The Roswell Report: Fact versus Fiction in the New Mexico Desert was published in 1995 by Headquarters United States Air Force. It was written in response to Representative Steven H. Schiff's request and a General Accounting Office audit, and it contains Col. Richard L. Weaver's report and 1st Lt. James McAndrew's synopsis, along with attachments, appendices and photographs. The report says researchers found no evidence of an extraterrestrial craft or crew. It concludes that the 1947 debris came from a Project MOGUL balloon train.

SC: Yes, I guess you could say that. I was the only commissioned officer. I had two enJisted
agents "working for me" quote end quote.
RW: Who were the enlisted agents that worked for you?
SC: The senior was a Master Sergeant by the name of Rickett and the young agent, Jack
Williams. I later had some other people working for me after CIC deceased and OSI took over
for the Air Force... the investigative agency.
RW: That actually came, I think, in September when the Air Force first stated. You were one of
the charter members of OS I, as I understand?
SC: Yeah, over from CIC and OSI; and then I went to OSI school later.
RW: You reported through your chain of command? You didn't report to General Blanchard,
the Base Commander? You reported like we did in OSI through the separate chain of command,
as I understand it; is that right?
SC: Yeah, our parent organization was 700 CIC and I believe that there ... they had sort of a
branch up in Colorado at that time, but I think most of our work was sent directly back to Bolling
at that time. I am a little fuzzy on that because I wasn't in the organization very long, you know.
RW: OK. General Blanchard was the Base Commander and everyone else in the S09th basically
reported to him then?
SC: Oh yeah. Colonel Blanchard.
RW: Oh yeah. Excuse me, Colonel Blanchard.
SC: He was the Wmg Commander of the 509th, right. I didn't report to anybody on the base.
RW: Just like in OSI?
SC: Yeah, I associated and coordinated stuff with Marcel and I had no responsibility to
Blanchard or Marcel.
RW: Do you recall an incident that happened during the early part of July when you were asked
to accompany Major Marcel to go recover some wreckage of anything?
SC: Well, there again I couldn't swear to the dates, but in that time, which must have been July,
we heard that someone had found some debris out not too tar &om RosweU and it looked
suspicious; it was unidentified. So, I went out and I do DOt recall whether Marcel went with
Rickett and me; I bad Rickett with me. We went out to tbis site. There were no, as I understand,
check points or anything like that (going through guards and that sort of garbage) we went out
there and we found it. It wu a small amount o( u I recall, bamboo sticks, reflective sort of
