Many eyewitnesses claim that the bodies of the dead aliens were found at the site of the disaster of the object. The Department of Defense report does not explain in any way their independent testimony, which has a rather high degree of credibility due to the similarity in the descriptions of the alien bodies.
This circumstance led to the fact that in June 1997, the US Air Force published a second report on the Roswell incident, which this time focused on allegations of aliens found at the crash site.
The new report draws the following conclusions:
1) Basically, the witnesses who reported the bodies of the aliens spoke the truth;
2) but … these witnesses are wrong in time and are seriously mistaken in the details of those events. In addition, the witnesses put together several events of different times and, in any case, what they happened to see was the usual activities of the Air Force;
3) the bodies seen are test dummies housed in the probe, and the military's "unusual" activity was actually caused by the launch and retrieval operations of the high-altitude research probe;
4) the observation of witnesses who became casual eyewitnesses to the tests of two probes - one in the framework of the Mogul project and the other with test dummies - led to the problem of the Roswell incident.
Like the 1994 report, the new, awkwardly “stuffed with cotton” report turned out to be quite impressive in length. It features large print, lots of irrelevant photographs, and wide margins.

Much of the research is devoted to information on probe-related projects in New Mexico, including interviews with surviving contributors to these projects. But, just as in the preparation of the first report, other witnesses of the 1947 events were not interviewed.
In this light, the statement of the Secretary of the Air Force Sheila Widnall looks like a mockery, who wrote the following in the foreword: "Our task in this investigation was simple and consistent: to find and publish all the facts."
Next, we will consider the errors, omissions and inaccuracies made in the Air Force report. These defects are so egregious that it seems as if the report was not even viewed at the Pentagon. The main idea of the report is clear: if it shows the true side of the Roswell events, then the Air Force cannot recognize as the truth "the tales of the aliens who arrived in 1947". In other words, with such an interpretation, the Air Force is trying to solve the Roswell problem once and for all. The desire of the military to get rid of the growing pressure from ufologists gave rise to this ridiculous and absurd document.
Researchers from the KUFOS UFO Center in Chicago studied the text of the report in detail and identified at least nine errors and inconsistencies in it, which we will consider further:
1. Using false witnesses. The BBC believes Gerald Anderson is an honest witness who simply got it wrong in dates, locations and details. They lean heavily on his testimony to demonstrate the similarity between the alien bodies described by Anderson and the "anthropomorphic mannequins." At the same time, no researcher of the Roswell catastrophe considers Gerald Anderson to be an honest and trustworthy witness. Anderson deliberately falsified his phone records and diary to support his claims. Don Berliner, the first researcher to examine his evidence, wrote in early 1993 that he "lost confidence in Gerald Anderson's words."
2. Ignoring credible witnesses, in particular Frank Kaufman. Kaufman claims to have been involved in the evacuation of alien bodies while serving in Roswell. His claims have never met convincing refutation. Kaufman's testimony should have been included in the report. Most likely, they were not included due to the impossibility of refuting his interpretation of the events in which he himself participated, and about which he had written notes.
3. Ignoring your own experts. The Air Force interviewed participants in the probe tests, but they were not asked about the new theory explaining the stories about the alien bodies. Lieutenant Colonel (Ret.) Raymond A. Madson participated in the High Altitude Peak Project for 4 years. In an interview with the Associated Press recently, he said that it is simply impossible to confuse mannequins with aliens. Moreover, he noticed that each dummy had a notification of the finder of the landed probe and a tag identifying the property of the US Air Force attached to each dummy.
4. Selective use of evidence. James Ragsdale's testimony is partially used, as is a copy of his interview in the appendix. Ignored Rugsdale's description of how the object landed (emitting bright light and at high speed at night), as well as descriptions of debris that did not in the least resemble a weather balloon. The word "mannequins" he said was used in a different context in relation to the report.
5. Not a single probe fell near the site of the Roswell disaster. Only one probe landed in that area, and even then at a considerable distance from the crash site. In addition, it is highly unlikely that the witness could confuse the probe and dummy evacuation operation, which took place miles from the crash site.
6. The BBC claims that "anthropomorphic mannequins" were little known outside of academia and could easily be mistaken for something they weren't. A few pages later, the BBC notes that this research program has received widespread publicity, including in books, prominent magazines and the 1956 film At the Threshold of Space. This makes it highly unlikely that bystanders living in the state of New Mexico, known for its top-secret military installations, could attribute the probe's activities to aliens.
7. The Air Force overly relies on witnesses who actually saw the evacuation of the probe and dummies. Not a single witness to the Roswell disaster fits the Air Force theory. In fact, the probe workers, when asked about witnesses such as Gerald Anderson, cannot even remember their presence at the probe operation sites.
8. The mannequins were too big. They were about the size of an adult. This contradicts eyewitness accounts that the aliens were as short as children (about 4 feet tall).
9. The Air Force explains the story of Glenn Dennis about the aliens by the fact that he accidentally went to a hospital at the base, where an autopsy of the burned corpses of the crew, who died in a plane crash, took place, near the base. Three corpses from the crash site were taken to Bollard's funeral home, where Glenn Dennis worked. But isn't it absurd to think that Dennis (funeral director!) Could be mistaken about who or what was operated on at the hospital base?
A close examination of the report shows that it is clearly not the result of an objective and thorough investigation. One thing is clear: something happened in July 1947 that resulted in two US Air Force reports in three years. The conclusion suggests itself that the report represents another attempt by the government to get rid of the "annoying" problem, as well as its incompetence, which led to numerous errors in the report. Naturally, these mistakes will have the opposite effect and will further increase the pressure on the US government in order to disclose the truthful official information about the Roswell incident.
