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.

My opinion is that the background noise will not be seriously high unless normal traffic begins to reach such heights that it will create the same type of disturbance as the projectiles which we are considering. f) Measurements of actual sound channel transmission using a small stratosphere balloon carrying sound receivers and a radio for transmission of sound signals to a recording station should be the next step in this investigation. ## VII CONCLUSIONS it is my opinion that the stratosphere sound channel should be investigated, for it has the potentiality of military importance. I believe that its military importance depends greatly upon secrecy and that the investigation should be started in a quiet way, restricting knowledge of the purpose of the work to the smallest possible group. ## VIII REFERENCES 1.
