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 35
A: Brush recorders. (Strip charge) recorders feeding out
at high speed. You'll see in her~, you'll see the sort of
records.
Q: The graphic representation.
A: The recorders looked like that.
Q: So that was recorded on the aircraft and then .••
A: That's correct. As you'll see, they said they had
receivers at Roswell, at Alamagordo, and they had them on the
airplane.
Q: But most of the detection was via the aircraft because
of the low power receivers.
A: Most of the reception, the detection, was really .•.
The balloon received the acoustics, and sent it down by radio to
the aircraft. It often didn't work. That was the reason why for
Operation Sandstone in April and May of 1 48, we went up and down
the Rio Grande Valley ••• Here are some of the pictures. There's
a ground cloth for the balloon to be laid out. There's a balloon
being inflated, just getting ready. So we tried to get up wind.
That's a device from White Sands that was picked up around
carazoso and was reported in to us, and we thought it was one of
ours. so I took a weapons carrier and drove up there. We were
aggressively trying to recover our equipment and that just
happened to be something that was on the ground. The technician
that had been in that group, remember the (Marginal) tape,
Herbert Crow. That's a picture he took when we were aggressively
trying to recover a load. That turned out not to be ours.
Q: What is it, and who did it belong to?
A: It probably was flown on a rocket or by Marcus o•oay
who was the chief scientist at Watson Laboratory. Dr. O'Day.
You'll see, when you read the Duffy thing, where Duffy thinks
maybe there were things that were flown by Dr. O'Day. Anyway,
that just happens to be a picture in the collection of NYU
photographs.
Q: So there were a lot of other people flying balloons or
launching •••
A: Not balloons. We were the only balloon flyers. That
came down by parachute. But there were a lot of rockets being
flown in the early days there, and a lot of high altitude
aircraft. Duffy says there were dropsondes.
Q: So it could be that some of the material found may not
have been associated with a balloon. It is possible it could
have been some other type of material. But the description that
