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.

I didn't see the nurse, then, until the next day. After I saw her, then
I kept calling. When I got back to the funeral home I started calling, because
she was in trouble and so was I.
Q: It was the next morning after you'd been hustled out of there
that your dad came by to see you.
A: Yeah, 6:00 o'clock in the morning.
Q: He'd been called by the sheriff...
A: The sheriff went to my mother and dad's house, and at 6:00
o'clock... My dad always got up early, sat and had coffee. He was an old
carpenter and building contractor. He and George were old friends because
he used to go hunting, and dad was making gun stocks, so they were good
friends. They used to play some kind of domino games or 42, whatever you
call it. They were good friends.
Q: So the sheriff went by to see your dad ...
A: Dad said he was there at 6:00 o'clock.
Q: The sheriff came by early in the morning and then your dad
immediately came from home and came to see you.
A: After George Wilcox left, my dad came up to the funeral
home and wanted to know what I did.
Q: Did your dad say why the sheriff... Had the sheriff been
contacted by the base, or...
A: No, he just said, he was concerned about what I'd done, how
I'd got in trouble.
did I do.
Q: Do you remember what he told you about what Wilcox told him?
A: He just said George said I was in trouble at the base, and what
Q: Then after having this rude awakening, you then... Did you
call the nurse?
A: Well, yeah, this was in mid-morning. I remember I finally, I
waited until kind of, well, it must have been 9:00 o'clock or so, and I called.
I knew the work station that she always worked at. She was a general nurse.
They didn't specialize. Just orderlies and everybody was on general duty in
those days. I was informed that she wasn't there, she wasn't working. She
wasn't working that day.
Q: It was one of the other nurses that you talked to?
A: Yeah, it was an old girl by the name of Wilson., Captain Wilson. I
asked her, I said what happened? She said, "Glenn, I don't know what happened,
but she's not on duty. I'll try to get the word to her that you want to talk to her."
She was wanting to talk to me, but she was sick. She was in total shock.
