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.

On the Threshold of Space
In 1956, Twentieth Century Fox released On the Threshold of Space,
a full-length motion picture based on Air Force aero medical projects
conducted at Holloman AFB, N.M. Starring Guy Madison, John Hodiak,
and Dean Jagger, this drama chronicled the high altitude balloon experiments
of projects HIGH DivE/ExcELSIOR and the high-speed track studies conducted
by Col. John P. Stapp. Filmed on location at Holloman AFB, Air Force
personnel, high altitude balloons, aircraft, vehicles, and other equipment,
including the actual anthropomorphic dummies responsible for sightings of
aliens, were used in the making of this film.
In an ironic twist, in 1990 the television program Unsolved Mysteries,
featured a segment on the Roswell Incident. The program, hosted by actor
Robert Stack, depicted a dramatized version of the claims of "aliens," space
ships and mysterious government recovery crews. Interestingly, a review
of newspapers from 1956 announcing the Hollywood premiere of On the
Threshold of Space, listed Stack among the persons scheduled to attend this
star-studded event. 70
