[James Fox] Офицер, который протянул руку, теперь наклоняется в том направлении, в котором лежит ребенок (а не коллеги-офицеры). Сделал это для привлечения внимания. Кнапп сказал, что собирается проверить это, поэтому я уверен, что он скоро получит обновление. Я иду с HOAX.
The officer who reached out is now leaning in the direction that the kid (not fellow officers) is lying. Made it up for attention. Knapp said he was going to check it out so I’m sure he’ll have an update soon. I’m going with HOAX.

Imagine my shock that a crude circle drawn in sand with a stick turned out to not be a crash impact, and that the pixelated shadow cast by a tree under a carport turned out not to be an alien’s head.
I’m confused, was this entire family just waiting for an object to fall out of the sky before activating their “alien hoax plan”?
The whole family agreed that it was a good idea to call the police at midnight and report aliens in the backyard for the laughs?
Police body camera footage, ring doorbell footage all corroborate that something indeed fell out of the sky. I’m inclined to take the family at their word that they saw something peculiar in their backyard. Whether aliens or not, I’m not sure.
First he tweets that officers are telling him FBI is deleting evidence. Now he says the officer is leaning towards it being a prank. Fox and his «sources» ladies and gents.
I *really* hope we can stop flooding the sub with Vegas posts now. Grusch is the real story.
I don’t get it why would his parents precipitate in this.
I believed everything around this case until the kids video. The bodycam footage is obviously real, and the neighbors ring footage with the weird boom seems legit.
Once he brought that circle into play it got really sketchy. I don’t remember him ever saying it was a crash (that seemed inferred later but I could be wrong) but still the circle looked very much like it was made with a stick or something.
Also, his YouTube channel name (even before people found that other account) was suspect. He seemed very ready to cash out.
Big question is will he face charges for lying to the police?
Bigger question is: will people stop posting God damn screenshots with nothing in them now?
Many new folks here need to understand that this happens every other month. 99% of what is posted is untrue, a hoax or has a prosaic explanation.
Listen, we all want something about this phenomenon to be true. People hate on skepticism and good science. That’s the opposite of what you should be doing.
Wow the teenager with an alien youtube avatar who sells NFTs was hoaxing???
My favorite part of this were the people absolutely convinced they saw an alien in the blurry screen grabs of that shitty video
So,… All these videos with the lines helping outline this visitor, are waste time? 😭😭😭.
Absolutely shocking (not)
And the media will trumpet the hoax as being the case with these UFO stories.
Wouldn’t there be some footprints or other marks in that gravel besides that circle (that looks like anyone could make with a shoe)? Too many things just add up to a hoax to me. My guess is that a meteor fell near his house and he quickly thought it would be fun to pretend it was a ufo that landed in his backyard, aliens, etc. He’s also probably realizing it was a bad idea with all the attention he’s getting and that’s why he won’t talk to the media anymore. I doubt he’ll be posting anymore videos

Didn’t this guy, James Fox, claim that the FBI was scrubbing police bodycam footage just yesterday? His credibility on this story seems to be going all over the place.

He called 911. It’s a criminal offense to hoax 911.
If it was a hoax how come the kid and his parents were not arrested for pranking the 911 service?
* No damage to the house or backyard
* No fire, no debris
* No footprints
* No one saw where these «aliens» or «craft» went
* No clear video or picture despite having his phone out and recording a 3 second clip of nothing (blurry pixelated mess in the shadows isn’t evidence, sorry)
* Multiple people in the house who all failed to get a picture or video
* No one else in the neighborhood reporting a crash near them
* Body cam video looks exactly like a meteorite
* Police leave the scene joking, do not seem to be taking it that seriously
This is why witness testimony is useless without corroborating evidence
The same officer that said FBI was involved in some cover up?
The kid may or may not be disingenuous but let’s not pretend like people haven’t been influenced or paid off before to cover stuff up. The kid is young and vulnerable and should be given serious benefit of doubt.
Ok but how do we solve so many morons posting bs screenshots of aliens drawn behind a forklift then getting support from other gullible morons.
It really diminishes credibility when people bite on anything and not let
go.
So wait, James went from saying people saw black SUVs around the property and that police were coming forward saying the FBI was wiping body cam footage to “it’s probably a hoax, nevermind.” What the fuck?
There’s so much bullshit in this story from every angle
So at one point the officer reached out to talk about it, now is changing his tune? Seems fishy
That kid is a prick it that’s the case and should be charged with wasting police time
I think James Fox has a pretty good balance of skepticism, that’s what gives his documentaries a lot of credibility for me

Come on guys, I love being excited about these things, but this is why people clown on us. So many red flags with this story from the start. The UFO footage and explosion are incredibly similar to meteorites, the lack of a crash site in a populated area, the kid came out right when David’s story is blowing up (and yet he apparently didn’t do it for clout), he literally named his channel «Alien society51». And the video footage is so unclear you could draw any shape over it and make it believeable.
I’m not convinced one way or another in this case, but lets go through the «hoax» narrative here for a second:
1. Kid sees meteor in the middle of the night
2. Immediately hatches a plan to say there are aliens in his backyard
3. Makes 911 call
4. Convinces his entire family to go along with it — for a month+ ongoing
5. Stages video where his mom is freaked out about something in the backyard
6. Gets the cops to come back and install and then take down (?) security cameras over the next few weeks (c.f. Doug Poppa)
So that’s what we’re going with?
COUPLE THINGS
. Do y’all realize that this happened a month ago. When they realized the footage why didn’t they say it was a hoax from when they released the footage.
If he doing this for fame or money why won’t he get interviewed by the new stations calling him?
The thing that gets me is the timing — the 911 call happened 8 minutes after the ‘meteor’ was sighted overhead. Is that really enough time to formulate an alien sighting hoax?
I suppose it is, but 8 minutes is not a lot of time to make that decision, come up with a story, and report that story to the police. Not to mention that it’s a criminal act to hoax a 911 call.
Ugh, this story sucks. I want to believe it (I think?) but something just smells fishy here. No clear photos/videos, footage from the backyard security camera missing, no verification from nearby neighbors or pedestrians of a crash….
But then again, where is the impact crater? Where is the object?
Dammit!!!!!
I refuse to believe that life on other planets would even remotely resemble anthropoids or have similar features. Or even resemble life on earth at all.
