Fairly Convincing and Well Made Documentary

One of my favorite things to read about and research is conspiracy theories, especially ones involving aliens. I had done some reading about the infamous Alien Autopsy and decided that it couldn't possibly be a real thing. My mind was made up and nothing was ever going to change it. That was, however, all before I saw this film. I wouldn't say I believe in it completely but I have a little less reason reason to doubt as this well done documentary was quite convincing.

There are very interesting points from doctors, government personnel, private investigators and even the late Stan Winston. What I enjoyed about this film was that it gives the viewers the side of the believers and of the skeptics so you can choose which you agree more with on your own.

I still have a lot of questions about the autopsy but this film is very intriguing and interesting. You should check it out if you're a conspiracy theory junkie like I am.
