* The [[Trope Maker]], of course, is the footage of the alleged [[Alien Autopsy]] that occurred after the fateful event in [[Roswell That Ends Well|Roswell, New Mexico]] which eventually became the [[FoxFOX]] Network's 1995 TV special ''Alien Autopsy: Fact Or Fiction''. The special gained a lot of media attention as well as a lot of criticism for not showing many of the autopsy's significant findings with a lot of the footage appearing extremely pixelated and/or with the examiner blocking the camera's view (or simply cutting away just as something interesting is happening). Over a decade later, the person who originally presented the footage admitted that video wasn't entirely authentic but a re-creation of ''another'' alien autopsy video that he claimed to have once seen with "a few frames" from that "original" video appearing in the one that was showcased in the TV special. As a result, most people tend take this admission as a sign that it was ''all'' a hoax.

** [[Playing with a Trope|Played With]] this one as well as made a [[Shout-Out]] to, and a [[Take That]] against, the [[Trope Maker]] in the episode "Jose Chung's 'From Outer Space'." According to [[Agent Scully]]'s [[Rashomon Style|interpretation of events]], an autopsy which she performed on an alien and allowed to be video taped became commercially released as "Dead Alien: Truth Or Humbug." Embarrassed by it, Scully complains that the video ignores several of her findings, chief among them being that the dead alien was revealed to be a [[Man in A Rubber Suit]].
