Documents / FOIA release
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. RW: Yeah. We were still dealing with copper wire. You can bend light with fiber optics, and that's where we got...we (the world) got fiber optics from that material which we reverse engineered. That's the implication. SC: O.K ... I didn't see any of that, but there could have been some wire or nylon or something. RW. 0 .K. "Together Marcel and the Counterintelligence agent walked around the entire perimeter looking at clues. It took them most of the morning to do it because of the size of the field they started collecting material at the outer edge of the field and moved in toward the center." So, this implies that this was a pretty major undertaking that you and Marcel - in order to examine all of this stuff took a long time because of the volume of the material. This is what I imply from that. SC: If it were true, you know, the size of the rancher's field they are sometimes a section that are miles square, maybe larger. No. RW: But there wasn't material all over? SC: No. RW: You are right. You could walk into New Mexico forever with... SC: Oh Lord! Ranches are big out and down in New Mexico. No, .. .I didn't spend any extended time down there at the site. RW: O.K. Then, on page SS, it talks about there was discussion that this may have been a foil parachute from a V-2. Were you aware that they were testing, we were testing, V-2's at that time out ofWbite Sands? SC: Oh yeah. I went down to a couple of launches. One abort and one launch. RW: O.K. But there was no doubt in your mind that this was not part ofV-2 or any other type of rocket when you saw the debris in the field? SC: No. No. I never had any idea that it was anything with the V-2. They told us down at the V-2 site that they weren't shooting them toward Roswell, anyway. Of course the sent up a few of them and they had an awful lot of aborts. They bad to detonate them or pull the trigger... shortly after they got off the launch pad because they went awry, shall we say. RW: Yeah. Apparently one went awry and went into Mexico, too. They already found that later.
