point of view) that were reputed to be visible to some of the persons who
observed the wreckage prior to its getting to Fort Worth. This organization
reported on July 20, 1994, that even after digitizing, the photos were of insuffi-
cient quality to visualize either of the details sought for analysis. This organiza-
tion was able to obtain measurements from the "sticks" visible in the debris after
it was ascertained by an interview of the original photographer what kind of
camera he used. The results of this process are provided in Atch 33, along with
a reference diagram and the photo from which the measurements were made. All
these measurements are compatible with the wooden materials used in the radar
target previously described.
CONCLUSION
The Air Force research did not locate or develop any information that the
"Roswell Incident'~ was a UFO event. All available official materials, although
they do not directly address Roswell per se, indicate that the most likely source
of the wreckage recovered from the Brazel Ranch was from one of the Project
MOGUL balloon trains. Although that project was Top Secret at the time, there was
also no specific indication found to indicate an official preplanned cover story was
in place to explain an event such as that which ultimately happened. It appears
that the identification of the wreckage as being part of a weather balloon device,
as reported in the newspapers at the time, was based on the fact that there was
no physical difference in the radar targets and the neoprene balloons (other than
the numbers and configuration) between MOGUL balloons and normal weather
balloons. Additionally, it seems that there was overreaction by Colonel Blanchard
and Major Marcel in originally reporting that a "flying disc" had been recovered
when, at that time, nobody knew for sure what that term even meant, since it had
only been in use for a couple of weeks.
Likewise, there was no indication in official records from the period that there
was heightened military operational or security activity which should have been
generated if this was, in fact, the first recovery of materials and/ or persons from
another world. The postwar US military (or today's for that matter) did not have
the capability to rapidly identify, recover, coordinate, cover up, and quickly
minimize public scrutiny of such an event. The claim that they did so without
leaving even a little bit of a suspicious paper trail for 47 years is incredible.
It should also be noted here that there was little mentioned in this report about
the recovery of the so-called "alien bodies." This is for several reasons: First, the
recovered wreckage was from a Project MOGUL balloon. There were no "alien"
passengers therein. Secondly, the pro-UFO groups who espouse the alien bodies
theories cannot even agree among themselves as to what, how many, and where
such bodies were supposedly recovered. Additionally, some of these claims have
been shown to be hoaxes, even by other UFO researchers. Thirdly, when such
claims are made, they are often attributed to people using pseudonyms or who
otherwise do not want to be publicly identified, presumably so that some sort of
retribution cannot be taken against them (notwithstanding that nobody has been
