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.

tuel~ usually give a coating Which is too coarse grained and heavy. In smoking the drum a long rod is used as a rotating axis. The drum is ro- tated rapidly in the flame so as to prevent overheating and oxidizing of the foil. The car- bon should not be so thick as to obscure the metallic appearance of the aluminum foil. (e) Calibrate the barograph for pressur~. The in- strument is placed in a bell jar and the air evacuated. The pressure is kept constant at a number of pressures so that as the drum turns a step, record is made on the -.>ked foil. Pressure recording starts at about 500 millibars so the first level in the calibration should be at that value. At each level the pressure should be kept constant for three to five minutes in order to obtain a measurable line. Great care and consid- erable practise are required to control the valves of the vacuum system so that the pressure does not change noticeably during each step. -~~, The pressure ~teps at which the barograph 18 cali- brated may be either at regular pressure intervals . or at the pressure values corresponding to regular height intervals according to the standard at- mosphere figures. The recommended steps are listed below. If the balloon is not expected to go to the higher altitudes, the calibration may be stopped at correspondingly higher pressures.

The temperature calibration may be made by recording two widely spaced temperatures, s.uch as room tem- perature and the temperature of dry ice (-78°C). This celibration will be approximately a straight line and, therefore, two points are sufficient to plot the curve. -68-
