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.

Two of them was full of debris. Like Bob [Shit-key] saw a bunch little stuff,
and there was a couple of pretty good sized,
Q: Two of the three ambulances had stuff,
A: One of them’s door was closed, but the other two... There was
two MPs standing right out, kind of just leaning up against the back of those,
I remember.
Q: Did they challenge you when you tried to go in?
A: No...Evidently because I drove up with that airman, and they
just figured whatever.
Another thing, when I was there, all the people that was there, that
nurse was the only person I saw that was permanent station. Everybody else
was all new in that whole hospital operation. Even in the coke room, there
wasn’t anybody in there that I knew. I started back and got to the door, and I
saw this...
(Pause)
We’ve been tiiends for years, but I don’t want to talk with him around.
Q: So the stuff you saw, you said it was not aluminum,
A: ...looked like hot stainless steel when it got hot. When you
put flame on stainless, see, I do sculpture work and all that, and I know what
the stuff looks like.
Q: Oh, you’re a sculpture? I didn’t know that?
A: Yeah, I’ve been doing it for years. I had my own foundry... I did.
I don’t do it any more. I have my stuff done. But anyway, this stuff was a blue
purplish, it looked like hot stainlesssteel, is what it looked like. Steel that got
hot. It didn’t look like aluminum, it wasn’t even melted like aluminum. I don’t
even think it was melted, just like a bunch of fragments.
Q: But there were some bigger things in there besides the
fragments, right?
A: Yeah. There were was two pieces,
Anyway, do you want to go back to the nurse?
Q: Yes, please
A: I started back, see, and this captain was standing there, and
naturally, I just thought we had a plane crash. When we had that, we used
to till up the ambulances and everything else. It would (inaudible) for you
to have a hand here or an arm or a foot or something. You know what I’m
talking about. Then you’ve got to get in and take all that stuff and separate
it and put those bodies back together with identification. That’s what you’ve
got to do. I thought we had a crash.
I saw this guy,.I didn’t know him. He was standing there at the door.
