Members of the public were invited to the yet-to-be-opened Postal Museum in the spooky Mount Pleasant sorting office for the event hosted by Audible, to launch X-Files: Cold Cases.
They were joined by former Ministry Of Defence UFO expert Nick Pope who has been described as a “real life Mulder”.
With Pope on hand to oversee, the autopsy was carried out in a similar way to if a real life invasion was to happen.
Other than a hoax alien autopsy video which was submitted to the Ministry of Defence in 1995, this could be the closest as we have come to performing an actual autopsy.
Pope said: “If we were to conduct an autopsy with The Flukeman from X-Files, I’d advise finding out all about its DNA, taking multiple samples to profile to help build an idea around what the Flukeman’s weaknesses are – so we can be prepared for any future attacks. One possible danger to bear in mind is the impact a possible alien autopsy would have and the threat of intergalactic war. Think of it this way – if a soldier from another country came to the UK and we chopped him apart his country wouldn’t be best pleased. Therefore if Aliens came to earth to find the soldier they sent down
to test the waters had been experimented on, it would create tensions
which could turn nasty.”
Pope researched and investigated UFOs, alien abductions, crop circles
and other strange phenomena to determine their defence significance for
the Ministry from 1991 to 1994.
Tasked with cracking a case from a never-before-released X-Files
archive, guests had to solve the mystery of the terrifying creature
Flukeman's escape.
Guided by excerpts from the gripping new audio drama, the immersive
experience brought to life Mulder and Scully's world as attendees used
their senses and intuition to progress through a series of rooms in the
unnerving post office tunnels.
