In July 1995 the U.S. General Accounting Office issued report GAO/NSIAD-95-187 to Representative Steven H. Schiff on its search for government records about the 1947 crash near Roswell, New Mexico. GAO found that some Roswell Army Air Field records, including outgoing messages from 1946 to 1949, had been destroyed with no stated authority. Only two 1947 records turned up: a 509th Bomb Group history and an FBI teletype. Both describe the recovered object as a radar-tracking or weather balloon.
