The Roswell Report: Case Closed is a 1997 Headquarters United States Air Force report by Captain James McAndrew that follows up the 1994 Air Force report on the Roswell Incident. It concludes that the 1947 debris came from Project MOGUL balloons. It also says the reported alien bodies were probably anthropomorphic dummies dropped from high altitude balloons. Claims of bodies at the Roswell hospital most likely combined a 1956 KC-97 crash and a 1959 manned balloon mishap.

Q: Just inside? A: Just kind of standing like in between the door of this room up there. I was going down the hall. I said, "Sir, it looks like we had a plane crash. Do I need to go in and get ready for it?" Q: This was an officer? A: Yeah, he was a captain. I remember the bars on his [inaudible]. He said, "Who are you?" I told him I was from the funeral home, and he said, "Wait right there, don't move." Then he came back, that's when the two MPs came up. When the nurse came out, we started down the hall and that's when somebody in the back of us said, "Bring that son of a bitch back." That's when the redheaded captain asked where the sergeant came in right there. Then they took me on out. As I was going down the hall, she came out of, like Bob said, out of this room, and there was two guys in back of her, and they all had towels over their face. She saw me and she said, "Glenn, what are you doing here? Get out of here, you're going to get in a lot of trouble. How did you get in here?" She said that two or three times. She was sick. Q: This is when you were talking to that first officer? A: Yeah. He just told the MPs to take me back to the funeral home. Q: He had just told them that, and then she appeared at that point? A: He told them to take me to the funeral home, and we started down the hall, back out the hall, and that's when she came out of another room with these other two guys. What happened, she told me the next day, they were all sick because those little bodies were in those sacks, and two of them were very mangled and the smell was horrible and one was whole and two of them were very badly mangled. Q: Did you get a whiff of that stuff yourself? A: No, evidently not. If I would have, I would have known what it was. I worked on a hell of a lot of stuff. Q: In that tape you talked about working on floaters and all that kind of stuff. A: You know. Q: I haven't had professional experience in it, but I've been involved in it. A: In New Mexico you've got this hot 100 degree stuff, and you've got bodies out there two or three days, and (inaudible). Q: This read headed guy, what was his rank, do you remember? A: I think he was a captain. It seemed to me like he had on some bars.
