Press Release Summary = \"The Roswell Crash: Startling New Evidence,\" the Sci-Fi
Channel\'s UFO documentary, tried to find some new answers to the legendary 1947
mystery. It has also inspired a parody, \"The Top Secret UFO Project,\" filmmaker R.
J. Thomas\' spoof of UFO documentaries.


Press Release Body = In 2002, the Sci-Fi Channel sponsored a dig in Roswell, New
Mexico, at the site of a reported UFO crash. Archaeologists were searching for any
debris that may have been left behind, hoping to find some answers to the 1947
mystery. A documentary came out of the project called \"The Roswell Crash: Startling
New Evidence,\" which was hosted by Bryant Gumbel. The film and others like it are
the subject of parody in \"The Top Secret UFO Project,\" filmmaker R. J. Thomas\' spoof
of UFO documentaries.

\"The Roswell legend will never die,\" Mr. Thomas said. \"People will keep digging and
researching and studying it forever.\"

As the legend goes, in July of 1947, a rancher named William \"Mack\" Brazel
discovered a large amount of unusual debris scattered across his property, a ranch
about 75 miles northwest of Roswell. Neighbors told Brazel they had seen a
mysterious blue light around 3:00 a.m., and suggested he go to Roswell to report his
find.

In Mr. Thomas\' mockrumentary, a Colorado farmer wakes up in the middle of the night
to the sound of a loud crash. The next day he finds mysterious debris in one of his
fields that resemble shattered pieces of metal. Government officials come in and
remove the debris, quickly giving the public a routine explanation, lest anyone
think the pieces were remnants of a crashed flying saucer.

Based on Thomas\' 2004 novella of the same name, \"The Top Secret UFO Project\"
chronicles the UFO-related events experienced by a tiny Colorado hamlet called
Jasper. According to the film, the town dealt with one unusual event after another
in the summer of 1956. After a farmer saw a spaceship fly over his property,
scientists rushed into Jasper to investigate, reporters rushed in looking for
stories, and government officials rushed in to keep it a secret from the world.

Billed as \"the movie the government does not want you to see,\" \"The Top Secret UFO
Project,\" is a parody of UFO documentaries, from the upscale films like \"The Roswell
Crash: Startling New Evidence,\" to the cheesy docs of the 1970s like \"Overlords of
the UFO.\"

Mr. Thomas plays a documentary filmmaker who, in 2003, discovered (by accident) some
top secret government films pertaining to the Jasper Incident of 1956. This
inspired him to make a documentary about Jasper\'s UFO story, and to discover the
truth behind what really happened that mysterious summer in Colorado.

\"The Sci-Fi Channel documentary is a class act,\" Mr. Thomas said. \"Mine is closer
to the 1970s Sunn Classics pictures. The ones that would come to the neighborhood
theater backed by lots of TV ads to proclaim that the film had some sensational new
discovery. They\'d also say that the picture would run for one week only, so you\'d
better hurry on down and see it.\"
