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.

maybe. Most of that one side was ripped open like that. You could see
inside and you could see another double hull, like-in there. And there were
just rows of components that was on there.
And there were lights that flashed on and off. Some of them were
steady and some were flashing. There was a lot of debris and stuff hanging
out of the hole. There was evidence that there apparently had been fire. It
looked like it had been burned along the edge there. The gash ...
Q: Now this wasn't a gash that could have been caused by the
thing coming in for the ground? It wasn't at the leading edge of the vehicle?
A: No, no. This was in the side like-it almost appeared it was
elliptical. It almost appeared as if something the same shape as the disk we
were looking at had hit that same-you know, like it hit the disk and left
an imprint that pretty closely approximated the outside diameter of the disk
itself. And it appeared to be caved in looking, kind of like it hit them like
this and it just crumpled and caved in and ripped it open.
Q: Okay, so you're there, you take all this in, everybody is
mystified. What were the circumstances outside? Hot, cold?
A: Very, very hot. Incredible to me, being the first time in New
Mexico and coming from back east. I had dry heaves. It was like the inside
of an oven. It was unbelievable to me. You know, the odd part about this
was that the closer you got to it, the cooler it was. And standing under it in
the shade there next to these creatures' bodies, it was like refrigerated air
conditioning. And ...
Q: Did you feel air coming out of this thing?
A: No, it was just like it was (inaudible).
And I remember reaching up and putting my hand on the side of it
but I think I was afraid I was going to hit my head because there was enough
room for me as small child, you know, I was approximately the same size as
these creatures, to walk up under there and stand there but I kind of did like
that, put my hand up against this thing.
Q: What did it feel like?
A: It was ice cold. It felt like it just came out of a freezer.
Q: Was it smooth? Was it rough?
A: It was very smooth. It had a very smooth texture to it. It was
obviously made out of metal. It was very solid and it was very cold, ice cold.
And there was a smell in the area. It smelled volatile, acrid, like
acetone. And that seemed to be coming out of that gash, that smell. But the
closer you got to this thing, the cooler it was so, you know, I kind of
remained there.
And I guess that while they were over here, my father and my
uncle Ted and my brother. Uncle Ted was trying to talk to this thing in
