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.

of the motor-driven units was observed; current practice is to provide adequate temperature insulation.

## (4) Barograph

As a secondary pressure unit, a clock-driven barograph has been included on many flights. The instrument (shown in Figure 33)

will provide up to 40 hours of pressure data if recovered. About 70% of all those units flown to date have been recovered. The performance specifications are as follows:

(a) Rotation: one revolution every 12 hours

(b) Duration: 36 hours running time

(c) Pressure range: 500 to 5 mb.

(d) Accuracy: ±5 mb.

(e) Readability: 1.0 mb. or approximately .22 mm on the drum

(f) Weight: 1000 grams

(g) Time accuracy: 10%

(h) Temperature compensation between $ 3 0^{\circ} \mathrm{C} $ and $ - 7 0^{\circ} \mathrm{C} $

Instruments have been built by Lange Laboratories to meet these requirements (the time accuracy figure is questionable).
