MEDIA ACQUISITION OPPORTUNITY: Massive TV UFO Archive; Worldwide Broadcast Rights & Master Tapes Going to Auction
Complete UFO Library for Producers: Features 39 Hours of Lost Interview Footage, A Never-Produced "Bob Lazar" Screenplay, and the Banned 1947 Roswell Yearbook
As the UFO/UAP phenomenon ramps up, as witnessed in the global recent hit, "The Age of Disclosure," this liquidation event offers television production companies a unique chance to secure a "production-ready" library of commercial assets and worldwide broadcast rights, bypassing the need for expensive third-party clearances.
Compiled during the "Golden Age" of UFO investigation (1992–2004), this vault provides a foundational stock footage library for future projects. The successful bidder will acquire:
• Broadcast-Ready Master Tapes (39 Hours): Pristine, never-aired interview footage featuring the most significant figures in ufology, essential for high-quality UAP documentaries.
• Unproduced IP – "The Bob Lazar Story": An exclusive, never-seen feature film screenplay chronicling the life of Area 51 whistleblower Bob Lazar—a prime asset for a motion picture or TV production company.
• The Wendelle Stevens Photo Archive: A rare cache of 150+ original photographs from the private archives of Lt. Col. Wendelle Stevens. The majority of these images have never been released publicly, offering exclusive visual evidence for new productions.
• Declassified Documents, Hundreds of Books and Magazines for B-Roll purposes: A vast physical vault containing over 500 declassified government files (referencing Majestic 12, CIA, and Project Aquarius) alongside hundreds of vintage periodicals like Fate Magazine and UFO Report, perfect for establishing historical context and B-roll sequences.
• Worldwide Broadcast Rights: The lot conveys full worldwide licensing rights to the video content, supplying enough primary material to fuel a multi-part limited series or several television documentaries (programmes) for global distribution.
Featured Talent: Icons of the Paranormal
The archive contains intimate, long-form sessions that have never been broadcast, ideal for streaming originals looking for unseen content.
Key Figures Include:
• Bob Lazar: Rare, extended sessions with the man who exposed Area-51, S-4 facility and element 115.
• Gordon Cooper: The original Mercury Seven astronaut discussing his own UFO sightings and extraterrestrial encounters.
• Stanton Friedman: The nuclear physicist credited as the "Father of Roswell" and crash retrieval investigations.
• Linda Moulton Howe: The Emmy-winning journalist famous for her work on the paranormal and animal mutilations.
• Dr. David Jacobs & Budd Hopkins: The leading authorities on alien abduction and missing time phenomena.
Additional UFO researcher Interviews:
The library features a roster of researchers including Michael Lindemann, Paul Davids, Jim Dilettoso, Stephen Bassett (Disclosure), Clyde Lewis, Dr. Roger Leir (Implants), James Gilliland (ECETI), A.J. Gevaerd, John Greenewald Jr., Peter Gersten, Jordan Maxwell, Anna Hayes, Jaime Maussan, Wendelle Stevens, and Richard Hoagland.
The "Smoking Gun": The 1947 Roswell Yearbook
For producers seeking a narrative anchor, the collection features a legendary artifact: the 1947 Roswell Army Air Force Base Yearbook.
• The Rarity: Often called the "Holy Grail of Ufology," this is widely considered the sole surviving copy in private ownership.
• The Backstory: Reportedly saved by a base officer during a military purge after the 1947 Roswell crash, this book was hidden for decades to prevent the press from identifying military witnesses.
• Production Potential: It acts as a "Rosetta Stone" for investigators, providing a list of potential witnesses and their descendants for a true-mystery series.
"An amazing opportunity for TV production companies and documentarians"
Jeff Schwarz, the renowned star of The Liquidator and owner of Direct Auctions, notes that the response has been unlike anything in his career. "I have managed liquidations for major film sets and massive estates for 40 years, but we have been inundated with inquiries for this collection," Schwarz explains. "We are fielding calls from documentary filmmakers and UFO historians from every corner of the globe. This is shaping up to be the most hotly contested auction I have ever hosted."
Chris Wyatt, who served as Hollywood’s primary UFO producer in the 1990's and early 2000's, describes the archive as an essential resource for serious storytellers. "This is perhaps the largest UFO television library to go to auction; it is the raw DNA of the UFO phenomenon," Wyatt states. "For a production company, this is a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity. You're acquiring the unvarnished truth from the people who lived it, several who have passed, on broadcast-quality masters. It is time to pass this torch to the next generation of paranormal TV producers."
