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.

“Bodies” with Large Heads
and Wright-Patterson AFB, Ohio
UFO theorists contend that the U.S. Army Air Forces secretly
shipped the alien bodies with large heads to Wright-Patterson AFB for
further processing and deep-freeze storage. However, it is likely that, in this
account, this is a reference to Fulgham’s return to Wright-Patterson AFB
following the balloon mishap,
Although Fulgham did not require hospitalization at Walker AFB,
upon his return to Holloman AFB he was admitted to the base hospital for
observation. Three days later on May 24, 1959, the balloon pilots were
flown from Holloman to Wright-Patterson AFB on a specially arranged flight
aboard a C- 13 1 hospital aircraft.‘i4
The return to Wright-Patterson AFB was directed by Stapp and
coordinated by Kittinger.2’5 The preliminary arrangements for this flight
were made by Kittinger while at the Walker AFB hospitaL2’” Kittinger
recalled that conversations with Stapp regarding their return to Wright-
Patterson AFB were made by phone in busy areas of the hospital and these
conversations could have been overheard by nearly anyone present2”
Upon their arrival at Wright-Patterson, Fulgham, who Kittinger did
not want to transport on a commercial flight due to his odd appearance, still
could not open his eyes and had to be led down the steps of the aircraft.
Kittinger recalled that Fulgham’s wife was waiting at the bottom of the
aircraft steps when they arrived.
“They dropped the ramp and I looked down at the bottom and there
was Dan Fulgham’s wife,” Kittinger said. “Dan couldn’t see...so I grabbed
him by the arm...Dan’s wife sees me leading this blob down the staircase...
and she looks right at me and says, ‘Where’s my husband?’ I said, ‘Ma’am,
this is your husband’. I presented her this blob that I was leading down the
ramp. And she let out this scream you could hear a mile away. He was such
a horrendous looking thing that she had no idea that the thing I was leading
down that ramp was her husband.“2’R
