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.

Transcript of Interview with
Gerald Anderson*
Alleged firsthand witness to
“Crash Site” Two
(allegedly 175 miles northwest of Roswell)
A: We drove down to the Plains of San Agustin which is west of
Socorro, New Mexico in the Magdalena, Datil, area. We were down there
looking for banded and moss agate,which according to my uncle Ted and my
cousin Victor was prevalent in the area. My brother being an amateur rock
hound had wanted to get some of this. That was a way of showing us around the
area. They had relatives down in Magdalena that they wanted to introduce us to.
So we had gone down there and we got down in the Horse Springs
area and had driven off onto the plains down an old rutted road for, oh, a mile
or so and it seemed like a long ways. We parked the car, got out of the car
and walked down a hillside.
There’s a semi-forest, 1 guess you could say. It had pinon trees and
scrub oak and stuff like that on it and we walked-well, not scrub oak, but
cedar-and walked down the hillside into an arroyo, a dry wash, and then
walked south down a dry wash toward where the agateswere supposedto be at.
As we came around a bend in the arroyo that had pinon and cedar
trees growing, we were able to see farther ahead down the arroyo and on the
next ridge line there was a large silver disc shaped object was embedded in
this side of the ridge hne...there was debris and wreckage strewn about the
area mainly this thing was intact. 1 would estimate its size from an adult
perspective to something like 35 feet in diameter. I’ve heard other people
who were there say they thought it was like 50 feet. But as an adult, I would
say about 35 feet in diameter, quite large. When we got up to it there were
four bodies there... not human, there was two of them that were obviously
dead, one of them was obviously very badly injured, and one of them
apparently suffered no ill effects...or it didn’t appear to be injured and was
ambulatory, was mobile. It was just setting there next to the one...
Q: Were they right next to the vehicle?
A: Right next to it. Right under the edge of it. And this craft had
apparently come in from the east and bounced off one ridge line, plowing
through this arroyo area and then crashed into the ridge line and embedded
itself. They were sitting back under the edge, it was kind of tilted up like this
and they were sitting back under the edge here. And I’m assuming that this
one creature that was all right had laid this material on the ground but it
looked like unrolled tinfoil that these other three creatures were laying on.
