Deathbed Confession: Boyd Bushman on Aliens

Everything true is on the internet. but not everything on the internet is true.

This little charade seems like an odd way to spend one's last days. I am not sure whether this video makes me sad or not.

Good luck in reverse engineering a technology a thousands years or so ahead of ours !!!!!!!!

Hand a cheap netbook to the best scientists and engineers of the 1920s or the 1930s and see what the hell they could reverse engineer and that is only ninety years or less in our past.

Does anyone know the story behind why the video was pulled down?

Copyright infringement was what I read.

The fact I show interest in the topic does not mean I am a believer. I post lots of threads just to guage reader reaction, which often has little to do with my own true opinion.

I have not done enough research to make many conclusions. The man seemed perfectly sincere. Rather than perpetrator, He might have been victim.

Boyd Bushman is the name attributed to a man who has periodically claimed to be a retired senior research engineer with Lockheed Martin Skunk Works, Texas Instruments and Hughes Aircraft.[1] In an October 2014 YouTube video posted from a newly created account on the video sharing site, the man claims he had a variety of personal experiences with UFOs, aliens and ghosts. In the video, the man claiming to be "Boyd Bushman" showed photographs he said were of aliens. The claims were widely circulated by UFO enthusiast blogs and Oliver Darcy of the Blaze, which stated they were made on the man's "deathbed." Ultimately, however, the claims were essentially identical to similar assertions made by the man during an earlier appearance he made in the 1999 Discovery Channel program "Billion Dollar Secret," which purported to chronicle a government UFO coverup.[2][3]
A subsequent inquiry by Quebec news website TVQC demonstrated the photos shown by "Boyd Bushman" were those of a plastic collectible figure produced by toy company HalloweenFX, something later confirmed by the San Antonio Express News.[4] [5] Another source observed there were no obituaries for anyone named "Boyd Bushman" since the August date of his supposed death, and a person of that name was also not listed in the Social Security Death Index. A search for Boyd Bushman's obituary done on November 4 2014 shows a web page from findagrave.com that appears to be the Boyd Bushman that the previous citation claims does not exist, verifying the essential details of his life that are consistent with his claims of education and employment.Urban legend index Snopes has rated the claim "Former Lockheed Martin engineer Boyd Bushman provided evidence of human contact with alien life before his death in August 2014" as "False." [6] German newspaper Bild observed that "whether Bushman had actually worked at Lockheed Martin could not be confirmed. And the aliens he is shown with are, in all probability, fake. That raises questions about his other statements, as well."[7]

Snopes on the topic

Without more to go on, I think the guy believed what he said and that an ongoing hoax suckered him all the way. I was interested in the man, more so than aliens, based on his apparent sincerity. I realize one can be nuts and yet be sincere.
