Bob Shell Speaks Out on the Film

Conference in the Encounters Forum, August, 1995


I was not involved in this conference but I did find the transcript in the Mufon Library of the Encounters Forum on Compuserve. It is a conference with Bob Shell sharing his perspectives on the film. Also, Mr. Shell has agreed to an interview for our web site so this conference will prepare you for some of his position on the Roswell Film.

If you are a CompuServe user, you can obtain more information by typing in GO ENCOUNTERS and going to the MUFON Forum. Or you can visit the ENCOUNTERS home page at:

The conference seems to be starting when Mr. Shell makes his first statements........


  BOB  SHELL           | The film is being seriously checked out right 
                       | now.  But if
                       | this is FOX's standards, I may not cooperate 
                       | with them in
                       | the follow up.  Where was Bruce Maccabee??? 
                       | They
                       | taped a bunch with him.
                       | Elapsed time of autopsy, if I recall right, 
                       | was one hour and
                       | forty minutes. 
                       | Maccabee isn't the only one who was 
                       | cut!!!!!!!!!!
                       | This was not the FIRST autopsy they had done 
                       | on one of
                       | these RUBES, so they already knew about the 
                       | eyes.
                       | Jay,  I'm the guy in charge of investigating 
                       | the film.  I've
                       | got lots of info that isn't public yet.
                       | I have the cameraman's statement, which I 
                       | have done
                       | some research on.  I have his statements and 
                       | answers to
                       | questions.  I have a piece of the actual film 
                       | here on my
                       | desk.  What more do you want?
  :Theresa/SL/MUFON    | If you wish to ask a question please post a 
                       | single ? 
  BOB  SHELL           | Based on my investigation, I give a 95% 
                       | scientific
                       | probability that the film was manufactured, 
                       | exposed and
                       | processed in 1947.  That's my professional 
                       | opinion about
                       | the film.  I can't type fast enough to keep 
                       | up with you
                       | guys.  Got a bad left hand, so I'm sorta slow.
                       | 
                       | The cameraman is in his 80s, and needed money.
                       | I need some specific questions to answer, one 
                       | at a time.
  :Theresa/SL/MUFON    | Ok, Bull go ahead.
  BOB  SHELL           | I know who the cameraman is, I know where he 
                       | is.
  :Theresa/SL/MUFON    | You had a question, Bull.
  BullAtFour           | How did you arrive at this 95% Probability?
  BOB  SHELL           | The 95% probablilty was reached by careful 
                       | analysis of the
                       | films physical characteristics.  Too long to 
                       | go into here.  It
                       | is all posted in my messages on the forum.
  :Erik Funderburk:    | Welcome Whitley!
  :Theresa\Hostess     | Bob, post a GA when you are done typing so I 
                       | know to call on the next person.
  BOB  SHELL           | 95% probability that the film was 
                       | manufactured, exposed
                       | and processed in 1947.
  Whitley Strieber     | !
  BOB  SHELL           | OK , GA
  :Theresa\Hostess     | Be patient folks, Bob is learning the hard 
                       | way here.
                       | Debbie Ga with your question.
  Debbie Hagar         | Bob, what is the most compelling piece of 
                       | evidence of the film's authenticity (as a 
                       | film, 
                       | not the alien bodies?)  The film itself, the 
                       | leaders, the cameraman, or what?
  BOB  SHELL           | The film itself.  It matches what it should 
                       | be to be military
                       | film from 1947.  GA

  :Ann Fischer/SL23    | Welcome to Encounters.  Tonight we are 
                       | hosting a 
                       | formal discussion of the Alien Autopsy Film.  
                       | To ask 
                       | a question please type a "?".  To make a 
                       | comment 
                       | please type a "!".  Thank you.
  BOB  SHELL           | Jay,  since you missed the GA, I'll answer 
                       | anyway.  They
                       | had three of the RUBEs to autopsy, and this 
                       | is at least the
                       | second.
  :Theresa\Hostess     | Freedom, GA.
  BOB  SHELL           | Cameraman's notations on film box say autopsy 
                       | number two.  GA
  freedom              | How about the doctors who perform the 
                       | operation has anyone ever tried to find them?
  Jay                  | thanks
  BOB  SHELL           | We only know the name of one doctor.  Detlev 
                       | Bronk.  He
                       | is dead, but we know he was involved in black 
                       | projects.

