ALIEN AUTOPSY - GAME OVERThe devil is in the detail - The Spyros Melaris storyby Philip Mantle
Posted: 13:15 March 2, 2008
It was 1993 when I was first contacted by London businessman Ray Santilli. It was l995 when Santilli's controversial 'Alien Autopsy Film' was released around the world. I have covered events surrounding this film in many publications around the world and in my book 'ALIEN AUTOPSY INQUEST' so forgive me if I don't cover old ground here.
On June 22nd 2007 I travelled by train to London to meet up with Ray Santilli and his business partner Gary Shoefield. We had a pleasant lunch together and Ray Santilli showed me some frames of film encased in a type of perspex material. Santilli claimed these were original vintage 1947 frames of film from the alien autopsy. As they came with no official seal of approval or had been authenticated by anyone they were useless.

The Alien Autopsy Film Exposed |
Within a couple of days of this meeting my friend and colleague Russel Callaghan, editor of UFO DATA magazine, had a phone call from a man by the name of Spyros Melaris. This man claimed he had lead the team that faked the whole alien autopsy film. He was a magician and filmmaker and he was now ready to spill the beans. He gave Russel a run down of the who, what, why and where of the whole affair. Because of my involvement in this affair Russel was soon on the phone to me with the details. It wasn't long before I spoke to Spyros Melaris myself and he was telling me things in great detail. During the next few weeks I had several telephone conversations with Spyros Melaris and also put him in contact with US TV producer Robert (Bob) Kiviat at his request. Spyros was considering the best way to go public with his story, he had a book planned and thought that a TV documentary might also be a good idea.
