The alleged "alien autopsy" is not a central component of Nick Redfern's proposed explanation for the Roswell incident, as might be inferred from the previous post. Nevertheless, I think the (largely unwarranted) stigma it has acquired threatens to preclude it from the serious consideration it deserves.

As Redfern notes in "Body Snatchers in the Desert," the being in the footage looks very much like a victim of progeria, a genetic defect also known as "Hutchinson-Gilford progeria syndrome." If Redfern is correct and the military conducted human experiments on "expendable" deformed humans who could be made to "disappear" with little or no notice, then progeria sufferers would certainly seem likely candidates.

The National Organization for Rare Disorders describes progeria as follows:

" . . . a rare fatal, genetic condition of childhood with striking features resembling premature aging. Children with progeria usually have a normal appearance in early infancy. At approximately nine to 24 months of age, affected children begin to experience profound growth delays, resulting in short stature and low weight. They also develop a distinctive facial appearance characterized by a disproportionately small face in comparison to the head; an underdeveloped jaw (micrognathia); malformation and crowding of the teeth; abnormally prominent eyes; a small, nose; prominent eyes and a subtle blueness around the mouth. In addition, by the second year of life, the scalp hair, eyebrows, and eyelashes are lost (alopecia), and the scalp hair may be replaced by small, downy, white or blond hairs."

Sound familiar?

Have you ever seen a review by a pathologist saying that it looks real?

Yes.

Keep in mind, too, that the medical personnel in the footage are working under time constraints posed by radiation, if the plaque on the wall and the isolation suits are any indication.

This isn't a conventional autopsy. The surgeons look like they're specifically trying for certain organs, which they quickly place in specimen jars and note on a clipboard. I think this is consistent with Redfern's human experimentation theory.

I think it has been sufficiently proven that the "autopsy" is a hoax. I don't have the energy to go through all the inconsistencies, but I did way back when the footage was released.

And the "alien" doesn't look like someone with progeria to me, except in the vaguest way.

And what about this idea... maybe the government/military had seen examples of the typical gray alien, either dead bodies or via some other contact. Would they not look for the closest human equivalents to the gray physiology? Might they then decide to do some experiments on people with progeria? That seems more likely and less farfetched than Redfern's theory.

"Proven"? That's quite a trick given that there is simply no conclusive evidence (pro or con).

It's an astoundingly accurate match.

I personally find your alternative theory far more bizarre than Redfern's.
