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.

RW: When you went out to the site, do you remember how you got out there?
SC: I don't. It was a possibility we could have taken a Jeep. Marcel had gotten a Jeep ... Marcel
had gotten a Jeep.
RW: Just a regular Jeep?
SC: Yeah. out of the motor pool, but certainly no Carryall.
RW: O.K. Then it said: "After Marcel had gone to Fort Worth and came back Marcel
challenged the CIC man who bad remained at the base asking to see (your) report. Marcel was
told that the report was now classified and be wasn't authorized to see it and it was on its way to
the Pentagon if he had a problem with that he could take it up with the Pentagon."
SC: Negative.
RW: O.K. "Blanchard, who was still at the base... ordered Marcel to accompany the rancher back
to Corona, •· You said you never saw... and then you said you were going to ... you never saw the
rancher from what you told me previously?
SC: No.
RW: Or dealt with him personally?
SC: I certainly don't remember ever meeting Mr. Brazel or Brazzel, whatever his name was.
RW: O.K. Here is where they talk about the Geiger counter. You have already said that you
didn't test anything for radioactivity because you didn't have anything to test it with.
SC: No.
RW: Oh. Then Marcel said there was a wire-like material that looked like monofilament fishing
line. Do you recall any of that?
SC: Oh, no. It sort of tickles a little bit of remembrance ot: you know, of all this junk foil, I
would call it, and the sticks and so forth. There probably was some line of some sort there to
hold it together, I guess.
RW: Wbatthey...
SC: What wu supposed to have been with that 1. ..
RW: WeD where they go with that, later on, is that this is where we developed fiber optics from.
That this is, was, in fact, fiber optic cable which was, of course, unheard of in 1947.
