A frame from the 1995 black-and-white film ‘Alien Autopsy’ purportedly showing the corpse of an alien on an operating table, \u043f\u0440\u043e\u0434\u0430\u0434\u0443\u0442<\/a> on the online auction site Rarible.<\/p>\n

The starting price of the lot is 450 WETH (over $1.2 million at the time of writing).<\/p>\n

The 17-minute film is dedicated to the \u0420\u043e\u0437\u0443\u044d\u043b\u043b\u044c\u0441\u043a\u043e\u043c\u0443 \u0438\u043d\u0446\u0438\u0434\u0435\u043d\u0442\u0443<\/a> \u2013 the alleged crash of a UFO near the American town of Roswell in New Mexico in July 1947. Conspiracy theorists say that the U.S. government captured the alien aboard the craft.<\/p>\n

The film’s author, London entrepreneur Ray Santilli, said that the footage included real alien-autopsy footage allegedly provided to him by a retired military operator on the condition of anonymity.<\/p>\n

But by 2006 Santilli admitted that the film is more of a reconstruction of footage that he says he viewed in 1992.<\/p>\n

The shoot took place in a flat in London. The alien was created by special-effects expert John Hamfris, who worked on some scenes of the cult series \u201cDoctor Who.\u201d \u0421\u043a\u0443\u043b\u044c\u043f\u0442\u0443\u0440\u0443 \u0438\u0437 \u0440\u0435\u0437\u0438\u043d\u044b, \u043c\u0435\u0442\u0430\u043b\u043b\u0430 \u0438 \u043b\u0430\u0442\u0435\u043a\u0441\u0430<\/a> was stuffed with internal organs of cows and lambs bought at a meat market. Hamfris himself appears as one of the pathologists.<\/p>\n

The auction runs until June 6. The winner will receive not only the NFT but also a 16-millimetre negative film of this frame.<\/p>\n

Earlier in April, director Kevin Smith put up his new horror film ‘Killroy Was Here’<\/a> as a non-fungible token. The purchaser of the NFT will gain the right to display, distribute and broadcast the film.<\/p>\n
