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.

GLOSSARY
Altitude Sensitivity: The altitude gained by a balloon when its
load is reduced by one kilogram.
Balloon Inflation: Gas inflation to be given the balloon in
ter.ms of initial lift of the balloon
(equals weight of equipment load plus free
litt plus allowance for gas losses before
launching).
Ceiling: The locus of pressure altitudes at which a
non-extensible balloon will float when gas
losses are slightly over-compensated for
by ballast losses.
Equipment Load: Weight of all equipment, rigging, ana ballast
hung from the balloon shrouds not including
balloon or its integral parts.
Floor: The locus of altitudes at which a balloon will
float when lift losses are exactly compensated
for on a demand basis by ballast dropping.
In practice, this is determined by the opera-
tion of the automatic ballast release and
ia some altitude below the ceiling.
Free Lift: Net lift of the balloon with the equipment
load attached.
Gross Lift: Lift of all of the gas in the balloon at re-
lease (equals weight of the balloon, equip-
ment load plus the free lift).
Gross Load: Load on the gas at release (balloon plus
equipment load weight).
Pressure Altitude: The altitude. at which a non-extensible bal-
loon becomes fully inflated.
Pressure Height: The height above ~ean sea level as determined
from pressure measurements used in this work
with the N. A. c. A. Standard Atmosphere.
