Uploaded with permission from Mr. Santilli and at his request. -Theresa The following is Ray Santilli's full response to the article published in the London Sunday Times on 30 July 1995. Posted with his permission and at his request. (Reformatting of paragraphs was required when converting from fax to text, however the contents remains the same.) - Theresa -------- 1. The Sunday Times claim that Channel 4 have called in experts who have declared the film bogus. They have apparently also had special effect guys look at the film and declare it a fake John Purdie of Union Pictures who is in charge of the production of the Channel 4 programme has confirmed to me that the investigation is still continuing and no conclusion has been reached. 2. The Sunday Times claim that the security coding on one film disappeared when its accuracy was challenged. Ray Santilli's response is: The sequence of film referred to by The Sunday Times as containing a security code is not part of the autopsy footage and the code they refer to is irrelevant as it was applied in the same manner as one would a time code or copyright notice, it was reference information The Times even made reference to this in their article. 3. The Sunday Times claim that a letter of authentication from Kodak was signed by a salesman. Ray Santilli's response is: Upon contacting Kodak's head office in Hollywood we asked for the film verification department. They took our representatives to the relevant place, end the person working within that departments Laurence Cate, conducted the verification examination. This was part of his function at Kodak. If he is also a salesman, then this is purely Kodak's affair. 4. The Sunday Times claim that President Truman supposedly visible on film was not in New Mexico at the time. Ray Santilli's response is: The fact that the President Truman Library does not confirm that Truman was in New Mexico has no bearing as there would not be an official record of the trip due to the subject matter. 5. The Sunday Times claim that symbols seen on particles of wreckage are totally different to those remembered by an eyewitness. Ray Santilli's response is: No-one has ever claimed that the debris filmed by the cameraman is the same debris as seen by the eyewitness. It should be noted that the supposed eyewitness has not seen any debris for nearly 50 years. 6. The Sunday Times claim that doctors performing a supposedly Lmique autopsy on an an alien removed black lenses from his eyes in a matter of seconds as if they knew what to expect. Ray Santilli's response is: The reporters from the Sunday Times were told quite clearly that Ray had autopsy footage of another alien identical in appearance so they knew that the autopsy they saw was not unique as their article suggests. Had the doctors already performed other autopsies, then they would have known what to expect. 7. The Sunday Times claim that experts have told Channel 4 that the film is a good fake produced after the 1960's, sometime in the past few years. Once again, John Purdie at Union Pictures has confirmed that no conclusion has been reached and that the investigation continues. 8. The Sunday Times claim that Ray Santilli has refused to identify the cameraman or the place where the 16mm film was transferred onto video. Ray Santilli's response is: Due to the nature of this footage, this information was and will remain confidential as explained to the Sunday Times reporters. 9. The Sunday Times claim that suspicions were aroused because injuries visible on the bodies of the E.T look-a-likes shown undergoing dissection were not consistent with an air crash. Ray Santilli's response is: Firstly, the alleged alien featured in the footage looks nothing like E.T from the movie. Secondly, I'm not aware of anyone no matter what their credentials who has the experience to know how an alien body would react in a crash. Of course, if the person who made the comments has seen other aliens who have been involved in a similar incident and can therefore make the necessary comparisons, I will be happy to reconsider this. 10. The Sunday Times claim that Mr Cate of Kodak said that although the film could be old, it doesn't mean it is what the aliens were filmed on. Ray Santilli's response is: By the same token it is just as reasonable to assume that it is the film that the alien was shot on. 11. The Sunday Times claim that Ray Santilli is already selling stills from the footage on the Internet. Ray Santilli's response is: This is completely untrue. 12. The Sunday Times claina that Ray Santilli is now under attack from scientists and also the UFO community. Ray Santilli's response is: Eventhough this is a controversial subjects I am not now, nor have I ever been "under attack" from scientists. There have been those however from the UFO community who have always supposed the theory that the footage is not genuine. Interestingly enough nearly all of those people have yet to actually see it. 13. The Sunday Times claim that Paul O'Higgins, a medical anatornist at the University College London states among other things that the alien shown was basically humanoid, he goes on to say that "...the chances of life evolving to be that similar, even on two identical planets is the same as the odds of buying a lottery ticket every week for a year and winning the jackpot every Saturday night. . . " Ray Santilli's response is: At best, this is an opinion and not fact. Again I'm fairly confident the Mr O'Higgins does not know the secrets of the universe and what is out there anymore than anyone else. 14. The Sunday Times claim that a nurse who supposedly saw the alien crash victims in 1947 said they had only four digits on each hands as opposed to six as featured in the footage. Ray Santilli's response is: Even the Sunday Times themselves state that she only supposedly saw the crash. What does make her account anymore or less credible than any other account? 15. The Sunday Times have pointed out that Mr Santilli has pictures of Sergeant Bilko and the Starship Enterprise on his office walls. Ray Santilli's response is: So what! ___________
