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.

## --- The Public Information Office was host during the month to the Senior Air Scouts of New Mexico, and to the several groups of visiting VIP's. Several easy chairs and couches have been procured to make the Public Information Office a more comfortable place in which to entertain. The Public Information Officer and the Commanding Officer were guests of the Kiwanis Club of Roswell at a luncheon, for which Colonel W. H. Blanchard was the guest speaker. Colonel Blanchard spoke on the future of the Air Force, and the talk was very well received. Arrangements have now been made to have the P.I.O. called on all crash calls in accordance with AAF Regulation. In the past, the F.I.O. has been called too late to get to the scene in time to do any good. The 3rd Photo Laboratory Unit (VII) is now commanded by 1st Lt Harold W. Arner per paragraph 3, SO #139, Headquarters, this station, dated 18 July 1947. 1st Lt. Lewis C. Bohanan, former commanding officer of the 3rd Photo Lab Unit, was transferred to the 701st AAF BU, Hamilton Field, California. The principal difficulty reported is a critical lack of photostat paper. This has caused a large back log of important work to pile up.
