The story
What it's about
In 1995, 18 minutes of grainy film shocked the world and sparked one of the most compelling mysteries of our time. The so-called 'Alien Autopsy' footage appeared to show three government officials in hazmat suits dissecting the corpse of an alien recovered from a crash-site near Roswell, New Mexico in 1947.
