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.

In several cases ~uibs used for altitude control failed to fire at ertre11el7 high al titudea. It is believed that plac- iD& a aall load on b&tteriea may help keep cella warm enough to produce the neceaaary voltage at. high altitude on future fiighta. 3.
