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.

The “Missing” Nurse and
the Pediatrician
To illustrate the errors in this account and to identify actual
events, the following section will examine the accounts of the missing
nurse and the unidentified pediatrician. Both of these persons were
allegedly present at the Roswell AAF hospital when the events described
by the witness occurred.
The “Missing” Nurse
Dennis recalled that the nurse was quickly and suspiciously
shipped out either the same day or the day after he met with her in the
Roswell AAF Officers’ Club. If this allegation was true, it certainly
seemed unusual-and verifiable. Therefore, the morning reports, the
certified daily personnel accounting records required to be kept by all
Army Air Forces units at that time, were obtained and reviewed. These
reports did not indicate that a nurse or any other person was reassigned on
the days alleged, July 8 or July 9, 1947. -1” The morning reports of the
427th Army Air Forces Base Unit (AAFBU) Squadron “M,” the unit that
all the medical personnel at Roswell AAF were assigned in July 1947, did
not indicate a sudden or overseas transfer of a nurse or any other person.
Records indicated that one nurse was reassigned on July 23, 1947, over
two weeks after the purported events described by Dennis.41 That nurse
was transferred by normal personnel rotation procedures to Ft. Worth
AAF (now Carswell AFB), Texas, where she remained on active duty
until March 1949.“? In fact, the Squadron “M” morning reports revealed
the strength of the Army Nurse Corps (ANC) at Roswell AAF for July 1947
was only five nurses. Of these live nurses none were transferred overseas
or killed in a plane crash-the “rumored” fate of the missing nurse.‘3
This review of the hospital morning reports also indicated that
the name of the missing nurse provided by the witness was inaccurate.
The witness stated in several interviews that he believed the nurse’s name
was Naomi Maria Se1ff.44A comprehensive search of morning reports
and rosters from the Roswell AAF Station Hospital indicated that no
person by this name, or a similar name, had ever served there. This
finding was supported by a search of personnel records at the National
Personnel Records Center (NPRC) in St. Louis, MO., a part of the
National Archives and Record Administration. NPRC is the depository
for all U.S. military personnel records. The search at NPRC also did not
find a record that a person named Naomi Maria Selff had ever served in
-any branch of the U.S. Armed Forces.
These findings were consistent with previous efforts of several
pro-UFO researchers who have also attempted to locate this nurse or
