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.

Fig. 72. "Their heads were hairless ... no eyebrows, no eyelashes, no hair," a likely description of Alderson Laboratories type anthropomorphic dummy. These Alderson dummies, of the same type used for Projects HIGH DIVE/EXCELSIOR, were used to test NASAs APOLLO spacecraft three-man couch at Holloman AFB, N.M. in 1965. (U.S. Air Force photo) Assessment This brief testimony suggests that the witness did not know the date of this event. It also appears that the "creatures" were seen from a distance, as evidenced by the statement, "They got nearly up to the UFO but it was close enough that you could see some creatures." The testimony also seems consistent with a description of anthropomorphic dummies as the witness stated they "didn't look like human beings." Vern Maltais "Their heads were hairless... no eyebrows, no eyelashes, no hair"120 This secondhand witness alleged that the eyewitness told him he observed "beings" from a "flying saucer that had burst open" that were "about three and a half to four feet tall, very slim ...their heads were hairless, with no eyebrows, no eyelashes, no hair" with "sort of a pear-shaped head." He also related that "the beings were ... not exactly like human beings ... similar but not exactly." He described that the hands of the beings "were not covered" ... and [they] only had "four fingers." He also related that the clothing of the beings was "one-piece and gray in color" 121 The witness concluded that ''As they [the witnesses] were just starting to look things over really closely, the military moved in and gave them a briefing to not say anything about it." Assessment This description of events also indicates that the eyewitness apparently did not closely examine the scene and was "just starting to look things over" when the military arrived. As with the previous testimony, from a distance the dummies were likely to look, as described by the witness, "not exactly like humans ... similar but not exactly." The description of the flying saucer that had "burst open" is a likely description of the dummy suspension rack that was open on the sides (see figures 74, 75, 76). The detailed descriptions of the "beings" as "about three and a half to four feet tall, very slim in stature ... their heads were hairless, with no eyebrows, no eyelashes, 59
