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.

## (3) Low-Frequency Transmitter (AM-1)
A low-frequency transmitter developed by the Electrical Engineering Department of New York University was adapted to replace or supplement the T-49 and T-69 transmitters. The carrier frequencies used have been in the region 1 mc to 3 mc. The schematic of this set is shown in Figure 28, as operated at 3135 kc. The output is approximately 2 watts, and a typical air-to-ground range is 300 miles, although reception of more than 450 miles has been attained by both ground and air-borne receivers.
Figure 28. Schematic diagram, AM-1 transmitter.
Information is introduced in a manner similar to that employed in conventional radiosonde transmitters: resistances are switched into the blocking-oscillator grid circuit. In the case of pressure or ballast-count, fixed resistors causing distinct blocking frequencies are used; for temperature, the switch introduces the thermistor resistances.
