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.

## III g) Conclusions and Recommendations.
It is believed that a balloon can be kept at nominal constant altitude between 10 and 20 km. for six hours using a non-extensible envelope with the addition of a ballast valve to keep the balloon near its pressure altitude. The flying of a balloon thus equipped is our main objective. The work to date has been primarily preparatory but it is believed that plastic balloons can be flown in the early summer with a payload.
Additional work space is urgently needed at New York University if significant work is to come from this group.
It is believed that the ideal launching area for balloons of this type is Lehigh University, Bethlehem, Pa. as long as this is feasible, For large balloons it is believed that the Navy people at Lakehurst can best facilitate the launching. Calm winds are essential for actual launching.
## Future Work
General Mills is making large balloons from lightweight films that would meet our specifications with the exception that they cannot take any internal pressure. It is believed that their balloons should be investigated as General Mills appear to be the best source of supply for large balloons. An order will be placed with them as soon as they furnish a quotation.
As a stop-gap device before these might arrive it is planned to fly two 35,000 cu.ft. racing type as well as the 2 Japanese balloons from Dakehurst, N. J. carrying payloads with heavy duty power supplies for the radio transmitters.
In the meantime, improved clusters of meteorological balloons will be flown until larger balloons are available.
