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.

Like it was trying-like you do a person in shock, you know, a put him on a
blanket, that kind of thing. And apparently it had some boxes there around it
and had apparently been trying to give first aid or help these other creatures
when we first got there.
As we approached, the creature drew back like this, like it was in
fear, like we were going to hurt it. And it wasn't very long, you know, we
were trying to communicate with it, the adults were. It seemed to calm down
and just sat there and kind of looked back and forth, watching them,
apparently trying to figure out what was going on ...
Q: What did it look like, a little bit more.
A: These creatures, all of them, were, oh, about four foot tall,
four and a half feet tall. They had very large heads that were shaped larger
on the top and they kind of tapered down, not to a real sharp point but just
tapered down where they were thin. And they had very large, very large,
oval shaped or almond shaped, I guess you could say, black eyes. The head ...
They were so shiny, they had almost a bluish tint to them when the light
reflected off of them. Their skin coloration, the best way that I could
describe that is it was kind of a bluish tinted milky-white. It looked like
someone in shock. And the ones that were laying on the ground were
really-really looked more that way, more blue in the light, you know...
Q: How about ears, nose, mouth?
A: No, there were no visible ears on the creatures except like-
if you was just to cover your ear like this to where there was just a rise there
and then a hole without, you know, your ear lobe and the rest of the area ...
Q: How about nose?
A: It was-the nose was very, very small, almost imperceptible.
It's like two holes, straight in; and the lips were just a straight line. It was like
a cut and you couldn't see, just the lips like we have, it was just a slit. And ...
Q: What hair color? Sound?
A: Pardon?
Q: What hair color?
A: There was no hair. They were completely bald.
Q: And no sounds?
A: I never heard a sound one, not out of any of the creatures
including the one that was ...
Q: Did you see fingers?
A: Yes, they had fingers like this. They didn't have a little finger.
They just had the thumb and three extra digits except the center digit was
longer and the other two were about the same size. They were very long and
slender and looked very delicate and I made the statement before and I'll
