The âinscription or something,â213 the so called âhieroglyphics,â were a probable reference to the lettering painted on the equipment support rack above the panels. The lettering on the rack would be visible, but probably not readable, to an observer that quickly walked past the ambulance. Other wreckage âall over the floorâ that was âlike broken glass,â214 was a probable reference to the clear plastic 30-foot polyethylene balloon that was recovered following the balloon training mission and placed in the back of the converted ambulance or the weapons carrier for later disposal.
Dennis also recalled that he parked the vehicle he was driving near three field ambulances and then walked up the ramp into the hospital.215 The description of ambulances near a ârampâ is consistent with the recollections of the Balloon Branch Communication Technician who drove the converted ambulance to the Walker AFB hospital following the balloon accident. While waiting for the injured pilots, A2C Ole Jorgeson, now a retired Master Sergeant, recalled in a recent interview that he parked the converted ambulance near a ramp at the hospital.216 A review of Walker AFB hospital records revealed that there was only one ramp. The ramp was attached to the hospital dispensary, Walker AFB Bldg. 317.217 The other ambulances described by the witness were either the other ambulance from Holloman

AFB that provided medical support of the balloon flight or the two âstandbyâ ambulances, that in May 1959, were routinely positioned adjacent to the ramp behind the dispensary at Walker AFB.218
Fig. 23. âIt was all sharp⦠like broken glass,â a witnessâ description of debris in the rear of an ambulance at Walker AFB. The debris described was most probably the remnants of the polyethylene balloon, similar to the one in this photo, recovered by Balloon Branch personnel following the mishap in May 1959.
