CONCLUSIONS.
1. Concerted research has failed to turn up any evidence relating to the Roswell incident
or of a flying saucer(s) and/or alien(s) at Wright-Patterson. Because this conclusion is based on
the absence of documentation, the issue can never be definitively resolved. There will always
be those who say "You didn't search hard enough" or "We know you really do have the
records/saucer(s)/alien(s), but you are just not revealing them to us." It would almost be a
physical impossibility to search every desk drawer in every building on Wright-Patterson looking
for the report, if it ever existed, on Roswell-related material. HQ NAIC is convinced that no
such record currently exists.
2. Because no document has ever been found, however, leads center researchers to the
conclusion that the Roswell material, if it came to Wright-Patterson for analysis, was nothing
remarkable, certainly nothing extraterrestrial. The standard procedure for any government record
is that it is kept for some period of time, then retired or destroyed according to a general
schedule established by regulation. One might assume that a document purporting to be the true
analysis of extraterrestrial material would always be needed and, thus, would have been
preserved.
3. Because the Roswell incident occurred so long ago, now nearly 50 years ago, there
may be no record trail to follow to absolutely determine if a study had ever been conducted.
4. Despite the best efforts of UFO researchers over the years, not one scrap of physical
evidence or one incontestable photograph of either a flying saucer or an alien has ever been
found relating to the Roswell incident. Some researchers have devoted years of their lives to this
effort. Again, using an argument based on the absence of evidence, the fact that several hundred
man-years of effort have followed all of the research trails imaginable leads HQ NAIC to believe
that nothing extraterrestrial was found at Roswell.
5. The earliest UFO literature, books by Ruppelt, Keyhoe, and Menzel do not mention
the Roswell incident. Also, the Blue Book records and the Condon report do not mention the
Roswell incident, though many sightings from 1947 were investigated by this organization's
predecessors. ·
6. HQ NAIC realizes that the absence of evidence is not evidence of absence, but every
reasonable avenue of research has been exhausted without fmding evidence that a flying saucer(s)
and/or alien(s) have ever been at Wright-Patterson AFB.
7. Because the GAO will have searched the records of many federal agencies, HQ NAIC
suggests that they be contacted, or Congressman Schiff be contacted, for a comprehensive report
of their findings relating to the Roswell incident
