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.

MC: Nice, nice man.
SC: He is a nice man. And a nice family. I don't know what the date on that is. Letter from
Doyle, it says: "When you call the press conference to tell the world, let me know, because I want
to be there." So, I just got reams of this stuff from books.
RW: Do you mind if I look through that real quick?
SC: Oh, heavens no. I got it (Unintelligible)
RW: Stanton T. Freidman?
SC: Freidman or whatever.
RW: Yeah, he doesn't like me a lot. He writes me nasty letters.
SC: He called me a couple of times. I could hear him a little bit, but it wasn't good enough for
me to try to strain my brain. He apologized a little later. He wrote me back and said sorry we
had a bad telephone coMection. On your end!
RW: O.K. Here is the stuff about Schiff that I referenced earlier. Asking the GAO to look at
this. Karl pt}ock...

know what rm going to do with it.
MC: Oh, your sons want it.
SC: Oh, I don't know.
MC: Oh, yes they do. Joey said last night maybe Dad could make a fortune out of being a hero.
SC: WeD, ifi wanted to make a little money I could have imagined a lot of things and cooperated
more.
MC: Well, that's what Doyle said.
SC: With these authors and so forth I could be given royalties for a long time.
RW: Oh, this wu out of the Global Reliance. I don't remember seeing this in there. Oh, Kart
