Fact 1: There were many witnesses watching on the beach but no single UFO report?
Fact 2: It received worldwide media attention but no single UFO report?
Fact 3: He's the only one who brought up the UFO footage in his book later in a video but refuse to cooperate to provide researches the link to the original source.
Fact 4: His Youtube channel contains more already debunked UFO material

What do you mean "just saying that there is no evidence". That's evidence.

I have interviewed him yesterday and I come to the conclusion he's baloney. He openly tells people the video is removed but tells me he don't have the link. Than he was hacked, he continued with another story he reupload this 2014 video. He did his best to dodge the bullet.

I have reached out to the news network in question to confirm my suggestion he's a hoaxer.
