Montgomery County Educator Builds Major Following Exploring Ufo Phenomenon
A Montgomery County educator with roots in Montgomery Village and Damascus built a major following around UFOs and unidentified aerial phenomena through Mysterious Planet. The project began in September 2023 on Instagram and Facebook, sparked by renewed public attention after congressional hearings. Early posts featured clips from interviews, documentaries, and news coverage with an educational focus. The audience grew quickly to more than 44,000 followers on Instagram and over 73,000 on Facebook, with Instagram serving as the main content hub. The effort expanded into video and long-form conversations via a YouTube podcast, The UAP Sessions, with upcoming guests including whistleblowers, researchers, experiencers, and authors. A pivotal moment came when the creator attended his first congressional hearing in person, after which he shifted toward original reporting and on-camera interviews with members of Congress and other prominent voices. This transition moved Mysterious Planet from largely curated clips to substantive reporting, while still sharing selected clips. Credibility remains a central challenge in a field crowded with believers, skeptics, and disinformation, compounded by AI-generated fakes. The creator emphasizes sourcing, credentials, and skepticism, insisting curiosity not replace critical thinking. Private messages from followers—often thanking him or expressing trust—are meaningful, though he stresses that no one has all the answers. He also launched UAP Tracker, a site that maps submitted UFO videos that pass basic forensics checks, filtering out obvious AI-made content and mundane explanations to organize and evaluate credible material. Together, these efforts connect Montgomery County to a global conversation anchored in careful sourcing and open discussion rather than sensationalism.
