    When someone posted this cylinder video I simply pointed out that why on earth would "they" allow some random dude to hold onto those objects for over 2 months but delete the one video he supposedly had of it falling from the sky?

    Got down voted and accused of "spreading disinformation"

    I just wanna talk about space and aliens. Not everything is a conspiracy or AI interstellar plot to "hide the truth". Sometimes idiots like attention and thats all it is.

    Sounds like he immediately regretted saying “I gotta give this back, guys…” as if it didn’t fit the narrative/story, like that episode isn’t supposed to drop yet, and he dug himself deeper trying to cover it up with “this isn’t my phone”. There’s even a disappointed “tshh” right after him saying “I’m gonna throw this… phone away,” as he realizes he potentially just muffed the whole project on a rushed livestream.
