In 1995, a low-quality black and white video purporting to depict an alien autopsy was broadcast to over a billion viewers in 32 countries. The footage, supposedly from an extraterrestrial found near Roswell, New Mexico, where a UFO allegedly crashed in 1947, was later revealed to be a sophisticated hoax. The video was created in a flat in Camden, North London, by a professional magician, Ray Santilli, who sold it to major networks like Fox TV. Santilli claimed he recreated deteriorated real footage he had previously seen. Now, a new Sky documentary titled “The Alien Autopsy Scandal” is revisiting this infamous incident.
Renowned Mirror photographer Mike Maloney, known for his extensive career in Fleet Street, has made startling revelations that could reshape the UFO debate. Maloney recalls being shown an actual alien autopsy film in 1978 while in Los Angeles to photograph Daryl Hannah. During a lunch meeting with Walt Disney animators, including a UFO enthusiast, Maloney was invited to view the mysterious footage.
The experience left a profound impact on Maloney as he vividly remembers being taken to a house in the hills above Anaheim to watch the film. The footage depicted a seemingly conscious alien being with suggestive movements. However, when Santilli’s 1995 Alien Autopsy video emerged, Maloney immediately recognized it as fake, lacking the authenticity he had witnessed previously.
Maloney’s belief in the genuineness of the original footage was reinforced by a conversation with acclaimed director Stanley Kubrick, who affirmed the authenticity of what Maloney had seen. Furthermore, Maloney was informed by his acquaintance Ward about owning a physical piece of the Roswell spacecraft, adding another layer of mystery to the narrative.
As the debate surrounding the alien autopsy resurfaces with the new Sky documentary, Maloney anticipates a potential authentication of the original footage. With the US government poised to release classified UFO documents, he remains optimistic that the truth behind the footage he witnessed may eventually be revealed. Maloney’s transformation from skeptic to believer is marked by encounters with influential figures like Kubrick and Moore, underscoring the ongoing fascination with extraterrestrial phenomena.
The Sky documentary, “The Alien Autopsy Scandal,” promises to reignite interest in the topic and is available for viewing on Sky and streaming services.
