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.

Assessment
This brief testimony suggests that the witness did not know
the date of this event. It also appears that the "creatures" were seen from
a distance, as evidenced by the statement, "They got nearly up to the
UFO but it was close enough that you could see some creatures." The
testimony also seems consistent with a description of anthropomorphic
dummies as the witness stated they "didn't look like human beings."
Vern Maltais
"Their heads were hairless... no eyebrows, no eyelashes, no hair"120
This secondhand witness alleged that the eyewitness told him
he observed "beings" from a "flying saucer that had burst open" that
were "about three and a half to four feet tall, very slim ...their heads were hairless,
with no eyebrows, no eyelashes, no hair" with "sort of a pear-shaped head." He
also related that "the beings were ... not exactly like human beings ... similar but
not exactly." He described that the hands of the beings "were not covered" ... and
[they] only had "four fingers." He also related that the clothing of the beings
was "one-piece and gray in color" 121 The witness concluded that ''As they [the
witnesses] were just starting to look things over really closely, the military moved
in and gave them a briefing to not say anything about it."
Assessment
This description of events also indicates that the eyewitness
apparently did not closely examine the scene and was "just starting to look
things over" when the military arrived. As with the previous testimony, from
a distance the dummies were likely to look, as described by the witness, "not
exactly like humans ... similar but not exactly." The description of the flying
saucer that had "burst open" is a likely description of the dummy suspension
rack that was open on the sides (see figures 74, 75, 76). The detailed
descriptions of the "beings" as "about three and a half to four feet tall, very
slim in stature ... their heads were hairless, with no eyebrows, no eyelashes,
