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

USAF / The Black Vault · 1995 · 882 pages · text by GLM-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.

In this study four flights were made to study conditions at altitudes of 45,000 and 60,000 ft. A clock timer was set to cause release of ballast after the system had floated at the lower level for one hour. After ballast was expended the timer caused release of the ballast tank to further reduce the load on the systems. A typical flight of this series is shown as Fig. 15. Further details on this study have been given in reports on "Neutron Intensity Study"(5) by this Research Division.
