Unidentified flying objects -- Sightings and encounters -- New Mexico -- Roswell
Although MOGUL components clearly accounted for the claims of “flying
saucer” debris recovered in 1947, lingering questions remained
concerning anecdotal accounts that included descriptions of “alien”
bodies. The issue of “bodies” was not discussed extensively in the 1994
report because there were not any bodies connected with events that
occurred in 1947. The extensive Secretary of the Air Force-directed
search of Army Air Forces and U.S. Air Force records from 1947 did not
yield information that even suggested the 1947 “Roswell” events were
anything other than the retrieval of the MOGUL equipment.[2]

Subsequent to the 1994 report, Air Force researchers discovered
information that provided a rational explanation for the alleged
observations of alien bodies associated with the “Roswell Incident.”
Pursuant to the discovery, research efforts compared documented Air
Force activities to the incredible claims of “flying saucers,” “aliens”
and seemingly unusual Air Force involvement. This in-depth examination
revealed that these accounts, in most instances, were of actual Air
Force activities but were seriously flawed in several major areas, most
notably: the Air Force operations that inspired reports of “bodies” (in
addition to being earthly in origin) did not occur in 1947. It appears
that UFO proponents have failed to establish the accurate dates for
these “alien” observations (in some instances by more than a decade)
and then erroneously linked them to the actual Project MOGUL debris
recovery.
This report discusses the results of this further research and
identifies the likely sources of the claims of “alien” bodies.
Contrary to allegations that the Air Force has engaged in a cover-up
and possesses dark secrets involving the Roswell claims, some of
the accounts appear to be descriptions of unclassified and widely
publicized Air Force scientific achievements. Other descriptions of
bodies appear to be descriptions of actual incidents in which Air Force
members were killed or injured in the line of duty.
The conclusions of the additional research 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 probably
anthropomorphic test dummies that were carried aloft by U.S. Air
Force high altitude balloons for scientific research.
