April 14, 2011 — YouTube user “ivan0135” uploaded the first of 4 videos titled “Disclosure leaked ufo alien case video confidential documents old footage.” Combined 1.9M+ views. ivan0135 has never revealed their identity, never monetized the footage, and has effectively disappeared since 2011. No film, TV show, video game, or marketing campaign has ever been connected to the material. THE FOOTAGE: Presents as leaked KGB archival material filmed between 1942 and 1969. Shows a grey-type alien entity dubbed “Skinny Bob” — large bald head, oversized black eyes with a translucent nictitating membrane, small slit mouth, thin skeletal frame, disproportionately long arms. Shown in four contexts: (1) Seated at a table in what appears to be a telepathic interview, (2) Full-body scan from head to toe in an upright position, (3) Resting in a liquid-filled pool described as a sleep state, (4) Walking on a lawn with other beings. Also shows: a crashed UFO, an alien autopsy. THE NARRATIVE (per accompanying text): ETI from the Zeta Reticuli star system. Diplomatic envoy sent to discuss “matters of mutual concern.” Only permitted to meet high-ranking officials, escorted by special officers. Treaty 23/04 stipulated no filming without permission. 1961 incident: Three beings noticed a hidden camera — considered a treaty violation — led to treaty amendments. WHAT WAS DEBUNKED: skinnybob.info analysis confirmed ivan0135 added post-processing effects: a film damage overlay (exact stock clip tracked down), Sapphire Plug-ins for After Effects identified. The KGB logo was taken from the 1998 commercial documentary “The Secret KGB UFO Files.” WHAT WAS NOT DEBUNKED: The underlying footage beneath those overlays has never been proven fake. No CGI pipeline, animation rig, or animatronic has ever been identified. The entity’s vestibulo-ocular reflex (eye movement in response to head motion) is cited by supporters as too sophisticated for 2011 CGI at any reasonable budget. VERDICT (skinnybob.info): “After extensive investigation: if it is fake, it is certainly not ‘obviously.'”
