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.

GUIDE FOR READERS
This publication contains two narratives: The Report of the Air Force Research Regarding
the "Roswell Incident" by Col. Richard L. Weaver and the Synopsis of Balloon Research
Findings by 1st Lt. James McAndrew. These are the same narratives and supporting
documents that went to the Secretary of the Air Force and to the Government Accounting
Office, except that a photograph section has been appended. It appears at the end of the
book, after Attachment 33.
Thirty-three attachments support Colonel Weaver's Report. Attachment 32 consists of
Lieutenant McAndrew's Synopsis, itself followed by eleven attachments and twenty-five
·appendices. McAndrew's appendices reproduce the actual sources cited in his report.
The attachments to the Weaver Report are located by black tabs printed at the lower
right-hand corner of their cover pages, whereas the attachments to McAndrew's Synopsis
are located by black tabs printed midway up the page. Appendices to the McAndrew
Synopsis are identified by gray tabs which apear at the top right-hand corners of their
respective cover pages (see below).

Choosing to distinguish attachments and appendices from each other by using separate

repaginating the original source material reproduced here. Because many of the
attachments and appendices appeared in previous publications and were integrally
numbered there, their original pagination has not been changed for the purposes of this
report. Additionally, any blank pages appearing in these source documents, though
