Brian Dunning, who was convicted of wire fraud in 2013 and hosts the Skeptoid podcast, accused documentary filmmaker James Fox in an X post of exploiting 1994 Ariel School UFO incident witness Emily Trim, who recently passed away from cancer, by having her appear in his 2019 film, “The Phenomenon.” Dunning intimated that, because Trim suffered with mental illness in the years before her death, Fox knowingly exploited her by having her comment in his film. Dunning’s accusation is false, however, because Trim wasn’t the only elementary school child who witnessed a landed flying saucer and alien creatures during the 1994 incident, which occurred in Ruwa, Zimbabwe. There were more than 60 children that witnessed the event. Trim and several of the other witnesses appeared in Fox’s film, as well as the 2022 documentary, “Ariel Phenomenon,” which was produced and directed by Randall Nickerson.

Brian Dunning on X: "I wouldn't mind @jamescfox being an honest filmmaker and making $$ off BS storytelling films that he *knows* are BS, if he was honest about what he does, like most. But when he legit exploits people for his own gain, some with mental illness, that's over the line. Zero respect" / X
