The Roswell Report: Case Closed was published by Headquarters United States Air Force and written by Capt. James McAndrew. It follows up the July 1994 report, which traced the 1947 debris to Project MOGUL balloon trains. The report says the reported alien bodies were probably anthropomorphic test dummies dropped from high altitude balloons. It also says the accounts of bodies at the Roswell Army Air Field hospital probably merged two separate events: 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.“8’ The testimony appeared to clearly identify by name, rank, position, physical attributesand 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 Wilsonx3 The only female captain assignedto the Roswell AAF Hospital in July 1947 was the Chief Nurse Capt. Joyce Goddard.“” Goddard, who was 5’6” tall, was transferredfi-om Roswell AAF to Korea on August 21, 1947.8’ 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 eventswere apparently inaccurate. Examination of the August 1947 morning reports did not list a nurse named Wilson, but they did list a nurse named Slattery.86Captain Lucille C. Slattery, who retired as a Lieutenant Colonel and is now deceased, was reassignedfrom Ft. George Wright, Wash. to Roswell AAF on August 7, 1947.“’ Fig. 6. Lt. Cal. Lucille C. Slattery, the only Air Force nurse ever known as Watts,” served as a captain at the Rowe11 AAF/Walker AFB hospital from August 1947 to September 1950. Records indicate that Slattery did not arrive at Roswell AAF until one month afm- the “Rowe,, Incident” in direct contradi&n to statements made by the sole witness to this account.
