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.

Q: Boys, girls?
A: Three boys and two girls. And they were all, you know,
introducing, talking to my father and my uncle and my brother...
Q: What did the older one look like?
A: He was a very tall man, a very big man. He was wearing a
pith helmet when he first came up, one of those kind of explorer helmets.
And he was bald and I know that because he had taken it off and he had, you
know, wiped it with a handkerchief and put it back on. He was a balding
man. And he had a round face. He was very ruddy completed. A big man,
and he apparently was a doctor because they kept calling him doctor and it
was my understanding that it was an archeological group that was out there
on some kind of summer thing. And they talked and he apparently was able
to speak several foreign languages and he tried to talk to this creature several
times in different languages, again to no avail.
Q: How did they happen to be there? Had he seen the thing ...
A: Well, they claim that they saw-they said they saw this thing
come down the night before in flight, you know, and they thought it was a
meteorite and they had talked about well, early in the morning, you know,
we'll go over and see this, where this meteor came down, because that's what
they thought it was.
And when the sun came up the next morning, you know, and they
got about their business, got up and somebody looked over and said, you
know, they saw this shiny metal and stuff across the plains there and they
realized it wasn't a meteorite, it may have been an airplane that had crashed
so they all decided to go over there and see if there was anybody left alive,
you know, that was hurt that needed help.
Q: They had driven over?
A: No, they walked over apparently, the way I understand it.
And it's quite a ways across that plain so it had to take a very long time to do
this or they may have had a vehicle, I don't know. That's an assumption, I
think, on my part, where they walked.
Q: Okay. So they're around ...
A: But they came across ...
Q: ... with the family...
A: ... the plains. I don't know why I said that. I'm not sure if
they drove or not. I didn't hear any cars.
Q: And then somebody else shows up?
A: Yes, they were down just, oh, 15 maybe 20 minutes tops, you
know. And they were picking up things, some of the students. And this Dr.
Buskirk, that they called him, this one girl went up and said, "Look, doctor,
