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.

But he wasn't launching balloons.
He wasn't launching balloons.
so where did they get the equipment to take this
Did you leave equipment behind?
This is right outside of the hangar.
Those are your people?
It's our equipment and my stepladder.
Did you leave equipment there?
A: Yes. Everything
Q: Because you expected to return.
A: We were just going back •.•

Q:
that? It looked pretty tricky. How did they know how to do
A: I just don't know anything about the hierarchy above
us. I do know that I worked carefully with a guy named Larry
Dyvad, a pilot, who later became a private pilot, running a fixed
base operation in Alamagordo, and got killed 20 years ago. But I
know I worked with Larry Dyvad whose name you'll see here. I
don't remember Pritchard at all, but Dyvad was my contact with
the radar. I know they didn't have balloons or anything else,
yet they talk about boiling balloons there.
Q: so when you returned in September, did you see that
somebody had tampered with your equipment and used up some of
your balloons?
A: If it did, it didn't ring a bell.
Q: And no one mentioned it to you. No one said hey, look,
we had to do something while you were gone.
A: I think we were just some ignorant, little innocent
graduate student contractors on a military base, and things were
going on that we didn't know anything about.
Q: So no one approached you to say they had used some of
your equipment?
A: Not at all.
Q: This photo that's depicted here n the July lOth
Alamagordo News, this could have been taken during one of your
actual launches versus •••
