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.

Transcript of Interview with Vern Maltais*
(Alleged secondhand witness to
"crash site"
175 miles northwest of Roswell)
A: ... he [the eyewitness] had been coming back from one of
his field trips, he'd run onto a flying saucer that had burst open and
· there were four beings on the ground and that he was surveying the site,
archeological group from the University of Pennsylvania, telling us that
there were about four or five people with this group.
As they were just starting too look things over really closely, the
military moved in and gave them a briefing not to say anything about it
and keep quiet and it was in the national interest to get out of there.
Q: What was his feeling about what it was that he had
experienced?
A: He had no qualms about what it was. He said it was a
vehicle from outer space. There wasn't any question. The beings on
there were nothing like, not exactly like human beings ...
Q: How did you ...
A: ... similar but not exactly.
Q: How did he describe them?
A: He described them being about three and a half to four feet
tall, very slim in stature, and with-there heads were hairless, with no
eyebrows, no eyelashes, no hair. Sort of a pear-shaped head with the top
of the head being smaller-larger, I mean.
Q: Any other characteristics about their appearance?
A: Only one thing that he mentioned. The hands were not
covered, they had four fingers.
