The Roswell Report: Case Closed

The Black Vault · 246 pages · text from the file's own layer

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.

some of his statements, especially regarding the time frame of these events.
The following facts have been established:
a. The only physician who ever relocated to Farmington, N.M.,
following his military service at Roswell AAF/Walker AFB was
the former Chief of Pediatric Services at the Walker AFB hospital,
the former Capt. Frank B. Nordstrom. Further, he did not arrive
at Walker AFB until June I95 1, four years afterthe purported
Roswell Incident, has no recollection of Dennis, the statements
Dennis attributes to him, or of any actual events that explain his
account.
b. The only nurse ever assigned to the Roswell AAF hospital
(subsequently renamed Walker AFB) named Wilson, was Idabelle
Wilson. She served at the Walker AFB hospital from 1956 until
1960 and had no recollection of ever meeting or speaking with
Dennis or any of the activities he described.
c. Captain Lucille C. Slattery, the only Air Force nurse ever
known by the distinctive nickname “Slatts,” was stationed at the
Roswell AAF hospital. However, she did not arrive until August 7,
1947. This was one month affterthe Roswell Incident, making it
improbable that Dennis spoke with her in early July 1947.
d. There is no record that a nurse named Naomi Maria Selff, was
ever assigned to Roswell AAF, Walker AFB, or was ever a member
of the US. military.
e. All nurses assigned to the Roswell AAF hospital in July 1947,
have been accounted for, thereby eliminating any possibility that
there was ever a missing nurse.
Since actual Air Force members who served at Roswell AAF/
Walker AFB hospital were described in this account, the next step was
to determine if actual events that occurred at the hospital were possibly
the source of this story. As stated earlier in this report, a thorough
examination of both classified and unclassified records from 1947
revealed no Army Air Forces or U.S. Air Force activities that explained
the alleged events. Therefore records were reviewed from other time
periods, based on personnel records of individuals believed to have been
identified. These persons and the periods when they were assigned to
Roswell AAF/Walker AFB are listed in Table 2.1.
