The Roswell Report: Fact vs. Fiction in the New Mexico Desert

USAF / The Black Vault · 1995 · 882 pages · text by OCR

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.

Fig. 6 AM-1 Transmitter

Frequency ranges from 1.5 to 9mc can be employed with the AM-1. The modulation of the AM-1 is effected by use of a triode modulator (2-3A5) tubes) connected in series with the plate supply of a class "C" RF amplifier. Variation of the plate supply voltage of the RF amplifier caused by change in tube resistance gives amplitude modulation linear with plate voltage of the amplifier. By use of this system modulation from DC to several hundred cycles is obtained.

The receiver for this transmitter was a Hammerlund SP 400X with several modifications. In order to increase the signal to noise ratio a crystal filter was introduced into the IF amplifier circuit to narrow the bandwidth. Bandwidth was also reduced by
