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: How did Stan come to find you?
A: One of the guys that I went to school with, high school, and
Captain Harry Blake, he's a general now, (inaudible).
Q: Is he still on active duty?
A: No, he's retired. He was just a general in the military
school, National Guard, I don't know. He never was really a good friend
of mine. We lived across the street from each other when we were kids.
So that's how Stan found you. He was the first guy to talk to you.
A: Bob Shirkey brought him up there to see me.
(Pause)
Q: There's a reference in here to you having some years later,
I think, talked to a pediatrician that you knew? A guy that was stationed ...
A: I can't find his picture, and I don't remember his name. I ran
into him when I was fishing up in Colorado and we ran into each other.
Q: This was a guy who was at that time stationed here?
A: He was here, and they called him in. He said that was out
of his field and he didn't want anything to do with it.
Q: They actually called him in and asked him to take a look at
what had been retrieved or...
A: He said they called him in. I don't know. He said, "But I
said that was out of my field and I didn't want anything to do with it."
That's what he told me, now.
Q: Did you get the sense that he knew more than he was telling?
A: I would say so, yeah. I'm sure they did. A lot of those
guys out there did.
Q: You don't remember his name?
A: I don't remember it. But I did run into him. Somewhere
I've got his name.
Q: Have you talked with anyone else? Had you during that
time before you got into all this ...
A: No, I wouldn't have even talked to him about it. He
brought it up and wanted to know whatever happened on the UFO
business.
Q: It was at his initiative.
A: I didn't bring it up. I told him I didn't know any more
about it than he did. He said well that was strictly out of my field, and I
didn't want to get involved in it. That was about it. But he brought it up.
I didn't ask him.
