Alien autopsy (disambiguation)
.
An alien autopsy is the reported dissection or examination of an alleged extraterrestrial biological entity purportedly recovered from crash sites or other incidents. Despite the term "autopsy," most reported procedures aim to study alien anatomy and biology rather than determine cause of death; more precise terms include necropsy, dissection, and bioarchaeological analysis. For interactions with living beings in custody, see alien interview videos. For broader non-human biology, see Biology of non-human intelligent beings.
