Not surprisingly, the research team found the usual number of problems in many
of the records centers (particularly St. Louis) with misfiling, lost or misplaced
documents, mismarking of documents, or the breaking up of record groups over
the years and refiling in different systems. This included, for example, a small
amount of missing "decimal files" from the 509th Bomb Group at Roswell that
covered the years 1945-1949, that were marked on the index as "destroyed." The
researchers noted that there was no pattern to any anomalies found and that most
discrepancies were minor and consistent with what they had found in the past on
similar projects.
WHAT THE ROSWELL INCIDENT WAS NOT
Before discussing specific positive results that these efforts revealed, it is first
appropriate to discuss those things, as indicated by information available to the
Air Force, that the "Roswell Incident" was not:
An Airplane Crash
Of all the things that are documented and tracked within the Air Force, among
the most detailed and scrupulous are airplane crashes. In fact, records of air
crashes go back to the first years of military flight. Safety records and reports are
available for all crashes that involved serious damage, injury, death, or a
combination of these factors. These records also include incidents involving
experimental or classified aircraft. USAF records showed that between June 24,
1947, and July 28, 1947, there were five crashes in New Mexico alone, involving
A-26C, P-51N, C-82A, P-80A, and PQ-14B aircraft; however, none of these
occurred on the date(s) in question nor in the area(s) in question.
One of the additional areas specifically set forth by GAO in its efforts was to deal
with how the Air Force (and others) specifically documented" ... weather balloon
... and other crash incidents." In this area, the search efforts revealed that there
are no air safety records pertaining to weather balloon crashes (all weather
balloons "crash" sooner or later); however, there are provisions for generating
reports of "crashes" as ground safety incidents in the unlikely chance that a
balloon injures someone or causes damage. Such records are only maintained for
five years.
A Missile Crash
A crashed or errant missile, usually described as a captured German V-2 or one
of its variants, is sometimes set forth as a possible explanation for the debris
recovered near Roswell. Since much of this testing done at nearby White Sands
was secret at the time, it would be logical to assume that the government would
handle any missile mishap under tight security, particularly if the mishap
occurred on private land. From the records reviewed by the Air Force, however,
there was nothing located to suggest that this was the case. Although the bulk of
remaining testing records are under the control of the US Army, the subject has
also been very well documented over the years within Air Force records. There
would be no reason to keep such information classified today. The USAF found
19
