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.

pending upon the speed or rotation of the mo-
dulator motor. The pressure signal appears
at any point along the record between or over-
lapping the references depending upon the pressure.
A sample record of this sort is shown in Figure 32.
The Olland cycle acts as a ~itching unit for the
test oscillator (see Figure 33) whose agnal· is fed
into the Brush amplifier and finally to the recorder.
By adjusting the resistors in the test circuit,
the frequency ot oscillation may be adjusted. Since
within the usual range, the frequency of oscillation
is approximately additive when the two signals over-
lap. the suggested frequencies are about 4 cycles per
second for pressure and 8 cycles per second for refer·
ence. When overlapping signals are being recorded
the frequency will be about 12 cycles per second
which is easily recognizable on the record.
The calibration of the modulator unit should be
in steps of 25 to 30 millibars in order to have
at least three points within each turn of the
helix.
Evaluation of the record is accomplished with
the aid of a nomogram divided into 100 equal
parts. The record is laid on the nomogram with
the leading edge of the first reference on the
zero line and the leading edge of the second
reference on the lOOth line. The position of
the leading edge of the pressure signal is then
read to the nearest third of a division on the
nomogram. If one complete turn of the spiral
represents 75 millibars, it is thus possible
to read the pressure to an accuracy of one-
three-hundreth of 75 or about one-quarter milli-
bar.
In evaluating the record the tape should be kept
parallel to the horizontal lines on the nomogram
or perpendicular to the zero line in order to
avoid errors in ir..terpretation.
The total motion of the pen arm of the modulator
is normally 12 to 14 turns of the spiral. Therefore,
there will be the same number of points at which
the pressure and reference signals overlap. The
calibration curve (Figure 34) is drawn to show
pressure from zero to surface pressure (about
-57-
