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: The ones in early June were all service flights. In other words, all flights we were making for Peoples, and we had some radar test flights. Q: so to go with the June 14th date, what type of flight do you think would have ..• 51 A: All the balloons launched in that period would have been meteorological balloons, 350 gram meteorological balloons, some of them with radar targets just to test the radar out and some of them, I'd forgotten all about it, but Crary's diary says we had sonobuoy microphones on some of them. So that black box that Cavitt had really began to get my attention. Q: That would not be a radiosonde. A: That would not be a radiosonde. Q: What would a radiosonde look like? A: It would be a white, usually a cardboard or a plastic box, and the fact that we were involved in radar is because we weren't allowed to have our radiosonde equipment. We weren't all set up for that. Q: You said you didn't bring it with you. A: We didn't bring the receiver. I have to correct myself, we did attach radiosondes to them, to the flights carrying microphones because there's a statement in this summary here of radiosonde reception. Radiosonde recording. So I take that back. Yes, we had radiosonde. But we did fly this one mentioned here, on June 4th, out to Tulerosa range, no balloon flight, again, on account of clouds. By that he means none of their flights. Then "Flew regular sonobuoy mike on a cluster of balloons and had good (inaudible) receiver on ground but poor on plane." Q: I notice early on you were going ahead with the Navy stocked sonobuoy while Professor Ewing was trying to perfect his technique of the low range frequency microphone. A: Oh, the low frequency microphone, right. That's correct. Q: He was experimenting with both AM and FM, is that your recollection? A: In the laboratory, devices for measuring low frequency acoustic waves were well known, but what he was attempting to do was to modify these and devise something to be a throw-away microphone and radio transmitter, so this was to build an instrument for a certain purpose. He actually had a fellow named
