Yes, but kids don't always know when they are saying something they shouldn't. They aren't masterminding the hoax and may not understand why they should or shouldn't say something. Plus my guess is that their verbal cue and body language might give something away. That's why it's much harder to get them to collaborate on a hoax. Ya, you can coach them to respond a certain way but that might not stop them from saying "mommy said that's an orb outside my window!" or "daddy showed me that light!" or other more obvious comments that would hint at something behind the scenes going on or something initiated by their parents.

Evidence is crucial but I think a well-rounded approach is important considering how strange and sometimes elusive this stuff can be.
