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.

Q: When he first appeared and started getting, essentially, pretty
rough, was the sergeant around at that time, or did he show up ...
A: He was kind of beside of him. I think they were standing
there ... Yeah, they were definitely standing there together. I don't know if they
walked in together, because I didn't see them until they turned me around.
Q: Was there a lot of activity at that time? Were there people...
A: People were [fastened] everywhere. And the odd part of it
was, there wasn't anybody, wasn't any of our regular people. These were all
people that I'd never seen before. That's why I got in so much trouble. I'd
never seen these guys.
Q: These were not any of the guys that would ordinarily
recognize you as somebody who would ...
A: And they sure as hell didn't want me there, you know that.
Q When he says, "Get him out of there," the redhead, did he
make any threats to you himself? Did he say, "Don't say anything about this,
forget it..."
A: He said, just like that. He says, "Now listen, Mister, you
don't go back into town starting a bunch of damn rumors." This guy swore
as much as I do. Anyway, he said, "Don't start a bunch of damn rumors,
because nothing happened out here. There's no plane crashes. Nothing's
happened. You don't go in and start." Then he told the MPs, "Get the son of
a bitch out of here."
That's when I said, right then, I said, "Look, Mister, I'm a civilian, and
you can't do a damn thing to me, you go to hell." That's when he said, "Listen,
Mister, somebody will be picking your bones out of the sand."
Then the black sergeant said, "Sir, he would make good dog food,"
or something like that. I remember the dog food.
The next morning at 6:00 o'clock the sheriff was out at my dad's
house and told my dad, "Glenn may be in a lot of trouble with the base, and
tell him to keep his mouth shut."
I never told my story to anybody, but my dad came up, I was living
in a room at the funeral home. He came up and got me out of bed and
wanted to know what I'd done. He was a very patriotic old man, and he said,
"If you done anything against our government, I'll take care of it."
Q: When was this?
A: The next morning.
Q: You were saying what the heck? What's going on?
A: Yeah. I said, well hey... He said, George Wilcox-the sheriff
and my dad were real good friends, and he said George tells me you're in
a lot of trouble out there. He wasn't going to leave, and I told my dad the
story. He got all upset because they threatened me and all this kind of stuff.
