everybody’s in a complete flummox about it, but I suspect it’s because the Americans have actually got nuclear weapons on Australian soil.’
Coulthart said sources inside Australia’s military and intelligence community ‘admit there are regularly breaches of the airspace over sensitive military facilities’.
‘Recently, there was one over Richmond in Sydney. There was an object… I won’t call it a drone, that sat there and hovered for over an hour and a half,’ he said.
‘It was recorded. It was reported to the relevant authorities, but they couldn’t do anything to bring it down.’

It comes just weeks after a group of workers have reported seeing an unidentified object in the sky near Fortescue Metals Group’s Solomon mine site in Western Australia’s Pilbara region
‘We’ve allowed ourselves to become Fortress Australia for America, and we’ve got, I suspect, nuclear weapons on northern soil in Australia. Nobody’s talking about this.’
Coulthart said there was a history of UFO sightings in Australia that goes back decades, citing witness and former head of the Defence Department’s Joint Intelligence Organisation Nuclear Branch Harry Turner.
Mr Turner allegedly saw intelligently controlled craft hovering over secretive British nuclear weapon tests in the South Australian desert at Maralinga during the 1950s and 1960s, according to the National Archives of Australia.
‘As a senior scientist in the Defence Department, Turner actually pushed for Australia to set up its own UFO Flying Squad investigative team,’ Coulthart said.
‘He wanted a plane on standby so that we could scramble and go and investigate UFO incidents.’
Daily Mail has asked the Department of Defence whether Australia has a policy on the reporting or recording of UAP by the public or military personnel.
The comments come weeks after a group of miners shared disturbing photos of a ‘UFO’ in the remote region of Western Australia during an early-morning drive.
The six workers were stunned when they saw the airborne object near Fortescue Metals Group’s Solomon mine site in the Pilbara region at about 5am on December 7.

The group spotted the ‘UFO’ while driving from their laboratory worksite to catch a bus back to camp in the Hamersley Ranges.
Last year, a bizarre object was found on fire in remote WA with no visible signs to indicate how it got there.
Police coordinated a multi-agency response after the item was found in October close to a mining site near the small town of Newman.
The large black object was similar to other known space re-entry debris, WA Police said in a statement.
A month earlier, there were reports of strange lights in the sky near Point Moore in Geraldton, 420km north of Perth.
Perth Observatory received several reports of lights across a widespread area, which a spokesperson described as ‘very confusing’.
At the time, the Department of Defence said there were no military training activities in the area on the night of the sightings.
