I think there is a bit of confusion due to HOW you asked your question.
You are asking a question that involves 2 seperate topics.
1. DEBUNKERS:
Many reasons for debunkers...
a. NON believers. There HAS to be a logical explanation, so they give their interpritation.
b. Paid Debunkers, to cover up Black ops, Top Secret Military aircraft, ect.
c. most genuine UFO sightings are debunked by people who refuse to study the facts about UFOs.
d. They think that General Population can not handle the truth, there would be mass hysteria or they might "loose control" over Society.
Heres a good read:

2. HOAXERS
a. To see if they can pull it off and "fool" the mass's
b. Just because they can.....
c. To show how EASY it is to miss ID an object.

Morristown UFO? Hoaxers Tell Their Story
The article provides links to videos of how they created the hoax, and provides all the extensive media reaction. Most of the media includes quotes
from "experts" including a pilot who saw UFO lights. But the two "hoaxers" call into question the validity of so-called UFO investigators and
shows like the History Channel's UFO Hunters, as well as eye-witness accounts even from so-called experts

Hope this helps somewhat.......
