This is Need to Know. Real talk about the reality of unidentified aerial phenomena.

0:06.0

From Australia, Ross Coltart and from the US, Bryce Zabel.

0:11.0

Well, hello, good evening and welcome to what I think is a very important and historic edition of Need to Know.

0:19.0

Tonight, literally just minutes ago, I finished the studio with News Nation,

0:24.7

where we interviewed Dave Grush and then did the post-show analysis. And here to join me in the

0:31.0

post-mortem is my colleague and good friend Bryce Zabel from Los Angeles. Ross, it was an amazing night for you, for sure,

So I had to bolt to a town about 20 minutes away. We were on a big hill, which unfortunately is very, very cold. So I was standing

1:38.9

there in my very big thick jacket and it was about five degrees centigrade. It was very, very cold day. And what a relief
