The Roswell Report: Case Closed

US Air Force · 1997 · 234 pages · text from the file's own layer

The Roswell Report: Case Closed is a 1997 US Air Force report written by Captain James McAndrew, with a foreword by Secretary of the Air Force Sheila E. Widnall. It follows up the 1994 report, which found that the 1947 debris came from the balloon project MoGUL. It concludes that the reported alien bodies were probably anthropomorphic test dummies dropped from high altitude balloons. It attributes the hospital body claims to a 1956 KC-97 crash and a 1959 manned balloon mishap.

nurses attending to me. I also do not recall that a black NCO was present nor do I recall
any civilian men in the hospital. I do not recall that Capt Kittcnger was involved in an
altercation of any kind while we were there. After I was treated and released we all flew
back to Holloman on the helicopter.
At Holloman I was admitted to the hospital and had blood aspirated from under my scalp.
I remember my forehead drooping down, I had to use my fingers to open my eyelids, and
I had to sleep sitting up. Several days later I returned to Wright Patterson with Capt
Kittenger and Capt Kaufman. My wife met the airplane and when she saw me, she burst
into tears due to the swelling of my head, the two black eyes, and the yellow color of my
skin. When I returned to my office at Wright Patterson, my secretary also began to cry
when she saw me. After some weeks my head returned to normal size and I was returned
to flying status.
During my Air Force career I was involved in many different scientific research projects
including the space program. I can state with certainty that none of them, including the
incident described here, had anything to do with UFOs or "space aliens".
I am not part of any conspiracy to withhold or provide misleading information to the
United States Government or the American public. There is no classified information
that I am withholding related to this inquiry and I have never been threatened by U.S.
Government persons concerning refraining from talking about this matter.
