A photo is worth a thousand words, but is a frame of 16mm film worth $1 million? This was the opening price for a 1947 black-and-white film film negative, which allegedly featured an alien corpse lying on the coroner's desk.
"Alien Anatomy" film film film film auctioned in 1947
The image comes from an infamous and very unbelievable "alien anatomy", supposedly taken in 1947, in Roswell, New Mexico, where a UFO crashed. Rumors about the crash say that the creature in the movie was on a UFO at the time and died in the crash. According to a statement about the auction, the U.S. government then secretly studied and analyzed it.
Now, an autopsy film film will be auctioned as an irreplaceable token (NFT), meaning the highest bidder will be given a string of unique codes that verify the authenticity of the movie frame. The auction list shows that the winner will also receive the framework of a realistic anatomy film.
In autopsy footage, an inanimate humanoid corpse lies on a table, and an open wound can be seen on its right leg. It has a rounded torso and abdomen, bulbous black eyes, and a hairless head that is much larger than the average human skull. Figures in white protective suits from head to toe circle around the "corpse" and perform methodical dissection.

In 1947, a U.S. Army public information officer issued a press release saying Roswell had a crashed "flying saucer" that now belongs to the military. Since then, rumors about UFOs in Roswell have begun to circulate. Life Science magazine reported that in 1995, Fox television broadcast a documentary called "Alien Autopsies: Fact or Fiction" to introduce television viewers to the autopsies of the so-called UFO "alien" occupants.
British record and film producer Ray Santilli owns the clip. The auction statement mentions that Santilli himself said that in 1992, while searching for archival film for a documentary about Elvis Presley, he bought the film from a retired American military photographer.
While Santilli believes the film is real, skeptics disagree. According to Living Science: Their suspicions appeared to be confirmed in 2006, when a sculptor and special effects designer named John Humphreys claimed that he not only made aliens in dissection footage, he also appeared as a pathologist in the film.
In 2017, another person who claimed to have been involved in the scam came forward. According to news Corp Australia Network, filmmaker Spyros Melaris said he shot the video with a model filled with animal organs in his London apartment.

In 2019, the National Institute of Discovery Science (NIDS) "leaked" a 2001 memo. NiDS, a private organization for the study of paranormal phenomena and UFOs, no longer exists. According to a 2019 report by The Sun (the Sun is a British tabloid known for its sensational stories), the memo was allegedly written by Eric Davis, a physicist at the National Institute of Immune System, that former CIA scientist Kit Green assessed the evidence in the "Roswell Alien Autopsy Incident" and said the video was true.
According to The Sun, the memo said Green was certain that "the Alien Anatomy movie/video is real and the alien corpse is real." ”
With such a complicated history, it is perhaps not surprising that the auction of this film has also undergone unexpected turns. On May 27 of this year, on Rarible (RARI, an online marketplace specializing in NFT-based digital collections and trading platforms), bidding for NFTs that dissected film frameworks was underway, but the auction was interrupted by distributed denial-of-service (DDoS) attacks, flooding a website with massive amounts of internet traffic.
An auction representative told fun science sites in an email that the list collapsed minutes before the booking ended. The representative said: "The new listing plan is in place and the bidding will continue until May 30. ”
