This entry points to a National Archives Catalog series titled "Moving Images Relating to 'The Roswell Reports' Source Data Research Files, 1946-1996." The series consists of moving-image materials compiled in connection with the U.S. Air Force reports that examined claims about the 1947 Roswell incident. Those reports were "The Roswell Report: Fact Versus Fiction in the New Mexico Desert" (1994), which attributed the recovered debris to the then-classified Project Mogul balloon program, and "The Roswell Report: Case Closed" (1997), which attributed later accounts of recovered bodies to anthropomorphic crash-test dummies used in 1950s high-altitude tests. The series is held within Record Group 341 (Records of Headquarters U.S. Air Force (Air Staff)) at the National Archives. This archive links to the National Archives Catalog entry and does not self-host or read the underlying materials.
