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.

COL TRAKOWSKI - 6/29/94 8 Q: The Sea Girt Inn? A: Exactly. That's where John had his office, and I was there for a time doing work on developing the operational procedures of the SCR-658, the radio direction of wind- meteorological data. Rawinsonde-1 did most all the work on developing how to use that instrument, and it was done there at the Sea Girt Inn. Q: Do you recall any other physical attributes about the radar reflectors, the balsa wood? Charlie Moore indicated that the material had been coated in something like Elmer's glue which made it much more durable. Do you recall anything like that? A: No, I don't. I didn't concern myself with that except as an observation to the side. The radar targets were geometrically elementary. There were three intersecting planes: X, Y, and Z. Their geometry was such, as you well know, that any incident wave would be reflected exactly, precisely, in the direction from which it came. So they were simple. I don't recall any of the details of how they were made, what what the materials were, what coatings were used, or anything. At the time it wasn't within the range of my job. Q: Did Colonel Duffy inform you officially? When he said he called you, was this like an official ... A: No. It was just an informative call. There wasn't any official transmission of knowledge nor expected action to result from it. Q: Did Colonel Duffy consider this to be some sort of security violation? A: No. Not to my knowledge, no. It was part of doing business. Q: So he wasn't particularly upset, and he didn't require a formal explanation. A: No. Q: So that's the first you were aware, when he called you. None of your technicians had mentioned it to you? A: No. Not to my knowledge. Q: Did you have any interaction with the people at Eighth Air Force such as General Ramey or anyone else who may have been at Roswell Army Air Field? A: No. I don't recall any interaction with them, no. Q: What about Dr. Crary or Dr. Peoples? Do you know if they had interaction with the [Eighth Air Force] folks? A: I don't recall any, no.
