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.

(2) Displacement Switch The displacement principle in ballast control has been used in two different types of valves. The first of these. called the "automatic ballast valve." used a needle valve.controlling ballast flow by an aneroid capsule to which the needle was at- tached (Figure 10). The aneroid capsule was open to the at- mosphere on ascent; as the balloon began to descend to a region ot higher pressure. a minimum pressure switch was used to seal off the capsule and further descent caused ballast flow. (For details aee Technical Report No. 1. Constant Level Balloon Project. Research Division. Colle~e of Engineering, New York University, New York. N.Y •• 1948.) There are three undesirable features of this system. Greatest is the effect of temperature changes on the air sealed in the capsule. Seal-off pressure acts as a datum plane. Any in- crease from this pressure causes compression of the aneroid, and ballast flows proportionally to the difference from seal- off pres~ure. However. with changes of temperature of the entrapped air. the activation pressure of the valve changes, the floating level is thus also a function of temperature of the gas in the aneroid. -18-
