108 perception that most UFO cases are caused by hoaxes, when in fact UFO hoaxes are relatively rare. Investigator Antonio Huneeus conducted a study of dozens of UFO hoaxes. Writes Huneeus, “The few official studies undertaken on the UFO phenomenon have shown hoaxes not to be statistically significant. Out of the total of 13,134 UFO reports collected by the Air Force’s Project Blue Book and its predecessors between 1947 and 1969, only 116 cases, or 0.9 percent, were labeled hoaxes.” Even though hoaxes are rare, ufologists have learned the hard way to be very careful when evaluating UFO reports. Thankfully, most hoaxes can be uncovered by an in-depth investigation. UFO cases that may seem solid at first suddenly fall apart under close examination. Witnesses may change their story. Physical evidence turns out to be false. Even UFO photographs can be faked. Fortunately, most hoaxes are revealed before they can do much damage. However, every now and then, a spectacular UFO case makes it into the record, and then later turns out to be a hoax. For this reason, investigators cannot be too careful. One typical example is known as the “Alien Autopsy.” In 1996, filmmaker Ray Santilli electrified the world with the release of footage showing the autopsy of an alleged extraterrestrial being. The footage was said to have been purchased from an anonymous cameraman who claimed the film showed one of the aliens from the several times in a television special. The film itself was shocking. It showed a human-looking figure lying dead on a table. While the figure did have two arms, two legs, and a head, any similarity to a human being ended there. The figure had six fingers on each hand, large dark eyes, white skin, and an abnor- mally large, bald head. The film showed two doctors cutting into the body and removing several organs.
