22 "...I was the only women at the site..."
"Another story about the alien bodies and a vanishing nurse came from Pete and Ruben
Anaya, who said they picked up N.M. Lt. Governor Joseph Montoya outside the large base
hangar. Besides the hangar being heavily guarded by MPs, they said there was a base
nurse (or maybe two different nurses) who came outside the hangar and spoke briefly with
them. Ruben said she told him that the bodies were "not from this world" and then noticed
one of them moving. Ruben said he then went to take a look and also glimpsed two small
bodies from a distance under sheets inside the hangar and one of them moving. He
described the nurse he spoke to as blondish and heavyset. [Note: Of the five nurses that are
pictured in the base yearbook from around June/July 1947, none of them appear blondish or
heavyset, though.
In contrast, Pete Anaya said he knew the nurse he spoke to from the Officer's Club (his
brother Ruben worked there as a cook), had danced with her once the previous Halloween
at a party, said she resembled his wife Mary, and was a beautiful women with beautiful hair.
He wanted to go inside the hangar to see what was going on, and she told him he didn't
want to see anything. After that, he said he never saw her again.

Former Roswell police chief L.M. Hall remembered Dennis telling him only a few days after
the newspaper stories of the crashed flying saucer, about strange calls from the base for
child-size caskets "to ship or bury those aliens."
Another witness that recently came forth to corroborate parts of Dennis' story was S/Sgt.
Milton Sprouse, then a B-29 crew chief with the 830th Bomb Squadron. Sprouse said he
spoke to Dennis several years later while Dennis handled a funeral for a friend. Dennis told
him he had received a call from the base for five children's caskets for a crash that had
happened 2 or 3 days before. Thus it seems that Dennis' story of the child casket call is not
of recent origin but dates back to the original event itself.
Sprouse said the bodies were taken to a hangar heavily guarded by MPs with machine
guns. He also said he knew something about the autopsy initially described by Dennis. A
fellow staff sergeant in his barracks, who worked as an emergency room medic at the base
hospital, was called out there. When he came back he related that an autopsy on one or two
of the "humanoid bodies" had been carried out by two doctors and two nurses. His friend
said he had seen the bodies. Similar to Dennis' nurse, the sergeant was transferred the
following day and nobody ever found out what became of him.
Sprouse also heard that the doctors and nurses involved with the autopsy were also
transferred and nobody found out what became of them either. Five members of his ground
crew were also sent to the ranch to help clean up the debris field. They told him the material
was "out of this world," including foil that when crumpled returned to its original shape."

23 "...prehensile..."
"The word is derived from the Latin term prehendere, meaning "to grasp." It is the quality of
an organ that has adapted for grasping or holding. Examples of prehensile body parts
include the tails of New World monkeys and opossums, the trunks of elephants, the tongues
of giraffes, the lips of horses and the proboscides of tapir. The hands of primates are all
prehensile to varying degrees, and many species (even a few humans) have prehensile feet
as well. The claws of cats are also prehensile. Many extant lizards have prehensile tails
(geckos, chameleons, and a species of skink). The fossil record shows prehensile tails in
lizards (Simiosauria) going back many million years to the Triassic period .
Prehensility is an evolutionary adaptation that has afforded species a great natural
advantage in manipulating their environment for feeding, digging, and defense. It enables
many animals, such as primates, to use tools in order to complete tasks that would
otherwise be impossible without highly specialized anatomy. For example, chimpanzees
have the ability to use sticks to fish for termites and grubs. However, not all prehensile
organs are applied to tool use- the giraffe tongue, for instance, is instead used in feeding
and self-cleaning behaviors."

24 "... able to detect waves or particles beyond the visual spectrum of light."
The visible spectrum (or sometimes called the optical spectrum) is the portion of the
electromagnetic spectrum that is visible to (can be detected by) the human eye.
Electromagnetic radiation in this range of wavelengths is called visible light or simply light.
A typical human eye will respond to wavelengths in air from about 380 to 750 nm. The
corresponding wavelengths in water and other media are reduced by a factor equal to the
refractive index. In terms of frequency, this corresponds to a band in the vicinity of 400-790
terahertz. A light-adapted eye generally has its maximum sensitivity at around 555 nm (540
THz), in the green region of the optical spectrum. The spectrum does not, however, contain
all the corlors that the human eyes and brain can distinguish. Brown, pink, and magenta are
absent, for example, because they need a mix of multiple wavelengths, preferably shades of
red.
Wavelengths visible to the eye also pass through the "optical window", the region of the
electromagnetic spectrum which passes largely unattenuated through the Earth's
atmosphere (although blue light is scattered more than red light, which is the reason the sky
is blue). The response of the human eye is defined by subjective testing, but the
atmospheric windows are defined by physical measurement. The "visible window" is so
called because it overlaps the human visible response spectrum; the near infrared windows
lie just out of human response window, and the Medium Wavelength and Long Wavelength
or Far Infrared are far beyond the human response region.
The eyes of many species perceive wavelengths different from the spectrum visible to the
human eye. For example, many insects, such as bees, can see light in the ultraviolet, which
is useful for finding nectar in flowers. For this reason, plant species whose life cycles are
linked to insect pollination may owe their reproductive success to their appearance in
ultraviolet light, rather than how colorful they appear to our eyes."

25 "... this may have included the full range of the electromagnetic spectrum..."
"The electromagnetic spectrum is the range of all possible electromagnetic radiation. The
"electromagnetic spectrum" (usually just spectrum) of an object is the characteristic
distribution of electromagnetic radiation from that object.
The electromagnetic spectrum extends from below the frequencies used for modern radio (at
the long-wavelength end) through gamma radiation (at the short-wavelength end), covering
wavelengths from thousands of kilometres down to a fraction the size of an atom. It's thought
that the short wavelength limit is the vicinity of the Planck length, and the long wavelength
limit is the size of the universe itself, although in principle the spectrum is infinite and
continuous."
