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 Alice Knight*
(Alleged secondhand witness to
“crash site”
175 miles northwest of Roswell)
A: I remember thal he saw-one time I went to visit-and I
don’t remember whether it was before my husband and I married or after,
I don’t recall the date. But he said that he saw a UFO fall. He was out
working in the tield and I understood that he was out on the St. Agustin
Plains and he went over that way and it fell and he got nearly to the site
and there was a group of people on a geological-archeological hunt and
they were over there. I don’t remember how many people he said.
But they got nearly up to the UFO but it was close enough that
you could see some creatures. He said they didn’t look like human
beings out there.
And along came government cars and trucks...
Q: Now, by government you mean....
A: I guess it was government. You know, as I said it was a
long time ago. And someone came along and I understood it, I don’t
know whether it was army or what. I think he just termed it government
trucks and they told him to go on back and forget they ever saw anything,
and that’s all I recall.
