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
Joe Johnston, the electrical engineer at Columbia, whose name
will come up as the person who did these.
Q: But you think in these early service flights you did
have sonobouys?
A: Initially we had sonobouy, according to Crary. We
initially were flying radar targets on the balloons only. Then
by about Flight 5, we'd had sufficient lack of results that we
began putting radiosondes on.
(Pause)

Q: The end report we're going to write is going to be
based on official records, and essentially, transcripts such as
this. so there will be a lot of things, Cavitt's tape, the
transcript will not be part of that. This statement will be.
A: If you remember, there's a note in there from Dave
Atlas to Colonel Duffy, a copy of a letter. Dave mentioned
somewhere or another that Colonel Duffy took him down in the
basement and Colonel Duffy had trunkfulls of documents that were
unclassified. I wonder if it would be possible for you to
contact Mrs. Duffy .•.
Q: I was wondering about what she might have.
A: She may have a great deal. Maybe in the Duffy file I
have the address and phone number. I think it's Barrington,
Rhode Island.
(Looking for name and phone number)
A: Here's a letter Todd got having to do with chasing down
modern targets, the people who now make targets, who know nothing
about this earlier affair.
Q: We talked with the Signal Corps up at Fort Monmouth and
that's where we got the copy of the engineering drawing, which is
a copy for you. They said these targets are no longer made.
They have a national stock number and they can be made, but they
would have to go out and write a new contract for them.
A: This is the c Model. It doesn't show the
reinforcements.
Q: The young lady I talked with at Fort Monmouth indicated
this drawing pre-dated that time frame. June of '44.
A: I'll be darned.
Q: I found ~hat unusual when she said that was June of
'44, and I didn't pick up on the designation being printed on the
