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.

MEMORANDUM FOR
FROM: AFiiN
SUBJECT:
References:
GAO Inquiry into Records Management Procedures Dealing with Weather
Balloons, Unknown Aircraft, and Similar Crash Incidents -
INFORMATION MEMORANDUM
(a) SAF/AA Memorandum, 1 Mar 94
(b) Telecon: Lt Col Butler/AAZ - Mr. Foley/INXA, 3 Mar 94
In response to references, the following information is provided--with answers keyed to ref a:
a. None.
b. None.
c. None, but see below for related material.
d. None.
Ref para c above. Although we possess no official records related to the subject matter, we
do possess documents received from FOIA requesters that discuss the Roswell Incident which we
think may be pertinent to the GAO inquiry:
a. One is a FOIA request from Dr. Neal in California. It is of particular interest in that he
claims to know of a physician in California who allegedly participated in the hands-on pathological
examination of four alien bodies. (Atch 1). Dr. Neal does not identify the individual.
b. There is a second document called "Synopsis of Roswell Incident: (Atch 2). In its
recapitulation of the events that allegedly transpired on that day in Roswell, the synopsis cites
several people who relate stories told to them by alleged eyewitnesses to the event.
We also attach a report from the National Air Intelligence Center (NAIC) at Wright-Patterson
AFB OH, which summarizes its research, and that of others at WPAFB, into UFOs and the Roswell
Incident (Atch 3). The NAIC report concludes that after exhaustive research there is no evidence
of the existence of any relevant documents, flying saucer debris, or space aliens on WPAFB.
AF/IN's POC is Mr. M. J. Foley, x31664.
