Result of the Search - Card Catalog and IRIS
On 3 March 1994 appropriate rubrics in the Agency's card catalog such as "Roswell,"
"Roswell AAFld," "UFO(s)," "Unidentified Flying Objects," "Weather Balloon(s)," were
examined. No entries were found which identified information remotely related to the
Roswell incident
The Agency's IRIS electronic data base was also queried for potential entries. The
following key words or phases were entered:
ROSWELL
UFO
UFOS
UNIDENTIFIED FLYING OBJECT
UNIDENTIFIED FLYING OBJECTS
WEATHER BALLOON
WEATHER BALLOONS
The IRIS search produced no documents concerned with a flying disc and/or weather
balloon crash at Roswell AAFld. The IRIS search, however, did reveal a sub-stantial file
in AFHRA microfilm roll 33,764, beginning frame 562, which is concerned with flying
disk reports in the western United States during the summer and fall of 1947. This file
was apparently maintained by the Air Force Missile Development Command. It reveals
contemporary investigative agencies, methods, and personalities both Air Force and
civilian, thus it provides archival clues for further investigation of the Roswell incident
Extracts from microfilm roll 33,764 are attached as Appendix U
Finally, a passage mentioning balloon operations from Holloman AFB during June-July
1947 was located in AFHRA I<280.10-54G, 1947-1958, Contributions of Balloon Operations
to Research and Development at the Air Force Missile Development Center, Holloman Air Force
Base, N. Mex., 1947-1950 (Holloman AFB, NM: AFMDC, n.d.), pp. 1-2 (Appendix Ill).
This passage indicates that a cluster of "rubber-type weather balloons" was launched at
Holloman AFB on 5 June 1947, the equipment from which was recovered. A second
launch of polyethylene balloons was made on 3 July, the equipment for which was not
recovered.
Aircraft or "Vehicle" Crash Reports
The AFHRA does not hold aircraft accident reports. The office of record for such reports
is the Air Force Safety Agency/SERR, Kirtland AFB, NM.
