The 'Alien Autopsy Memo' - An alleged 2001 National Institute for Discovery Science document surfaces

This document is a blog post by Keith Basterfield, dated June 8, 2019, which investigates the provenance and content of an eleven-page document that surfaced on imgur.com in June 2019. The document purports to be a memo from Dr. Eric Davis to Robert Bigelow, dated March 23, 2001, detailing professional evaluations of 'alien autopsy' films and reports conducted by Dr. Kit Green. The blog post provides a detailed breakdown of the memo's contents, specifically focusing on two briefings mentioned: an unofficial 1987/88 Pentagon briefing and an official 1991/92 CIA briefing. Basterfield cross-references these claims with Jacques Vallee's published diaries, specifically 'Forbidden Science: Volume Three' and 'Forbidden Science: Volume Four.' Basterfield notes that he cannot find any matching details in Vallee's diaries for the briefings described in the memo. The post also includes research into individuals mentioned in the memo, such as Jim Westwood, Bill McGarity, and Kristin B. Zimmerman, providing biographical context for their potential involvement. The document concludes with an update from July 2019, noting that researcher Richard Dolan communicated with Dr. Kit Green, who reportedly confirmed the authenticity of the leaked email but emphatically denied believing the being in the Santilli film was an alien. The overall tone of the document is one of critical historical inquiry, attempting to verify the claims made in the leaked memo against established records and personal accounts.
