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.

Spanish and of course it didn’t understand a word he said. And dad tried to
talk to it and then they tried, you know, sign language and that didn’t work.
And I don’t know, for some reason, I just-1 reached down and
touched it, this one that was laying next to me. When I touched it I realized
and I jumped back. It scared me. It startled me becauseI suddenly realized
that these weren’t dolls. I thought they were plastic dolls. And I-you know,
it was still in my mind that these were dolls until I touched it and then I
realized, you know, this was a dead thing.
I’d seen dead relatives before and unfortunately made a mistake
one time in touching a relative that was in a casket and I just knew this was a
dead thing and it scared me, and I ran around behind my father and my uncle
and this thing was sitting there on the ground and it kept looking back and
forth. And it just had its hands like this in its lap, and just kept looking back
and forth between the three of them and-like it was trying to understand.
And all of a sudden it just turned and looked right straight at me
between my uncle Ted and myself. And this is when-it was just like an
explosion of things in my head, things... I started, you know, feeling, just
terrible depression and loneliness and fear and just, you know, awful, awful
feelings that just suddenly burst in to my mind there. I don’t know if that
meant that it was communicating with me and I was the only one there that
it could communicate with because I was a kid. I don’t know.
I turned and ran and I ran across the arroyo and up on the area that
it had bounced off of during the crash. I was just standing there looking
down at this scene, you know, at my family, and off in the distance I could
see cattle grazing. I could see a windmill and could see dust trails out on the
plains out there.
And, oh, I was there for a while and then I came back down. I
guess we were there-Victor was, when I got back down there Victor was up
in the craft and Ted yelled at him to get out of there and Glen went over and
grabbed him by the belt and jerked him around...
Q: That’s your brother?
A: Yes.
And jerked him off, says, “Get out becausethis thing may explode
and kill us all,” you know, and then of course he went prowling around in there.
I was kind of standing off to one side looking. That’s why I knew
that there was-1 can look off these rocks that I was standing on and look
right into this thing. That’s why I knew, you know, about the lights and the
components and stuff.
And then I heard other people talking. I turned and there was a
group of people coming up the arroyo from out on the plains from the south.
They had come up there and of course they walked up and was talking.
Q: How many?
A: There was an older man and tive younger students.
