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.

going with me, and she was going strictly, when she got her time paid back
to the service she was going into an order of the nuns, sisters, and she was
going to be in education and later on she changed to the nursing deal. The
only reason she was in it, because her folks were in debt and she went in the
service to get her education. She got her education and then she was going
to pay back the church what they owed her. Her whole thing in life was,
from the day she was born, her life was planned that she was going to be in
an order.
Q: Did she ever tell you which order that was?
A: It was in St. Paul, Minnesota. That's all I know.
Q: That's where she was from.
A: That's where she was born and raised. She never went out of
the city until she went to ... My understanding was she never went anywhere
and she never lived anywhere. She was raised up from the time... Strictly
raised by the church. That was the only life she ever planned. She wouldn't
date a man if her life depended on it. She'd get around and talk and
everything, but there was no way. But everybody said I was going to marry
her and ... That's bull shit.
Q: The implication was that she was cute and ...
A: She was cute. I could have been interested. If I wouldn't have
played second fiddle to the Catholic church, because that's what she would
have been.
Q: How did you get to know her, just being out there on the base?
A: The ambulance service. You go out there, and you've got
your splints on a guy, you've got first aid, whatever, you can't just throw
them off of your stretcher. You maybe help them ... Sometimes you're
out there two hours or three. Then while you're waiting to get your
equipment back you sit in the coat room with the doctors and with the
nurse's quarters. That's where we always had our cokes and stuff.
Q: So you'd just shoot the breeze with whoever's around.
A: You get to know these people. That's the only way. See, she'd
only been there less than three months. Of course, I'm a crazy son of a gun ...
Nearly everybody remembered her. She was a good looking little thing, a
beautiful little girl. We thought she was kind of lonely.
Q: As you well, know, there's been a major effort to try to find her.
[Skip in tape]
A: She was out here less than three months.
Q: So you went back there. Tell me what happened.
A: I started back there, and that's when I got in trouble. I saw
this officer standing there, and I saw this debris in the back of the ambulance.
