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: No, I had no idea, no suspicion, that it came from Holloman. Holloman is that. ..
RW: It was White Sands.
SC: It was White Sands. Holloman base. Alamagordo.
RW: O.K."Marcel would take some ofthe sample to Fort Worth to show Ramey. In the mean
time, the CIC man would head back to the crash sit with some MP's showing them exactly where
this field was and to round up the rancher. There were now additional questions for him." This
implies that after you came back you took some MP's and went back up there.
SC: I went back down there? No. No.
RW: So you were just there the one original time and you didn't go back with any MP's, the
rancher or anybody else?
SC: No.
RW: O.K. "Marcel would go to Fort Worth and the CIC man would stay behind to lead the clean
up detail at the site another reason they send Marcel was the CIC had there own chain of
command that reported to Kirtland in Albuquerque rather than Fort Worth and although
Blanchard outranked the CIC agent (meaning yourself) a phone call to Kirtland could have gotten
his orders overturned." So, this implied that you reported to Kirtland, which I know, of course,
we did later when District 17 was formed.
SC: Yeah, OSI.
RW: Yeah, but at that time you didn't necessarily· the CIC did not report to Kirtland?
SC: No. No. Kirtland was just another Air Base as far as we were concerned down at Roswell.
They weren't part of SAC. They weren't anything to do with us CIC • wise or nothing.
RW: O.K...Here is where Rickett comes into the picture, and Rickett makes a number of claims
that basically.. .I don't know ifRickett is still alive or not.
SC: No, Rick is dead now.
RW: O.K. Because I...(Unintelliglble)
SC: No, he is dead and I think now maybe his wife might be now. We use to exchange
Christmas cards up until a couple of years ago when he died. Two or three years ago.
RW: So, he died two or three years ago? OK. He makes a number of claims that, at least Randle
and Schmitt; and when I say "Randle and Schmitt rm not trying to pick on them or to imply that
