The Roswell Report: Fact versus Fiction in the New Mexico Desert was published in 1995 by Headquarters United States Air Force. It was written in response to Representative Steven H. Schiff's request and a General Accounting Office audit, and it contains Col. Richard L. Weaver's report and 1st Lt. James McAndrew's synopsis, along with attachments, appendices and photographs. The report says researchers found no evidence of an extraterrestrial craft or crew. It concludes that the 1947 debris came from a Project MOGUL balloon train.

(3) Low-Frequency Transmitter (AM-1)
A low-frequency transmitter developed by the Electrical Eng-
ineering Department of New York University was adapted to re-
place or supplement the T-49 and T-69 transmitters. The
carrier frequencies used have been in the region 1 me to
3 mo. The schematic of this set is shown in Figure 28, as
operated at 3135 kc. The output is approximately 2 watts,
and a typical air-to-ground range is 300 miles, although
reception of more than 450 miles has been attained by both
ground and air-borne receivers.

Figure 28. Schema tic diagram, AM-1 transmitter.
Information is introduced in a ma~~er si~ilar to that employed
in conventional radiosonde transmitters: resistances are
switched into the blocking-oscillator grid circuit. In the
case of pressure or ballast-count, fixed resistors causing
distinct blocking frequencies are used; for temperature, the
switch introduces the tr.ermistor resistances.
