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.

Q: Just inside?
A: Just kind of standing like in between the door of this room
up there. I was going down the hall. I said, "Sir, it looks like we had a plane
crash. Do I need to go in and get ready for it?"
Q: This was an officer?
A: Yeah, he was a captain. I remember the bars on his [inaudible].
He said, "Who are you?" I told him I was from the funeral home, and he said,
"Wait right there, don't move."
Then he came back, that's when the two MPs came up. When the
nurse came out, we started down the hall and that's when somebody in the back
of us said, "Bring that son of a bitch back." That's when the redheaded captain
asked where the sergeant came in right there. Then they took me on out. As I
was going down the hall, she came out of, like Bob said, out of this room, and
there was two guys in back of her, and they all had towels over their face.
She saw me and she said, "Glenn, what are you doing here? Get
out of here, you're going to get in a lot of trouble. How did you get in here?''
She said that two or three times. She was sick.
Q: This is when you were talking to that first officer?
A: Yeah. He just told the MPs to take me back to the funeral home.
Q: He had just told them that, and then she appeared at that point?
A: He told them to take me to the funeral home, and we started
down the hall, back out the hall, and that's when she came out of another
room with these other two guys. What happened, she told me the next day,
they were all sick because those little bodies were in those sacks, and two of
them were very mangled and the smell was horrible and one was whole and
two of them were very badly mangled.
Q: Did you get a whiff of that stuff yourself?
A: No, evidently not. If I would have, I would have known what
it was. I worked on a hell of a lot of stuff.
Q: In that tape you talked about working on floaters and all that
kind of stuff.
A: Youknow.
Q: I haven't had professional experience in it, but I've been
involved in it.
A: In New Mexico you've got this hot 100 degree stuff, and
you've got bodies out there two or three days, and (inaudible).
Q: This read headed guy, what was his rank, do you remember?
A: I think he was a captain. It seemed to me like he had on some bars.
