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.

PROJECT SIGMA
The project was oriqinally established in 1954. Its mission
was to establish communications with aliens. This project met with
positive success {SIC) when in 1959, the United States established
primitive communications with the aliens. On April 25, 1964, a
USAF intelligence officer met two aliens at a pre-arranged location
in the desert of New Mexico. The contact lasted for approximately
three hours. The Air Force officer managed to exchange basic
information with the two aliens. The project is believed to be
continuing at an Air Force base in New Mexico.
I am respectfully requesting the following information:
1}. An authentic photocopy of the "Majestic-12" (MJ-12}
groups information - a 9 paqe document (1947}.
2). Any photocopies of pathological reports (post-mortem)
performed on the aliens in 1941 (comparative anatomy).
3). Any authentic photocopies of aliens full body
exposures; close-up photos, etc.
4). Project Whirlwind- a UFO study done at M.I.T. in. 1949,
then referred back to the Dept. of Defense.
Although I realize that the government is reluctant in giving
out information, particularly to civilian researchers, my approach
will continue to be positive and will have a optimistic outlook.
While I might accurately anticipate some negative reactions to all
this information (continued debunking) in the letter, I would
nevertheless value your response.
Sincerely,
~w_ ,tj. r.uJ. fM0Richard M. Neal, Jr., M.D.
