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.

Tethered Balloons. The Holloman Balloon Branch, in addition
to high altitude research activities, also conducted low altitude tethered
balloon flights. It appears that descriptions of these balloons may have
become part of the "Roswell Incident."
Most standard shaped tethered balloons are readily identified
when near the ground or when the tether is visible. Other experimental
