On July 8, 1947, the US Army Air Forces (commander Blanchard, Roswell AAF/New Mexico) announced the capture of a "flying saucer". Soon after the US Army Air Forces (commander Ramey, Forth Worth AAF/Texas) declared the debris as the remains of a weather balloon. Thirty years later intelligence officer Jesse Marcel confessed the crash of a UFO (flying saucer then). Three UFO researcher teams (Moore/Berlitz, Randle/Schmitt, Friedman/Berliner) confirmed Marcel's testimony on the basis of a great number of witnesses. 1994 the congress carried out an archive search for documents possibly related to the incident, whatever it was, with no results except that Roswell AAF documents regarding the period 1947 – 1949 were missing and the obligatory documentation on their deletion not found. The US Air Force at once undertook an own archive search with the result of only one document (teletype) found, and claimed "no indication" of a UFO crash but "most probably" a crash of a balloon train in connection with Project Mogul. 1997 the US Air Force repeated this result, declared the memory of the witnesses unreliable and "Case Closed". UFO researcher criticized this as unfounded and incorrect. The dispute goes on
