Editing Alien Interview (section)

=== Involvement in the Roswell incident ===
MacElroy was allegedly stationed at the [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Roswell_Army_Air_Field Roswell Army Air Field]] in 1947, shortly after the crash of an unidentified flying object. The book claims that she was one of the first military personnel to interact with a surviving extraterrestrial being, whose name became telepathically apparent to her and which she articulated in the transcripts as "Airl." MacElroy is depicted as having facilitated the exchange between the alien and the U.S. military, acting as a translator and recounting the alien's words to a stenographer for later dissemination. According to Spencer, MacElroy's personal accounts of her time working with the U.S. military during the Roswell incident and her subsequent interviews with the alien were passed to him before her death{{sfn|Spencer|2008}}.
