Project Mogul, Flight 4 and the Air Force Answer to Roswell
Project Mogul was a Top Secret programme of balloon trains built to detect Soviet nuclear tests. In 1994, answering a congressman's request, the Air Force named its Flight 4 as the most likely source of the debris found near Roswell in 1947, and in 1997 it explained the stories of bodies as test dummies. This investigation reads the reports, the GAO search, Albert Crary's journal and the critics.

The Roswell Press Release and the Flying Disc That Lasted a Day
On 8 July 1947 Roswell Army Air Field announced that its intelligence office had recovered a flying disc from a New Mexico ranch; within hours the Eighth Air Force in Fort Worth said it was a weather balloon and radar target. Since the late 1970s the release has been read as the truth and the balloon as a cover. This investigation reads the release as printed, the rancher's account, the later affidavits and the official reports.
