Unidentified flying objects -- Sightings and encounters -- New Mexico -- Roswell
Q: That was the one that was marked deceased?
A: Yes. It said return to sender, [addressee] deceased.
Q: Then what did you do?
A: (inaudible)
Q: You didn’t try to follow up or see if there was any possible...
A: No. I asked (inaudible), at the time we called her Slatts Wilson,
a big tall nurse, 6′2″, 6′3″, big tall skinny girl. We called her
Slatts. Everybody called her Slatts. She’s the one that told me she’d
heard that there was a plane crash and she was the nurse that went down
on a training mission. She said that’s strictly rumor, I don’t know
anything about it. That’s what I...
Q: No one’s been able to turn that one up at all.
A: I guess maybe I should never even mention this. I know no one
believes this damn story. Nobody believes this story.
Q: I don’t know if that’s true.
A: Anyway, it was a hell of a story. I told (inaudible). I said I told
the woman, I don’t want to give you her name, because I told the lady
I’d give a sacred oath and I didn’t want to get involved. Well, it’s
been 45 years, almost 40 years, and I haven’t heard anything. He said
I will do it confidentially and nobody else will have this name. Well,
that’s where he broke his promise after that. I got all over him about
it. I called him and I was madder than hell. He said well, Bob Shirkey
was the one that told everybody, that he was sitting in the back of
us. Bob brought Stan [Friedman] up there when he interviewed me. He
said, Bob Shirkey was the one that let out her name. To this day, Stan
Friedman (inaudible) still says he did not put her name out. I’ve been
on several shows, not several, but two or three interviews, and I’m not
going to mention her name. If somebody says is this her name? I’m not
going to say it is or it isn’t. I told Stan ... I was madder than hell
about it, because I did give my word.
Q: There’s another side to that, too, from the standpoint of those
who are trying to get some answers. By not having her name around,
it makes it easier to cross-check the stories that you get from
people. You have... It’s a question of honor, and that’s very sound. I
applaud you for that. There’s not too many people around these days
that are concerned about that kind of thing. And it’s also, from an
investigator’s point of view, an advantage, too.
A: I’ve never read this stuff, I’ve never watched the videos, I’ve
never read any books, I haven’t even read Stan’s books, I haven’t even
read [Kevin] Randle’s only what they say about me. Friedman is a lot
more accurate, but see...
Q: You mean about...
A: About me. I’ve read that. That’s the only thing I’ve read. I’m
not a UFO guy. I’ve got another life besides UFOs. But anyway, Stan
Friedman’s story is pretty well right. But Randle and them was always
said I got curious. I didn’t get curious. I went out there on a call,
just like I told you.
Q: The section of their book that refers to you is really kind of
cryptic, anyway.
