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: Yeah. The son is mentioned in a number of publication, because he claimed his dad brought
this stuff to his house and they hammered on it and ...
MC: Which I remember seeing.
SC: He was a smart little devil, his son.
RW: He is a doctor, I think.
SC: Is he is a PHD type of doctor or a Medical doctor?
RW: Yeah, I though he was a medical doctor.
MC: He is an MD, but his brother was medical type technician.
SC: They were a smart family. I always thought Marcel was just a little on the outer scale.
RW: Since you were friends with both Marcel and Rickett, is there any explanation that they
would (in your mind, since you knew them) tell these stories and get this interest generated?
SC: No.
MC: I wouldn't think purposely, would you darling?
SC: Not purposely, no. I gave you a little insight on Rick, he could sit and tell stories that last
hours.
MC: They were visited by a lot of people, more than we were. Handier to some people, being in
Florida where they were. She would write on cards, so and so bas been here, but I don't think
purposely they would try to make up tales for being heroes or glorifying anything.
RW: Let me ask you officially for the record. Did you take any kind of security oath, promise,
sign anything, or verbally agree to anything not to talk about any of this, that occurred n New
Mexico?
SC: No. I told you that awhile ago. rn take an oath on that. I swear.
RW: O.K. Has anybody in the US Government, the Air Force, or anyone connected with the
Government, ever threatened you if you said anything about any of these incidents that something
would happen to you, your family or anybody else?
SC: No. No way.
RW: O.K.
