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.

and Research Methods
The “Crash Sites”
From 1947 until the late 197Os,the Roswell Incident was
confined to one alleged crash site. This site, located on the Foster
Ranch approximately 75 miles northwest of the city of Roswell, was the
actual landing site of a Project MOGUL balloon train in June 1947.‘” The
MOGUL landing site is referred to in popular Roswell literature as the
“debris field.”
In the 197Os, the 1980s and throughout the 199Os, additional
witnesses came forward with claims and descriptions of two other alleged
crash sites. One of these sites was supposedly north of Roswell, the other
site was alleged to have been approximately 175 miles northwest of
Roswell in an area of New Mexico known as the San Agustin Plains.”
What distinguished the two new crash sites from the original debris field
were accounts of alien bodies.
