Astronaut Glenn is a character in the 1965 Godzilla film Invasion of Astro-Monster

Invasion of the Astro-Monster
Glenn was an astronaut for the World Space Authority flying to the recently discovered Planet X with his colleague Astronaut Fuji. When the two arrive on Planet X, Fuji leaves the cam to plant the flags they had brought while Glenn remained with the ship. Before Fuji returned, Glenn was taken into an underground Xilien city and was forced to wait there in the dark until Fuji arrived, at which time they were introduced to theController of Planet X. The controller told them of the reason they could not live on the surface, King Ghidorah, and asks if the humans would give them Godzilla and Rodan to combat Ghidorah in exchange for a "miracle drug" to cure all diseases. They return to earth, and tell the World Space Authority of the Xiliens' offer. While on earth, Glenn meets and becomes romantically involved with a woman known as Miss Namikawa. They eventually find themselves at a small lakeside house, and during the night Glenn sees the controller in their room, causing Glenn to become suspicious of the Xiliens. Glenn informs Fuji of this encounter and the two approach Lake Miyojin, and wait to see if the Aliens had told the truth and Godzilla really did reside in it. When the Xiliens reveal that they have told the truth, it is decided that Glenn, Fuji, and the leader of the World Space Authority should be taken to Planet X to obtain the formula for the promised medicine. While on Planet X, Glenn discovers two Xiliens women who look exactly like Miss Namikawa. The three humans are then transported back to earth in a replica of their original spacecraft. When the Xilien tape is played, it is revealed to be the Xiliens' declaration of dominance over earth. Glenn then returns to Namikawa and tells her that he knows that she is Xilien, a discovery that leads to her being put to death by other Xiliens. Glenn is then brought to a prison cell below the lake house that is the Xilien earth base. Glenn and his cellmate Tetsuo Teri discover a sound that immobilizes the Aliens, which leads to their escape. Glenn and Teri give their sound to the military and they use it to destroy the Xiliens. It is then decided that Glenn should become the ambassador for Planet X.
