Storyline
Did you know
- TriviaThroughout the autopsy, you can see the hands of the clock in the background constantly changing, revealing it was a hoax.
- GoofsThe 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 versionsEach 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.

Featured review
Why would the government have such horrible video equipment?
Anyone who holds on to even a SHRED of hope that the Alien Autopsy is real just ask yourself what I asked in my summary. Even by 1940's standards, the video tape was laughably horrible. The a government agency was trying to document an event of this importance, they would have used the best video equipment available at the time. They also would have had someone with some intelligence in handling the camera. Therefore the footage would not be blurred virtually EVERY time something important happens, and would not keep going out of frame. This was just another sad attempt by Fox to give credibility to the ridiculous. I don't remember the name, but another show completely shot down all the 'experts' contentions that it was real. Most notably these Hollywood special effects 'experts' (why not get Tom Savini if you want the best?) who claim the alien body would be virtually impossible to fake. That movie actually recreated the autopsy very easily with things available to the original filmmakers.
And of course there is no question of 'If the aliens made it here in the 40s, why did they suddenly STOP coming?' Or if you want to believe that they didn't, then how come there hasn't been a single true sighting since? distant lights in the sky don't count. Apparently they came all the way to earth at Roswell. With EVERYONE having a camcorder these days, we would see actual footage of ships, not just random lights in the sky.
Bottom line: If you want a good laugh, and you have nothing better to do, check this out. If you start believing it for a second, seek professional help.
