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.

A: No, he wouldn't launch a balloon. I'd launch a
balloon. What Peoples would do is say I want a flight up
tomorrow morning. So the NYU group would get ready to make a
flight, and then Crary would go out with his crew and fire
explosives up and down the Tulerosa Basin while our balloons were
in the air.

wind. We had freedom to tell them what we could do and what we
couldn't do. We actually on this, in addition to everything
else, we actually flew blocks of TNT on free balloons and fired
them while we had other balloons in the air.
