What, the alien autopsy video from the 1990s was fake?! But they even had Jonathan Frakes in the documentary promoting it.

Magician fails to stop Louis Theroux using ‘alien autopsy’ film

A magician who filmed famous footage of a purported examination of an extraterrestrial has said it is entirely a hoax produced as a psychological experiment.

Spyros Melaris, 66, told the High Court on Thursday that he had evidence he filmed the entire footage in April 1995 at a flat in Camden, north London.

The black-and-white silent film was purported to be a recording of an autopsy on extraterrestrial beings recovered from a UFO crash near Roswell, New Mexico, in 1947. Since being made public in 1995 it has been widely cited as evidence of a conspiracy by the United States government to cover up proof of alien life.

Louis Theroux’s production company, Mindhouse, was due to broadcast a documentary on the origins of the “alien autopsy” on Sky this year.

Melaris sought an injunction to prevent Mindhouse breaching his alleged copyright by using footage of the “autopsy”. However, Judge Richard Hacon gave summary judgment against Melaris, saying he had no reasonable prospect at trial that he had a copyright claim and dismissed his injunction application. He ordered him to pay Mindhouse £17,000 of legal costs.

Sam Carter, representing Mindhouse, told the court that the autopsy footage was “an immediate global sensation” and was estimated to have been seen by 1.2 billion people worldwide. He said Ray Santilli, 70, a former musician turned film producer, claimed to own the rights to the footage.

“[Santilli] purchased some genuine 1947 footage of the ‘Roswell Incident’ from a US ex-serviceman in about 1992 [but] it had deteriorated to the point of being largely unusable by the time he got it back to the UK,” Carter told the court. “[Santilli] contends that he therefore put together a team of people to recreate the 1947 footage.”

Santilli said the film was made by a team including Melaris, who was the cameraman, Melaris’s girlfriend at the time, Georgina Damak, whose flat was used for the filming, and John Humphreys, who designed and made the alien body and other props, the court heard.

Santilli, from London, claimed that some frames from the 1947 footage he obtained were inserted into the 1995 autopsy “to give it greater authenticity”.

Santilli first “came clean” about the making of the 1995 footage shortly before the release in 2006 of a comedy called Alien Autopsy, with Ant & Dec.

Carter said that Santilli “then maintained, as he does now, that the 1947 footage did exist, and that frames from it had been spliced into the [1995 film], purportedly justifying his description of the [film] as a ‘restoration’ of that 1947 footage”.

Kind of sad that alleged footage (with no provenance) was allegedly inserted into the completely hoaxed footage of an autopsy made it all the way to a court of law.

Jim Carrey clone conspiracy

Jim Carrey stepped onto the stage at the 51st César Awards in Paris on February 26, to accept an Honorary César for his lifetime contribution to cinema, and the moment quickly turned into something far bigger than the award itself.

Fans immediately fixated on how different he looked. Shoulder-length jet-black hair (a sharp shift from his usual shorter, lighter style), a calmer demeanor, softer facial features, and a more subdued energy left people doing double-takes. Comments flooded X and Reddit: "Who the hell is that guy?" "Unrecognizable." "Something feels seriously off." Some joked it was a Truman Show sequel in real life, while others went full conspiracy mode, insisting the man accepting the award wasn't the real Jim Carrey at all.

Theories exploded from there. The most viral one claims he's been "cloned" or replaced with a body double years ago-possibly after personal tragedies like the 2015 suicide of his ex-girlfriend Cathriona White (which led to wrongful-death lawsuits and intense media scrutiny) or his gradual retreat from Hollywood starting around 2017.

Proponents point to changes in his eye color (from brown to appearing greener/blue in some clips), altered nose shape, jawline, teeth, and overall build as "proof." They tie it to broader celeb clone narratives (think Avril Lavigne or Paul McCartney swaps), suggesting the "real" Carrey died or vanished, and this version is a stand-in to keep the legacy alive.

A few even linked it to his outspoken views on vaccines, spirituality, and Hollywood "darkness" in past interviews, claiming he "knew too much" and got replaced.

Carrey has been low-key for years, living privately in Hawaii, painting, writing, and turning down roles.

^It may come as a shock to these nutters that people look somewhat different at 64 than they do at 30.

Billy Corgan Thinks Rock Music Was “Purposely Dialed Down” Beginning in Late ’90s

Billy Corgan has a theory as to why rock music hasn’t been as prevalent in mainstream culture in the 21st century as it was in the ’70s, ’80s, and early ’90s. The Smashing Pumpkins frontman believes that rock was “purposely dialed down” beginning in the late ’90s.

“I think, and I will say it overtly, I think that rock has been purposely dialed down in the culture,” began Corgan. “Again, this gets ‘wizard behind the curtain,’ right? Somebody’s gonna say, ‘Well, how do you know who was the wizard behind the curtain?’ All I know is I saw the gravity shift.”

