For what it's worth, I attended New Mexico Tech (not too far north of Roswell) in the early 1980s and as part of a paranormal psychology class I wrote a paper on the Roswell Incident. For that paper I interviewed one of the physics teachers at the school WHO LAUNCHED THE WEATHER BALLOON THEY FOUND. He showed me dozens of letters he had written over the years to authors of various UFO books explaining the science project he had attached to the balloon, showing pictures of it, etc. Of course his side of the story was never printed by any of them.
