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.

However, this error was minimized by the smoothness of the rotating cylinder and the continuous motion of the cylinder under the contact pen. Probably the necessary looseness of the bearings and the joining to the motor gear train had a great deal to do with the spread between different calib~ations. The maximum variation of any one ce.libration curve from the mean was about ~3 millibars. The following recommendations are made for the use of the Olland-cycle modulator: (a) The modulator should be mounted inside the battery box and insulated so as to keep its temperature above -30°C. (b) During the rapid~rising portion of the flight the accuracy of the data warrants reading only to the nearest one percent of a cycle, or about one millibar of pressure. Tests on the sensitivity of Olland-Cycle modulators indi- cate that although the accuracy is li~ited as indicated above, small variations may be detected with the result that it is valid to read the pressure record to the nearest tenth of one percent of one revolution. -'71-
