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.

of a dummy's arms and legs during tests. 145 A reference to a bandage
"around his [the crewmember's] midsection and partially over his
shoulder" 146 is a likely reference to the standard B-4 or B-5 parachute
with chest and shoulder straps worn by the dummies. 147
The "Craft." In what appears to be a clear reference to a balloon,
was that when he saw the crashed vehicle he "thought it was a blimp." 148
Additional descriptions of cables that "went from one kind of a package
of components to another kind of package" and a "metal box" were likely
references to the balloon control package that was positioned on top of the
dummy suspension rack. 149 A further reference to a balloon payload is the
statement that on a hot New Mexico day the crashed vehicle was "ice cold,
it felt like it just came out of the freezer." 150 This accurately describes a
physical condition known as "cold soaking" common to high altitude
payloads that had recently been exposed to sub-zero temperatures of the
upper atmosphere.
Military Aircraft. The witness also described two aircraft of the
same type used for anthropomorphic dummy recoveries as having been
involved in the activity he witnessed. One aircraft was described as a "C-47"
and another as an "observation aircraft...a high-winged aircraft." 151 These
were a C-47 and a L-20 aircraft used extensively by the Balloon Branch
during the mid 1950s for tracking and recovering anthropomorphic dummy

Holloman AFB crews to track
and recover anthropomorphic
dummies. (U.S. Air Force photo)
Fig. 78. Described as present
at a flying saucer "crash" site
was a C-4 7 aircraft. This is
a probable reference to a U.S.
Air Force C-47 transport
aircraft used to move
equipment to launch sites
distant from Holloman AFB.
These aircraft were also used
for aerial tracking of high
altitude balloon flights
including those that flew
anthropomorphic dummies.
