The account
Howe made the film while director of special projects at KMGH-TV in Denver and has since promoted claims about mutilations, crop circles, abductions and government–alien collaboration through her Earthfiles site and channel.
The sceptical view
Joe Nickell called her a 'credulous journalist'; she was shown fabricated documents by Air Force sergeant Richard Doty, and her mutilation claims rest on ambiguous evidence from carcasses.
