Unidentified flying objects -- Sightings and encounters -- New Mexico -- Roswell
Upon review of Maj. Wilson’s personnel file, it was learned that she
was 5′9″ tall and thin. Also, she served as the Head Nurse of the
surgical ward at the Walker AFB hospital.[93] Therefore, Wilson’s
physical attributes, tall and thin, and position as Head Nurse matched
Dennis’ recollections of “Captain Wilson.” When contacted by Air Force
researchers, Wilson stated she had no recollection of Dennis, of ever
having conversations with him, any of the events he described, or of
a nurse that was missing.[94] She also made it abundantly clear that
as an Air Force officer and medical professional she would not spread
a rumor of a plane crash, as Dennis alleged “Captain Wilson” did in
conversations with him.[95]
Results of Missing Nurse and Pediatrician Research
Examination of the missing nurse and the pediatrician stories, and
other facts established by research, provide a foundation for further
analysis to determine what actual event(s), if any, were responsible
for these claims. Based on information developed, it appears this
witness may be mistaken in some of his statements, especially regarding
the time frame of these events.
The following facts have been established:
=a.= The only physician who ever relocated to Farmington, N.M.,
following his military service at Roswell AAF/Walker AFB was the
former Chief of Pediatric Services at the Walker AFB hospital,
the former Capt. Frank B. Nordstrom. Further, he did not arrive
at Walker AFB until June 1951, four years _after_ the purported
Roswell Incident, has no recollection of Dennis, the statements
Dennis attributes to him, or of any actual events that explain his
account.
=b.= The only nurse ever assigned to the Roswell AAF hospital
(subsequently renamed Walker AFB) named Wilson, was Idabelle
Wilson. She served at the Walker AFB hospital from 1956 until 1960
and had no recollection of ever meeting or speaking with Dennis or
any of the activities he described.
=c.= Captain Lucille C. Slattery, the only Air Force nurse ever
known by the distinctive nickname “Slatts,” _was_ stationed at the
Roswell AAF hospital. However, she did not arrive until August 7,
1947. This was one month _after_ the Roswell Incident, making it
improbable that Dennis spoke with her in early July 1947.
=d.= There is no record that a nurse named Naomi Maria Selff, was
ever assigned to Roswell AAF, Walker AFB, or was ever a member of
the U.S. military.
=e.= All nurses assigned to the Roswell AAF hospital in July 1947,
have been accounted for, thereby eliminating any possibility that
there was ever a missing nurse.
