The purported subject of this procedure was an alien corpse recovered from an unidentified flying object that had crashed in the desert near Roswell, New Mexico in July 1947. The autopsy was allegedly performed by pathologists affiliated with the United States military. It would presumably have taken place at the Roswell Army Airfield, where the body and the debris from the crashed saucer were taken by a U.S. military retrieval team.
another 10 or 20 magicians across the country have the same suit. it s not a real bigfoot. but it comes too late for many of the film s believers. people are so taken by the things they fall for. they re hugely invested in it. now they re fools if they were wrong. and as soon as you come in and rain on their parade, you find utter hostility. the first reaction was no, you re lying. that is a real bigfoot. i said how is it possible that this thing could fool people. the suit was all right. it wasn t the best gorilla suit ever made. but it was okay. but in broad daylight did not look like a real animal. i talked with phil morris about this in retrospect seeing how entrenched this film has become, and he feels he probably should have come forward. we set out to verify morris
that clay into the shape and form you want. in this case an alien. it s painted then with special silicone paint. you can then set about doing the effects. i just got some bits and bobs from the butchers. and interpreted what i could see from the pathology going on on the alien in the film as best i could. john even appears in the film. here he is holding the scalpel. i had to take the role of the american scientist pathologist from the original film. i just had to don a radiation outfit. and cover myself. that s why you don t see my face in it. but that s me doing the pathology. it was a work of pure genius. i m very proud of it, but it is a restoration. the deception goes all the way to oh, okay. it was a hoax but now we ll make money telling you how the hoax was done. despite questions about the film s validity, the fascination is real. when we went public with the alien autopsy footage, we were
director, and whatever else of this film. just as patterson stood by his story, so, too, does morris. rick baker who is academy award winner eight times said to me one time, he said, phil, that was the worst gorilla suit i ve ever seen in my life. and i said yes, it s true. but think about this. that there were over 10, 20, 30 million people who saw that film of bigfoot walking through the forest and they thought it was a real suit. that s absolutely amazing. at the end of the day when you ve watched this figure stride and you looked at it, i m inclined to agree with the late john napear from the smithsonian who remarked famously i can t see the zipper. and i think that s the most concise way to view what happened. everything can change in an instant.
material that s going to have to change the head. he s going to have to put these and this is brilliant on roger s part these female breasts which everybody thought wow, that s the kind of detail nobody could make that up. it s so credible and believable. well, the check arrived and i sent the suit out to him. he called me back and said, listen, you can see the zipper in the back of the suit. i said well, that s easy to overcome. get a hair brush. brush it back and forth across the zipper. that was the last i heard from him. until he sees his suit on tv. i told my wife come here. you want to see this. she walks in and said oh, look. there s our gorilla suit. morris keeps quiet about his involvement hoping that patterson would talk about making the film. i didn t say anything to anybody because i thought our market was for magicians. it would be unethical to sell
