Documents / FOIA release
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.

We asked the National Personnel Records Center to see if they have
any files for Roswell Air Force Base for the 1947 time frame in
their holdinqs. They noted that the histories for the 509th Bomb
Group and Winq for Roswell Army Air Base for period of November-
December 1947 was transferred to Air University in 1953. The
reqular 1947 records have been destroyed. They do have a packet
of Top Secret for 509th Bomb Winq, Walker Air Force Base,
Roswell, NM for 1949-1950. They said we would need to look
throuqh this for any records.
