The Roswell Report: Fact versus Fiction in the New Mexico Desert was published by Headquarters United States Air Force in 1995. The Black Vault distributes this copy. It reproduces the report by Col. Richard L. Weaver and the synopsis by 1st Lt. James McAndrew, both written after a General Accounting Office inquiry requested by Representative Steven Schiff. The Air Force search found no evidence of an extraterrestrial craft or crew. It concluded that the Roswell debris most likely came from NYU Flight No. 4, a Project MOGUL balloon train.

A: No. We were the balloonists. This was all groundbased stuff. There was also an operation in Bermuda. Then later you'll find... ## Q: Crary also initiated that? A: He was in charge of it. He was running it. They went and got a whole bunch of 500 pound bombs out of the Earl Ammunition Depot in New Jersey. Later you'll find that they did a bunch down in the Canal zone. Then eventually they went to Alaska. ## Q: This was prior to '47? A: The New Jersey, and I think the Bermuda operation, you'll find a hint in this diary I gave you, you'll find a hint about Bermuda and so on in there. He was talking about trying to measure the sky waves coming in. If you're interested, we can go extract, there's a paper in the Journal of Meteorology in something like '47. Q: I believe I have that. Is that the same one? A: No, this is by Crary. Q: Crary did quite a few publications for Red Bank and then for Cambridge Labs. A: Correct. But you'll find one, I think it's either '74 or '49. If you want we can go over to our library and make you a xerox of it. Q: I'm familiar with that one. A: It's very circumspect as far as classified matter. Q: So Peoples and Crary had Columbia University affiliation? A: Well, Watson. They were derived from Columbia. Both of them were derived... I think Peoples got his PhD under Ewing at Columbia, and Crary didn't get his doctorate until later. Q: You said Crary's ground station was Alamagordo, but he was actually doing explosions in Alaska, off Bermuda, Panama, the Jersey coast. A: In the late '46, early '47 era, he was in Alamagordo, in and around Alamagordo. He was very concerned about explosions off the Jersey coast and I think off Bermuda. The Panama Canal operation I think was not associated with Alamagordo at that time.
