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.

MEMORANDUM FOR SAF/AA

FROM: AF/IN

SUBJECT: GAO Inquiry into Records Management Procedures Dealing with Weather Balloons, Unknown Aircraft, and Similar Crash Incidents - INFORMATION MEMORANDUM

References: (a) SAF/AA Memorandum, 1 Mar 94

(b) Telecon: Lt Col Butler/AAZ - Mr. Foley/INXA, 3 Mar 94

In response to references, the following information is provided--with answers keyed to ref a:

a. None.

b. None.

c. None, but see below for related material.

d. None.

Ref para c above. Although we possess no official records related to the subject matter, we do possess documents received from FOIA requesters that discuss the Roswell Incident which we think may be pertinent to the GAO inquiry:

a. One is a FOIA request from Dr. Neal in California. It is of particular interest in that he claims to know of a physician in California who allegedly participated in the hands-on pathological examination of four alien bodies. (Atch 1). Dr. Neal does not identify the individual.

b. There is a second document called "Synopsis of Roswell Incident." (Atch 2). In its recapitulation of the events that allegedly transpired on that day in Roswell, the synopsis cites several people who relate stories told to them by alleged eyewitnesses to the event.

We also attach a report from the National Air Intelligence Center (NAIC) at Wright-Patterson AFB OH, which summarizes its research, and that of others at WPAFB, into UFOs and the Roswell Incident (Atch 3). The NAIC report concludes that after exhaustive research there is no evidence of the existence of any relevant documents, flying saucer debris, or space aliens on WPAFB.

AF/IN's POC is Mr. M. J. Foley, x31664.
