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.

make it again, I think he would have made an excellent violinist because of
the structure of their hands.
They were wearing one piece suits. All of them were dressed
exactly the same. It was sort of a real shiny silverish gray color.
Q: No zippers, buttons?
A: No, I saw no zippers, no buttons.
Q: Insignias?
A: No, no insignias. The only thing that was different, you
know, and they a11had this, but the only that was different from the silvery
gray thing, the suit, was that down like a seam line, like there was a seam
on his shoulder and around the collar it was trimmed in what appeared to
be maroon, like cording.
Then the suits were continuous with their footwear. We could see
right this area down, it seemed to be less pliable then it was up here, like
this was a stiffer area, like they were boots or shoes or something. But they
were all dressed exactly the same.
Q: Okay. So you and your family are talking back and forth,
wondering what was going on, what did your family say? I mean...
A: Well...
Q: ...did they say anything?
A: Yes, my brother, one of his first remarks I heard him say him
say, “That’s a god damn spaceship.” You know there were bodies up there
and, you know, I was told not to go up there, which I didn’t. And...
Q: How old was your brother at the time?
A He was in his early twenties, I think, 20,21, something like that.
Q: He was a lot older that you were?
A: Oh, yes, considerably.
When we got up there I kind of meanderedoff to one side. This thing
was cocked up and I was standing here, the bodies were here, and everybody else
was kind of down here except my cousin Victor was over here playing and
looking in this gaping hole on the side of this disk, And it was shapedjust like a
discus except for a round dome was up on top and there was this big gaping gash
in there. We could seeinside and it looked like a double hull.
Q: How big-explain it? The gash.
A: The dome?
Q: No, the gash.
A: Well, it covered the greater majority from the center of the
craft out. It was just like a gaping hole in there. I mean I’m thinking, you
know, it’s like about 32, 35 feet in diameter so we’re talking about 17 feet
