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.

were not very strong, and there was only an interrupted record of the pressure
height. From the height-time curve (Figure 47) it will be seen that a three-
to four-hour period of floating was recorded, at an altitude near 50,000 feet
MSL. This is in good agreement with the results obtained from earlier flights
(70 end 71) at this level when no control apparatus was included.
