The Roswell Report: Fact vs. Fiction in the New Mexico Desert

The report details an exhaustive records search and determines that material recovered near Roswell in July 1947 was consistent with debris from Project Mogul, a top-secret Army Air Forces balloon train used to monitor Soviet nuclear tests. It found no records of any cover-up, recovery of extraterrestrial vehicles, alien bodies, or unusual activity at the time that would support such claims. The document addresses popular narratives of flying discs and occupants, attributing them to misidentification and later embellishment, with no positive documentary or physical evidence supporting extraterrestrial origins. A follow-on volume, 'Case Closed,' further explains reports of bodies as conflations with high-altitude test dummies and unrelated accidents.
