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 42 A: There was really no contact, at that time, as far as I know, between Peoples and Roswell, and there's no way Roswell, other than my memory of getting turned away by the MPs at the gate, there's no way that the people at Roswell would have known what was going on over at Alamagordo. When we sent people to Roswell, Hackman worked out of a motel to receive. So the more puzzling thing in line with what you say comes from Crary's diary. Here's what crary's diary says: "Alamagordo. Balloon Flight llA, off at 5:07. Big plastic balloon with small auxiliary plastics," etc. "Watson Lab and gear." "Followed" (inaudible) "receiver until about 11. Picked up on radiosonde receiver at Roswell then followed. Then came down. At 10,000 feet, cap should have punctured plastic. Then it came down near Highway 70, between Roswell and Tulerosa. "Second balloon, met balloons with radiosonde up about 6:30. Third balloon with two and a half pound stick of TNT and cap set by pressure element set to fire at 35,000 feet, up at 6:20." Q: What day is that again? A: July 7th. "Surface bombing at site 4 from 5:45 to 8:45 at 15 minute intervals. (Inaudible) followed main receiver only three- quarters of an hour, but followed radiosonde about three hours. Thirty-five thousand food implosion? off about 6:55. Vivian got instructions for completing work on Flights 1 to 30 and packed all records and photo. Sent off TWX regarding Bermuda flight and wrote up memo on it. Worked with Eileen on April 1st rocket plotting HD5 HT SST, whatever [that is]." July 8th. "C-54 off about 10:30 with 23 people, all NYU, Watson Lab including Vivian, Eileen," and somebody else. I can't tell. "Lieutenant Thompson, Edmondson, Reynolds and myself left. Wrote a report on East Coast flights for Peoples." Here's 9 July, the time this occurred at Alamagordo. "Worked today on balloon flight. Studied Watson Lab records of them briefly and wrote memorandum to Peoples about results. Left in car this PM later. Flat tire between Roswell and Tulerosa, and stayed there." July lOth. "Changed tire and went tire. Off to El Rino, Oklahoma today. Hereford, Texas and met Danny Hard from and saw Bob Cowden, somebody in charge, into Roswell. Bought new Stopped in cafe in UGC. Went up to office and supervisor." That's the end of it. So there's no hint that Crary was involved in any coverup such as this clearly is. This is a coverup right here because they talk about our operations, they talk about our balloons we thought went to Colorado,and they all claim it to be part of Pritchard's radar operation.
