Clouthier’s confirmation that Nordstrom was the first pediatrician to
practice in the Farmington area, was based on both his frequent
professional contacts with local physicians and his experiences as a
longtime Farmington resident.h4
Although Nordstrom believed that he was the pediatrician
described, he was at a loss to explain how Dennis gained information
concerning his military and civilian employment history. In a signed sworn
statement, Nordstrom stated that he did not recall ever meeting Dennis and
had certainly never been visited by Dennis as he has claimed. One possible
source of the information is that from approximately 1958 until approximately
1961 Dennis operated a drugstore in Aztec, N.M., a small town near
Farmington where Nordstrom resides (interestingly Aztec is the location of the
original “crashed flying saucer” story, see below). However, Nordstrom also
did not recall any contact with Dennis in his capacity as a drugstore operator.

The “Roswell Incident” story is hardly original. In 1948, a work of
fiction reportedly appeased in the Aztec (N.M.) Independent Review describing

Scully, a columnist for the theatrical publication Variety, published a book,
Behind the Flying Saucers, which proclaimed the story to be true?s Based on
