Fake Roswell Alien Head

RecordOBS-0144
CategoryExtraterrestrial/UFOs
StatusDEBUNKED
SummaryA prop alien head was anonymously sent to Fortean Times magazine in 1996, claiming to prove that the alien autopsy film was a fake. However, analysis showed the head did not match the one in the film, making it a fake prop used to discredit another fake.
OriginThe head was delivered to Fortean Times in early 1996, during the controversy over the alien autopsy film.
Claimed
  • The head was the actual prop used in the alien autopsy film.
  • The head proved the alien autopsy film was a hoax.
Evidence / consensusInvestigations by the Charles Fort Institute and Fortean Times found that the head's measurements did not match the film's alien, so it could not have been used in the film. It was a professionally made model but not the one from the footage.
> OBSERVER NOTE:
A fake prop claiming to expose a fake film-an ironic artifact that only adds another layer to the Roswell mythology. The head's origin remains unknown.
