114 land. All of these places were far better equipped to handle highly sensitive scientific materials than was Roswell. Wit- nesses claimed that some of the military people who arrived first at San Agustin were from Alamogordo. The number of people involved in the recovery of wreckage and bodies, and the subsequent obliteration of clues to the crashes, was growing rapidly. Scores if not hundreds of men had been sent out from as many as four locations to the two crash sites to collect material, transport it, and guard against un- authorized intrusion and release of information. Once the ma- terial and bodies got back to the military facilities that had been hurriedly prepared to deal with this unprecedented chal- lenge, more people joined the inner circle, and the job of secu- rity became even more complex. The presence in New Mexico of very strange substances from the wreckage of the two crashes has been testified to by so many people that it is virtually proved. That the wreckage was "accompanied by the bodies of as many as eight small human- oid aliens is another matter. A few people have described, in limited but highly consistent detail, their awareness or even direct observation of miniature, out-of-proportion bodies at the crash sites and elsewhere. The evidence for them is increas- ingly impressive, but perhaps not yet completely convincing. However, like the acquisition of totally unfamiliar manufac- tured materials of striking physical characteristics, the con- firmed existence of obviously nonhuman bodies will, by itself, establish not only the reality of UFOs but also their extrater- restrial origin. It is for this reason that so much effort has gone into trying to pin down the specifics of the reported observa- tions, by Stanton Friedman and others. One of the most in- triguing examples of secondhand testimony about alien bodies comes from a man who did not personally see them, but be- cause of his unusual position was able to get close enough to realize that what was happening was very different from any- thing that had happened before. Glenn Dennis was a young professional mortician in Roswell in the summer of 1947 whose employer, the Ballard CRASH AT CORONA
