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 conclusions of the additional research are:
l Air Force activities which occurred over a period of many
years have been consolidated and are now represented to have
occurred in two or three days in July 1947.
l “Aliens” observed in the New Mexico desert were probably
anthropomorphic test dummies that were carried aloft by U.S.
Air Force high altitude balloons for scientific research.
l The “unusual” military activities in the New Mexico desert
were high altitude research balloon launch and recovery
operations. The reports of military units that always seemed to
arrive shortiy after the crash of a flying saucer to retrieve the
saucer and “crew,” were actually accurate descriptions of Air
Force personnel engaged in anthropomorphic dummy recovery
operations.
l Claims of bodies at the Roswell Army Air Field hospital were
most likely a combination of two separate incidents:
1) a 1956 KC-97 aircraft accident in which 11 Air Force
members lost their lives; and,
2) a 1959 manned balloon mishap in which two Air Force
pilots were injured.
This report is based on thoroughly documented research
supported by official records, technical reports, film footage, photographs,
and interviews with individuals who were involved in these events.
