Unidentified flying objects -- Sightings and encounters -- New Mexico -- Roswell
Since actual Air Force members who served at Roswell AAF/Walker AFB
hospital were described in this account, the next step was to determine
if actual events that occurred at the hospital were possibly the source
of this story. As stated earlier in this report, a thorough examination
of both classified and unclassified records from 1947 revealed no Army
Air Forces or U.S. Air Force activities that explained the alleged
events. Therefore records were reviewed from other time periods, based
on personnel records of individuals believed to have been identified.
These persons and the periods when they were assigned to Roswell
AAF/Walker AFB are listed in Table 2.1.

the “missing” nurse 1st Lt. Eileen M. Fanton Dec. 1946-Sept. 1947
“Capt. ‘Slatts’ Wilson” Capt. Lucille C. Slattery Aug. 1947-Sept. 1950

The Research Profile
With the establishment of a possible time frame, research efforts
paralleled the previous examination in Section One of this report that
determined high altitude balloons with anthropomorphic dummy payloads
were responsible for the reports of aliens at the two rural New Mexico
“crashed saucer” locations. A further review of Air Force activities
was then made to determine if any were significantly similar to the
information provided. Based on the time period established by personnel
records and statements contained in the witness’ own account, the
following profile of possible events was established:
An event involving the Walker AFB hospital that took place between 1947
and 1960;
=a.= that may have resulted in “very mangled,” “black,” “little
bodies,” that had a strong “odor” being placed in “body bags”;
=b.= that may have resulted in two persons not normally assigned to
the hospital, believed to be doctors, that were “supposedly doing
preliminary autopsies” on the “little bodies”;
=c.= that may have involved a body with a head that was much larger
than normal which was transported to Wright-Patterson AFB, Ohio;
=d.= that may have involved a redheaded captain or a big redheaded
colonel;
=e.= that may have resulted in an ambulance parked in the rear
of the hospital containing wreckage with inscriptions, that were
bluish-purplish which looked kind of like the bottom of a canoe;
