In this video a (presumed) dying man claims to have been involved in UFO investigations, cover-ups, and Eisenhower’s plan to “invade” Area 51, and throws some Men In Black in there for good measure.
As we are given no evidence of this man’s credentials or condition to back up that this is an actual death bed confession, what is essentially being offered here is an attempt to validate anecdotal evidence by playing on cultural and social naivete. And the thing about establishing the truth of a story is you have to verify everything, not just trust that because a man is dying, if he in fact is.
Sometimes deathbed confessions are given extra weight as testimony for the sake of our desire to believe that someone who “has nothing to lose” has no reason to lie, and because of the pervasiveness of the belief in some sort of judgement after death, but really if you have nothing to lose and do not believe in that judgment, then you really have no reason not to lie either. No consequences fall on you for doing so. However you look at this video, it all comes down to choosing to believe, or not.
And that is where we came in on the whole UFO thing.
