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.

STATEMENT OF WITNESS
Date: 25 April 1996 Place: Aztec, NM
I Frank B. Nordstrom, M.D., hereby state that James McAndrew, was identified as a
Captain, USAFR on this date at my home and do hereby, voluntarily and of my own free
will, make the following statement. This was done without having been subjected to any
coercion, unlawful influence or unlawful inducement.
I was on active duty in the US Air Force and stationed at Walker AFB, Roswell, NM from
July 1951 until June 1953. During that time I was a pediatrician assigned to the base
hospital. Following my tour of duty with the Air Force I attended the University of
Colorado as a resident in pediatrics. In July 1954 I relocated to Farmington, NM and
began a private pediatric practice. I retired from private practice in 1987 and became the
Medical Director of the San Juan Regional Medical Center, which is also located in
Farmington, NM. In 1989 I retired from that position and presently reside in Aztec, NM.
I have been shown two transcripts of interviews where an individual named Glenn Dennis
described conversations and visits he claims he had with a pediatrician in the late 1940s or
early 1950s in Farmington, NM. According to these interviews, Mr Dennis also claims that
this pediatrician had previously served at the hospital at Walker AFB/Roswell AAF. Since
I am the only physician in Farmington, NM who previously served at the Walker
AFB/Roswell AAF hospital, I believe I am the person he is referring to in these interviews.
I am confident of this because I know I was the first pediatrician to practice in
Farmington, which when I arrived in 1954, was a small community of approximately 8,000
people. I remained the sole pediatrician there for approximately 20 years and I know
most, if not all, of the physicians in the area.
Even though I believe I am the person Mr Dennis referred to in the interviews, I do not
remember him. I can state with reasonable certainty that I cannot recall any conversations
with him, and he, to my knowledge, never visited me in Farmington, NM, in Colorado, or
anyplace else. I have been told, however, that a person named Glenn Dennis operated a
drugstore in the late 1950s-early 1960s, just outside Farmington, in Aztec, NM. But I do
not recall any contact with him there either.
While I was stationed at Walker AFB, I do not recall any incidents that may explain the
information Mr Dennis provided in the interviews. To my knowledge there was only one
fatal aircraft accident during my tour of duty and that accident involved a Walker AFB
based aircraft in the United Kingdom. I was not involved in any aspect of that accident. I
also do not recall any other incidents such as automobile accidents or house fires that may
be the source of this information. Nor do I recall a nurse named Lt Naiomi Selff or a nurse
named Capt "Slats" Wilson. While at Walker AFB I did not witness or hear rumors of
anything that involved flying saucers, aliens, or anything else of an extraterrestrial nature.
I am not part of a conspiracy to withhold information from either the US government or
the American public. there is no classified information that I am withholding related to
