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.

A2 [Bob Shirkey]: Yeah. Here was the building and you came
out the front door and you went down this walkway, which I just said, like
a tunnel. You could see from one end to the other, but all these separate
buildings which were different wings of the hospital.
Q: This was the infirmary where you took the airman, right?
A: There were some ramps there, I think the old ramp's still
there. It was. Anyway, that's the kind of buildings they were. You don't see
it today, no.
Q: I knew that the building, most of it, was new, but I wasn't sure
if they'd built onto it...
A: That had been worked over two or three times.
Q: When you look at it looks like it's been one of these things
where they've added things to it.
So you pulled around behind the infirmary, basically.
A: It was a pretty tight squeeze in there. You couldn't get very
many cars in there.
Q: How many of those ambulances were back there?
A: There were three old box ambulances. I call them box
ambulance. I guess you call them... I wasn't in the military so I don't know
what all the terms were.
Q: Like these old field ambulances.
A: They've got the old square field ambulances, you know.
Q: The airman walked up that ramp with you. Both of you guys
went into ...
A: The airman and I both went in.
Q: Did he see that stuff in ...
A: He wasn't paying any attention because he had, I had a
tourniquet and towel over his busted nose, and he went right on in.
Q: Got himself into a little trouble in town, did he?
A: Rode an old motorcycle. The reason I remember it is because
he had an old Indian motorcycle, and I'd just bought one. I paid $40 for one
and he [rode] one, and I didn't have any fenders, and I was thinking of
maybe of...
Q: So you took him in there, and then basically after you got him
taken care of you figured you'd go look up your friend, the nurse.
Let's get that straight.
A: Stan Friedman, I think, somebody thought that I was having a
relationship with this nurse. I was not. This girl wouldn't even think about
