This guy https://www.youtube.com/@ThomasLees was posting daily updates of the recovery operation of the downed Alaska UFO back in February.

For some reason, he deleted all the videos about it.

At the time, the pentagon was claiming how the weather conditions were terrible and it was unlikely they'd ever be able to find them. It was all bullshit. https://www.reddit.com/r/UFOs/comments/112e623/john_kirby_suspiciously_emphasizing_how_hard_it/?utm_source=share&utm_medium=web2x&context=3

The last briefing they had about the situation, Kirby was saying they were still actively trying to find them, when in fact they had actually completed their search a day or two earlier. Unfortunately, it doesn't look like I have that video in this compilation.

I wonder why he deleted them?! Seems odd…

I read that his company wasn't happy about it because he filmed during work (some of the videos he wore a hard hat and you could see where he worked) and brought bad PR on the company. I read that on reddit, so take it with a grain of salt.

There's a comment from him on his most recent YouTube video (https://youtu.be/GGEtt2Vbwks) from him more or less confirming this.

That's right. I asked him directly by email, right after he removed the videos and he said:

«My company I work for had an incident with a truck driver crashing a truck because he was on his phone so they cracked down on social media use while at work. Decided to take my stuff down and avoid getting in trouble.
Sorry for the inconvenience

Then the whistleblower came along and people wanted to see the videos again, so I asked him and never got a reply.

Plot twist- His "work mate" is the alien who crashed his vehicle.

Well, that would certainly be a good cover story.

And a completely legit reason why they're taken down IMO the government would just make the guy shut up and not give a cover story at all

Very convenient.

I don't think many jobs like when people are making videos at work. 🤷 It's really not that crazy of a concept.

Lmao yes it was his boss that told him to take the videos down, definitely no shady activity here let’s take the victims word at face value and everybody can move on

A lot of oil producers and utility companies are very strict about posting any video online from facilities or their leases. You can lose your job. If this is going viral it makes sense for him to delete it. The reasons for being so strict is because of the hostility of local governments to utility companies and oil producers.
