A world famous UFO hunter who goes under the name SecureTeam10 has furiously denied claims he fakes the videos posted on his YouTube channel.
Yesterday, a rival alien spotter from a production company called Lion’s Ground told The Sun Online that SecureTeam10 earns a healthy living of up to $630 (£600) a day by posting videos which are not concrete proof of alien life.
But in an astonishing twist to the story, it has emerged that “Heathcliff,” the owner of Lion’s Ground, made some of his accusations in a bizarre rap video in which he wears a pink wig, swigs from a bottle and suggestively puffs on a rolled up cigarette.
His arch-rival, SecureTeam10, has now issued a statement about the claims.
Tyler, the man who runs SecureTeam10, wrote: “Of course I don’t post fake videos. Anyone who subscribes to me and watches my channel on a regular basis (and I have nearly 800,000 of them) know that I’m very passionate about this research, and have grown in popularity precisely because of this.
“But as with any successful entity, especially on YouTube, you will almost always have a small marginal group of haters.”
He added: “Speaking to his professionalism: in some of his videos he can be seen wearing a pink wig, singing along to rap music while slandering my channel.
“It’s honestly pretty disturbing and speaks to his true nature of being a troll.
“Everyone I know sees him as nothing more than a jealous hater.”
Lion’s Ground has 40,176 followers on YouTube compared to SecureTeam10’s 785,726.
“I learned of him after he came out of the woodwork a few weeks back and started attacking not only me, but some other very reputable and popular UFO researchers,” SecureTeam10 added in a statement.
“Up until then, no one knew or had even heard of him.”
“As for his claims of being a ‘UFO researcher’, I can only say that no one I know has ever heard of this guy – and I know a lot of people.
“He is not a figure in the UFO and alien research community, nor does anyone take him seriously.
“The guy posts hate videos against other popular channels. Nothing more. He debunks nothing, but instead goes off on these long hateful rants and then pretends it’s ‘fact’.”
