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.

I can think of no other explanation for Roswell than one of our early June service flight balloons.
If one of our balloons went down there was no shroud of secrecy about it. We would attempt to
recover the flight gear when posstble, but the reflectors, balloons, and microphone equipment was
expendable. We went to no great effort to recover the equipment and we certainly would not
cordon off an area where one of our balloons went down. We would sometimes send out 3-4 men
to recover the equipment if we knew where it went down. The July 1Oth Alomorgordo News
report was a good cover-it does not appear to be a coincidence-I don't know who may have
initiated it. Trakowski does not recaU being invoM:d in a cover story in one of my conversations
with him. In New Mexico during 1947, an of our balloon operations were launched from
Alamogordo AAF. C (3xf.
