Storyline
| Plot Summary |
Widely considered to be one of the most controversial TV documentary specials ever aired in Prime Time, this famous FOX Network program stirred the "liveliest debate of any home movie since the Zapruder Film," according to Time Magazine. The "home movie" was actually purported to be the actual dissection of an alien being, supposedly recovered and analyzed by the U.S. military near Roswell, New Mexico in 1947. Written by Anonymous |

Did You Know?
| Trivia | Ray Santilli revealed that he only became convinced the producers behind the documentary genuinely believed in the tape's authenticity after hearing Jonathan Frakes' dramatic closing remarks. The decision to end the show with such an extravagant statement made him realize that the producers must have truly believed the tape was real. This realization was depicted in the film Alien Autopsy (2006). See more » |
| 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. See more » |

| Quotes |
Self - Host:
What if? What if? What if the alien is real? Let's consider. He was an explorer, perhaps a scientist, crashed and died on a distant blue planet light years from his home. A frightened race of beings found his lifeless body, performed experiments and hid the results. Why did he come to our planet? What went wrong? Obviously his own mission failed. But in his death, he may have delivered the most important message mankind has ever received. We are not alone. I'm Jonathan Frakes, goodnight. See more » |
