Roswell Centre

Dead space aliens on the Web! And they're just itching to collect your hard-earned cash. Or, rather, the British entrepreneur who claims to have landed actual film footage of alien autopsies is just itching to sell you a video cassette copy of the earth-shattering event (for a mere UK 35 pounds). Hover over to Roswell Centre and decide for yourself whether it's all an elaborate, potentially lucrative hoax (as the British newspapers say) or the gospel truth. Here's the background: In 1947 something weird crashed outside of Roswell, New Mexico. It's an absolute fact that the U.S. Army announced to the world it had recovered a crashed "flying disk." But the very next day, military brass recanted and claimed the object had been a mundane weather balloon. Little wonder the Roswell story has since grown to mythic proportions--replete with tales of recovered alien corpses. Fast forward to 1995, and an enterprising Brit named Ray Santilli claims to have purchased film footage (from the original, now aged cameraman) of said alien autopsy, conducted 48 years ago by the coverup-happy U.S. gubmint. No freemarket fool, Santilli will only give you a fuzzy glimpse of the deceased spaceborne critter on his Web site--too bad he had to choose a hoaky-looking Weekly World Newsish freeze frame. Still, it's an easier way to see purported aliens than loitering in a swamp somewhere. (JW)
