Roswell Autopsy: The Max Headroom Connection

Tuesday, April 18, 2006

Some ten years ago word began leaking out about a spectacular piece of film reportedly showing the autopsy of an alien life-form. The alien's body had supposedly been recovered from a UFO that crashed at Roswell. The film became known as the Santilli footage after the distributor Ray Santilli who claimed he had obtained it from a retired US military cameraman.

Despite the hype the film was, unfortunately, a fake. Now the Sunday Times reports that the man who made the dummy alien corpses has owned up.

The model maker was sculptor John Humphreys. Humphreys' main claim to fame is as the creator of "Max Headroom", the artificial and intensely irritating DJ who introduced the 1980s music show of the same name.

The "Roswell" footage was apparently shot in a Camden flat. Humphreys says that he made the aliens and also appeared in the film as the chief surgeon.

Humphreys has previously worked on Doctor Who and more recently on the "Ant 'n' Dec" movie "Alien Autopsy" that is based on the Rowsell hoax.
