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.

PROFESSOR MOORE - 6/8/94
Q: The service flights were which ones?
A: The ones carrying the microphones.
Q: so specifically that term was used for the microphone
flights from .•.
29
A: That's right. You'll notice when you look at this,
that the flights out in the Pacific don't even get mentioned.
There's just no report on the flights in the Pacific, and the
flights in 1 48 that we made for Sandstone, there are some flight
numbers recorded, but there are no details at all provided.
Q: That was Grab Bag?
A: No, Grab Bag was to grab stratospheric air to measure
the krypton 85 ..•
Q: Essentially particulate detection and gaseous •••
A: That was gaseous. The particulate was, I think we were
less involved in grabbing particulates. There have been
thousands of flights made, and certain people did carry cascade
impactors and other things, but that was a minor part of what we
did, whereas Grab Bag was a very measure effort.
Q: That was in '48?
A: That was more •so odd.
Q: Was that Fitzwilliam?
A: No, Fitzwilliam was entirely acoustic detection. Again,
very long range detection. Fitzwilliam was spring of 1 48. There
were various code names, and thanks to our friend Todd, I've
learned about the code name got termed Black Heart and a whole
bunch of odd names ••.
Q: Black Heart, Rock Fish. He may be wrong on that part.
He may be right, but ...
A: I heard Mogul got converted into Rock Fish. But I
heard the detection part of Fitzwilliam ended up being called
Black Heart.
Q: He may be in error on that.
A: As I say, I'd been much more concerned with the
technical aspects than the military operations.
Q: This is one of the technical reports and it's talking
about the various flights, and this is the report that lists all
of the numbered flights and it talks about, it says, "Excluded
are the flights made to test," it's technical report number one,
