U.F.O.S in the Archive
Video (7 Minutes)
August 2023
Cologne
An amateur conspiracy reporter follows a dubious rumor that the RJM holds unpublished Ufos in its archive. In his search for the UFOs, he gets lost in the depths of the underground archive and makes some strange acquaintances and unexpected discoveries.
The video leaks his until now unreleased recordings, and thus gives visitors the chance to form their own opinion about the hidden machinations of the museum. Is this a crank who believes in aliens and conspiracy theories? Or is it really true that the Rautenstrauch-Jost Museum preserves UFOs and keeps them from the public?
