Glenn Dennis was a Roswell-area mortician whose testimony, beginning in the late 1980s, describing alleged military requests for small, hermetically sealable caskets and an account of an injured nurse who described autopsies on non-human bodies became a significant source for later “alien bodies” claims connected to the Roswell incident.
Assessment
Extensive subsequent research, including the Air Force’s own 1997 Case Closed report, found no record of the nurse Dennis described ever having existed at the base, and researchers across the ideological spectrum, including Karl Pflock, have identified significant inconsistencies in his account, making it one of the most disputed individual testimonies in Roswell literature.
