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.

Fulgham recalled that upon his return to work at the Aero Medical
Laboratory he received reactions of “immediate compassionate sympathy”
from persons he encountered, including his secretary, who cried when she
saw him.239Within several weeks, Fulgham returned to flying status with
no permanent effects. Fulgham went on to complete a distinguished career
in the Air Force and retired as a colonel in 1978. Fulgham’s assignments
included combat tours in fighter aircraft in both Korea and Vietnam, as well
as an assignment as an experimental parachutist and physiologist for the
space program.
Summary
In this section, documented research revealed that the reports of
“bodies” at the Roswell AAF hospital were grossly inaccurate and most
probably had origins in actual Air Force mishaps. Examinations of official
records of the alleged primary witnesses revealed that the “missing nurse”
was never missing, and the pediatrician did not arrive at the Walker AFB
hospital until 195 l-four years afrer the alleged incident. The many
fundamental errors in the story, combined with the substantial similarities to
the actual mishaps, show that the most credible account associated with the
“Roswell Incident” is certainly not extraterrestrial and is unrelated to any
events that occurred in July 1947.
