Unidentified flying objects -- Sightings and encounters -- New Mexico -- Roswell
Angry about being called an SOB, Dennis informed the redheaded officer
that he was a civilian, not under his authority, and that he, the
redheaded officer, “can’t do a damn thing to me.”[18] The redheaded
officer was alleged to have threatened Dennis by responding “Oh yes we
can”.... “Somebody will be picking your bones out of the sand”.... “We
can do anything to you ... that we want to.”[19] A black sergeant, whom
Dennis recalled had accompanied the redheaded officer, allegedly stated
he would “make real good dog food.”[20] Following this exchange, Dennis
claimed he was “picked up ... arm and arm” and escorted back to his
place of business by two MPs.[21]
The following day, July 8, 1947, Dennis attempted to telephone the
nurse he had seen in the hall at the hospital to find out “what was
going on.”[22] He stated that he was unable to reach the nurse but did
reach another nurse, a “Captain Wilson,” who explained to him that the
nurse he was trying to contact was not on duty, but “Wilson” would give
her a message to call him.[23] The nurse called Dennis later that same
day at the funeral home where he worked and agreed to meet with him at
the officers’ club at Roswell AAF that afternoon.[24]
When the two met, the nurse appeared disturbed and ill.[25] Dennis
asked her to explain what was going on when they met in the hospital
the day before. The nurse explained that, in the course of her normal
duties, she entered an examining room to get some supplies and
encountered two doctors whom she did not recognize that “supposedly
were doing a preliminary autopsy” on “three,” “very mangled,” “black,”
“little bodies.”[26] The doctors requested the nurse remain in the
room because they needed her assistance.[27] She allegedly explained
that there was a terrible odor in the room that made both her and the
doctors ill.[28] Due to this terrible odor and inadequate ventilation,
the nurse allegedly told Dennis that the autopsies were moved to
another facility on the base and then “everything” was taken to “Wright
Field” (now Wright-Patterson AFB, Ohio).[29]
The nurse described the little bodies in detail and even provided a
diagram.[30] She described “little bodies” three to four feet in length
that had large, “flexible,” heads, and concave eyes and noses.[31]
After this meeting Dennis claimed he never saw the nurse again, and he
was told she had been shipped out the same afternoon (July 8, 1947)
or the next day (July 9, 1947).[32] However, some time later Dennis
received a letter from the nurse that indicated she was in London,
England.[33] Dennis stated that he tried to respond to the nurse, but
his letter was returned stamped “return to sender” and “deceased.”[34]
After receiving this letter, he inquired at the base about the nurse
and was told by “Captain Wilson” that she didn’t know where the nurse
was, but there was a rumor that she and several other nurses had been
killed in a plane crash while on a training mission.[35]
