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: Yeah, I think they would have asked me, "Cav, what did you see" ... right. RW: Did Rickett ever talk to you about this again? SC: No .. .I don't think so. I don't think so. Right about that time just before OSI was formed and we all were absorbed into OSI. I think he went on a special undercover job up to ... maybe somewhere to an Air Force Base up here in Washington. MC: Fort Lewis, I think he ... SC: Was it Lewis or McChord? I don't remember. Anyway, he went on to an undercover assignment, and that's what I said about CIC doing some crazy things. They didn't even tell me. I was his boss locally and they didn't even tell me that he had gone up. He use to be a mechanic at one time, Rick did, in the Air Force; the Air Corps. I think they wanted to ... they were having some trouble with their planes being what they thought were sabotaged and they asked him to go up there and try out the machine... like an airplane mechanic, which he could do pretty good. Outside ofthat, I don't know of anything that Rick did. RW: One ofthe things that was mentioned in this book... and I don't know how much you read it, is that Rickett some time later that Fall apparently went with a scientist by the name of Doctor LaPaz, and he accompanied him and they went around to various places. Dr. LaPaz was a weD known person... SC: I knew of him. I never met LaPaz personally, but I knew what he was. RW: Did Rickett go with him that you recall; accompany him around? SC: He could have, but it certainly didn't stick to my mind. It wouldn't be for any extended time I don't think, because we needed him around the office. MC: The Ricketts were friends of ours too; and his wife and I. I don't remember Mack ever saying anything. SC: Mack was his wife. MC: ... that he was gone for a long time. SC: He could have, but Rickett would go off the deep end eve:ry once in a while. He was a fantastic story teller. He worked for an insane asylum up in the Washington DC area. I think his wife worked there, also. He would sit around and tell some of the most hilarious, ridiculous stories about things that happened in this nut house, so to speak. RW: Was that St. Elizabeth's? That's the big government mental institution.
