The Roswell Report: Case Closed

US Air Force · 1997 · 234 pages · text from the file's own layer

The Roswell Report: Case Closed is a 1997 US Air Force report written by Captain James McAndrew, with a foreword by Secretary of the Air Force Sheila E. Widnall. It follows up the 1994 report, which found that the 1947 debris came from the balloon project MoGUL. It concludes that the reported alien bodies were probably anthropomorphic test dummies dropped from high altitude balloons. It attributes the hospital body claims to a 1956 KC-97 crash and a 1959 manned balloon mishap.

STATEMENT OF WITNESS
Date: 26 April 1996 Place: Farmington, NM
I Charles E. Clouthier, hereby state that James McAndrew, was identified as a Captain,
USAFR on this date at my place of employment do hereby, voluntarily and of my own free
will, make the following statement. This was done without having been subjected to any
coercion, unlawful influence or unlawful inducement.
l was on active duty in the US Air Force and stationed at Walker AFB, Roswell, NM,
from February 1955 until October 1956. During that time I was a pharmacist assigned to
the base hospital. Following my tour of duty with the Air Force, I returned to my
hometown, Farmington, NM, where I became an employee and eventually a co-owner of
Farmington Drug.
With the exception of the two years in the US Air Force, I have been a resident of
Farmington, NM since 1934. It is my recollection that Dr Frank B. Nordstrom was the
first pediatrician to practice in the Farmington area and he remained the only pediatrician
in Farmington until approximately 1970. I base these recollections on extensive
professional and personal contacts with physicians in the Farmington area and as a father
of two children who were patients of Dr Nordstrom's.
Also based on nearly 40 years of contact with physicians in the Farmington area, I believe
that Dr Nordstrom is the only physician who served a tour of duty at Walker AFB. During
the 1960s, I became aware that Dr Nordstrom had also served at the Walker AFB
hospital. At various times in the ensuing years, Dr Nordstrom and I reminisced about our
service at Walker AFB. During these conversations Dr Nordstrom never mentioned any
activities during his tour of duty I considered unusual or that might explain reports of
bodies or aliens. During the time I was stationed at Walker AFB, I did not witness, nor
did I hear rumors, of anything that involved flying saucers, aliens, or anything else of an
extraterrestrial nature.
I am not part of a conspiracy to withhold information from either the US government or
the American public. There is no classified information that I am withholding related to
this inquiry, and I have not been threatened by US government persons concerning not
talking about this matter.
