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.

s4cond cluster flight, provision was also made to release balloons if the
train rose above 40,000 ft. The flying line in the second train was
approximately 500 ft. long.
This cluster flight is tedious to prepare and difficult to
launch, and is a greater hazard to aircraft than the plastic balloons
will be because of the great length of the cluster train.
III e) Apparatus and Equipment.
A detailed explanation is not given on the equipment of the
Cluster Flight. However, a layout sketch is enclosed in the appendix.
An important piece of new apparatus for this project is the ballast
valve or dribbler, a photograph aDd drawings of which appears in the
appemix. It consists of a special diaphragm which operates a needle
valve. Normally the valve is closed as the diaphragm·is open to the air
before the balloon reaches the desired altituie. This allows the
pressure inside the diaphragm to be the same as the outside pressure.
The diaphragm is sealed electrically qy the baroswitch of the flight
radiosome \-Then the balloon train passes a predetermined altitude.
~enever the balloon train cescends below this preset altitude, the
increase of pressure on the sealed diaphragm causes the needle valve to
be opened. The greater the excess in pressure on the diaphragm the more
ballast there is releaseo through the valve. Thus a pro9ortional restoring
force is applied to the train. The ballast that is to be used is a
petroleum cut boiling from 300° to 4000F wi t!l a density of a. bout • 78 and
a minimum change of viscosity with temperature. Two different type
Uuid~ that may reet this specification are the Army type compass fluid