                       | sequences and get other names.  GA
  :Theresa\Hostess     | Dale, GA.
  BOB  SHELL           | That's an old story.  I personally doubt it. 
                       | GA
  :Theresa\Hostess     | Thanks, BOB, Carol W. Ga
  Carol Wennerdahl     | Bob, you said that there was more that Fox 
                       | could have shown.  What would you have 
                       | recommended that they should have aired 
                       | instead?
  BOB  SHELL           | The whole enchilada!  They have 21 minutes of 
                       | dynamite
                       | footage, yet peddled less than ten, and much 
                       | of that repeated.  GA

  Donald Shevlin       | The ship is hard evidence do you have any 
                       | idea as to it's where abouts? ga
  BOB  SHELL           | No I do not.  The cameraman says it was taken 
                       | by flatbed
                       | truck to Wright Patterson.  GA

  BOB  SHELL           | If you mean all three autopsies, yes.  Two in 
                       | July of 1947
                       | and a third in May of 1949.  GA
  :Theresa\Hostess     | Bob Felix, GA
  Bob Felix            | Bob, can you say any more about  the chemical 
                       | testing of the film now that the Fox show 
                       | has aired?  Any luck with the stuck roll 
                       | marked "Truman"?  -Charlottesville, VA.
  BOB  SHELL           | The chemical testing should move forward now 
                       | that Fox no
                       | longer has any reason to interfere with it.  
                       | The "Truman"
                       | roll will be unrolled in due time.  GA
  :Theresa\Hostess     | Alan GA.
  Alan David Pocaro    | Bob,  was the autopsy shown 
                       | on the show the first, and if so 
                       | why has rigamortis set in so 
                       | quickly?
                       | specificaly the oral areas of 
                       | the creature
  BOB  SHELL           | The autopsy shown tonight was the second.  
                       | How do you
                       | know how rapidly rigor mortis sets in on an 
                       | alien?????  GA
  :Theresa\Hostess     |  Denise, GA
  Denise T             | First, welcome to Bob Shell and to Whitley 
                       | Streiber.  
                       | My question is, I understand a follow-up 
                       | documentary 
                       | is being made.  Any idea when it will be 
                       | aired, and 
                       | will it cover additional research made on the 
                       | film 
                       | since this special was filmed? Bob, your 
                       | research is 
                       | quite compelling and is a valuable addition.
  BOB  SHELL           | I don't know about this.  My relations with 
                       | FOX were rocky
                       | and I kept my mouth shut about it until after 
                       | the show, but
                       | I am no happy since they didn't even keep 
                       | their promise of
                       | a credit at the end of the show, after I 
                       | shared all of my
                       | results with them.  GA
  :Theresa\Hostess     | Jason, GA.
  Jason Hamilton       | Just looking at the format and style of the 
                       | show, 
                       | does any one see it as the overwhelming 
                       | evidence 
                       | it should be ,if real? Does  this peak public 
                       | interest or tabliod it?  GA
  BOB  SHELL           | I am afraid that truth was now well served by 
                       | what we saw
                       | tonight.  Stan Friedman said it near the end, 
                       | this film has
                       | nothing to do with the "traditional" Roswell 
                       | story.  GA
  :Theresa\Hostess     | Drew, GA
  BOB  SHELL           | Typo  should say not well served
  Drew                 | Please clarify. Is there footage of the 
                       | wreckage site and is Truman present?
  BOB  SHELL           | There may be, but it is on one of the rolls 
                       | which are still
                       | stuck together and can't yet be unrolled.  GA

                       | sections of film for
                       | testing.  I would not want to have this

                       | intestines, kidneys, etc.  They are totally

                       | section of the film been provided to Kodak 
                       | yet for chemical analysis?  If so, when can 
                       | results be expected to be released? 
  BOB  SHELL           | I'd rather not go into the FOX bit here on an 
                       | open discussion.  Ask me in a private forum 
                       | message.  Film will

  BOB  SHELL           | Indi-Anna----- damned if I know.  The film is 
                       | in black and
                       | white and the cameraman hasn't said.  
                       | Honestly, I've been
                       | too busy with photographic questions to ask 
                       | him biological
                       | ones yet.  That will come in time.  My guess 
                       | is that it's red,
                       | because if it was some other color he would 
                       | have mentioned it.  GA

  Frank Stanley, Ph.D  | What is the most recent information on the 
                       | authenticity of
                       | the film, Bob Shell or others?  Also there 
                       | are discrepancies
                       | between the number of aliens which were 
                       | reportedly alive
                       | at the crash site in things I have read and 
                       | the film tonight. GA
  BOB  SHELL           | Much of what was said tonight was nonsense. 
                       | The
                       | cameraman says four were found, all alive at 
                       | first.  One
                       | was killed by over zealous military who hit 
                       | it in the head
                       | with a rifle butt.  The other three were 
                       | alive when taken
                       | into custody, but two were badly injured and 
                       | the medical
                       | people really didn't know how to help them.  
                       | They died
                       | within days.  The fourth lived for two years. 
                       |  All according to the cameraman.  GA

                       | we've come so far!  We're ready for it!