He continued, “If you were at MTV or around MTV in 1997 or 1998, suddenly they decided rock was out when rock was still very, very high up in the thing. And it was replaced by rap… Their standards and practices immediately shifted, so now that things that weren’t allowed were suddenly allowed. People were waving guns. Some people assert that the CIA was involved in all that. Again, above my pay grade, but I saw it happen. I did witness it happen.”

A Never-Ending Conspiracy Theory in Remote Alaska

The guy pouring my beer in Anchorage told me that he knew there was no truth to decades-old rumors about a research facility 200 miles to the northeast. Nobody was up there talking to aliens or controlling people’s minds. “They just do the aurora,” he said, cheerfully, while tearing up pieces of mint.

The comment didn’t surprise me. Many people who don’t believe one conspiracy theory about that station—known as the High-frequency Active Auroral Research Program, or HAARP—believe another. A common misconception is that it can manufacture northern lights, a natural wonder typically most visible in or near the Arctic Circle. It cannot (and neither can any man-made instrument). Still, late last year, when a geomagnetic storm caused aurora sightings as far south as Texas, Facebook was studded with posts warning that these lights were not “natural” and that they were created by the scientists at HAARP for possibly sinister reasons.

The lab has also been erroneously credited with various supernatural occurrences (backward-walking caribou) and secret contact with extraterrestrials (covered up by “men in black”). Most commonly, it’s blamed for events caused by nature. The office phone rings after hurricanes, earthquakes, floods, wildfires, tornadoes, and typhoons, no matter where in the world they occur. A 2024 study found that HAARP was the subject of more than a million conspiracism-inflected posts on Twitter from January 2022 to March 2023, primarily about natural disasters. In early 2024, the far-right influencer Laura Loomer suggested that HAARP created a snowstorm to dampen turnout at the Iowa caucuses and thwart the Trump campaign. And when I visited HAARP this past November, calls were coming in about whether the facility had caused Hurricane Melissa, which had recently swept through Jamaica and Cuba, resulting in at least 88 fatalities and billions of dollars in damage.

All of this anxiety is focused on a unique research instrument housed at HAARP, which is owned by the University of Alaska at Fairbanks and was originally built by the military for the cost of $290 million. “The array,” as the instrument is called, is a grid of 180 transmitters that each sit atop a 72-foot-tall post, arranged in a clearing and surrounded by Alaskan wilderness. You could call it the world’s highest-powered radio transmitter, but it’s more precisely its most powerful ionospheric heater (which sounds scarier). HAARP transmissions reflect off of the ionosphere—part of the upper atmosphere that starts about 30 miles above the Earth’s surface—and temporarily “heat” or excite it.

The Navy hoped to use the facility to work out new forms of long-range communication, and the Air Force wanted to study “killer” electrons that sometimes damage satellites. But their interests in these pursuits ran out, and the military turned the facility over to the university in 2015, rather than bulldoze it. David Hysell, an engineering professor at Cornell who has conducted experiments there, told me that the most succinct way to summarize what HAARP now studies is “the effects that the ionosphere has on signals, on radio-wave propagation,” which is not very exciting. The equipment looks crazy, but it can’t affect the parts of the atmosphere where the Earth’s weather is created.

Still, the calls to the lab continue. The Facebook posts go viral. The university has held open houses, posted public information pages, and produced irreverent merch, but nothing seems to tamp down suspicion. Jessica Matthews, HAARP’s director, is an Air Force veteran, and her first instinct was to deal with conspiracy theories in the style of the military: “If left to myself, I wouldn’t say anything,” she told me. “But that’s not the right answer.”

Hundreds of New Mexico locals asked to turn over home security in search for missing retired Air Force general, UFO expert

Over 600 New Mexico residents have been alerted by authorities to hand over their home security footage as the bizarre disappearance of a retired Air Force general and UFO expert enters its 11th day.

Investigators contacted the Albuquerque homeowners to gather the home camera footage and information in an effort to track down William Neil McCasland, 68, who vanished without a trace from his home on Feb. 28, according to the Bernalillo County Sheriff’s Office.

Local authorities, working alongside the FBI, said they’ve received dozens of tips in the missing persons case — although none have yet to bear any fruit.

Authorities have issued a Silver Alert for the retired general, but an investigative journalist warned the case amounts to much more than a missing senior citizen — calling it a “grave national security crisis.”

“This is a man with some of the most sensitive secrets of the United States in his head,” journalist Ross Coulthart said in the latest edition of his “Reality Check” podcast, adding that McCasland possesses deep knowledge about what the US government might be hiding regarding extraterrestrials.

His disappearance came just days after President Trump announced in a Truth Social post that he was directing the Department of Defense to prepare the release of files related to UFOs and extraterrestrial life.

During his military career, McCasland headed up research at Wright Patterson Air Force Base — a role in which he oversaw classified space weapons programs, according to Coulthart.

The base, near Dayton, Ohio, is rumored to be in possession of extraterrestrial debris allegedly from UFO hotspot Roswell, New Mexico.

Anyone with information about McCasland is encouraged to text BCSO to 847411, call the sheriff’s Missing Persons Unit at 505-468-7070 or upload information through the Community Connect Link.
