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.

General--Helix mounted in a rigid frame to prevent lengthwise movement or springing out through bending of a frame. Joined to motor drive by a pin through both drive shaft and helix shaft. When rotating at about 1 rpm duration of signals not over 3 to 4 seconds. Surface of helix to be polished with rouge or crocus cloth. Loading edge of the metal spiral will be true and smooth to within .0005 inch.
## (4) Motor:
6 to 7.5 volts
1 rpm gear train
20 to 40 milliamperes drain
Constant speed--change of speed during any single revolution not more than 0.3% Speed change at low temperature not more than $ \pm 20\% $
## (5) Mounting of Unit:
Mounting in such manner that temperature changes and stresses will not change the relative positions of the aneroid and the helix. This may be done by mounting all elements on a $ \frac{2}{4} $ metal plate or by mounting all parts in a frame supported on a single pedestal.
Mount unit in an easily opened, stiff single thickness cardboard or plastic box to protect it from other units in flight trains.
External terminal strip with four terminals connected to ground, motor, reference, and pressure.
Total weight not over 500 grams.
## Overall dimension not over 5 x 5 x 4 inches.
To be mounted in transmitter, where insulation will prevent cooling below $ 0^{\circ} \mathrm{C} $ within 6 hours at air temperature of $ -40^{\circ} $ to $ -50^{\circ} \mathrm{C}. $ About this file
