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. that was the old District Office 17, OSI.
RW: Oh. OK.
SC: So this is after. Dr. Pflock sent me that. I got it out when Pflock sent it to me. This is
Rickett.
RW: OK.
SC: And that is Jack Williams and that's old Cavitt. Down on the lower left.
RW: Oh. OK.

identified and who's no longer with us. This thing that POock sent me, this picture. It says that
Jack Wdliams is deceased. No wonder why somebody didn't contact him. I didn't even know he
was dead. We were not friends. He was a Staft"Sergeant, and a good honest kid, I think.

SC: Yeah. Right.
RW: And I am also a member of that so I see a lot of that. So, I see a lot of their letters and
stuff: pictures that they send.
MC: We get correspondence &om Doyle. Chris' son called him not long ago. He had a hole in
one on his eightieth birthday. ·
RW: Ob, is that ri&flt. Was it his first one?
SC: I'm sure it was.
