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.

On one occasion northwest of Roswell, a local woman
unfamiliar with the test activities arrived at a dummy landing site
prior to the arrival of the recovery personnel. 68 The woman saw
what appeared to be a human embedded head first in a snowbank and
became hysterical. The woman screamed, "He's dead!, he's dead!" 69
It now appeared that anthropomorphic dummies dropped
by high altitude balloons satisfied the requirements of the research
profile. However, the review of high altitude balloon operations
revealed what appeared to be explanations for some other sightings
of odd objects in the deserts and skies of New Mexico.

Fig. 41. For the first 10
balloon flights, dummies
were placed in insulation
bags to protect temperature-
sensitive equipment.
These bags may have been
described by at least one
witness as "body bags" used
to recover alien victims from
the crash of a flying saucer.
