>>> Continued from previous message 1995, Dear told Dallas TV station KDFW, "I've always had an open mind, but much more so now that maybe something does exist out there."Dear told us that he is sure the film depicts a real autopsy. He said he had shown it to two highly respected medical examiners who agreed that it appears real although though not necessarily alien. Cyril Wecht, a past president of the American Academy of Forensic Science and current chairman of the Department of Pathology at Saint Francis Central Hospital, during the Fox presentation, stated, "I cannot say that it is a member of the human race, as you and I know the human race... I have great difficulty correlating this with any human body that I have seen." Mr. Wecht has performed 13,000 autopsies himself and has witnessed or signed off on approximately 30,000 others. Recognized as the grand-daddy of all special effects wizards, Stan Winston, along with his crew, have been involved in some of the most outstanding and widely acclaimed movie projects ever, including "Jurassic Park" and "Alien." Winston seemed intrigued by the film when interviewed on the Fox program, commenting, "This really felt like a real body that was being cut open. If we had done this, I would be pretty proud... My hat's off to the people that created it, or that poor dead alien that's dead on the table." We have attempted to contact Mr. Winston to get fur- ther comments, especially since there have been several other individuals in the special effects industry that have stated that they could repro- duce the autopsy segment. So far, Mr. Winston's publicist and offices have rebuffed our attempts to talk with him. We have to also note that Kent Jeffrey, Roswell researcher and coordina- or of the International Roswell Initiative (IRI), after viewing the film in England on May 5, 1995, has been one of the foremost detractors of the film. We quote Jeffrey, in a statement from the IRI Bulletin #2, May 26, 1995: "Before going into specific details of the viewing, I would like to state up front and unequivocally that there is no--zero--doubt in my mind that this film is a fraud. I might add, however, that if, against all odds, what I consider the impossible did occur, and this film act- ually turned out to be genuine, I would be one of the first to celebrate, as researchers would finally have in their possession the Holy Grail of evidence necessary to break the Roswell case wide open." Popcorn, Peanuts, Crackerjacks Remember that we said the barkers were taking advance orders for videos of the autopsy footage. This was originally promoted to include all the material available. To date, we are aware of very few who have in fact received the promised videos. To Santilli's credit, we are also unaware of anyone who has been charged for the video that hasn't received it. Interestingly enough, though, the video is beginning to surface through other channels. Fox, in association with Vidmark, has released a video for sale that contains their footage. By press time, many of our readers will have already seen this through distribution by Blockbuster and other video outlets in the United States. And what of the "other footage" being circulated in Europe? Why hasn't it been provided to all parties paying for it? Once again, the question surfaces of who the true Ringmaster is. If not Santilli, then who? The Roller Coaster Ride We can assure readers that during our investigations of this bizarre case, each of us has been on a long, intense and emotional roller coaster trip. Almost daily, and sometimes even hourly, new and conflicting information has come to our attention.It has been a chore to wade through the sea of egos, pointless drivel, innuendo, double-talk, and sometimes even outright disinformation that we have encountered. Though our initial excitement has endured somewhat, in the hopes that what we were doing would eventually lead to the truth -- whatever that might be -- the frustration has worn us down from time to time. There have been many occasions when one or another of us has thrown up our hands in disgust, almost buckling under the sheer weight of the mystery. A concerted group effort has been the only thing keeping us on track. Others who have been following this case will understand the turmoil very well. Vast amounts of time and energy have been expended on this chase of the elusive truth. Our families and friends have often wondered why we have become glazen-eyed at times, locked into our notes and research for hours upon hours. If phones could speak, they would be screaming in agony at their overwork. And when the mail carriers deliver the bills from our respective long distance companies, we have to steel ourselves before opening them. So it goes. The Grand Finale So what conclusions have we reached from our look into this potentially most important ufological event of the millennium? Have we been the vic- tims of one of the most sinister disinformation ploys of all time? And if so, who masterminded it and how was it carried out? We've come to feel that the only thing that seems to be exactly what it looks like is the footage itself, though of course,the possibility exists that even the footage is a ruse,a fake constructed by persons unknown for reasons also unknown. Has it been created to undermine the existing evi- dence of the real Roswell event? We have to remember that the footage we have seen to date bears little similarity to what we know about the "classic" Roswell case. But if the film is real, is it the autopsy of an alien or that of an un- fortunate member of our own human race who suffered from multiple genetic disorders? We may be drifting into the proverbial looking-glass with this case, where things are not as they appear. Someone, somewhere, knows the truth about this profoundly disturbing footage. Does the mysterious cameraman really exist?If so, he is the one and only key that will unlock the doorway to the secrets and subterfuge. At this point in our research, we have been left with more questions than answers. Pieces of the puzzle are still missing -- key pieces-- and the information jugglers are doing their job well, keeping the audience cap- tivated and riveted to the show. And the circus just keeps going and going...
