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.

practice in Farmington and the Four Corners region of New Mexico.
Clouthier's confirmation that Nordstrom was the first pediatrician to
practice in the Farmington area, was based on both his frequent
professional contacts with local physicians and his experiences as a
longtime Farmington resident. 64
Although Nordstrom believed that he was the pediatrician
described, he was at a loss to explain how Dennis gained information
concerning his military and civilian employment history. In a signed sworn
statement, Nordstrom stated that he did not recall ever meeting Dennis and
had certainly never been visited by Dennis as he has claimed. One possible
source of the information is that from approximately 1958 until approximately
1961 Dennis operated a drugstore in Aztec, N.M., a small town near
Farmington where Nordstrom resides (interestingly Aztec is the location of the
original "crashed flying saucer" story, see below). However, Nordstrom also
did not recall any contact with Dennis in his capacity as a drugstore operator.

Behind the Roswell Incident?
The "Roswell Incident" story is hardly original. In 1948, a work of
fiction reportedly appeared in the Aztec (N.M.) Independent Review describing
the crash of a flying saucer with "little men" near Aztec, N.M. In 1950, Frank
Scully, a columnist for the theatrical publication Variety, published a book,
Behind the Flying Saucers, which proclaimed the story to be true. 65 Based on
