The argument that claims of sightings or of massive suppressed evidence is made about almost if not every extraordinary claim, from Noah's Flood to alien pyramid builders to sunken civilizations to ghosts to visits of saints to alien abductions to Sasquatch to -- well, you get the idea. Indeed, on every one of these topics and others there are books and more books written.
Most of it is I think to get money from the gullible; maybe some of it is genuinely believed (this possibility led me in my youth to read a lot of them). It's all bunkum and not really all that hard to recognize as such, so that I tend to dismiss people who get excited about such things and try to persuade others as having something wrong -- some tick or another -- in their heads.
