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.

Q: Boys, girls?
A: Three boys and two girls. And they were all, you know,
introducing, talking to my father and my uncle and my brother...
Q: What did the older one look like?
A: He was a very tall man, a very big man. He was wearing a
pith helmet when he first came up, one of those kind of explorer helmets.
And he was bald and I know that because he had taken it off and he had, you
know, wiped it with a handkerchief and put it back on. He was a balding
man. And he had a round face. He was very ruddy completed. A big man,
and he apparently was a doctor because they kept calling him doctor and it
was my understanding that it was an archeological group that was out there
on some kind of summer thing. And they talked and he apparently was able
to speak several foreign languages and he tried to talk to this creature several
times in different languages, again to no avail.
Q: How did they happen to be there? Had he seen the thing...
A: Well, they claim that they saw-they said they saw this thing
come down the night before in flight, yott know, and they thought it was a
meteorite and they had talked about well, early in the morning, yott know,
we’ll go over and see this, where this meteor came down, because that’s what
they thought it was.
And when the stm came up the next morning, you know, and they
got about their business, got up and somebody looked over and said, yott
know, they saw this shiny metal and stuff across the plains there and they
realized it wasn’t a meteorite, it may have been an airplane that had crashed
so they all decided to go over there and see if there was anybody left alive,
you know, that was hurt that needed help.
Q: They had driven over?
A: No, they walked over apparently, the way I understand it.
And it’s quite a ways across that plain so it had to take a very long time to do
this or they may have had a vehicle, I don’t know. That’s an assumption, I
think, on my part, where they walked.
Q: Okay. So they’re around...
A: But they came across...
Q: . ..with the family...
A: . ..the plains. I don’t know why I said that. I’m not sme if
they drove or not. I didn’t hear any cars.
Q: And then somebody else shows up?
A: Yes, they were down just, oh, 15 maybe 20 minutes tops, you
know. And they were picking ttp things, some of the students. And this Dr.
Buskirk, that they called him, this one girl went up and said, “Look, doctor,
