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. Schiff's request and a General Accounting Office audit, and it contains Col. Richard L. Weaver's report and 1st Lt. James McAndrew's synopsis, along with attachments, appendices and photographs. The report says researchers found no evidence of an extraterrestrial craft or crew. It concludes that the 1947 debris came from a Project MOGUL balloon train.

decreasing the coefficient of coupling between the prt.&rJ and
secondary ot the IF transformers. B7 this reduction of bandwidth
to )kc a 3 microvolt signal produced a lS.S DB signal to noi15e
ratio, where at 16 kc bandwidth only 7 DB was obtained.
In order to obtain accurate r<!product1on of ·the amplitude of the
audio frequency the A,VC circuit was modified by adding a fixed
bias to the AVC diode of the receiver • This flattened the character-
istic of the AVC circnit and no change in amplitude or recorded
audio signal was detected over a six hour flight using a constant
imapl.itude audio signal from the tranamitter. The signal was
tapped ott at the output of the second detector or the receiv.er
and ted to a Brush BL 90S AC amplifier tor recording. . The recorder
used was a Brush BL-202 dottble channel oscillograph. A. quarter
wave vertical receiVing antennae was aaployed with a counter poise
ground. The transmitting antennae was a vertical halt waYe dipole.
In order to use the AM-1 tor transmission or information trom
pressure and temperature sensors a relaxation oscillator circuit
vas incorporated in the S1'8tem• (dotted section - Fig. 6). This
oscillator used one halt ot one ot the 3-AS modulator tubes and
produced a blocking rate approximately proportional to resistance
·ot the sensor instruments • This information could be superimposed
on the reg-,lar modulated signal and two types of information could
be transmitted simultaneousl7J one as • amplitude and· trequenc7
change of the basic signal, the other as a frequency or pulses
superimposed on the basic signal. ·
The AM-1 has been Ulled in balloon control research 1iO trannit
information on pressure, temperat1.tre and ballast requirements.
It was also employed to give tpformation on Neutron intensities
1h another Air Force project(5). In order to obtain information
on balloon position on a wind studT project the AM-1 was used
as a beacon to be "homed in" on by the radio compass or aircratt(6).
A system of diYersity reception was considered tor use with a
dual channel AM-1 transmitter in order to increase reliabUity
despite atmospbric noise. In the dual channel unit·a common
modulator was connected to two separate cr,yatal oscillators and
RF amplifiers. In preliminary ~sts two receiver and recording
units were used.
For short t"ange balloon fiights the AM-1 vas modified for use
with subminiature and acom type tubes. In this, the AM-2, two
2E27 tubes in parallel provide excitation for the type 9S8A RF
amplifier. A circuit diagram of this unit is .shown a" Fig. 7.
