Forward, Introduction, or Whatever In early 1994, while serving as the Director of Security and Special Program Oversight for the Secretary of the Air Force at the Pentagon, my office was tasked, along with other governmental agencies, to locate and make available any and all records to aid an inquiry that was to be conducted by the General Accounting Office (GAO) regarding what had become known in the popular literature as the “Roswell Incident.” This alleged incident, which, as the story had developed, was the claim that a “flying disc” (later “flying saucer” or Unidentified Flying Object ({…page 1
Declassification Review, wherein they reviewed and declassified millions of pages of Vietnam-era records, along with a similar effort for the POW/MIA records of that conflict; as well as records of the Gulf War Declassification project that followed that DESERT SHIELD/DESERT STORM. In short, there was no better group in the government to take on such a task of seeking out Roswell related records, wherever they might be. Ultimately, the efforts of that group, my office staff, and scores of other USAF researchers was documented in our report to the Secretary in July, 1994, and subsequently publi…

individuals, it was even alleged that I really didn’t exist; worked for the CIA; or had “disappeared” after having authored the report. Actually, I did disappear--on a normal transfer to assume duties as a commander of an Air Force Office of Special Investigations (AFOSI) Region. Contrary to the name, AFOSI spends its time investigating not UFOs, but such real world events as murder, rape, sabotage, terrorism, fraud, espionage, and other crimes--all committed to date by human beings. As I submitted my report with the Secretary, I made the logical, and as it turned out, naive, conclusion that i…

carefully documented, explained, and retrievable (contrary to the unverifiable claims of UFO authors who attributed their information to to “anonymous sources” and the use of pseudonyms by others “afraid of death by the government’). So, in this work, the reader can make his/her own analysis and check the same records and sources that Captain McAndrew used, if so inclined. Not the usual type of stuff seen in your normal, everyday government cover-up! Why spend your, my, and his tax dollars on such an effort? doesn’t such a Herculean effort in and of itself confirm that the USAF is really tryin…

INTRODUCTION In July 1994 the Director, Security and Special Program Oversight, Office of the Secretary of the Air Force (SAF/AAZ), concluded an exhaustive search for records to provide the Air Forc on response to the General Accounting Office (GAO) inquiry on what has become known as the “Roswell Incident”. The GAO initiated the inquiry at the request of New Mexico Congressman Stephen Schiff. The focus of the inquiry by the GAO was to determine if the U.S. Air Force possessed information on the alleged crash and recovery of an extraterrestrial vehicle and it’s alien occupants near Roswell, Ne…

the radar targets, an element of weather equipment, used on the long Mogul balloon train. The oddly constructed radar target, recently introduced and never before used in New Mexico, was found by a local rancher at the height of the first US flying saucer wave, and was mistaken to be a flying disc (Fig?). However, when the “flying disc” is compared to a standard radar target used by Project Mogul, it is quite obvious that they were the same object (fig. 2). Subsequent to the filing of the 1994 report, additional records were located that further explained events that were widely reported to be…

99 66 When anecdotal descriptions of the “flying saucers”, “aliens”, and the unusual Air Force activities were critically examined, it was revealed that what was described were actual Air Force activities, with one exception—the dates when the events occurred. Failure to establish the proper time frame transformed a series of actual earthly activities into the extraterrestrial “event of the millennium”. This report summarizes the subsequent research that has identified the historic Air Force projects and events that describe the alien bodies and craft in fine detail. In fact, several of the pr…

e Reports of aliens at the hospital at Roswell Army Air Field were two separate incidents. e The first incident has been identified as the processing of victims from a 1956 KC-97 accident in which 11 Air Force members lost their lives. e The second incident was a 1959 manned balloon accident in which a pilot was injured. The resultant injuries caused considerable swelling of the head; photographs of the injured pilot bear a striking resemblance to drawings of “aliens” with oversized heads. While ardent supporters of the claim of extraterrestrial recovery and governmental cover up will undoubte…
