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: I am telling the truth, and I have told all of these other people the truth. That, I don't know anymore than what I told them, and I don't know anything about any "tittle men", or anything.

RW: But, we want to do this officially, because as near as we can tell nobody ever has before. SC: I certainly wish you good luck. I hope you can convince these people.

Some of them are bigger and some of them are smaller. SC: . Some do some things, some of them do others. RW: One of the things that they menti~ going back to the balloons for a minute, was what Marcel called "hieroglyphics". It was something that was written or printed on some of the debris, Do you recall any of that? SC: No. But in reading over some of my other garbage here, I have seen some hieroglyphics. I don't think there were any claims that these were the Roswell deal. Were there? RW: Marcel claims. SC: Marcel says so? RW: However, the day after the original flying saucer article in the Roswell paper, there was a follow up article where they interview Brazel (the rancher), and he descnoed this stuff almost similar to what you did, almost like basal wood type of sticks and tin foil type of things. Then he said some bad what appeared to be Scotch tape with little purple flowers stamped on it. Apparently at that time, as near u we can tell, one of the baBoon manufactures did use some type of tape that bad some sort oftlowers oa it. It is poSSIOle, I guess, that somebody could mistake...
