Area 51 The Revealing Truth of Ufos, Secret Aircraft, Cover-Ups & Conspiracies
Now let’s get to the heart of the story. According to Victor, he was the person who secretly and illegally made a copy of the film in 1996 with the intent of smuggling it out of the base and presenting it to the world’s media, but how, and under what specific circumstances, did the film surface? UFO researcher Michael Salla, who has dug deeply into the story, says: “Victor does not provide many specifics about his work at the S-4 facility, where the video interview occurred. He claims that he came into possession of a digital version of the video after it had been transferred from the original analog version.
Victor smuggled the digital copy out of the S-4 facility and made a VHS copy that he took to various major news networks to have it released as part of a major disclosure. He was rejected by the major networks and had to settle for a home video company called Rocket Pictures that paid him an undisclosed amount of money. A one- hour documentary that focused on Victor’s revelations was produced with the title: Area 51: The Alien Interview. Victor was also interviewed on May 23 [1997] by Art Bell and Sean David Morton on the radio program Coast to Coast AM on which he elaborated on aspects of his involvement at S-4.
That was the last time the public was to hear from Victor.” It’s interesting to note that, if this is a hoax, the hoaxer went to great lengths to ensure that it came across as—at least—intriguing. For example, when Victor was interviewed on Coast to Coast AM, he took certain steps to protect his identity, namely, that he used a voice-altering device to ensure that he would not be recognized. It should be noted, though, that Victor phoned in to the show. It is, therefore, possible that Victor’s phone number is known to the staff at Coast to Coast AM. Unless, that is, he deliberately withheld the number, which is far more likely a scenario.
As for the conversation between an unidentified man and the supposed alien, the portion of the footage that can be seen online runs to just under three minutes. The room is very dark and, in the shadows, one can see what are purported to be the head and shoulders of a definitive extraterrestrial “Gray,” the diminutive, large-headed, black-eyed aliens that are now a significant part of pop culture. The video has no audio due to the fact that, so Victor claimed, if voices could be heard, then they might well lead to their identification.
Supposedly, the alien was the survivor of a deliberate attack on its spacecraft by U.S. military forces back in 1989.
Having been recovered alive, it was secretly whisked away to Area 51 and, one assumes, lived there until at least 1996. In the interview, it can be seen that the alleged alien is behind a section of glass. When questioned, Victor claimed that this was not for the protection of the interrogator but for the creature itself. The concern, Victor maintained, was that the alien had to be kept in an isolated area to prevent it from falling sick to terrestrial microbes and viruses. On this same point, Victor described the area in which the alien was situated as a “bio-containment area.” A careful study of the footage reveals that a pair of TV screens can be seen reflected in that same piece of glass.
Researchers noted discoloration on the head of the alien, which provoked theories that the alien was significantly bruised, but no one knows how, or at least no one is telling. Victor maintained that the interview itself was undertaken by a high-ranking U.S. military officer. This is all very interesting, but it’s made problematic because of the fact that the footage is so dark and shadowy that the camera angle does not allow us a look at the man asking the questions. We’re forced to take Victor’s word for it. All that can really be seen is the head of the alien, which is arguably the most important part of the footage anyway.
At one point in the interrogation, matters begin to deteriorate. The alien appears to be in distress and seems to have something akin to a fit. A pair of medics are quickly on the scene and try to help the convulsing creature: one wipes its mouth, while the other shines a light that illuminates the head of the alien. That’s where the footage cuts off. It’s not at all surprising that the footage polarized the UFO research community into two specific camps: those who believed the film to be real and those who were sure that what was filmed was nothing more than a sophisticated, special-effects-driven model.
Two decades later, that is still where things stand. The believers believe, and the skeptics don’t. As for Victor, he has never surfaced again—unless, of course, he chose to adopt yet another possible alias and has been responsible for additional tales of Area 51. As for Sean David Morton, well, take a look at what UFOWatchdog noted in January 2018: “If you’re unaware, Sean David Morton was sentenced to 72 months in federal prison last September for his part in a scheme to defraud the IRS, including receiving a nearly $500,000 return based on a fraudulent tax return he filed. His wife was sentenced to 24 months.” UFOWatchdog is indeed correct: Morton and his wife are now behind bars.
The mystery—and controversy—continues. One final thing on this very strange story: just maybe the alien doll in the film (if that’s what it is) was the very same one used to deceive Bob Lazar into thinking that Area 51 had aliens.
