Documents / Report
The Roswell Report: Case Closed was published by Headquarters United States Air Force and written by Captain James McAndrew, with a foreword by Secretary of the Air Force Sheila E. Widnall. It follows the 1994 Air Force report, which tied the 1947 debris to Project MOGUL balloons. This volume concludes that the reported alien bodies were most likely anthropomorphic dummies dropped from high altitude balloons. It attributes the hospital body claims to a 1956 KC-97 crash and a 1959 manned balloon mishap.

was sticking out of the ground...about like that (DS: about a 30 degree angle?) Yeah...and I'm sure that was bodies...either bodies or dummies... DS: Why do you say dummies?" JR: The federal government could have been doing something because they didn't want anyone to know what this was...they was using dummies in those damned things...they could use remote control. DS: So you thought that it could have been an experimental craft? JR: After I came to down showed Frank Willis and his son (he's dead)...the Blue Moon beer joint over on the old Dexter highway. We was there until two o'clock in the morning...I had the jeep behind my car. DS: Did you still have the scrap in the jeep? JR: Yeah. I showed it to him. He said I would just keep my mouth shut...he said hell there is no telling where that come from. DS: So you didn't think it was from outer space? JR: No. We didn't even think about outer space back then... DS: When was the first time that you thought that maybe this was something more? JR: It was about three weeks...it came out that a spaceship had crashed at Roswell...about three weeks. But it could have been out longer than that there but see I worked in Carlsbad... DS: But you first saw there had been a newspaper article about three weeks after... JR: Oh hell it was two or three weeks before I caught up on it...a spaceship...what I hear is they guarded that place for a long time out there...because me and another fellow went out there and you couldn't get...they had the roads sealed off...it was a month or so after... DS: And they still had it cordoned off. JR: The MPs and stuff were still on the road. They wouldn't let nobody go out there... DS: If a person were to drive out there today...going north out of town...are we talking 285? JR: No. Highway 48. You go out 48. You go out here to the truck
