Last year independent UFO researchers Phil Mantle and Tim Matthews conducted an in-depth investigation into the possible UK origins of the so-called "Tent Footage" after Phil was contacted by an insider with intriguing information on making of the film.

It subsequently emerged that this was a very low-budget UK production undertaken by people associated with ARK Music Ltd. of Milton Keynes, an outfit owned by Andy Price-Watts and Keith Bateman.

Thanks to our efforts a full expose of this sorry affair appeared in today's "Mail on Sunday" (UK) newspaper. The two page article by journalist Nick Fielding included further details of the making of the film and information about Ray Santilli's relationship with ARK Music Ltd.

Once again we have been able to penetrate the web of lies surrounding an important UFO hoax.
