Yea, I'm sure they would let someone with a video camera record everything that was going on during something like that...

I was wondering if anyone ever noticed the error in the original airing of the footage. I do remember watching the premier of the vid on Fox and happen to notice something amazing.
During the film they show the leg damage on the alien. Everyone knows about it and you can see it again in ZoooMer's pic right above this post. Well, during a viewpoint change in the film I was amazed to see that the damage to the right leg had suddenly switched to the left. I was thinking, there's no way they will get away with this! The right leg was suddenly fine and the left leg had a big hole in it. This was only for a few seconds and then when the scene changed again the damage was back on the right leg.
Did anyone else happen to notice this?
Don't mean to jump off topic but it is related.
Yeah it does seem that way but I think for the right leg it is just the alleged damage of the film that is making the leg itself look damaged. This again is another difficult piece of evidence to judge with confidence.
More evidence is needed to prove its authenticy but like with most pieces of footage, That could be hard to come by. I would say that it could possibly be real but it is still quite likely that it is a hoax, Especially after being released after the autopsy (I think?) which most believe is a hoax.

Oh, that footage made me dizzy.
Can't the cameraman stand still for 3 whole seconds? I guess not. But it was smart of him to line things up on the left section of the film just in case the right section was accidentally exposed or ruined during processing.
I'm just glad we have a clear, definitive video from a known source to prove the reality of this thing once and for all.
And isn't that Gen. Douglas MacArthur there looking at it?
P.S. -- After looking at it again, now I know what bugs me about it. You see the way the damage changes on the right? Anybody who remembers the old 8mm movie cameras knows about those little 3-1/2 minute rolls of film that went in the cameras. When those got damaged, poorly processed, etc., you'd get white areas or whatever that repeated every second or so indicating where the light or chemical hit the little roll. But on this footage, the damage doesn't regularly repeat. See, this is what happens when people who never worked with real film try to emulate something like that in video. They miss obvious details.

Old video tape does deteriate no matter were its kept

Even in 1947, video was a lot better than that. The camera technique, or lack thereof, is the best evidence that the video is fake.

I'm not talking about the condition of the video tape, in fact, there would have been no video tape used by military photographers in 1947. They would have used film.

I watched the footage on the guys link above, I didnt see any damaged leg switch, but i did see something i think, when there taking the black film off the eyes just after the left eye it blinks now i dont know if its something to do with the recording or not, but i do know the if u slauter a cow and you pull the right tendons and nerves in its neck you can make them blink and move their tongue. Someone tell me what they see plz. Also who said it was a fake in the first place, i'm not saying i beleive its definatly real, but to mock up an alien dummy with blood that comes out its neck when its cut and internal organs and skin, it must of cost a million dollars or something why go to the trouble. maybe it could be real but our governments have put people out there to convince us its fake to prevent mass hysteria. Also if u look closly u can see it is female i think why give it a gender at all.

Some good points there.
If it was made recently some serious consideration went into production to emulate the effects of an old 8 mm or whatever camera that is.

this is from what i know, its a fake, you can tell, first off, the aliens said to have crashed at roswell were small greys. second, old videos dont look like that, there has been some obvious editing, and third, thats a humans body, but as someone earlier said, it is overexposed. and im sure the "MILITARY" had better, i mean amazing cameras back then, and they wouldnt record it. i just think that roswell is what people say and it was one of those things during world war two where they look out for japanese planes, sorta look like weather balloons.we will never know until NWO is announced and the government reveals everything.

I think its real, you can tell by the amount of people involved.
Who would spend all that money to make a 20 second, bad quality film. Its got some credibility, just a shame we cant find more of this footage.
