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.

Fig. 8. Announcement from the November 4, 1Y92 Socmrro (N.M.) Defen.ror Chi&z soliciting witnesses of flying saucer crashes in New Mexico. When former Air Force scientists responded to advise the authors that Air Force projects were mcxt probably responsible for the UFO accounts, they were summarily dismissed by the authors who placed the announcement, and then were accused of participating in a cover-up. Fig. 9. (Lq”r) E.D. “Duke” Gildenberg served as the civilian meteorologist, engineer, and physical science administrator for the Holloman AFB Balloon Branch from 1951.IYXI. Gild&erg actively p&cipati in thousands of high altitude balloon operations. including the flights that dropped anthropomorphic dummies at off-range locations throughout New Mexico. Gildenberg, the %hei‘ofAir Force scientific kdkxmhg, wa.5 insmmcnti in identifying the many adw*I Air Force activities now known as the “Roswell Incident.” Fig. IO. (Right) Charles B. Moore, Professor Emeritus of Atmospheric Physics at the New Mexico lnstitutc of Mining and Technology. was the project engineer for New York Univenity under comr~ct to the U.S. Army Air Forces to dcvrlop high altitude balloon rechnology for Project Maim. Moore launched the balloon train on June 4, 1947, that when combined with otir events, m now known as the “Roswell Incident.” Since many of the Roswell accountsand allegationswere collected by irregular methodsand are not specifically documented,the seriesof eventsas alleged by UFO theoristshasbecome very complex and requiresclarification. Therefore,the following section will briefly examine some of the more confusing ‘elementsof the Roswell stories,specifically, the multiple crash sites and complex scenarios,in order to facilitate an objective analysis of actual events. 9
