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: Did she tell you that later, that she was sick?
A I knew she was sick. She came out with that towel. She said,
she and the two doctors were sick. Then at the Officers' Club, she said I
want to know what happened to you, and I'll tell you what happened to me.
The only way we ever got to the Officers' Club, the old regular group said
you don't go anywhere, you keep your mouth shut. [inaudible] said that.
The old group, they would have known us. It probably wouldn't have
mattered. But these people, hell, these people didn't know us. And of course
I had a pass, and I had an associate membership to the Officers' Club, the
funeral home did, so I could go as I pleased. I had free access to the base.
Q: Did you meet her at the club?
A: She said she'd meet me over there. She was sick. She said
I'll meet you there.
Q: When you got there, she was at the club?
A: She was walking up when I drove up. She walked over. It
wasn't very far from the hospital.
Q: She walked from the hospital or...
A: From the nurse's quarters.
Q: Let me back up to the event with the MPs. They physically
hustled you out of the hospital.. ..
A: Well, they didn't carry me out, they said, "Come on, we're
taking you back," one on each side. They didn't have their hands on me or
forcing me.
Q: I've forgotten which one of the accounts has them lifting you
right off your feet and all that kind of stuff.
A: No. They may have got me by the elbow, but that was that.
They were nice guys. They were doing what they were told to do.
Q: They got you to the ambulance. Did they follow you back to
the funeral home?
A: One followed me in a pickup and the other one sat in the seat
with me.
Q: Oh, I see, he actually rode with you in the ambulance.
A: He rode with me, and the other one drove a pickup and picked
him up. They had a pickup.
Q: Did the guy riding with you say anything about what was going on?
A: He said he didn't know what was going on. That was the first
thing I said, "What in the hell's going on?" You know. He said, "You know
more about it than we do," something similar to that. I don't know the exact
words, but he didn't know anything.
