In 1995, a low-quality black and white video purportedly displaying the autopsy of an extraterrestrial being was broadcast to over a billion viewers in 32 countries. Allegedly discovered near Roswell, New Mexico, where a UFO supposedly crashed in 1947, the footage was later revealed to be a sophisticated hoax filmed in a North London flat by a professional magician. Ray Santilli, a 67-year-old entrepreneur from London who sold the video to global networks including Fox TV, maintained that he recreated deteriorated real footage he had previously viewed. A new documentary by Sky, titled The Alien Autopsy Scandal, is now revisiting this infamous incident.
Renowned Mirror photographer Mike Maloney, well-known in Fleet Street, has disclosed startling information that challenges the UFO debate. Maloney claimed that he was shown a genuine alien autopsy film in 1978 during a visit to Los Angeles for a photography assignment with Daryl Hannah.
During a lunch meeting with studio executives, Maloney befriended Walt Disney’s original animators, including the UFO enthusiast Ward Kimball. Subsequently, Kimball showed Maloney a film of an alien autopsy during their interactions.
Maloney, initially a skeptic, was intrigued by the footage and its implications, especially after witnessing a living alien in the film. His encounter with the 1995 Alien Autopsy video, supplied by Santilli, further confirmed his suspicions of its inauthenticity.
Moreover, Maloney’s belief in the authenticity of the original footage was bolstered by a conversation with acclaimed director Stanley Kubrick, who validated the realism of the alien autopsy. Kubrick dismissed the possibility of faking such footage in 1947 due to technological limitations.
Additionally, Maloney shared details of Kimball claiming possession of a physical fragment from the Roswell spacecraft, describing it as a unique cylindrical object that exhibited unusual properties.
Despite the unraveling of the hoax over the years, Maloney anticipates that the new Sky documentary may reignite interest in the alien autopsy footage and potentially lead to its authentication.
With the US government set to release classified UFO-related documents and the ongoing debate in the field, Maloney remains optimistic that the truth behind the footage he witnessed may eventually be confirmed, echoing sentiments from notable figures like astronomer Patrick Moore.
