“... rumors that some of the crystal clear, sharp image, close range videos from the archives are going to be published—officially—within the next 30-60 days.”
Unfortunately, that rumor has been around for forty years.
What kind an idiot needs the government to tell them what is real?
Somewhat true. However, NOW a list of very high ranking folks who have worked in the black ops field dealing with the craft and critters for decades--THOSE FOLKS are insisting, somewhat publicly, that the sharp pics and videos will be out very soon--surprisingly soon--specifically--within 30 days.

Sadly, a LOT of Freepers have fit that category over the decades. Some were banned for their interest in the topic.
But to answer that question--probably folks with a serious degree of RAD (Reactive Attachment Disorder) and the resulting desperate needs to CONTROL or at least be seen as in CONTROL; be perfect; pretend they know it all; deny intolerably uncomfortable realities; bluster etc. etc. and otherwise buck-up their deep inner insecurities.
