The Roswell Report: Case Closed is a 1997 Headquarters United States Air Force report by Captain James McAndrew that follows up the 1994 Air Force report on the Roswell Incident. It concludes that the 1947 debris came from Project MOGUL balloons. It also says the reported alien bodies were probably anthropomorphic dummies dropped from high altitude balloons. Claims of bodies at the Roswell hospital most likely combined a 1956 KC-97 crash and a 1959 manned balloon mishap.

# 1.4 Comparison of Witnesses Accounts to U.S. Air Force Activities Were they aliens or dummies? This question can be answered by comparing witness testimony and the Air Force projects of the 1950s, High DIVE and EXCELSIOR. Both of these projects employed anthropomorphic dummies flown by high altitude balloons and appeared to satisfy the requirements of the previously established research profile: a. An activity that if viewed from a distance would appear unusual. b. An activity for which the exact date was not likely to have been known because many dummies were dropped over a six-year period (1953-1959). c. An activity that took place in many areas of rural New Mexico. d. An activity that involved a type of aerial vehicle with dummies that had four fingers, were bald and wore one-piece gray suits. e. An activity that required recovery by numerous military personnel and an assortment of vehicles that included a wrecker, a six-by-six, and a weapons carrier. The testimony used in the following comparison, an undocumented mixture of firsthand and secondhand re-countings, are the actual statements, not the interpretations of UFO proponents, that are presented to "prove" the Earth was visited by extraterrestrial beings and the U.S. Air Force has covered up this fact since 1947. This comparison is augmented by references to photographs whenever possible to illustrate the undeniable similarities between the descriptions provided by the witnesses and the equipment and methods employed by the Air Force projects.
