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.

General Curtis E. LeMay was Deputy Chief of Air Staff for Research and Development, U.S. Army Air Forces, in 1947, and later Chief of Staff, United States Air Force, 1961-1965. As Deputy Chief of Air Staff for Research and Development, LeMay had a strong influence on the highpriority Project MOGUL (see Apps 8 and 9). He also maintained close associations throughout his career with former subordinates from World War II bombing campaigns, including Brig. Gen. Roger M. Ramey and Col. William H. Blanchard.

Brig. Gen. Roger M. Ramey was the Commanding General, Eighth Air Force, in 1947. He is alleged to have participated in the cover-up of the recovery of an extraterrestrial vehicle by substituting debris from an ordinary weather balloon for that of an alien spacecraft. In fact, General Ramey displayed the original debris recovered from the ranch, which came from a MOGUL balloon train. Ramey withheld only the components that would have compromised the highly sensitive project (see Atch 16).
