Yesterday I uploaded a documentary, in which I exposed Blake and Brent Cousins’ (Thirdphaseofmoon) long history of fabricating fake UFO stories and videos. They took down my video with a copyright strike in an attempt to stop me, but I won’t give up until people know the truth about them.

Uncovering the Truth: A Critical Examination of Thirdphaseofmoon and the Fabrication of UFO Stories

In recent times, the UFO community has been both captivated and misled by various sensational claims, often propagated by influential channels. One such channel, Thirdphaseofmoon, operated by brothers Blake and Brent Cousins, has long been under scrutiny for alleged manipulation of evidence and dissemination of fabricated UFO content. This article delves into a series of investigations exposing these claims and discusses the importance of integrity within the ufology community.

The Genesis of the Investigation

The journey began in March 2022, with a Reddit user sharing a purportedly “leaked” footage depicting a fleet of Tic-Tac-shaped objects over the Pacific Ocean in 2012. Initial excitement was tempered by subsequent analysis, which revealed that this footage originated from the Thirdphaseofmoon channel — recorded near the Cousins’ residence in Honokaa, Hawaii. This revelation prompted further scrutiny and sparked a series of investigations aimed at uncovering the authenticity of the claims made by the channel.

The Long Chain of Deception

Despite initial skepticism, some followers remained convinced of the channel’s authenticity. In response, the investigator undertook a comprehensive review of Thirdphaseofmoon’s content, uncovering a disturbing pattern: the channel had promoted at least 30 different hoaxes, deliberately misleading viewers and undermining credible scientific research related to extraterrestrial phenomena.

In a bid to share these findings with a broader audience, a documentary entitled “The Hoax Files Episode 1: Thirdphaseofmoon Exposed” was produced and uploaded to YouTube. The documentary meticulously details the numerous fabrications associated with Blake and Brent Cousins, illustrating how their sensational claims are often staged or manipulated to produce viral content.
