Is this video conclusive proof that there were aliens at Area 51? Probably not (Picture YouTube)

New footage which an Australian magazine claims to have examined frame by frame seems to show the body of an alien being handed by American soldiers in the 1940s.

Conspiracy sites have seized on the footage (shot, as is obligatory, with cameras that never seem to focus properly) as evidence that alien bodies WERE retried from the Roswell crash in 1947.

The Australian magazine UNCENSORED claims the footage is ‘authentic’.

Sadly, it seems to be rather similar to footage from the (awful) Hollywood film Ant and Dec’s Alien Autopsy – and most UFO experts have turned their noses up at it.




Philip Mantle, the UFO expert who dealt with the first Roswell film, describes it as ‘utter bollocks’.

UFO website Panormics says ‘Apparently the magazine’s technical people did a frame by frame analysis prior going to press with it and determined that it was legitimate in every respect.

‘This not only shows the dead alien (maybe from the Roswell crash) itself, but also the hanger and the alien body being carried into the hanger from the military ambulance that delivered it. It has enough clues to accurately date the footage from the late 1940s.’

Other UFO experts are more sceptical.

Nigel Watson, author of the UFO Investigations Manual, says, ‘There are several problems when dealing with new footage of such an important event in the annals of ufology that would have a shattering impact on our concept of our place in the universe.

‘The first is where did this come from and who filmed it? The Uncensored magazine says they rediscovered it but don’t go into details. We should also note that the infamous Roswell Alien Autopsy films released in the 1980s proved to be fakes or reenactments of footage that was lost.’ ‘I’m told this was shot and used for the Alien Autopsy film starring Ant and Dec – and has previously been uploaded as if true in 2007 – though that could be disinformation!’ ‘Due to public pressure, internal investigations were launched by the US General Accounting Office to disclose the truth of the matter. Their first report, in 1995, confirmed that the wreckage was of a Project Mogul balloon. In 1997, their second report looked at the rumours and stories about recovered alien bodies. ‘This concluded that they were a combination of rumours, and half-forgotten memories of missions involving the recovery of injured pilots or anthropomorphic dummies used in experimental projects unconnected with UFOs.’ MORE: Is this asteroid being orbited by an alien spacecraft?

Handgun spotted on Mars by Curiosity ‘In 2011, Roswell hit the headlines again when a book by journalist Annie Jacobsen – Area 51: An Uncensored History of America’s Top Secret Military Base – claimed that the aliens recovered from Roswell were actually genetically mutated 12-year-old children. They were sent by the Soviet Union to the USA in a remotely piloted aircraft to promote hysteria in the American population.’ ‘Several years earlier, a similar theory was put forward by Nick Redfern, who claimed that the Roswell crash was caused by a balloon based on Japanese technology. The balloon was used to launch a glider that had a pilot and crew consisting of handicapped people. The object of this and other missions was to study the effects of radiation and high altitude on the human body.’ ‘This new film adds yet another level of intrigue and mystery to the subject! Conspiracy theorists will no doublt claim this is part of the project to make us slowly become aware of, and accept, the aliens who have been visiting us since that crash in 1947.’