  :Theresa\Hostess     | Ok, Rick M is ready now, GA Rick.
  Rick Monteverde      | It has been reported that Truman could not 
                       | have been in Roswell at the time of the July 
                       | 4th timeframe. Now ...
                       | this film argues for an earlier date. Do you 
                       | know if that "free up" Truman for the new 
                       | time frame? And... what was Rep. Schiff's 
                       | reaction as of today?  GA
  BOB  SHELL           | We've asked the Truman Library for his travel 
                       | schedule,
                       | and he wasn't there----officially.  Don't 
                       | know about Schiff,
                       | since when I was on Ollie North's show today 
                       | with Schiff, I
                       | only got to hear my segment.  Local radio 
                       | doesn't carry it. 
                       | I have to wait for the tape.  Wish I was in

  Greg                 | Has anyone addressed what appears to be a 
                       | blink by the 'alien' during the discussion of 
                       | Turner's Syndrome.  Very fast in real-time, 
                       | but very suspicious in frame-by-frame.  It 
                       | happens just after they remove something from 
                       | the eye and zoom in.  Check it out.  GA
   BOB  SHELL          | Greg, I noticed it on first viewing, and went 
                       | through frame
                       | by frame.  It isn't a blink by the alien, but 
                       | a flaw in the film.  GA
  :Theresa\Hostess     | Alphonse, GA
  Alphonse J. Bazzica  | Hi Bob.  Is there any chance of congressional 
                       | hearing on this incident particularly the 
                       | charge of a government cover up
  BOB  SHELL           | Your guess is as good as mine on that.  
                       | Schiff says he has
                       | more than 20 congressmen interested.  I sure 
                       | hope so.  GA

                       | many of you were "fence-sitters", and have 
                       | now 
                       | a) been "won over" to believeing in the 
                       | Roswell Story because of this documentary, or 
                       | b) don't believe a word of it, because you 
                       | think the autopsy was a fake?  (Just giving 
                       | old Bob a little break here )  GA

  Kent Lawrence        | Yer welcome, ma'am! 
  Roger Prokic         | Bob, with the public pressure to have the 
                       | govt relase secret documents on the Roswell 
                       | incident, do you think that these reels of 
                       | film
                       | were somehow allowed to be released by the 
                       | gov't as a face-saving maneuver?
  BOB  SHELL           | That's been suggested.  I have no knowledge 
                       | one way or
                       | the other on that point.  GA
  :Theresa\Hostess     | Drew, GA.
  Roger Prokic         | it would be possible though right Bob?
  BOB  SHELL           | Roger, certainly it would be.  GA
  Drew                 | Do you know the make/model of camera that was 
                       | used and is it hand-wound?
  BOB  SHELL           | It was a Bell & Howell Filmo 70 model D.  It 
                       | is spring driven
                       | and can shoot one full 100' roll on a 
                       | winding.  Each roll is
                       | about 2' 45" of so in running time.  GA

  Michael L. Hart      | In regards to an earlier question, I was at a 
                       | recent UFO 
                       | conference where a few speakers mentioned 
                       | that there is a lot of 
                       | information scheduled to be released by the 
                       | Gov't..TODAY.  GA
  BOB  SHELL           | Sorry, wrong Michael.  No I've heard nothing 
                       | about that.

  Muzik                | The BIG QUESTION, what do we do next? If the 
                       | UFO society believes this to be real then it 
                       | is up to us to do something, but what? 
                       | Thanks Bob for the great help you've been. GA
  BOB  SHELL           | If you believe it is real, really believe it 
                       | in your heart and
                       | soul, then it is up to you to convince others 
                       | and work to
                       | get the truth out.  This will take a group

  BRUCE ARGUELLES      | I,ve heard Truman is present on one of these

                       | the film which
                       | has been transferred to tape.  He may be on a

  :Nikolaus L/DL       | Bob, do you know, why none of tv channels

                       | anything else than the autopsy, no debris, no 
                       | tent-autopsy etc., no 
                       | real background-info? Does the researchers

                       | why most of what we saw. ...
                       | is just the autopsy of the RUBE

  BOB  SHELL           | Ask FOX.  They have the debris and tent 
                       | footage.  Maybe
                       | they are saving them for the follow-up show 
                       | they say they
                       | will do.  The debris footage is very 
                       | interesting, and much
                       | more convincing when you see it in motion

                       | quality GIF files in the library.  I think
