The Alien Autopsy Scandal unravels how two friends sparked a worldwide media frenzy by unearthing jaw-dropping film purporting to show an extra-terrestrial being.
The series unpicks how the footage, which alleged to show the corpse of an alien recovered from a 1947 crash site near Roswell, New Mexico, went on to convince millions - quite seriously - that they were finally seeing proof of life from another planet.
Now, thirty years later, as debates over extra-terrestrial life reach the highest levels of the U.S. government - with military whistle-blowers testifying to encounters with unidentified aerial phenomena - the series sets out to uncover the truth behind the footage, exploring the blurred line between fact and belief, and revealing a story even more extraordinary than anyone first imagined. It poses the question, what do you actually believe?
