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.

RAGSDALE - JANUARY 26, 1993 (4)
was sticking out of the ground ••• about like that (DS: about a 30
degree angle?) Yeah ••• and I'm sure that was bodies ..• either
bodies or dummies •••
DS: Why do you say dummies?"
JR: The federal government could have been doing something
because they didn't want anyone to know what this was ... they was
using dummies in those damned things ••• they could use remote
control.
OS: So you thought that it could have been an experimental craft?
JR: After I came to down showed Frank Willis and his son (he's
dead) ••• the Blue Moon beer joint over on the old Dexter highway.
We was there until two o'clock in the morning ... ! had the jeep
behind my car.
DS: Did you still have the scrap in the jeep?
JR: Yeah. I showed it to him. He said I would just keep my mouth
shut •.• he said hell there is no telling where that come from.
OS: So you didn't think it was from outer space?
JR: No. We didn't even think about outer space back then .•.
DS: When was the first time that you thought that maybe this was
something more?
JR: It was about three weeks ..• it came out that a spaceship had
crashed at Roswell ..• about three weeks. But it could have been
out longer than that there but see I worked in Carlsbad ...
DS: But you first saw there had been a newspaper article about
three weeks after .•.
JR: Oh hell it was two or three weeks before I caught up on
it ..• a spaceship ..• what I hear is they guarded that place for a
long time out there .•• because me and another fellow went out
there and you couldn't get ••• they had the roads sealed off ... it
was a month or so after •••
OS: And they still had it cordoned off.
JR: The MPs and stuff were still on the road. They wouldn't let
nobody go out there ...
OS: If a person were to drive out there today ... going north out
of town ••• are we talking 285?
JR: No. Righway 48. You go out 48. You go out here to the truck
