Alien-Autopsie aus medizinischer Sicht!

The main article features an analysis by Dr.med.A.Th.Schäfer, a specialist in forensic medicine, regarding the Santilli film, which purports to show an alien autopsy. Dr. Schäfer questions several details in the film, such as the creature's lack of hair, unusual facial features, absence of a navel and nipples, distended abdomen, six fingers and toes, and lack of brain convolutions. He also notes the 'disguised' appearance of the autopsy technicians and the non-standard operating table.

Dr. Schäfer's opinion is that the film depicts the autopsy of an injured, malformed, female child. He suggests that the facial expression and polydactyly (six fingers) are indicative of a condition like 'Akrozehhalopolysyndaktylie-Syndrome,' a rare but sometimes familial malformation.

Furthermore, he points out that the improvised autopsy table and the nature of the fluid emerging from the incision suggest manipulation. He explains that in reality, significant bleeding from incisions after death is rare because blood pressure ceases, and blood pools in the lower parts of the body due to gravity, forming lividity.

Crucially, Dr. Schäfer argues that the film cannot be an autopsy of an extraterrestrial being because the procedure shown is fundamentally flawed for such a purpose. He distinguishes between two types of autopsy: anatomical and pathological.

Anatomical vs. Pathological Autopsy

The anatomical autopsy aims to understand the body's structure, a method practiced by Renaissance anatomists and still taught to medical students. This involves layer-by-layer dissection to study muscles, their origins and insertions, blood vessels, nerves, bones, joints, and organs to understand their structure and function.

The pathological autopsy, on the other hand, is performed to determine the cause of death or reconstruct injury mechanisms. It involves opening body cavities and examining internal organs for specific damage. However, this technique requires prior anatomical knowledge to identify organs and their normal state.

Dr. Schäfer asserts that the Santilli film clearly shows a pathological autopsy. He contends that the technicians, if the film is not entirely staged, must have known the expected anatomical structures. This would not be the case for an extraterrestrial being, even if it resembled a human. He dismisses the idea that the similarity to humans would negate the need for detailed anatomical study, stating that proving such similarity requires precise anatomical dissection.

He concludes that the question of what the autopsy aimed to clarify is also problematic. While a pathological autopsy is suitable for investigating disease or injury, it's an unusual approach for studying alien life forms. The primary question for alien beings should be about their anatomy, which can only be revealed through an anatomical autopsy. He stresses that even with multiple specimens, a single anatomical autopsy is insufficient to understand the full range of variations in alien structures.

Therefore, Dr. Schäfer concludes that the autopsy technique shown in the Santilli film is entirely inappropriate for the unique and sensational discovery of alien life forms, especially when a more suitable and well-established anatomical method has been known for centuries and is taught to every medical and biology student.

Additional Notes on the Santilli Film

The article also includes a brief note from Skeptics UFO Newsletter 36/Nov.95, pointing out that a visible wall telephone with a coiled cord in the autopsy room was only introduced in 1956, further casting doubt on the film's authenticity.

Hybridwesen oder Natur? Medizin-Wunder

This section reports on the birth of a baby girl named Celine in Leipzig, Germany, to Jean Watter. The baby was born with six fingers on each hand and six toes on each foot, totaling 12 digits. Initially disbelieving, the mother and midwife counted the digits, confirming the unusual condition. Dr. Klaus Sandig, a human geneticist, examined Celine and ruled out genetic diseases, suggesting a spontaneous mutation as the likely cause, with a probability of 1 in 2500. Celine's grandmother, Sonja, also mentioned having six fingers on one hand as a child, suggesting a possible hereditary link. Celine is scheduled for surgery in three weeks to remove the extra fingers.

Blick in die Presse:

This section presents a collection of short news items from various publications:

Rätsel Stonehenge gelöst?

A report from BILD on November 30, 1995, suggests that the mystery of Stonehenge might be close to being solved. Similar giant stones found in Wales are identical to those at Stonehenge. The article speculates that these stones were brought by Druids (wise men) to Stonehenge as mementos 4000 years ago. It questions whether extraterrestrials were involved or if nature shaped them.

Beschleuniger im Weltall

An article from FOCUS 47/1995 discusses how physicists are trying to understand how cosmic radiation reaches near light speed. Japanese physicist Katsuji Koyama, along with NASA scientists, may have discovered the accelerator: a camera that recorded high-speed electrons in the remnants of a supernova from the year 1006. This supports the theory that supernovae are the birthplaces of cosmic radiation.

Dorf der Zwerge

A BILD Rhein-Neckar report from December 2, 1995, investigates a village in China's Baian-Kara-Ula Mountains where 120 small-statured individuals live, many under 1.15 meters tall. Initially, environmental toxins were suspected. However, China researcher Hartwig Hausdorf proposes that these 'dwarfs' are descendants of extraterrestrial 'havarists' (crash survivors). He cites evidence from a 1938 Chinese expedition that found burial sites with small skeletons (around 1.20 meters) with unusually large skulls. Cave walls depicted the sun, moon, and planets. Stone discs found with the remains contained strange hieroglyphs. A Chinese professor later deciphered fragments of the script, revealing that the 'aliens' called themselves 'Dropa' and came from the sky in flying apparatuses. They hid for ten days, and the local people understood their peaceful intentions. The article notes that the dwarf population still lives in the area and is referred to by locals as 'Dropa'.

Recurring Themes and Editorial Stance

The magazine appears to cover a range of topics related to unexplained phenomena, including alleged extraterrestrial encounters, medical analyses of unusual cases, and ancient mysteries. The editorial stance seems to favor critical examination, as evidenced by the detailed medical debunking of the Santilli alien autopsy film. However, it also presents speculative theories about ancient astronauts and unexplained biological occurrences, suggesting an open-minded yet analytical approach to these subjects.
