Hey Look - We Made the News!
ABC News 20/20 - April 4, 1997
Possibly the first prime-time presentation of an opposing
viewpoint to the original FOX-TV broadcast. (Gee, it only took
eighteen months.)
In
addition to showing Trey pointing out flaws in the autopsy FX,
the show touched on several other major points - including the
fact that the film has never been "verified",
the irregularities in the technique of the supposed "military
cameraman", and Stan Winston's
real opinion of the film.
The show also included a nice demonstration of
alien-autopsying by Steve Johnson, whose
Roswell alien is already
preferred three to one by autopsy
hoaxers everywhere.
FOX-TV News At Ten (San Francisco) - November 8, 1996
Aired a series of followups on the "Alien Autopsy"
film. In one of the segments, Trey appeared on camera next to
two-time Oscar winner Phil Tippett. Both gave their opinion on
the "autopsy". It went like this:
Phil Tippett: "It's a rubber guy."
Trey Stokes: "Yeah, it's a rubber guy."
(At least there wasn't much room for misinterpretation.)
The reporter somehow got the idea that Trey, rather than
Phil Tippett, had worked on Jurassic Park, and said so
on the air - despite the fact that Tippett's Oscar for that
film was sitting on a nearby shelf during the entire
interview. But hey, it's an honor just to be nominated...
Cinescape magazine - July, 1996
An issue devoted to The X-Files, ID4, and other
extraterrestrial topics featured a sidebar mentioning How
to Make An Alien.
Could it be because the same author also wrote the "E.T.
or F/X?" article for Internet Underground (see
below)? Hmm, could be.
Globo TV (Brazil) - February 4th, 1996
Aired an update about the "alien autopsy" (yes, it
was a big TV hit there, too), based upon our How to
Make An Alien page.
The Washington Post - December 22nd, 1995
Joel Achenbach's Why Things Are column tackled the
complex question "Why do some people believe the Air
Force recovered extraterrestrial bodies from a UFO crash near
Roswell, N.M. in 1947?", and included a quote from our
Skeptical Inquirer article as part of the answer.
Skeptical Inquirer - January/February 1996
Featured a slightly altered print version of
How to Make An Alien.
UFO Times - January 1996
Also featured a slightly altered print version of
How to Make An Alien.
UFO Magazine - November/December 1995
Mentioned our Alien Autopsy page in an editorial entitled "Footage
Update: Why Skepticism Reigns".
Internet Underground - Volume One, Issue One
Their debut issue listed our alien autopsy site as one of
its Net Top Ten for the month, and also gave us more
attention than we probably deserved in an article entitled
Autopsy - E.T. or F/X?
Skeptical Inquirer - November/December 1995
Trey got a brief quote in Joe Nickell's Alien Autopsy
article.
