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: I'll tell you what, if you can indulge me for a few minutes and let me set up my computer.
Do you mind signing a statement. 111 make it very short. (unintelligible).
SC: Sure. You bet. Yeah.
RW: And we'll just make a kind of quick summary statement if you can bare with my computer
skills here.
SC: I11 prick my finger and sign it in blood.
RW: I don't think we'll require that.
MC: Rich, it always seems funny to us with all these, if these things happened. How can 30 or
even 3 people keep something a secret?
RW: Well, I would kind of like to know how they did it, because in my real job we handle all the
Special Programs that do keep all the secrets. And we would like to figure out how they do it so
we can duplicate it. Because it is very hard to keep secrets, as you well know.
MC: But you see, I am talking about civilians and other people who were in on these bodies
going to the morgue and all that. (unintelligible) some grave digger from the funeral home or
whatever ...
RW: Well, of course, Randle and Schmitt do claim that those people are out there and that they
have interviewed them. They list a whole bunch of them. Now, we're not trying to go after them
and undo every interview they had done. That is not our point. In fact, you are the only person
we have gone out and interviewed, because you're always reputed to be the guy... one of the two
or three people that was there picking up the stuff. ..
MC: And he is the only one that is still living.
RW: That is right.
MC: That is what Doyle Rees said on his post card. He said you better keep this going. If
anybody likes publicity as he ... (unintelligible)
SC: But what be was saying, all of these guards...
RW: He claims that he had interviewed a number of these people and said that they did guard
something and there were a number ftights. Now, we have never found the ftight records to
substantiate that, so I don't know where they have. Ifthey have.
SC: The crew chiefs on the airplane that are making these ftights. They went with them. Flight
Engineers?
