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 (5)
route, hit 48 and •.. and it's about forty some miles out in
there .•. (And no talks about the car being stolen in 1951 when the
car with the debris was stolen ••• ) ••• I would say 18 inches and
30 inches long .•. strips off the edge of it ... it was a heavy
material but it didn't have no ridges •.• it was put together with
some kind of solder like stuff .•• no bumps, no nothing in it ••• it
wasn't •.. it was about as heavy as duraluminum .•. it wasn't as
brittle .•• you could take a small piece and it was flexible ...
(then discuss the stealing of the car with a wrecker and the
material was locked in the trunk of the car. And then discuss the
break in of the house where the last of the pieces were stolen
about eight years ago ••• 1985).
DS: Was there a storm that night?"
JR: Yeah. There sure was. It was a whale of a storm.
OS: Did you hear anything unusual? Did you hear ... between the
cracks of thunder •.•
JR: Well, it lit up the sky when it came down. It lit up the
damned .•• we thought at first that it was falling star or
something. And electric lightning •.. man it was something.
DS: You heard something and you saw something ...
JR: Yeah, sure did •.. because we were laying there in the back of
the pick up ••• the whole sky lit up ••. we thought it was a star
falling.
DS: Did you then go to check it out ••.
JR: Sure did. The next day, sure did. We drove right up on it.
She picked up a piece of it and we had the jeep parked a little
ways away from there and throwed a piece of it up there somewhere
and I have tried and tried to find where she had throwed that
piece ... she had a piece but when she saw the army coming she
throwed it out ... she saw them a coming and she throwed it out ••• I
doubt that I could even go back to the place it's been so long.
(Now begin to talk about the car wreck that nearly killed him.)
Remainder of the tape is discussion about the car wreck, the
ranchers in the area, and the murder of Mrs. Ragsdale's brother.
