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
A: You're right.
Q: This has it coming down northwest.
A: What's the origin of this?
Q: It's in the back of one of the reports.
A: It looks to me like it may have been out of this
report.
Q: Not every report had this graphic depiction like this
which was number eight.
(Pause to look through documents)
41
A: With those numbers it wouldn't have been in that first
report because these flights were much later.
Q: Technical Report No. 1.
A: Right. And Flight 58 and 55 aren't going to be in that
early report. They occurred after that report was written.
(Pause)
A: I would say what was in that first report is more
accurate than this. This, I think, occurred after I left NYU.
It's a general summary. Flight 11 was a very important flight.
They got very important data on it -- Crary and Peoples.
Q:
on it. Spilhaus based his article from Journal of Meteorology
A: Right, and he wrote a paper in the bulletin. The fact
that the balloon trajectory has this hook in it when it went over
the mountain ridge •••
Q: That's obviously the (ano-cyclonic] winds aloft.
A: Exactly. So he and Bernard Harwitz were very excited
about the fact that the balloon at nominal constant level, had a
change in direction when the air was forced over the mountain
barrier, and they published a special paper on that. So
everybody was happy with this flight.
As soon as that flight was made, that was the 7th, and we
went home on the 8th.
Q: That would be the reason why there would be no one
there in the area who could explain this debris that was brought
in. There were no experts there who dealt with this particular
type of material or radar reflectors.
