Subject: 'Tent Footage' and 'First Autopsy' Stills

With the kind assistance of a friend in Italy, I have been able to acquire
a copy of the recently released video "Autopsie Di Alieni?" (Volume Duo).

This features the "tent footage" which Ray Santilli and Co. have never
previously released. I'm not sure if this release has been sanctioned by
them and it's of no relevance.

Part of the footage had also previously been "pirated" on a video called
"penetrating the web 2", released in the UK.


The footage on "penetrating the web 2" is brief, lasting for 1 minute and
37 seconds.

The new release runs for 5 minutes and 35 seconds.

And from what I can make out, they're different, both being part of a
sequence which runs for 7 minutes and 12 seconds.

The videos originally given by Ray Santilli to Colin Andrews and Philip
Mantle were apparently some 7 minutes in length. Both these videos
conceivably contain all of that same footage.

Why the pirated extract is missing from the new release, and vice-versa, I
don't know.


The new footage has slightly better contrast, but is still murky. The
entire film seems to consist of material being cut from what purports to be
a body, lying underneath a white sheet on a table. It's filmed in a dark
environment, with a lamp suspended over the table.

The two people performing the procedures are at the far side of the table.
They are wearing white coats and although not disguised, are not
identifiable in these copies.

The person furthest from the camera is cutting the material and hands it to
the other person standing next to them. This second person, who seems to be
female, examines the material, sometimes holding it up to the lamp, and
then turns around to place it in an unseen location at around ground level.
As she turns around and bends down, we can see that the white coat is full
length.

And that's really all there is to it.

I'll have a more detailed look at it tomorrow.

There are no obvious breaks in filming and the camera is steady, presumably
tripod mounted.


I say "what purports to be a body", because we can only see two feet
sticking out of the sheet, at the end nearest the camera, the right hand,
and the head at the top end of the table. No facial details can be seen.


I've also now seen the "first autopsy" stills released in Italy and these
indicate that the body in the other, unreleased, "autopsy" film, has the
same bulbous thighs and stomach. There's no full-body image, or a picture
of the head and shoulders, so it's difficult to make any further
comparisons. It does however appear that the actors/attendants are
disguised/protected with the same type of suits.

One further point, the "body" in the tent footage doesn't appear to have
the bulbous thighs and stomach. The sheet which covers the body shows no
evidence of this. It's questionable if there is in fact a body under the
sheet.

Still no reason why the "tent footage" wasn't the inspiration for the
"first autopsy", which was a dress rehearsal for the final release.



James.
