First off how do any of you know the government doesn't have people on here or any other websites for that matter trying to provide misinformation and bs to us in order to prevent people from taking real action against them to find out if they really know something about mermaids they're not telling us?

The cast information on imdb only covers the three actors in the dramatizations and the narrator. Not the anonymous ex government agent and the other "actors" "portraying" the other scientists that showed their faces.

Let's say the other "actors" are actually real actors from other documentaries or what have you.If you had insider information about an intelligent species the government was playing games with and you felt it was your moral duty to get the word out, why not do it through an actor with a b.s. name on a part fictional/part factual animal planet documentary during monster week? It would be a nice way of protecting yourself. Especially if you know the government will destroy your life for talking. In addition, most of the people watching the documentary won't get the underlying message that this species exists anyways....which you would obviously expect. Which is why at the end of the day at least you were able to let the world know this crazy information and you probably reason that there will always be a few people who are smart enough to make their own conclusions and do something about it.

pencil pushing scientists aren't as spineless as the government thought they'd be lol.
