Alfred O'Donnell

1950-01-01year known, day not recorded

EG&G engineer who worked on nuclear-test firing systems and was Annie Jacobson's key anonymous source for the contested Roswell claim in her 2011 book. Per TD Barnes, O'Donnell later said he invented the lurid Soviet-Mengele mutilated-children craft story to give Jacobson something juicy. The claim is disputed and uncorroborated.
