Inside the grainy Roswell alien autopsy footage that shocked the world

"The shocking film, showing three people in hazmat suits dissecting what appeared to be an alien body from the 1947 Roswell crash in New Mexico, was originally released in 1995. The grainy black-and-white footage was televised worldwide, revealing a humanoid figure with a large head and dark eyes being cut open, further fueling the growing speculation of a government cover-up."

"Millions of viewers were fascinated because the film seemed to prove that aliens existed, especially as shows like The X-Files were becoming a cultural phenomenon. Years later, however, the film's producers admitted it was all a sophisticated hoax filmed in a London apartment using animal parts and plastic casts. Despite their confession, questions remained, as one of the filmmakers behind the fake alien autopsy claimed the video was based on a real recording of scientists examining the remains of a dead extraterrestrial."

"The film has now surged back into the public conversation about alien life, thanks to a new docuseries that is set to explore this mystery, diving into the video's creation 30 years ago and its lasting impact on UFO culture. Meanwhile, there has been even more demand for answers over the last year, with elected officials even joining the call to declassify everything the government knows about UFO incidents like the Roswell crash."

An 18-minute black-and-white video depicting an alleged alien autopsy from the 1947 Roswell crash resurfaced amid renewed UFO investigations. The footage shows three people in hazmat suits dissecting a humanoid with a large head and dark eyes; millions reacted in 1995 when it aired worldwide. Producers later admitted the film was a sophisticated hoax filmed in a London apartment using animal parts and plastic casts, although one filmmaker later claimed it was based on a real recording of scientists examining an extraterrestrial. A new docuseries revisits the video's creation and cultural impact while calls grow to declassify government UFO records.
