Since 2017 much of Ross’ investigative work has focussed on the phenomenon of Unidentified Anomalous Phenomena (UAPs) aka UFOs, a subject long stigmatised and ridiculed but now acknowledged officially by the US Government to be an authentic scientific mystery worthy of serious investigation. 

In June 2023, Ross’ exclusive television interview with former senior intelligence officer David Grusch revealed Grusch’s investigations with the Pentagon’s UAP Task Force had uncovered a secret US Government and private aerospace UAP craft retrieval and reverse engineering program, knowledge of which has been withheld from Congressional oversight. 

In January 2025, Ross’ exclusive television interview with former US intelligence operative Jake Barber brought to public light for the first time, direct on-the-record evidence of the US Government’s covert NHI technology program. 

Ross has worked as an investigative journalist across TV and newspapers, including the Sydney Morning Herald, the Australian Broadcasting Corporation’s Four Corners, Nine’s Sunday show and 60 Minutes, and the Seven’s Sunday Night investigative public affairs show.

A law graduate, Ross has written six best-selling books, including In Plain Sight: An Investigation into UFOs & Impossible Science (HarperCollins 2021). One of his three First World War histories, Charles Bean, won the 2015 Australian Prime Minister’s Literary Award for Australian History.
