Synopsis
Ray Santilli, a British entrepreneur, released grainy black and white footage in 1995, claiming it depicted an alien autopsy conducted by the U.S. military after the Roswell incident in 1947. The program, titled Alien Autopsy: Fact or Fiction, aired on Fox television, hosted by Jonathan Frakes. It sparked widespread debate and was later debunked, revealing that the footage was filmed in a London flat using hollow plaster casts and animal remains. Santilli admitted in 2006 that the film was a hoax, despite claiming it was inspired by real events.
