Sibrel claims it was based on one of his productions, from a tape he originally sent to Fox.
Any truth to that AFAYK?
I have no specific evidence either way. But since the Fox program doesn't follow any of Sibrel's major points (e.g., the "secret" footage) I have a hard time believing that Sibrel was the source. It looks more like Nast based his program on Kaysing's work.
There's more infighting among the major conspiracy authors than the average reader knows. I talk to people who try to arrange interviews with them for mass media, and their stories about dealing with them are sometimes quite educational. It's entertaining to hear about who won't appear with whom, and who accuses whom privately of having stolen his material. I bring this up because it wouldn't surprise me in the least if Sibrel had absolutely nothing to do with the Fox program and is trying to grab credit for it.
Fox has all but disowned it. When Fox took over distributing Mark Gray's excellent DVD sets, he told me they felt it was in partial atonement for having aired the conspiracy program. Apparently what they felt would be the next Alien Autopsy phenomenon turned into a major black eye.
