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.

business, and he said Joe found my files. He said I know he went
through everything you had.
He and I had a partnership in a business, and I put up all the money
and it went sour and so we had problems.
Q: You and Stan Friedman actually made an effort to try and find
that, didn't you?
A: We went down there. The old file was right where I said it
was, it was still there. But it was, Stan will tell you, we went down in this
old basement, and I knew exactly... See, I kept files on every case that I was
involved in, murders, anything that I went to court on, that I was a witness
on, I kept all that. I called those my personal files. If I ever had to go back
with the insurance companies or anything, I had it all right there. That's why
I had those.
Q: You found the filing cabinet but there was nothing in it?
A: No. We went through it. There wasn't a thing in it. Stan and I both.
Q: They'd stripped it out, or was there other stuff in there ...
A: There wasn't anything in there.
Q: After all of that excitement, then what? Did it just kind of
evaporate?
A: It just kind of evaporated. Then of course two or three days
later, I was concerned about her because she was sick. I took her back to the
nurse's quarters and let her out. I called back the next day and they said she
wasn't on duty, and I called the next day and they said she wasn't on duty.
Then I went out there, for some reason, I don't recall. I went out there and
I asked about the lieutenant, and they said she'd been transferred out. They
said, "She was transferred out yesterday." Well, that was the day after I saw
her. They got her out the next day.
Q: Who told you she'd been transferred out?
A: I don't know. Some nurses ...
Q: It wasn't anybody that you remember?
A: No.
Q: Did they tell you where she'd been shipped to?
A: They didn't know. They said she had been transferred, and
that's all they knew.
Q: But then you heard from her subsequently.
A: About three or four weeks later. I got a card addressed to
Ballard Funeral Home. It was from her, and inside it just said, just a short
note, she said we will correspond later to see what happened to each other,
