Roswell Report: Case Closed


Executive Summary


(Roswell Video) (News Release) (Copy of Report)



In July 1994, the Office of the Secretary of the Air Force concluded an
exhaustive search for records in response to a General Accounting
Office (GAO) inquiry of an event popularly known as the "Roswell
Incident." The focus of the GAO probe, initiated at the request of a
member of Congress, was to determine if the U.S. Air Force, or any
other U.S. government agency, possessed information on the alleged
crash and recovery of an extraterrestrial vehicle and its alien
occupants near Roswell, N.M. in July 1947.

The 1994 Air Force report concluded that the predecessor to the U.S.
Air Force, the U.S. Army Air Forces, recovered debris from an Army Air
Forces balloon-borne research project code named MOGUL. Records located
describing research carried out under the MOGUL project, most of which
were never classified (and publicly available) were collected, provided
to GAO, and published in one volume for ease of access for the general
public.

This report discusses the results of this exhaustive research and
identifies the likely sources of the claims of "alien bodies" at
Roswell. Contrary to allegations, many of the accounts appear to be
descriptions of unclassified and widely publicized Air Force scientific
achievements. Other descriptions of "bodies" appear to be actual
incidents in which Air Force members were killed or injured in the line
of duty.



The conclusions are:


Air Force activities which occurred over a period of many years have
been consolidated and are now represented to have occurred in two or
three days in July 1947.

"Aliens" observed in the New Mexico desert were actually
anthropomorphic test dummies that were carried aloft by U.S. Air Force
high altitude balloons for scientific research.

The "unusual" military activities in the New Mexico desert were high
altitude research balloon launch and recovery operations. Reports of
military units that always seemed to arrive shortly after the crash of
a flying saucer to retrieve the saucer and "crew," were actually
accurate descriptions of Air Force personnel engaged in anthropomorphic
dummy recovery operations.

Claims of "alien bodies" at the Roswell Army Air Field hospital were
most likely a combination of two separate incidents:

1.) a 1956 KC-97 aircraft accident in which 11 Air Force members lost
their lives; and,

2.) a 1959 manned balloon mishap in which two Air Force pilots were
injured.

This report is based on thoroughly documented research supported by
official records, technical reports, film footage, photographs, and
interviews with individuals who were involved in these events.
