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.

Table 2.1 Persons Described and Periods of Service at Roswell AAF/Walker AFB Witness Description Actual Individual Described Period of Service at Roswell AAF/Walker AFB the“missing”nurse 1stLt.EileenM.Fanton Dec.1946-Sept.1947 “Capt.‘Slatts’Wilson”(composite of two individuals) Capt.LucilleC.SlatteryandMaj.IdabelleM.Wilson Aug.1947-Sept.1950Feb.1956-May1960 “thepediatrician” Capt.FrankB.Nordstrom June1951-June1953 “bigredheadedcolonel” Col.LeeF.Ferrell Oct.1954-June1960 ## The Research Profile With the establishment of a possible time frame, research efforts paralleled the previous examination in Section One of this report that determined high altitude balloons with anthropomorphic dummy payloads were responsible for the reports of aliens at the two rural New Mexico "crashed saucer" locations. A further review of Air Force activities was then made to determine if any were significantly similar to the information provided. Based on the time period established by personnel records and statements contained in the witness' own account, the following profile of possible events was established: An event involving the Walker AFB hospital that took place between 1947 and 1960; a. that may have resulted in "very mangled," "black," "little bodies," that had a strong "odor" being placed in "body bags"; b. that may have resulted in two persons not normally assigned to the hospital, believed to be doctors, that were "supposedly doing preliminary autopsies" on the "little bodies"; c. that may have involved a body with a head that was much larger than normal which was transported to Wright-Patterson AFB, Ohio; d. that may have involved a redheaded captain or a big redheaded colonel; e. that may have resulted in an ambulance parked in the rear of the hospital containing wreckage with inscriptions, that were bluish-purplish which looked kind of like the bottom of a canoe; and, f. that may have required a heightened state of security.
