For months, rumors circulated in the UFO community that film had been uncovered showing the autopsy of two alien beings. The bodies were allegedly recovered from a UFO that crashed near Roswell in New Mexico. In 1995 the film was made public.
It was in July 1947 that a rancher named Mac Brazel reported debris scattered over his land after aerial explosions the night before. Men from Roswell Air Force Base came and collected the strange debris.
Hours after the base issued a press release that they had found a flying saucer the same release was withdrawn, and instead General Roger Ramay claimed it was nothing more than a downed weather balloon.
In recent years, many military and civilian witnesses have demonstrated that this was a lie. However, the rumor that alien bodies were also recovered was harder to verify.
Film-maker Ray Santilli claimed that he had purchased footage from a man who had filmed the autopsy of two aliens from the Roswell UFO crash. When footage of one autopsy was eventually screened, it drew a wave of criticism from most ufologists.
The alien looked more human than extraterrestrial. Was it the body of a victim of germ warfare? Why was only one cameraman used? Special effects men said it was a good fake - the film could have been manufactured in 1947, but exposed at a later date.
Many ufologists are wondering if this film is disinformation to discredit the Roswell case, which has recently been under investigation by the General Accounting Office. Time will tell.
