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.

Fig. 8. Announcement from the November 4, 1992 Socorro (N.M.) Defensor Chieftan soliciting witnesses of flying saucer crashes in New Mexico. When former Air Force scientists responded to advise the authors that Air Force projects were most probably responsible for the UFO accounts, they were summarily dismissed by the authors who placed the announcement, and then were accused of participating in a cover-up. Fig. 9. (Left) B.D. "Duke" Gildenberg served as the civilian meteorologist, engineer, and physical science administrator for the Holloman AFB Balloon Branch from 1951-1981. Gildenberg actively participated in thousands of high altitude balloon operations, including the flights that dropped anthropomorphic dummies at off-range locations throughout New Mexico. Gildenberg, the "father" of Air Force scientific ballooning, was instrumental in identifying the many actual Air Force activities now known as the "Roswell Incident." Fig. 10. (Right) Charles B. Moore, Professor Emeritus of Atmospheric Physics at the New Mexico Institute of Mining and Technology, was the project engineer for New York University under contract to the U.S. Army Air Forces to develop high altitude balloon technology for Project MOGUL. Moore launched the balloon train on June 4, 1947, that when combined with other events, are now known as the "Roswell Incident." Authors seek UFO witnesses Co-authors of a major book on the 1947 crash of at least one alien spacecraft in the New Mexico desert will be at the Golden Manor Motel in Socorro on Monday, Nov. 16 to seek. out additional wilnesses to these events. Nuclear physicist Stanton T. Friedman and aviation/science writer Don Berliner, whose "Crash at Corona" is now in its second printing, want to meet with people having knowledge of the 1947 crashes. Their book, being published in August by Paragon House of New York, is being prepared for a made- for-TV movie. It is the story of the discovery, retrieval, shipping and cover-up of what the authors call the most important scientific dis- covery of the past thousand years. It is based on dozens of inter- views with first- and second-hand civilian and ex-military witnesses to various parts of what is referred to as a very complex series of events. In order to strengthen their case for government knowledge of what they call "the truth behind almost 50 years of UFO sightings," the au- thors are seeking out additional, reliable witnesses. It remains their policy to honor requests to keep the names of witnesses private. For more information, contact Don Berliner, 1202 S. Washington St., Alexandria, VA., 22314 (703- 548-0405); or Stanton T. Friedman, 79 Pembroke Crescent, Frederic- ton, New Brunswick E3B 2Vl, Canada (506 457-0232). Witnesses arc invited to call ei- ther author collect or to make ar- rangements to meet them at any of their stops in New Mexico, which include the cities of Santa Fe, Al- buquerque, Las Cruces, Alamo- gonJo and Roswell. Since many of the Roswell accounts and allegations were collected by irregular methods and are not specifically documented, the series of events as alleged by UFO theorists has become very complex and requires clarification. Therefore, the following section will briefly examine some of the more confusing elements of the Roswell stories, specifically, the multiple crash sites and complex scenarios, in order to facilitate an objective analysis of actual events. 9
