The Roswell Report: Case Closed

The Black Vault · 246 pages · text from the file's own layer

The Roswell Report: Case Closed was published by Headquarters United States Air Force and written by Capt. James McAndrew. It follows up the July 1994 report, which traced the 1947 debris to Project MOGUL balloon trains. The report says the reported alien bodies were probably anthropomorphic test dummies dropped from high altitude balloons. It also says the accounts of bodies at the Roswell Army Air Field hospital probably merged two separate events: a 1956 KC-97 crash and a 1959 manned balloon mishap.

At that time, Hynek was steadfast in his opinion that most, if not all, UFO
sightings could be resolved by applying known scientific analysis.‘73 Kittinger
said he was “flabbergasted” when, years later, Hynek appeared to reverse
his opinion and endorse extraterrestrial explanations.‘26 Hynek’s reversal
in philosophies led to numerous commercial endeavors, most notably as a
technical advisor for the science-tiction film Close Encounters of the Third Kind.
Also, based on his experience with project STARGAZER,Hynek was
familiar with balloon operations at Holloman AFB, visiting the Holloman
Balloon Branch several times. Z’ Interestingly, there is no record that Hynek,
who died in 1986, eves endorsed what is now presented as the “best evidence”
of UFOs, the so-called Roswell Incident, which was actually a conglomeration
of numerous events, some with origins in Holloman AFB launched balloons.
The Alien at the Hospital
In at least one account of the Roswell Incident, a witness claimed
he observed a “creature” walk under its own power into the hospita1.228
While the specifics of this particular sighting cannot be verified, the injury
that caused Fulgham’s head to swell, resembling the classic science-fiction
alien head, makes this account (and some others) that at first appeared to be
the work of over-active imaginations, seem possible.
