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.

Presently living in Southern California is one of the physicians who participated in this project. I must respect his confidentially and anonymity. He is in his mid to late 70's and is probably the last link (firsthand) to have experienced this research on the alien bodies in 1947.

In regards to any release of this subject matter, existence of this material/past research would not be exempt from mandatory disclosures under the FOIA because it would not/does not interfere with our national security nor knowledge of the above would give any other foreign country a military advantage.

Serious UFO researchers believe that the Air Force now wishes the American public, to know the truth, of the extra-terrestrial origin of the UFO phenomena, and thus are "leaking" some information out to various researchers.

Nationwide polls revealed that over 70% of our population believes in the extra-terrestrial theory; movies such as "E.T.", "Close Encounter of the Third Kind", "Hanger 18" and "Cocoon" are being released to cushion the public to the truth. Could the government/private corporation use subliminal suggestions in the above movies or possibly TV - To prepare this country eventually to the truth that UFO's and aliens exist.

Being in this field of research - specifically physiological and psychological effects suffered secondary to individuals who were allegedly abducted by aliens has increased my knowledge that we are definitely being visited by an alien race. I have enclosed for your review a brief synopsis of what occurred in and around Roswell, New Mexico in July 1947. Please review this information.

Why have I decided to write at this time This is the 45th year anniversary of UFO's - many lectures and seminars will be scheduled around the country to herald this event. Because of this, it is hopeful that through the FOIA someone sympathetic to our research efforts will release some "shocking" information for us to relay to the general public. It seems coincidental/ironic that the most prominent seminar was the MUFON 1992 International UFO Symposium on July 11-12, 1992 at the Convention Center in Albuquerque, New Mexico.
