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.

Maj. Gen. Clements McMullen, Deputy Chief of Staff, Strategic Air
Command, 1947. General McMullen is alleged to have directed General
Ramey to cover up the recovery of an extraterrestrial craft and crew. After
an extensive search, the "Command Correspondence" file for the period
was located. This file contained privileged and classified information of the
highest order between McMullen and Ramey- it contained no information
to support the outrageous claim.
