The Roswell Report: Case Closed

Guide For Readers
This publication contains the complete report as submitted to
the Secretary of the Air Force. The exceptions are the statements found in
Appendix B. Due to Privacy Act restrictions and by request, the addresses
of the individuals making these statements have been deleted.
This volume is divided into two sections, eight subsections,
eleven sidebar discussions, and three appendices. Section One examines
alleged events at two locations in rural New Mexico. Section Two
examines the alleged activities at the Roswell Army Airfield Hospital.
Appendix A is a table listing the launch and landing locations of
test equipment for U.S. Air Force scientific research projects HIGH DIVE
and ExcELSIOR. Appendix B is a collection of signed sworn statements
based on in-person interviews conducted for this report by U.S. Air Force
researchers. The exception is the statement of Lt. Col. William C.
Kaufman, which was not sworn due to equipment failures at the time
of interview.
Appendix C contains transcripts of interviews of alleged
witnesses presented by UFO theorists. The interviews of Gerald Anderson,
Alice Knight, and Vern Maltais were excerpted in their entirety from
unedited interviews used to prepare the video, Recollections of Roswell,
Part II ( 1993 ), and appear courtesy of the Fund for UFO Research. The
interview of Mr. W. Glenn Dennis was provided by the interviewer, Karl
T. Pflock. The transcript of the interview of Mr. James Ragsdale was
provided by Kevin Randle, the coauthor of the Truth About the UFO
Crash at Roswell (Avon Books, 1994), in which direct quotes from this
transcript appear.
A selected bibliography of technical reports and how to obtain
them are found on page 221. For additional information on this subject,

Fiction in the New Mexico Desert (Washington D.C.: U.S. Government
Printing Office, 1995).
