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.

Transcript of Interview with W. Glenn Dennis* (Alleged firsthand witness to events at the Roswell AAF hospital) Q: You started getting calls from the base mortuary officer is that right, some time in the afternoon on some day in July [1947]. A: Right after noon, yeah. Q: Do you recall, was that before the story appeared in the [Roswell Daily] Record? A: I don't know. I'm sure it was. I can't honestly say, but I don't think the paper carne out until the next day, I don't think. I'm just assuming that. Q: I understand. When things like that happen to me way after the fact I try to remember, and I wasn't sure if you had any recollection or not. It was the base mortuary officer who called you, not any of the MDs out there. A: No. Q: He was just, the mortuary officer was just the guy... A: We used to have a standing joke. What did you do that was so bad they made you the mortuary officer. Q: Exactly. A: He wasn't a doctor or anything, but he was an officer and he was probably some old boy they was trying to figure out something to do with. We used to all have them come in, even the officer himself, say, "God, I didn't know I screwed up that bad." Q: Was this a guy you'd worked with before? Somebody you knew real well? A: No. Those guys come and go. Q: I realize that. You don't remember what his name was or anything like that? A: No. I' rn like Bob [Shirkey]. I think if I would see it or heard it or something I might. Those guys, they were in and out. The mortuary officer, usually they would appoint some sergeant or somebody. The only time the doctors were involved is when you'd have an embalming inspection * W. Glenn Dennis, interview with Karl T. Pflock, November 2, 1992. 197
