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.

SC: Well, some of these authors, Mary, you got to remember, they will skip from the Roswell
incident to something that happened someplace else in the United States and they get a little
confusing. You just read through it. I remember something about some hieroglyphics, not on
that one. I didn't see anything. I do not remember any writing at all on the thing. But if Marcel
saw something, maybe he did.
RW: Did you know Haut, Lt. Haut? The public affairs guy at the time?
SC: Just vaguely. What was he, base information, or something of that sort?
RW: Yes.
SC: Not close at all. As a matter of fact I couldn't even describe him. I got a picture with a tall
fellow and I didn't know much about him, at all.
RW: Is there anything else that you can recall or like to add?
SC: I have been thinking about it ever since you called. and said you were coming out.
MC: It is a shame that Don Yeager was in the office with Jess.
SC: Yeah. Is he dead now?
MC: I don't know.
SC: But he won't know a thing, Mary. He wouldn't know a thing.
MC: He wouldn't have known anything with Jesse?
SC: No. No. Jesse didn't trust Don very much. I wouldn't want (unintelligable). He was trying
to keep up, but couldn't. He just wun't a reliable sort of individual.
MC: So Jess probably wouldn't have...
SC: No. No. I don't even think he even talked to Don about it. There was another Captain in
the Intelligence office at the time who I always thought was a very sharp individual, his name I
don't remember his first name... Carl was his first name, Macamer. He ended up as a fuD Colonel.
MC: Now we gave RandaD their names. We gave them everything we could think of.
SC: Yeah. Carl misht be dead now. I always thought he wu a pretty smart individual.
MC: Carl was the last we knew.
