- In 1938, while working an excavation at Moundville Archaeological Park, Civilian Conservation Corp cadet John Patton Jr. found the key to our darkest secret - an anomalous skeleton neither animal nor man. Uncertain of its implications, Patton concealed the secret for decades - until revealing it to the world in a sensational tell-all novel that made him notorious across the globe. Claiming the skeleton was proof of not only the existence of extraterrestrials, but also of their involvement in the genesis of the human race, the novel would ultimately destroy his accomplished anthropology career-and leave him shunned at home. Nearly thirty years later, his grandson Gardner, an anthropology student at the University of Alabama, is forced to come to terms with his grandfather's past, a man he never knew but in whose footsteps he inevitably follows. When his cousin, controversial documentary filmmaker Bart Thompson, arrives at Moundville for a seemingly routine shoot, Gardner is eager to help. He soon learns, however, that Bart isn't back just to shoot a movie - he wants to find the skeleton their grandfather buried nearly seventy years before, and prove once and for all what he claimed was true.
- Mocumentary posing as chapter 3 of an indie doc about the life of the controversial John Patton Jr, a character in the feature film "A Genesis Found." A noted archaeologist at the University of Alabama in the 1950's and 60's, John Patton Jr. became a notorious regional figure with his claim in 1973 that the famous Native American "Moundville" site in Central Alabama, America's first "metropolis", was connected to extraterrestrials. His theories have never been proven nor disproved. "Chapter 3 - Where the Truth Lies" details Patton's career, and speculates on whether or not he found what he claimed to have in his infamous 1973 book "Buried in the Mounds."
