Uncovering the Truth: Exposing Fabrication and Deception in UFO Media
In recent years, the UFO community has experienced a surge of sensational claims, videos, and stories. However, not all content is created equal. Recently, a dedicated researcher took a stand against misinformation by exposing a pattern of fabricated UFO stories propagated by the popular YouTube channel Thirdphaseofmoon, operated by brothers Blake and Brent Cousins.
The investigation began in March 2022 when a Reddit user shared what was claimed to be leaked footage of a fleet of Tic-Tac-shaped UFOs over the Pacific Ocean in 2012. Upon closer examination, it was discovered that the footage originated from the Thirdphaseofmoon channel and was recorded near Honokaa, Hawaii—the hometown of the Cousins brothers. This revelation prompted a deeper dive into their production history and the legitimacy of their content.
For those interested in the initial findings, two detailed Reddit investigations are available:
– Debunking the Leaked Footage
– Additional Evidence and Analysis
Despite some community members refusing to accept the debunk, this motivated a comprehensive investigation into the brothers’ history of producing and promoting hoaxes. Over time, it became evident that Thirdphaseofmoon specializes in creating sensational content that often stretches or outright fabricates the truth. To illustrate these practices, a documentary titled The Hoax Files Episode 1 – Thirdphaseofmoon Exposed was produced, revealing 30 instances of deception and manipulation linked to their channel.
The documentary was initially uploaded to YouTube to inform the public about these issues. Unfortunately, within hours, the video was removed following a copyright complaint from Thirdphaseofmoon, despite clear adherence to fair use provisions outlined in Section 107 of the Copyright Act of 1976. This act of censorship underscores the ongoing battle between genuine inquiry and efforts to suppress the truth.

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.”
