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.

Fig. 76. A witness described
at least one person at a
"crash" site wearing a pith
helmet. In the 1950s, the pith
helmet was part of the Air
Force uniform and was often
worn on balloon launches and
recoveries. In this publicity
photo from On the Threshold
of Space, Air Force members
at Holloman AFB who were
extras in the film can be seen
wearing pith helmets. (also
