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.

Project MOGUL Field
Operations Director Al-
bert P. Crary main-
tained a journal of his
professional activities
including Project Mo-
GUL research in the
summer of 1947. Por-
tions of his journal pro-
vided details necessary
to reconstruct events not
available from published
MOGUL reports (see App
17). In addition to his
work for the Air Force,
this world-enowned sci-
entist is credited with
significant contributions
to the study of Polar
regions; a research cen-
ter at McMurdo Station,
Antarctica was recently
named in his honor.
