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.

anecdotal accounts that referred to bodies also described massive field
operations conducted by the U.S. military to recover crash debris from a
supposed extraterrestrial spaceship.
A technique used by some UFO authors to collect anecdotal
corroboration for their theories was to solicit cooperating witnesses through
newspaper announcements. For example, one such solicitation appeared in
the Socorro (N.M.) Defensor Chieftan on November 4, 1992, on behalf of

Fig. 3. An illustration of a
Project MoGUL balloon train
similar to one found on a ranch
75 miles northwest of Roswell,
N.M. in June 1947, which
contains all of the "strange"
materials described as part of a
"flying disc." Initial confusion
at Roswell AAF and delayed
identification of this equipment
was the first in a series of
unrelated events now known
as the "Roswell Incident."
