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.

On one occasion northwest of Roswell, a local woman
unfamiliar with the test activities arrived at a dummy landing site
prior to the arrival of the recovery personnel.b” The woman saw
what appeared to be a human embedded head first in a snowbank and
became hysterical. The woman screamed, “He’s dead!, he’s dead!“‘”
It now appeared that anthropomorphic dummies dropped
by high altitude balloons satisfied the requirements of the research
profile. However, the review of high altitude balloon operations
revealed what appeared to be explanations for some other sightings
of odd objects in the deserts and skies of New Mexico.
