Who is Ray Santilli, you ask? Why, he is the man who "found" the alien autopsy footage that you see
so often on the FOX Network (Jonathan Frakes deserves better work). Is the footage real? Well, upon interviewing
Industrial Light and Magic for the FOX's Autopsy Special, they admitted that if it is fake, the effects are pretty darn good,
and perhaps better than they could do. Still, one must question the horrible camera work -- The camera man manages to capture an excellent
view of a doctor's back during a critical, not to mention technically difficult, procedure in the autopsy. Obviously the easiest way to
fudge a special effect is to not show it at all. And we must keep in mind what Ray Santilli has to gain (MONEY!) from this "historical" footage.
Here is Ray Santilli's personal account of how he came to obtain the controversial recording of the alien autopsy.
"My story was a result of research into film material for a music documentary. I was in
Cleveland Ohio USA in the summer of 1993. Whilst there I had identified some old film
material taken by Universal News in the summer of 1955. As Universal News no longer
existed and I needed the film to investigate the source of the film and was able to determine
that the film was shot by then a local freelance cameraman. He had been employed by
Universal News because of a Film union strike in the summer of 1955.
"The cameraman was located, following which a very straight forward negotiation took place for his
small piece of film i.e.: cash for three minutes of film. Upon completion of this the cameraman asked if
I would be interested in purchasing outright very valuable footage taken during his time in the forces.
He explained that the footage in question came from the Roswell crash that it included debris and
recovery footage and of most importance autopsy footage.
"At this time I had no knowledge whatsoever of the Roswell event, but when someone tells you they
have real footage of an Alien autopsy, of course its of interest.
