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.

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 red-
headed 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.
