related to unidentified flying objects and/ or the crash of a weather balloon near the base
in the June/July 1947 time frame. The results of this search were as follows:

of Public Affairs and "flying disc" activities

Company (Aviation)
603rd Air Engineering - Nothing in unit history for Feb-Nov 1947 (SQ-ENGR-603-
Sqdn HI, Feb-Nov 1947).
It should be noted that the period from approximately 1946 to 1950 is the least well
documented era in the Air Force's unit history program. During this time of drastically
reduced forces and peacetime concerns, major unit histories were frequently thin and
their content sketchy at best Small units, especially support units, frequently did not
submit histories at all dUring the 1946-1947 period. Although we cannot be absolutely
sure that the histories marked "no holding" in the above list were never written, it
appears virtually certain that they were not, in fact, ever created. H written, there is
good evidence through accessioning and microfilming records that the Agency never
received those indicated as absent from the AFHRA collection.
Result of the Search - Base Histories
On 3 March 1994 the Agency's files of Roswell AAFld histories for June/July 1947 were
examined. These base or installation histories are designated AFHRA 288.17-28, Roswell
AAFld Histories, Jan 1946-Dec 1947 (3 vols). These histories amount to approximately
two linear inches and are largely concerned with administrative matters (number of
