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.

Aircraft Accidents
The examination of events that involved the Walker AFB
hospital that may explain reports of bodies was begun by reviewing the
most prominent possible source, which were aircraft accident(s).* A
review of aircraft accidents from 1947 to 1960 revealed eight fatal
accidents that involved Walker AFB.

The following three basic criteria were used to narrow research
efforts to specific accidents for more detailed examinations: were the victims
burned, resulting in possible descriptions of “black” “little bodies”?; were
the victims transported to the Walker AFB hospital?; and, were the victims
* Other possible explanations such as automobile accidents, house fires, etc., were also
examined. Hawever, none of these were determined to be responsible for this account of bodies.
