This July 1994 Department of the Air Force package, from SAF/AAZ to the Secretary of the Air Force, covers a report written to support a General Accounting Office audit requested by Congressman Steven Schiff. The Air Force searched its offices, archives and records centers and interviewed witnesses, including Sheridan Cavitt. It found no evidence of an extraterrestrial event, alien bodies or a cover-up. It concludes that the debris recovered near Roswell in 1947 most likely came from a Project MOGUL balloon.

DEPARTMENT OF THE AIR FORCE
WASHINGTON OC 20330-1000
MEMORANDUM FOR THE SECRETARY OF TilE AIR FORCE
FROM: SAF/AAZ
1720 Air Force Pentagon
Washington, DC 20330-1720
SUBJECT: Report of Air Force Research Regarding the "Roswell Incident"
JUL 2 7 19~·M
Attached is a report prepared in support of a General Accounting Office (GAO) audit that
is seeking to identify information concerning the "Roswell Incident." The report documents the
considerable effort expended by numerous Air Force offices and personnel in this matter.
The Air Force efforts did not identify any indication that the "Roswell Incident" was any
type of extraterrestrial event or that the Air Force has engaged in a 47 year conspiracy or "cover-
up" of information relating to it. Therefore, it is assumed that pro-UFO groups will strongly
object to the attached report and denounce it as either shortsighted or a continuation of the
"cover-up" conspiracy. Nevertheless, the attached report is a good faith effort and the first time
any agency of the government has positively responded officially to the ever-escalating claims
surrounding the Roswell matter.
