Fig. 2. Roswell, N.M. (pop.
37,000), boasts competing
"museums" focusing on the
Roswell Incident, including
this one, The International
UFO Museum and Research
Center.
The conclusions of the additional research are:
• Air Force activities which occurred over a period of many
years have been consolidated and are now represented to have
occurred in two or three days in July 1947.
• "Aliens" observed in the New Mexico desert were probably
anthropomorphic test dummies that were carried aloft by U.S.
Air Force high altitude balloons for scientific research.
• The "unusual" military activities in the New Mexico desert
were high altitude research balloon launch and recovery
operations. The reports of military units that always seemed to
arrive shortly after the crash of a flying saucer to retrieve the
saucer and "crew," were actually accurate descriptions of Air
Force personnel engaged in anthropomorphic dummy recovery
operations.
• Claims of bodies at the Roswell Army Air Field hospital were
most likely a combination of two separate incidents:
1) a 1956 KC-97 aircraft accident in which 11 Air Force
members lost their lives; and,
2) a 1959 manned balloon mishap in which two Air Force
pilots were injured.
This report is based on thoroughly documented research
supported by official records, technical reports, film footage, photographs,
and interviews with individuals who were involved in these events.
