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.

Dennis Chavez (N.M.) on a

hospital in June 1960, which
was named in honor of the
senator. (U.S. Air Force photo)
The "Big Redheaded Colonel." An indication that Dennis might
have mistaken the date of actual events was that he was quoted in at least one
book as having said that the officer who threatened him in the hospital was
a big redheaded colonei.74 Research revealed that only one tall colonel
with red hair was known to have been assigned to the Walker AFB hospital.
Colonel Lee F. Ferrell was the hospital commander from October 1954 until
June 1960.75 Ferrell was 6' 1" tall and had red hair. 76
"Captain 'Slatts' Wilson." In at least two interviews Dennis
repeatedly made reference to a nurse named "Captain Wilson."77 He recalled
that "Captain Wilson", who he believed was the head nurse, was another
nurse stationed at the Roswell AAF hospital in July 1947.78 Dennis claims
he spoke to "Captain Wilson" several times in reference to the alleged
missing nurse. 79
He claims that on the day after he met with the missing nurse at
the Roswell AAF Officers' Club, he attempted to contact her by telephone
at the hospital but was told that she wasn't on duty. 80 Instead, he spoke with
"Captain Wilson." "I called the station I knew she [the missing nurse] always
worked at," Dennis said, "She was a general nurse ... I was informed that she
wasn't working that day. [Dennis then telephoned] An old girl by the name
of Wilson, Captain Wilson, and I asked her 'what happened'? She said,
'Glenn, I don't know what happened, she's not on duty.' She said she'd try
to get word to her [the missing nurse] that you [Dennis] want to talk to her."81
Later in the same interview Dennis further described Wilson. "We called her
'Slatts' Wilson who was a big tall nurse about six foot two or three-big tall
skinny gal-and we called her 'Slatts'-everybody called her 'Slatts.' She's
