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.

Two of them was full of debris. Like Bob [Shirkey] saw a bunch little stuff, and there was a couple of pretty good sized. Q: Two of the three ambulances had stuff... A: One of them's door was closed, but the other two ... There was two MPs standing right out, kind of just leaning up against the back of those. I remember. Q: Did they challenge you when you tried to go in? A: No ... Evidently because I drove up with that airman, and they just figured whatever. Another thing, when I was there, all the people that was there, that nurse was the only person I saw that was permanent station. Everybody else was all new in that whole hospital operation. Even in the coke room, there wasn't anybody in there that I knew. I started back and got to the door, and I saw this ... (Pause) We've been friends for years, but I don't want to talk with him around. Q: So the stuff you saw, you said it was not aluminum ... A: .. .looked like hot stainless steel when it got hot. When you put flame on stainless, see, I do sculpture work and all that, and I know what the stuff looks like. Q: Oh, you're a sculpture? I didn't know that? A: Yeah, I've been doing it for years. I had my own foundry... I did. I don't do it any more. I have my stuff done. But anyway, this stuff was a blue purplish, it looked like hot stainless steel, is what it looked like. Steel that got hot. It didn't look like aluminum, it wasn't even melted like aluminum. I don't even think it was melted, just like a bunch of fragments. Q: But there were some bigger things in there besides the fragments, right? A: Yeah. There were was two pieces. Anyway, do you want to go back to the nurse? Q: Yes, please. A: I started back, see, and this captain was standing there, and naturally, I just thought we had a plane crash. When we had that, we used to fill up the ambulances and everything else. It would (inaudible) for you to have a hand here or an arm or a foot or something. You know what I'm talking about. Then you've got to get in and take all that stuff and separate it and put those bodies back together with identification. That's what you've got to do. I thought we had a crash. I saw this guy, I didn't know him. He was standing there at the door. 202
