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.

# GUIDE FOR READERS

This publication contains two narratives: The Report of the Air Force Research Regarding the "Roswell Incident" by Col. Richard L. Weaver and the Synopsis of Balloon Research Findings by 1st Lt. James McAndrew. These are the same narratives and supporting documents that went to the Secretary of the Air Force and to the Government Accounting Office, except that a photograph section has been appended. It appears at the end of the book, after Attachment 33.

Thirty-three attachments support Colonel Weaver's Report. Attachment 32 consists of Lieutenant McAndrew's Synopsis, itself followed by eleven attachments and twenty-five appendices. McAndrew's appendices reproduce the actual sources cited in his report.

The attachments to the Weaver Report are located by black tabs printed at the lower right-hand corner of their cover pages, whereas the attachments to McAndrew's Synopsis are located by black tabs printed midway up the page. Appendices to the McAndrew Synopsis are identified by gray tabs which appear at the top right-hand corners of their respective cover pages (see below).

McAndrew Appendices

Choosing to distinguish attachments and appendices from each other by using separate colors and placements for the tabs has been done to avoid creating ambiguity in repaginating the original source material reproduced here. Because many of the attachments and appendices appeared in previous publications and were integrally numbered there, their original pagination has not been changed for the purposes of this report. Additionally, any blank pages appearing in these source documents, though
