This Black Vault compilation contains a September 1997 reply from the Office of the Assistant Secretary of Defense to John Greenewald's FOIA request, enclosing its UFO records. The enclosures include a Navy information sheet dismissing the Philadelphia Experiment and an Air Force UFO fact sheet listing 12,618 Project Blue Book sightings, 701 of them unidentified. They also include the National Academy of Sciences review endorsing the University of Colorado report and the concluding pages of a 1994 Air Force Roswell report attributing the wreckage to Project MOGUL.

who are said to have known all about MOGUL, apparently did not compare the
descriptions of the suspect debris with that of the components of a Project MOGUL
balloon train. MOGUL reports and documents that contain descriptions, illustrations, and
photographs have been publicly available for at least twenty years. Had the researchers
completed even a cursory comparison, they would have found that the materials were
suspiciously similar; detailed examination would have shown them to be one and the
- same. In the final analysis, it appears these individuals have pursued the convenient red
herring provided by Roswell Anny Airfield, while the real explanation lay just over the
Sacramento Mountains at the MOGUL launch site in Alamogordo.
This repon explains the events that transpired in and near Roswell, .New Mexico, in the
summer of 1947. It is based on written documentation and first-hand accounts of
participants, all of which are provided here in their entirety. While these answers are not
as titillating as tales of uneanhly craft and creatures, it is a fascinating story nonetheless.
