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.

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.” 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.”
Some years later, Dennis stated that he visited the unidentified
military pediatrician he had seen at the hospital.‘6 The pediatrician had
since left the military and set up practice in Farmington, N.M.” 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.i”
Based on this account, UFO theorists have presented the
following assertions:
a. Dennis, the “missing” nurse, and the unidentified pediatri-
cian 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 threat-
ened with death by the redheaded officer becausehe 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 MOGULresearch equipment that was erroneously reported as a
flying disc (see Section One). 39 If the events described here occurred at
any other time-year,s, 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.
