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.

they're doing anything different than any of these other people ... they just happen to have the most
current stuff on the street.
SC: Trying to write a book.
RW: "Rickett, the Provost Marshal" ... excuse me ... page 61. "According to Lewis Rickett, one of
the CIC Agents, he, with the commander of the CIC shop, drove a staff car from the motor pool
and returned to the crash site. They were followed by a second car carrying several MP's. An
MP did ask for identification because neither of the counterintelligence men were in uniform." So
this would have been the second trip, which you said you did not take. But, he did apparently go
with you on the first trip?
SC: Rickett?
RW: Rickett ... Yeah.
SC: Yeah.
RW: And I assume at that time, just like in OSI, you did not wear uniforms for the most part?
SC: I didn't even have any unifonns.
RW: Yeah. I know the feeling. For the first eight years in OSI, I think, the only uniform I had
was my mess dress. "But Rickett, the Provost Marshal and the senior intelligence officer walked
into the debris field, examined the wreckase. Rickett said it looked Hke metal and asked if it was
radioactive" ... and you said it wasn't. That was page 62. This is on the, you would have been on
this now second trip again, O.K.1 On page 63: u they prepared to leave the crash site the CIC
agent told Rickett: "You and I were never out here. You and I never saw this. You don't see
any military people or military vehicles out here. Rickett agreed saying yeah, we never even left
the office." Now that's the little quote they have out also in the..
SC: Now what page is that on?
RW: That's on page 63.
SC: 63? No. Now I could have said something facetious like that after we got back to the
office, after I was convinced that it was a weather balloon, or some such contraption. I didn't
know, naturally. I could have said after we got back to the office: "Rick~ this has been a big
boondoggle. I don't even want 700 CIC Headquarters to know we wasted our time on it. Forget
we ever did it." I mean I could have...
RW: O.K.
