Section 51 Goes Section 8
Most UFO hoax operations, when faced with indisputable evidence of their fraud, usually respond in one of two ways: ignore it (Third Phase of Moon), or respond as if it didn't exist (Mister Enigma, WTF Flow, Secureteam 10, Fausto UFO). When debunker Scott Brando, aka ufoofinterest.org revealed professional CGI artist Jean "J. H." Wzgarda of France as the person behind hoax channel Section 51 2.0, Wzgarda took a different approach; he pretended he had nothing to do with it. Wzgarda has enjoyed widespread support for his antics, most recently for his "UFO Over Large Hadron Collider" hoax, from British tabloid news sites. I suppose he was a bit shocked to be exposed after freely, profitably and anonymously faking it for so long. This conversation ensued over Facebook chat:
Hi, I see that you and Ufo of interest published my name on your page. Who are you ? Why ? What did I do to receive your hate ? Do you know what is harassing on internet ? That's what you're doing with me and I want to know why you're doing this ? Why you're attacking me ?...
You may think it's ok to create fake UFO shots and claim they're real, but people involved in real research, trying to find real answers find it offensive. You should stop immediately.
Who are you to claim that it's me ? Are you crazy ? It's not me. I agree with your point of view but this is not me. Must be a kid or idiot hacker using my name as CGI artist to create his website anonymously. Stop publishing my name and my works on your page, they have nothing to do with section 51. This is harassment and defamation. I'm going to report your publications to Facebook for harassment. Do you think I have time to lose with that ?Don't play that game with me. I took screen capture of your facebook page. You published pictures of me and my work without my authorization with the aim to discredit me and my name. I saw Ufo of Interest too and all sites which seem to be in your network. All that for why ? Because you think that you have found some guy you can hate without limits, because of your frustrations about ufos and section 514. You've got the wrong guy. It's not me and stop publishing false informations about me. It's YOU the faker !
Sorry, that's not me. What does proof me that you didn't trick the data on this site ? My company is known on internet, anybody could have taken our informations to create an account knowing that we do production and visual effects. I will investigate too. And that doesn't change the fact that you or anybody else hasn't the right to make freely harassment against a person on internet or facebook or twitter. Even to publish images and names without authorization. What is your name ? Who are you ? That's not fair, you pretend you know me and I know nothing about you. That's completely silly !
I'm not interested in playing games with you, Jean. Obviously you don't intend to stop creating hoax videos, so you're just going to have to become accustomed to people knowing who you are and what you're doing. If that bothers you, then find another hobby that doesn't involve being a liar and a fraud.
You must be joking. Are you serious ?!! Who are you ? Are you scared to give me your name ? What does allow you to attack me personnally like that ? That's sure that it's easier to put the name of somebody in the dirt when you stay in the shadow.
If you believe this may possibly be a case of mistaken identity, conisder that Mr. Wzgarda maintains his personal web site on the same server as section51-ufo.com. He is a CGI artist with a fetish for American military imagery, significant because the first incarnation of his web channel, Section 51, was focused on military footage as background for his UFO hoaxes. He got a lot of play with his "UFO Attacks Taliban Base" hoax among others. That channel was removed from YouTube because (best guess) Google decided that exploiting combat footage of real soldiers really risking their real lives wasn't so cool. And there's this, from his web site:
