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.

This data assumes a constant temperature (-60 $ ^{\circ} \mathrm{C} $ ) above 65,000 ft., and below that altitude is based on representative pressures and temperatures taken from Washington, Albuquerque, Pittsburgh and Lakehurst soundings.

Individual variations from season to season, and from station to station may be noted in the graphs at the left of Figures 19 and 20. These variations are at most about 10%.
