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.

:MEMORANDUM FOR THE SECRETARY OF THE AIR FORCE
FROM: SAF/AAZ
1720 Air Force Pentagon
Washington, DC 20330-1720
SUBJECT: Report of Air Force Research Regarding the "Roswell Incident"
JUL 2 7 19S111
Attached is a report prepared in support of a General Accounting Office (GAO) audit that
is seeking to identify information concerning the "Roswell Incident." The report documents the
considerable effort expended by numerous Air Force offices and personnel in this matter.
The Air Force efforts did not identify any indication that the "Roswell Incident" was any
type of extraterrestrial event or that the Air Force has engaged in a 47 year conspiracy or "cover-
up" of information relating to it. Therefore, it is assumed that pro-UFO groups will strongly
object to the attached report and denounce it as either shortsighted or a continuation of the
"cover-up" conspiracy. Nevertheless, the attached report is a good faith effort and the first time
any agency of the government has positively responded officially to the ever-escalating claims
surrounding the Roswell matter.
