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.

SECTION TWO
Reports of Bodies at the
Roswell AAF Hospital
This section examines the remaining portion of the Roswell
Incident claims-the reports of "bodies" at the Roswell AAF hospital.
Examinations of the various "crashed saucer" scenarios revealed
references to the Roswell AAF hospital appeared in virtually all of them.
Most of these were based on the account of one individual, W. Glenn ·
Dennis. His undocumented and uncorroborated recollections, reportedly
first related in 1989, over 42 years after the alleged Roswell Incident, are
based on activities he allegedly encountered as a mortician providing
contract services to the Roswell AAF hospital. Dennis' recollections
have, in turn, been interpreted by UFO theorists as evidence that the U.S.
Army Air Forces recovered "alien" bodies and autopsied them at the
Roswell AAF hospital in July 1947.
Dennis has been described as the "star witness" and his claims
as the most credible of the Roswell Incident. 1 This, even though his most
sensational assertions were not based on his own experiences but on
information allegedly related to him by unidentified mystery witnesses.
