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.

MC: It will be interesting for you to get Randle and Schmitts last book.
SC: Their latest book? They promised they're going to take it easy on me.
RW: Well, I have tried to find a copy, because, among other things, that have happened, is that
people keep changing the dates of when things happened.
MC: And sites!
RW: Yeah. And that makes it very difficult when you are try to track down records. If you are
looking between this period of time and all of a sudden they change the period of time.
MC: Well, when they came here about 14 months ago they sat right there and we became good
friends down in Sierra Vista and we would tell them everything we know, honestly. We gave
them gobs of names. They sat down and said we have something new, something different.
Something happened at this site and it was not on the same date. So, you could have one of your
researchers get that book, and research that.
SC: You are very well aware of the good guy bad guy approach of when they interrogation.
RW: Oh, yes.
SC: Well, I got a perfect example of this with Randle and Schmitt. Randle is the outgoing,
buddy-buddy type and this Schmitt he'd sit over their and he'd look over at me like this (while
Randall is asking me a question), "you lying Cur." Particularly down in Sierra Vista. They just
grated on me.
RW: You probably had done that a time or two yourself You would know what he was doing.
SC: Not really. Let him type up this deal that 1...
RW: Yeah, I don't want to take up all of your time.
MC: We have all day. I'll go down and get a hamburger or...
RW: If you don't mind, if you got a plug in over by the table. I need two plug ins to make this
thing work.
SC: You need two?
RW: One for the computer and one for the power supply.
SC: O.K.
