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.

Mr. c. J. Stock, Secretary

New York 17, N. Y.

Rei'erence: New York Meeting No. 12 Subject No. 26, New York Case :{/:156
Dear Sir:
Receipt of' the minutes of the above meeting are acknowledged with thanks.
However, on reading them, a discrepancy was noted. We believe the weather
conditions agreed upon for P.hase 2 operations were not a cloudless sky, but
no ceiling under 20,000 i't.
We realize that there might be occasions lilen the clouds present would
not constitute a ceiling. Yet, due to chaotic or unstable sky conditions,
our balloons might be considered an unseen hazard to aircrai't.
It is therefore requested that we be permitted to i'ly these rapidly
rising, high altitude balloons ai'ter obtaining clearance on days
when there are no more than scattered clouds in thin layers up to
20,000 ft. and visibility greater than three miles.
This is an important point, as the phenomena which we hope to measure
is not a i'requent one and our chances to investigate the remote phenomena
are markedly reduced if' we have to wait far cloudless skies and the phenomena
to coincide.
This would have been brought to your attention earlier. However, we -are
unable, until yesterday, to coni'irm our impressions with the representatives
of the Army Air Forces who were present at the meeting.

Yours very truly,
C. S. Schneider
