The Roswell Report: Fact versus Fiction in the New Mexico Desert was published in 1995 by Headquarters United States Air Force. It was written in response to Representative Steven H.

b. The construction by the contractor of an experimental air borne radio and associated air borne or grol:lnd receiving eqJipment which will transmit and receive information from a mechanical movement introduced into the radio circuit. The weight of the pick up device and any required power npply to be carried in the balloon will not be' over 2 lbs. 2. c. The contractor will fly the balloons, track them, and collect the data on pressure and temperature to be transmitted as the balloon goes up and at periodic intervals at flight altitude. These intervals to be determined by consulta- tion, The accuracy is to be comparable to that of the standard Army Radiosonde. d. Interpretation of Meteorological data in connection with project. Five copies ·Of reports of design and development phases were to be delivered at monthly intervals. Results of meteorological studies were to be transmitted as completed to the sponsoring agency for use of Air Force scientific personnel. On 27 February 1948, Modification #l revised the number of copies of reports to be .fumished to 2$.
