A frame from the 1995 black-and-white film ‘Alien Autopsy’ purportedly showing the corpse of an alien on an operating table, продадут on the online auction site Rarible.

The 17-minute film is dedicated to the Розуэлльскому инциденту – the alleged crash of a UFO near the American town of Roswell in New Mexico in July 1947. Conspiracy theorists say that the U.S. government captured the alien aboard the craft.
The film’s author, London entrepreneur Ray Santilli, said that the footage included real alien-autopsy footage allegedly provided to him by a retired military operator on the condition of anonymity.
But by 2006 Santilli admitted that the film is more of a reconstruction of footage that he says he viewed in 1992.

Hamfris himself appears as one of the pathologists.
