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.

High Altitude Balloon
Dummy Drops
From 1953to 1959,anthropomorphicdummies were u.sedby theU.S. Air
ForceAerc Medical Laboratoryaspti of the high altitudeaircraftescapeprojectsHIGH
DIVEW~Excnvo~.“’ The object of thesestudieswasto devisea method to return a
pilot or astronautto earth by parachute,if forced to escapeat extreme altitudes.‘3
Anthropomorphic dummies were transportedto altitudes up to 98,000
feet by high altitude balloons. The dummies were then releasedfor a period of
free-fall while body movementsand escapeequipment performancewere recorded
by a variety of instruments. Forty-three high altitude balloon flights canying 67
anthropomorphicdummies were launchedand recoveredthroughout New Mexico
betweenJune 1954 and February 1959.‘” Due to prevailing wind conditions,
operational factors and ruggednessof the terrain, the majority of dummies
impacted outside the confines of military reservations in eastern New Mexico,
near Roswell, and in areas surrounding the Tularosa Valley in south central
New Mexico.” Additionally, 30 dummies were dropped by aircrafl overWhite
SandsProving Ground, N.M. in 1953. In 1959, 150dummies were dropped by
aircraft over Wright-PattersonAFB, Ohio (possibly accountingfor allegedalien
“sightings” at that location). ”
