Regarding the anatomy, it remains a mystery. Back in 1995, after working on the video for the Italian RAI TV, Prof. Pierluigi Baima Bollone, of University of Turin, has stated the creature was a biological nonsense. So human, yet so far away from us. Others have stated the corpse was made up with different parts, sceptics were convinced it was a dummy. Carlo Rambaldi, creator of E.T., ridiculed himself by declaring since the eyes are so big they must cross each other...
The Autopsy
The autoptical procedure is something that has been criticized too. There are four people working on the alien body (one is a woman, Truman is not seen). They wear a kind of protective coveralls, plausible with the situation. The cameraman named two: Bronk and Williams. Dr. Detlev Bronk (1897-1975), biophysicist, and Dr. Robert Parvin Williams (1891-1967), Special Assistant to the Surgeon General of the Army at Fort Monroe, Virginia, did exist. Baima Bollone has declared very clearly that the the technique, the times and the tools, as seen in the Alien Autopsy, are not correct. No samples are being taken and the correct instruments are missing from the room: it's safe to conclude there are no pathologists performing the autopsy. This is quite a negative side of the Alien Autopsycase.
The Cameraman & the Film
Regarding the mysterious cameraman, his real identity is unknown. Jack Barnett was a nickname (he was 86 in 1995), yet it seems he knew what he was talking about. Santilli has stated:
"The cameraman was in his eighties and seemed a genuine enough person, he explained that from 1942 to 1952 he worked as a cameraman for the Army Air force and special forces, that during his time with the services he filmed many events including the tests that were part of the Manhattan Project (Atomic bomb testing White Sands).
He explained that on June 2nd 1947 he received an order directly from General McMullan stating there had been a crash. He was to go immediately to White Sands and film everything. The cameraman had authority over and above the on-site commander and reported back only to McMullan."

The one issue is the quality of the video. It is poor, has plenty of cuts, the image shakes and goes out of focus every time there is anything interesting to see! The cameraman, further investigations revealed, suffered from a poliomyelite that struck his legs. Additionally, he used a fixed lens camera (the film type was a Super XX-Panchromatic Safety Film). All this may explain the poor filming. The question is, if in 1947 such was common practice or not. Rick Garbutt, of the Society of Camera Operators, has stated it was not. On the contrary, with a unique occasion like an alien autopsy, the military would have requested the best film quality on the market...in colour! One more negative point.
The reason of such poor quality may also lay behind the fact that the cameraman was commissioned filming the autopsy. What Santilli had purchased could be the remaining parts Barnett discarded. Yet, it's not very credible the American government allowed footage of an alien autopsy to spread. He could've made a secret copy, but not kept some reels. Lastly, it's not true the film has been certified by Kodak to be from 1947: two frames not belonging to any autopsy have been certified. Judging by the code printed the film, the dates can be: 1927, 1947 or 1967. So: not just 1947.
