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.

On the Threshold of Space
In 1956, Twentieth Century Fox released On the Thrrshold ofS,mce,
a full-length motion picture based on Air Force aero medical projects
conducted at Holloman AFB, N.M. Starring Guy Madison. John Hodiak,
and Dean Jagger, this drama chronicled the high altitude balloon experiments
of projects HIGH DIVEIEX~ELSI~Rand the high-speed track studies conducted
by Cal. John P. Stapp. Filmed on location at Holloman AFB, Air Force
personnel, high altitude balloons, aircraft, vehicles, and other equipment,
including the actual anthropomorphic dummies responsible for sightings of
aliens, were used in the making of this film.
In an ironic twist, in 1990 the television program Unsolwd Mysrer-irs,
featured a segment on the Roswell Incident. The program, hosted by actor
Robert Stack, depicted a dramatized version of the claims of “aliens,” space
ships and mysterious government recovery crews. Interestingly, a review
of newspapers from 1956 announcing the Hollywood premiere of On the
Threshold qfSpucr, listed Stack among the persons scheduled to attend this
star-studded event.‘”
