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.

Example: It a 20-foot diameter balloon~ full were tested at
10
sea level and found to have a leakage rate of 50 gmfiu-. the
leakage rate of a full 2D-foot balloon at sea level would be:
Lt • eo;-{1o)f • 34ol
The leakage of a full 70-foot diameter balloon at sea level in
this case would be:
lf • 50 ~ [tof:g}a]f =7820 GII/HR
Values for leakage at several different altitudes for 20-foot
and 7D-foot diameter ballcons, assuming a leakage of 50 ~r.
for a 20-foot balloon~ full at sea level are:
10
.1 titude (MSL) 0 40,000 ft. 100.000 ft.
2o-ft. diam. 340 r. 83.2 r.
70-ft. diam. 7820 r. 1912 r.
Another consideration is that relationship expressed by the
kinetic theory of gases regarding gases at low pressures. The
kinetic theory states that there is a molecular type of flow
across a thin diaphragm through openings whose dimensions are
of the order of the length of the mean free path of the mole-
cules involved. Mass flow of the gas is then:
where:
L = ~p·A~
120
Jl p : 1s the pressure difference across the film
A = area of the opening
dCJ = density of the gas in question
This. relationship, however, becomes valid ot~ly at extremely
low pressures, and when considering balloon systems at no:nr.al
floating levels the more common fluid-flow relationship will
control the rate of loss of lift through openings in the film.
It would be of little use then to investigate further the leak-
age of gas through openings by means of the relationships in-
volved in the kinetic theory.
