The September 1996 issue of a major American magazine announced on its cover: “The Alien: World’s first authentic photograph”. Three photos were published in the sealed magazine which “may well be the most important pictures in the history of photography”, announced the editor.
More than a decade later, those images are still one the first that show up for anyone looking for “real alien images” on the net.
Where did they come from? Well, there was a long story for them, going from Nazis to Roswell and, of course, conspiracy:
“The picture belonged to the daughter of a German scientist who escaped to America at the outset of World War II. In this country the scientist worked with Einstein and Oppenheimer and was also involved in top-secret government research endeavors, including the infamous Philadelphia Experiment and the investigation of the crash of a mysterious spacecraft in Roswell, New Mexico, in the late 1940s."
"Years after the Roswell crash, the woman says, her father presented her with several frames of motion-picture film, instructing her to keep them hidden, making it clear to her that simply possessing the film could endanger her life. Yet the film, he assured her, was genuine, and would prove beyond any possibility of denial the government’s cover-up of alien visitors on Earth. She would know when the time was right to reveal the pictures to the world."
"The images remained in the woman’s possession for nearly half a century. Devoted to her father — and her father’s memory — she obeyed his wishes and said nothing. Gradually, as public interest in the alien-visitation phenomenon grew, and as hoaxes such as the recent ‘film’ of an alien autopsy attracted attention and controversy, she began to consider going public with her secret film."
"The woman’s name will not be made public. Her well-being is in part responsible for that decision. ‘How we got in touch with each other is our business,’ Guccione says. ‘I respect her privacy and sympathize with her concerns for her own safety And I have absolutely no doubt that these pictures are genuine.’ He also has little doubt that, now that the pictures are in print, the government will insist that this is simply another hoax."
In fact there was no need for the government to insist on anything. What we didn’t tell you is that the editor was Bob Guccione, and the magazine was Penthouse. Keep reading for the whole, actual story. It’s safe for work.
