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.

After this meeting Dennis claimed he never saw the nurse again, and he was told she had been shipped out the same afternoon (July 8, 1947) or the next day (July 9, 1947). $ ^{32} $ However, some time later Dennis received a letter from the nurse that indicated she was in London, England. $ ^{33} $ Dennis stated that he tried to respond to the nurse, but his letter was returned stamped "return to sender" and "deceased." $ ^{34} $ After receiving this letter, he inquired at the base about the nurse and was told by "Captain Wilson" that she didn't know where the nurse was, but there was a rumor that she and several other nurses had been killed in a plane crash while on a training mission. $ ^{35} $
Some years later, Dennis stated that he visited the unidentified military pediatrician he had seen at the hospital. $ ^{36} $ The pediatrician had since left the military and set up practice in Farmington, N.M. $ ^{37} $ Dennis said he and the pediatrician discussed the incident of years past but was stopped short when the pediatrician told him that he was consulted regarding this incident, but that "it was completely out of [his] field of medicine," then ended the discussion. $ ^{38} $
Based on this account, UFO theorists have presented the following assertions:
a. Dennis, the "missing" nurse, and the unidentified pediatrician inadvertently stumbled onto the highly classified autopsies of alien bodies at Roswell AAF hospital in July 1947.
b. The two mysterious doctors at the hospital were sent to Roswell AAF from a higher headquarters to conduct the autopsies after which the bodies were transported to what is now Wright- Patterson AFB, Ohio.
c. The bluish-purplish wreckage that looked like the bottom of a canoe in the rear of the ambulance, were "escape pods" from a flying saucer flown by the aliens that crashed in the Roswell area.
d. Dennis was forcibly removed from the hospital and threatened with death by the redheaded officer because he had witnessed some of these activities.
e. The nurse was kidnapped, possibly murdered, and all records that she ever existed were systematically destroyed by government agents, also because she witnessed these activities.
As in other accounts examined in this report, the episodes described here became part of the Roswell Incident only because the witness claimed they occurred at a very specific time, July 7-9, 1947. These dates coincide with an actual event: the retrieval of experimental Project MOGUL research equipment that was erroneously reported as a flying disc (see Section One). $ ^{39} $ If the events described here occurred at any other time—years, months, weeks, or even days before or after July 7-9, 1947—they might be considered unusual to an uninformed person, but certainly not part of the Roswell Incident.
