USAF in September, 1947, the USAF inherited equipment, personnel, records,
policies, and procedures from the AAF. In this particular case, the Air Force also
inherited the allegation that it had "covered up" the "Roswell Incident" and has
continued to do so for the next 47 years.
Within the Air Force, the Office of the Administrative Assistant to the Secretary
of the Air Force (SAF I AA) is responsible both for information management
procedures (SAF I AAI) and security policy and oversight (SAF I AAZ). Because of
this organization, SAF I AA was the logical entity to assist the GAO in its audit,
and SAF I AAZ was officially named a~ the Central Point of Contact for this
endeavor (Atch 4). Subsequently, the then-Administrative Assistant, Mr. Robert
J. McCormick, issued a tasking memorandum dated March 1, 1994 (Atch 5), to a
number of current Air Staff and Secretariat offices that might possibly have
records related to such an incident if, indeed, something had actually occurred.
This search for records was purposely limited to· Air Force records and systems
since:
(a) The Air Force had no authority to compel other agencies to review their
records;
(b) The Air Force would have no way to monitor the completeness of their
efforts if they did; and
(c) the overall effort was the task and responsibility of the GAO-not the Air
Force.
During the in-briefing process with GAO, it was learned that this audit was,
indeed, generated at the specific request of Congressman Steven Schiff of New
Mexico. Earlier, Congressman Schiff had written to the Department of Defense
Legislative Liaison Office for information on the "Roswell Incident" and had been
advised that it was part of the former UFO "Project Bluebook" that had previ-
ously been turned over to NARA by the Air Force. Congressman Schiff subse-
quently learned from NARA that, although they did, indeed, have the "Bluebook"
materials, the "Roswell Incident" was not part of that report. Congressman Schiff,
apparently perceiving that he had been "stonewalled" by the DoD, then generated
the request for the aforementioned audit.
It is within this context that the following research and assistance efforts were
conducted in support of the GAO. This report is intended to stand as the final
official Air Force response regarding this matter.
THE "ROSWELL INCIDENT"-WHAT WAS ORIGINALLY REPORTED IN 1947
The modem preoccupation with what ultimately came to be called Unidentified
Flying Objects (UFOs) actually began in June, 1947. Although some pro-UFO
researchers argue that sightings of UFOs go back to Biblical times, most research-
ers will not dispute that anything in UFO history can compare with the phenome-
non that began in 1947. What was later characterized as "the UFO Wave of 1947"
began with 16 alleged sightings that occurred between May 17 and July 12, 1947
