GUIDE FOR READERS
This publication contains two narratives: *The Report of the Air Force Research Regarding the “Roswell Incident”* by Col. Richard L. Weaver and the *Synopsis of Balloon Research Findings* by 1st Lt. James McAndrew. These are the same narratives and supporting documents that went to the Secretary of the Air Force and to the Government Accounting Office, except that a photograph section has been appended. It appears at the end of the book, after Attachment 33.
Thirty-three attachments support Colonel Weaver’s *Report*. Attachment 32 consists of Lieutenant McAndrew’s *Synopsis*, itself followed by eleven attachments and twenty-five appendices. McAndrew’s appendices reproduce the actual sources cited in his report.
The attachments to the Weaver *Report* are located by black tabs printed at the lower right-hand corner of their cover pages, whereas the attachments to McAndrew’s *Synopsis* are located by black tabs printed midway up the page. Appendices to the McAndrew *Synopsis* are identified by gray tabs which appear at the top right-hand corners of their respective cover pages (see below).
