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.

(4) Rate-of-Descent Switch It may at times be desirable to control a balloon merely qya switch activated at any given rate of descent. This could be accomplished merely by "reversing" the rate-of-ascent switch. This type of control would prove to be quite difficult, however, for a constant level flight. One flight, No. 97, was made using a type of rate-of-descent switch ·&s shown in Figure 16.
