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.

the one who told me she heard there was a plane crash and the nurses went down on a training mission."82
The testimony appeared to clearly identify by name, rank, position, physical attributes and by a distinctive nickname, "Slatts," another nurse present at the hospital in July 1947. But a review of the morning reports of the Roswell AAF hospital for July 1947 did not contain the name of a nurse, or anyone else, named Wilson. $ ^{83} $ The only female captain assigned to the Roswell AAF Hospital in July 1947 was the Chief Nurse Capt. Joyce Goddard. $ ^{84} $ Goddard, who was 5'6" tall, was transferred from Roswell AAF to Korea on August 21, 1947. $ ^{85} $
Therefore, according to Dennis' recollection of events, this review of the morning reports indicated that there were two missing nurses, not one— "Lieutenant Naomi Selff" and "Captain 'Slatts' Wilson." Further scrutiny of personnel records of individuals assigned to the Roswell AAF/Walker AFB hospital indicated that Dennis'recollections of events were apparently inaccurate.
Examination of the August 1947 morning reports did not list a nurse named Wilson, but they did list a nurse named Slattery. $ ^{86} $ Captain Lucille C. Slattery, who retired as a Lieutenant Colonel and is now deceased, was reassigned from Ft. George Wright, Wash. to Roswell AAF on August 7, 1947. $ ^{87} $
Fig. 6. Lt. Col. Lucille C. Slattery, the only Air Force nurse ever known as "Slatts," served as a captain at the Roswell AAF/Walker AFB hospital from August 1947 to September 1950. Records indicate that Slattery did not arrive at Roswell AAF until one month after the "Roswell Incident," in direct contradiction to statements made by the sole witness to this account.
