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.

When the civilians and personnel from Roswell AAF (Marcel, Cavitt, and Rickett)
"stumbled" upon the highly classified project and collected the debris, no one at
Roswell had a "need to know" about information concerning MOGUL. This fact,
along with the initial misidentification and subsequent rumors that the "capture"
of a "flying disc" occurred, ultimately left many people with unanswered
questions that have endured to this day.
