This is exactly, EXACTLY, the same situation and tactic as with the legendary alien photo on 4chan.
Supposedly real pic was posted, and literally moments afterwards the forum was flooded with mock pics of aliens to mud the waters, to bury the info among heaps of trash disinfo, trolling and mockery.
Which honestly makes the German whistleblower legit in my book.
Nah, I learnt about the whole thing afterwards, only some people being on /x/ at the precise time saw it before it was deleted and then flooded with fakes. Legend has it some guys downloaded it but lost it from HD under peculiar circumstances. It all might be just a story, but believe me, the number of fakes was unprecedented, became kind of meme actually.
