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.

Q: Oh, I see, you retired from the mortuary business ... A: Oh, yeah. I was in the funeral business 33 years. Q: All the time with Ballard? A: Oh no, I had my own funeral home over in Las Cruces [N.M.], and one in Soccoro [N.M.]. Q: Oh, okay. Speaking of that, do you know Norman Todd or his family? A: His dad and I took the state board together. He was at Clovis [N.M.]. Norman's his son isn't it? Q: Yeah. He's a lawyer over in Las Cruces [N.M.]. His ... A: Wasn't his dad the funeral director in Clovis [N.M.]? Q: I think so. The reason I know him is because Mike Cook, who is Steve Schiff's press secretary, and he have been friends ever since they were in kindergarten together. It turns out that Iris Todd, I guess his stepmother, is the niece of Loretta Proctor. So talk about small world. You got these calls from the mortuary officer who was asking you all these questions. We don't have to go back through all of this. Then at some point you decided to go out to the base. What took you to the base? A: At some point I didn't decide, that's not correct. Somebody . wrote that, but I don't think it's right. The way I ended up out at the base later, we had the ambulance service. The way I got it, the ambulance service, I got a call, was an airman that was hurt. I took him to the base. The best I remember, he wasn't on a stretcher or anything because we walked up the ramp and he sat up in the front seat with me. So he weren't real bad and weren't dying. Anyway... This guy walked in, I walked him in. Where I usually park the ambulance, there was a field ambulance there. I had to go back up to the front. The airman and I walked up the ramps. That's why I went to the base. Q: The hospital in those days was apparently a complex of buildings, right? A: Yeah. Kind of like Bob [Shirkey] said, like the officer's club. They're all wooden barrack types. Q: So the building that's out there now, the rehab center is a completely new building and had nothing to do with that. A2 [Bob Shirkey]: No. Think of a long walkway, like a tunnel, attached to the front of a series of... Q: I know just what you're talking about. A: ... with a little of breezeway between each building, the best I remember it. Isn't that right, Bob? 199
