The "ALIEN Autopsy" Film That Fooled Millions (The Santilli Film)

In 1995, the world saw what it had been waiting for since the Roswell Incident: grainy, black-and-white footage of a real Alien Autopsy. Millions were glued to their screens as the Fox network aired the special. The visual proof was undeniable... until it wasn't.This is the story of the Santilli Film, one of the greatest hoaxes of the 20th century. But this episode isn't just about a rubber dummy and a clever filmmaker. It's a deep dive into the psychology of belief and a chilling look at the power of visual "proof." We explore why our brains are hardwired to believe what we see, even when it's a lie.And here's the terrifying part: this 90s hoax was just the beta test for our modern world of fake news, deepfakes, and rampant disinformation. The very same psychological loopholes that made millions believe in a fake alien are being exploited every single day on your social media feed.We trace the history of propaganda and information warfare to understand how we got here, and why in an age of lies, the demand for authentic video has never been higher. This is the ultimate lesson in media literacy.Before you believe the next viral video, you need to hear this. If this episode makes you a smarter, more skeptical consumer of media, then our job is done.
