    • Trivia
      Throughout the autopsy, you can see the hands of the clock in the background constantly changing, revealing it was a hoax.
    • Goofs
      The wall phone in the "autopsy" room is very similar to a Model 554, introduced in 1949. The narration claims it dates from 1937, but that's the date of the first Model 302, which is quite different.
    • Alternate versions
      Each time the Fox network reran this "one-hour special," they promoted it as containing previously unaired footage, which meant something else had been edited out to make room for the new material. It is unclear which of the broadcast versions was used for the video release, where, in any event, the program is followed by (apparently all of) the raw footage.

    Clearly fake
    This is supposedly a videotape that was made in the 1940s to document an alien autopsy. If so, then we have serious problems. The doctors behave more like barely-decent actors than medical professionals. They make many errors that show that they know little about autopsies. Another problem is that the the quality of the footage is very poor for something purporting to show an the dissection actual extraterrestrial being. I would have expected it to be in color (still a novelty in the 1940s).

    One important question is: if this an extraterrestrial that evolved independently light-years away, why does it bear such a striking resemblance to a deformed human child? While humanoid aliens may be common in science fiction, the chances of encountering one in real life would be infinitesimal.
