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 75 10th USAF Hospital was located approximately 45 miles north of
London at Wimp& Park, Cambridge, England.
An additional similarity between Fanton and the “missing nurse” is that
her personnel record indicated that she quickly departed Roswell AAF and it is
probable that the hospital staff would not have provided information concerning
her departure. Fanton’s unannounced departure from Roswell AAF, on
September 4, 1947 was to be admitted to Brooke General Hospital, Ft. Sam
Houston, Texas, for a medical condition.‘5 This condition was first diagnosed in
January 1946 and ultimately led to her medical retirement in 1955? Therefore,
if someone other than a family member contacted the Station Hospital at
Rowe11 AAF and inquired about Fanton, as Dennis stated he did, the staff was
simply protecting her privacy as a patient. The staff was not participating in a
sinister “cover-up” of information as alleged by UFO theorists.
The Pediatrician
In at least two interviews, the witness stated that a pediatrician
stationed at the hospital was involved in the events he described.57 When
asked by an interviewer how he knew the pediatrician was involved,
Dennis was quoted as replying, “I know he was involved because I saw
him there.“5x Dennis is also quoted as saying that he and the pediatrician
were “pretty good friends,” and after the pediatrician left the military he
[the pediatrician] set up a practice in Farmington, N.M. “I used to go
fishing all the time up north and I visited him several times up there and
he was involved,” Dennis said. “I don’t remember his name, I think he is
still practicing in Farmington,” 59
A review of personnelfiles and interviews with former members of the
Roswell AAF/WalkerAFB hospital staff, revealedthat only one physician ever
relocated to Farmington, N.M. following his military service. The former Capt.
Frank B. Nordstrom servedat Walker AFB from June 1951 until June 1953.”
Records also revealed that Nordstrom was indeed a pediatrician and while
at Walker AFB, served as the Chief of Pediatric Services.“’ When Nordstrom,
a residentof the small town of Aztec, N.M., was interviewed for this report,
he statedthat he did not recall ever meeting Dennis and could not recall any events
that supportedany of his claims (seesignedsworn statementin Appendix B).62
Farmington (population 8,000 in 1954) is located in the
primarily rural Four Comers region of New Mexico approximately 300
miles northwest of Roswell. According to Nordstrom, Farmington did
not have a pediatrician before his arrival in 1954. From 1954 until
approximately 1970, Nordstrom believes he was the only pediatrician
in the area. His recollections were confirmed by a local Farmington
pharmacist, Charles E. ClouthierhX Clouthier also served at the Walker
AFB hospital, from 1955 to 1957, and following his military service
returned to Farmington, his hometown, where he had lived since 1934.
Clouthier has been employed by and co-owned a business, Farmington
Drug, since 1957. He is familiar with most, if not all, of the doctors who
