The Alien Autopsy Scandal review

TL;DR

  • The 1995 alien autopsy footage, widely believed to be real, was a hoax staged in a London living room.
  • The "alien" was a dummy stuffed with butcher's off-cuts, including lamb's brains and pig eyes.
  • The creators, Ray Santilli and Gary Shoefield, claimed to have acquired original footage but later confessed to creating their own version.
  • The documentary explores the deception, the media frenzy, and the elusive "cameraman" figure.
  • Despite the hoax, some former military personnel claim classified footage of actual aliens at Roswell exists.
