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.

What may have contributed to a misunderstanding if the
dummies were viewed by persons unfamiliar with their intended
use, were the methods used by Holloman AFB personnel to transport
them. The dummies were sometimes transported to and from off-
range locations in wooden shipping containers, similar to caskets,
to prevent damage to fragile instruments mounted in and on the
dummy.” Also, canvas military stretchers and hospital gurneys were
used (a procedure recommended by a dummy manufacturer) to move
the dummies in the laboratory or retrieve dummies in the field after
a test.hh The first 10 dummy drops also utilized black or silver
insulation bags, similar to “body bags” in which the dummies were
placed for flight to guard against equipment failure at low ambient
temperatures of the upper atmosphere.“’
