According to Pflock, of the 300-plus individuals reportedly interviewed for ''UFO Crash at Roswell'' (1991), only 23 could be "reasonably thought to have seen physical evidence, debris". Of these, only seven asserted anything suggestive of otherworldly origins for the debris.<ref>{{harvnb|Pflock|2001|pp=176β177}}</ref> {{external media|video1=[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vj9In3kaqf4&t=2487s Thomas DuBose interview] in ''Recollections of Roswell'' (1992)}} The book claimed that General [[Arthur Exon]] had been aware of debris and bodies, but Exon disputed his depiction.<ref>{{harvnb|Pflock|2001|p=36}}</ref> Glenn Dennis's claims of an alien autopsy and Grady Barnett's "alien body" accounts appeared in the book.<ref>{{cite news |date=October 27, 1991 |last=Thompson |first=Fritz |title=The Roswell Incident |work=[[Albuquerque Journal]] |url=https://www.newspapers.com/image/156680745/ |page=84 |via=Newspapers.com}}</ref><ref>{{harvnb|Pflock|2001|p=34}}</ref> However, the dates and locations of Barnett's account in ''The Roswell Incident'' were changed without explanation.
