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.

sergeant, my brother told me he was, and he got out of this car and then a
guy got out on the other side and he was a, Glen said he was a captain, he
told me later he was a captain and this guy had orange and red hair. So all
the soldiers and them came running over there pointing guns at people,
telling them, "Get away, get away, get away," you know? And when this
creature saw these people, the military, he went nuts. He went into an
absolute panic, worse than what he did when he saw us.
Q: Did he move around or just his eyes or...
A: He just, he just...
Q Oh, okay.
A: ... went crazy. And it was like ...
Q: Like he was scared?
A: Yes, like he was looking for a place to run and hide.
Q: But he never got up?
A: He never got up. He never left the beings that were next to him.
And this red headed officer, this guy was a real butt hole. He made
all the threats. He threatened to have people shot.
Q: Everybody?
A: He went, "Get away, get away," you know, "We'll shoot. Get
away from there. This is a military secret." You know, just screaming and
hollering. He told my uncle and my father that if they didn't want to spend
the rest of their life in prison they would never say anything about what they
saw there, if they ever wanted to see us kids again, they'd take the kids away.
They'd never see the kids, you know, meaning me and Victor. That we'd
better keep our mouths shut because if we did not, this is what was going to
happen. They were threatening people and pushing people ...
Q: The students as well and Dr. Buskirk?
A: Oh, yes. They were hustling everybody. And one of the
soldiers pushed my uncle. He had a rifle like this and he shoved him back
like that. Well, that was something you didn't do to my uncle Ted. Ted had a
violent temper. And he grabbed the rifle and reached over top and smacked
this guy and dropped him right there. And Ted would go out and fight, heck,
this guy's a cowboy. He'll hit you in a minute.
And of course when he did that there was bolts opened and I guess
cocking, they were cocking their rifles. They were pointing guns at people
and everybody Buskirk and Glen and dad grabbed him, you know, pulled
him back and got him away. "No, don't, Ted, they're going to shoot. Don't
do that." You know, trying to stop this. And I think we came very close to
having someone shot.
Then they really started threatening, you know, and they...
