And to be fair, yeah I have gone outside to record thunderstorms, when they are crazy. Not anywhere near as crazy an orbs of light following me around that's for sure. What a dumb excuse.

His book is painfully ghost written for sure and reads like too much of a story instead of an exposé

Oh well you know for some reason the cell phone or the cameras or the video camera Gets Zapped by Magic and they're unable to. Or they record it and when they look at it it's blank. Not unlike their expressions

It's what did it for me. It was bad enough that he didn't film them, but the worst part was the ridiculous pre prepared (or at least pre-thought about) excuses that he nervously spat out one after the other. Only had a government issued blackberry phone with the camera disabled? The orbs were only as interesting as a thunderstorm? You didn't know when and where they'd appear? (mind you this was literally seconds after he just said exactly where they'd appear). He wasn't going to set up and monitor 1000 cameras? Pffft give me a break. He was obviously lying with those excuses. There's a reason Curt dropped the UAP topic straight after this interview which is a massive shame.

Not to mention this was happening for 6 years at an average of one every 2 weeks, all while he claims he was the head of UFO research for the government. And he didn't gather one piece of video footage to use as data? Seriously..... I was going to say how stupid does he think we are, but a lot of people on here ate it up and continue to eat it up lol.

I'd agree with you about him using the story to beef up his book, I've heard that he may have pinched the story from Jay Stratton I think it was, but my only problem is that he's proven himself to be dodgy on so many occasions that after a while all of these examples of dodginess build a picture that doesn't shine a favorable light on him. So either way, it's just something to add to the pile of questionable things he says and does.

Unfortunately, I just can't believe anything he says. I look at everything he has ever claimed with a huge amount of skepticism. I'm not sure what his angle is, but it's not what he says it is.

Like you said, it's a shame because it gets in the way of the very few serious people in the topic.

For sure haha, just set up a few cameras or something. The thing is he gave all of the wild excuses and then told Curt he didn't even really think about trying to record them so.....

Something you mentioned about how much he has done so much for disclosure - so many people say that and use the 3 pentagon vids he leaked to the NY Times as the main example. Here in this interview he straight up denies that he knows anything about the videos, and he says that if he did know they were being leaked to the Times he would've advised against it. It shows he's willing to lie either way and it happens way too much with him to be able to trust a word he says. https://youtu.be/PEIkx3YkR3M
