I’m super into UFOs and research them and make videos on them, and I found out that Tom DeLonge is actually one of the most knowledgeable people about them, and made a video telling the whole story. I wanted to post here to discuss this with non-ufo people about is this interesting, did you already know about this, etc :)

I notice that every time there’s a drop, there’s hardly any discussion about them in these subreddits. People bash them for not having good pictures and videos…..but it seems obvious that people aren’t reading the documents??

The documents have confirmed multiple things such as hotspots across the country, military investigations going back almost a century (and occurring in basically every decade), flying saucers being made by Germany in 1945, and so much more.

It feels like the releases are actually dropping a LOT of useful info. But people are upset that there isn’t a 4k photo of an alien body, or a flying saucer. Why were people expecting that in the first place? It’s a slow drip for disclosure. This is a significant step forward to make more people accept the idea. It would be dumb to think they’d release the craziest stuff in the beginning.

I watched a lot of area 52 and Jesse Michels, but not Gerb. What are some videos to start with?

Also, I saw some posts about being surprised at how connected he is with the government. So also curious on people’s thoughts about his credibility as it seems like he’s almost like a govt insider. And I heard he was preparing to take a govt role

Asking because I’ve always understood it’s a long game with YouTube. I make long form ufo content and have gotten around 30 videos now with almost 500 subs. One video popped off around 72k views which is awesome, but the rest of my videos seem to not get enough impressions to do well, and don’t typically get much past 100 views despite having good numbers from what I understand (70% retention at 30s, >6% CTR, ~50% overall retention).

So, what made your channel start to gain traction? One video that led to the traffic expand to others? A slow climb of impressions? Just time? (hopefully not time, because my videos get killed after 2-3 weeks and never ever get any more views)

This was an interesting one on crop circles, it touched on both the hoaxers and the evidence/proof for crop circles

I’ve been teaching myself how to edit, so of course over time the content improves and makes the previous content look pretty bad. I’ve been considering delisting some of the worst content, because I’m concerned that youtube shows it to people, and it prevents them from getting a better video shown to them, or from subscribing because they’re unaware recently videos are 100x better in terms of quality. And that since it’s lower quality, people watch less of the video, telling YouTube to not push my other content. What would you do?

You don’t have to check it out, but just in case people ask, this is my channel link. Any recent videos are 100x better than some of my first 10 videos. But for whatever reasons, one of them, such as my Vargihna incident video, keeps racking up views (2.4k, a lot for me). While that’s awesome, it doesn’t convert many people to subscribers, and as of right now I have the watch hour requirement completed but not the subscriber one for monetization.

Since we’re still waiting on the third batch of UFO files, I’ve been watching videos and found this channel that broke down the first and second UFO file releases.

Curious if any of y’all have seen this channel before or if there were other things in the files that he missed?

I hadn’t seen in any other videos of the NASA transcripts or the 209 green fireballs in places like Roswell and Los Alamos, so that was interesting.
