The Hollman Landing Film
In many interviews over the years I have talked about how there may have been 8 seconds of the actual Holloman Landing in May 1971 inserted into the 1975 documentary UFOs, Past, Present, and Future.
When I asked Emenegger about this he said "It didn't show anything."
When I asked him what that meant he said it did not show the object up close or the entities leaving the craft. Emenegger never said how it got in the film or if it was definitely original footage.
The only thing that did not match is that according to Emenegger there were three objects, two broke away and the one landed. Yes that is the plot of Close Encounters of the Third Kind that was released two years later, where everyone is waiting for the craft, it lands, beings come out, and there is an exchange. Emenegger had provided Spielberg a copy of the documentary who Annie Spiel who worked for Emenegger.
The other night I was on Holly Wood's X-Space as a guest and the question was put to me if I had seen the debunk on the eight seconds, showing the object to definitely be an F-4, and what did I think.
I had not seen it and it was not really applicable as Emenegger and Sandler did not have the entire film along with aliens, as confirmed in 1988 by Paul Shartle the Security Manager at DAVA where all the military film was kept at Norton.
After the broadcast I went to find the debunk video. I was immediately suspect when the narrator stated he had purchased a 2007 DVD HI-DEF version of the documentary. I knew Ememnegger well in 2007 and he never mentioned a new release.
The whole investigation took about 5 minutes
The narrator says that he took the film and advanced to the 8 second landing frames. "What was it that was descending from the skies," he says. "What was coming into land at Holloman? Well I am happy to say that I can answer that question..."
As this narration played this shot of the "supposed" Holloman UFO was on the screen.
