Robert Spencer Carr (March 26, 1909 – April 28, 1994) was an

fantasy. He sold his first story to Weird Tales at age 15. At age 17 his novel, The Rampant Age, became a success resulting in a movie contract.[1]

Alien autopsy claims

In January 1974, papers relayed a story attributed to Carr

Aztec, New Mexico UFO hoax which alleged that 12 alien bodies, "three to four feet tall; white skinned; light haired; blue eyed", had been recovered and autopsied.[3] After Carr publicly claimed Sen. Barry Goldwater had demanded and been denied access, Goldwater reportedly told press of an incident where he had denied access to a military facility, but knew nothing about "12 little men".[4] A Wright-Patterson spokesperson denied the claim, adding that there was no "Hangar 18" on the base.[5] They noted similarities between Carr's tale and the 1969 novel The Fortec Conspiracy.[6]

Carr's son later wrote his father "never went to college or got any kind of advanced degree - yet he is called 'Professor Carr' throughout the UFO literature. In many of his papers, he called himself 'Dr. Carr'".[7] Carr claimed to have knowledge of an autopsy of an alien from space on a US military base.
