Sorry guys - I'm 99.9% certain that this is the footage used at the end of the movie ALIEN AUTOPSY, the comedy starring Ant McPartlin and Declan Donnelly, released last year in the UK. It's loosely based on the case of Ray Santilli and the Roswell footage,. and the general theme of the movie is that the supposed roswell Alien Autopsy footage was faked - due to the real film with the real autopsy being exposed to harsh temperatures, erasing most of the image. At the end of the movie, the damaged negative is returned to Santilli and his friend, who watch the remaining footage (enabling us to see it too). I believe that this footage is the footage shown at this point in the movie. I don't have ALIEN AUTOPSY on DVD, so can't check it right now - can anyone check this and verify??
I'd love it to be true, but unfortunately I don't believe that this footage is.

I'm curious as to how the raw footage came about being put up on the net though.

I started a thread on this months ago and was immediately informed by the brits that it was part of a comedy presentation and completely fake.
So, don't feel bad OP, even the best of us get taken for a ride eventually.

I just watched the video again, and someone in the video looks sort of like Marcel.

interesting, because at the beginning of the Alien Autopsy (2006 movie) it clearly states: 'based on true story'...
Cheeky chaps Ant and Dec star in this British comedy based on a true story of an alien autopsy - one film remains of the extraordinary happenings and unlikely lads Ray and Gary hope to make a fortune with it. Unfortunately it doesn't quite go to plan and the duo have to recreate the autopsy with hilarious consequences. Alien Autopsy is out to rent and buy on DVD now.

I thought it looked pretty real, if you can explain why they would have someone document a very important event who had no idea what they were doing. It's as if they gave the camera to a kid or a drunk guy who was standing around.
Then I saw the close-up still images of some of the men. Particularly the bald man's side profile with his sideburns extending past his lower ear. No one had such long sideburns in 1947, especially no one in the military.
This may seem trivial or insignificant but it shows they were not perfect with their attention to detail. No man wore his sideburns like that in 1947! Men his age (middle age) only started wearing long sideburns in the 70's. Whereas teenagers young adult men did so in the 60's and 70's.
This is a good fake made sometime in the 60's or 70's. I would say the 70's.
Also, do you think the military would have these creatures being exposed to everyone, out in the open with bright lights, blood dripping, etc? Wouldn't they have been quickly put into some isolation or decontamination area, and wouldn't the people handling them be wearing special protective gear?
And look at the alien foot. That's a human foot. Anyone who knows anatomy could study that foot and tell you that that is human.

Isn't it amazing that the Military would pay to have pictures taken that badly.
The one thing that triggered something for me was a the 5 sec. mark where they are showing the feet. Look at the left foot.
I remember the experience when I was having the audio/visual implant put in through the right ear. Before anything started I was alone and there was this metal table next to the chair I was sitting in and on the bottom shelf of that metal table where feet, "lol" yup feet. I thought do they use rubber feet like men wear the rubber boots over there shoes when it rains. The feet were big I wonder if they came in different sizes

Here's a clue for you all. On July 3, you can buy this 'authentic footage' on DVD. And no, that's not Jesse Marcel. It's a British comedian.

Watch the trailer if you'd like to see more of this 'autopsy'.

the autopsy footage still remains questionable, I think that portion is in fact a fake.
But we are discussing the hanger portion here. Not the autopsy footage, the fact that the body looks somewhat similar in both could be intentional.
For the very same reason how a portion of real film made it out. Somewhere someone wanted it to be intentionally leaked. The goverment knowing this allowed someone else to make the autopsy film hoping it would discredit the real leaked footage.
Even though this hanger footage did not make it to the public until several years after the autopsy footage.
Thus further casting doubt and thereby concealing the real truth. As logic would say that the hanger footage was created after the autopsy footage thus it must be fake too.

The relevant footage (referred to by some researchers as "the end clip") was part of a movie. I've seen the movie and can confirm that the footage was in it.
I've cut and pasted below some relevant details from my database of infamous UFO videos.
I think the following details are fairly significant to assessing the credibility of the clip (particularly the first and final points...).
(1) The end clip appeared at the end of the movie "Alien Autopsy" (2006) starring the British comic duo "Ant and Dec". That movie was a comedy.
(2) The comedy was produced with the assistance of Ray Santilli (the chap behind the original "alien autopsy" footage), and he appeared in the movie itself. See the relevant entries in the IMDB movie database at the links below:
imdb.com...
imdb.com...
(3) Santilli has admitted that the movie tells the true story behind the infamous "alien autopsy" footage, and has appeared in a documentary with others involved in the hoax to reveal how it was done (although he insisted [with a big grin on his face] that the infamous "alien autopsy" footage was a "reconstruction", not a "hoax").
(4) British researcher Philip Mantle contacted an executive of the company that made the movie (QWERTY Films) and that executive confirmed that the end clip was made for the movie. See:
www.virtuallystrange.net...
It is interesting to see various webpages claim that the source of the end clip is unknown.
As I've mentioned in a previous thread, one of those webpages also includes a well known hoaxed photograph with a caption claiming that the source of the photograph is unknown...
CONCLUSION: Calling this footage a "hoax" would be like calling the movie "Star Wars" a hoax. They were both intended simply as entertainment. Enjoy them - but don't take either one as being videos of actual events...
Kind Regards,
