Los Alamos nurse claim — A retired nurse says bodies were flown into Los Alamos after the war.
According to an account in Leonard Stringfield's later reports, a retired nurse said that after the Second World War, bodies of non-human beings were flown into Los Alamos, the New Mexico laboratory where the atomic bomb was developed. She reportedly described the bodies or their handling.
The story is unverified: the nurse wasn't named, and no records support it. Los Alamos was a top-secret site in the late 1940s, which makes it a natural setting for such stories, and the Roswell crash is often said to have involved scientists from Los Alamos and nearby Sandia.
The account is part of Stringfield's extensive collection of anonymous testimony, published as he received it.
In the testimony
The testimony cites: Retrievals of the Third Kind presented at MUFON 1978, Leon Stringfield, p314.
