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.

The method used heretofore is variation of balloon
load through changes in the amount of ballast used.
However. there are upper and lower limits on the
amount of ballast that can be used. due to 'the
strength limitations of the fabric. Also. the "height
sensitivity"; that is. the ratio of change in altitude
to Change in load. is not great enough to provide suit-
able choice of heights.
B. Another attack is to effect a change of volume by
making openings below the equator of the balloon.
The volume of gas contained in the balloon envelope
is then obviously limited.
c. If this method of height control proves to be un-
satisfactory. still other control mechanisms will be
sought.
The three objectives. with their indicated subdivisions. will be
pursued to better effect control of the balloon altitude. A parallel
pursuit will be the investigation of other balloon types and sizes. in
addition to the satisfactory General Mills Polyethylene models now in
use. Thus. plans for the future include both the development of control
devices currently under test and also a.broad. general study of 'the basic
components of constant-level balloon trains from the theoretical as well
as the operational viewpoint.
