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.

PROFESSOR MOORE - 6/8/94 Q: No. A: He worked for a Tracer lab and is just bringing out a book on the early detection system. Q: That was Project Center. MX-968. 24 A: There was another one that followed on this to measure krypton. It was called Grab Bag in our lexicon. Q: Did you ever hear of the project Bequeath? A: No. Being a civilian and outside, I was more knowledgeable, essentially, of the intent and what was required rather than the project names. Q: What type of clearance did you hold? A: At various times I had Top Secret and Q and I don't remember exactly when I got various clearances. I also had a clearance with the CIA. Q: So at this time in New York University you were cleared but you had no need to know. A: I knew exactly what we were doing. I knew about Helgoland. I knew, just being an atmospheric physicist, I knew about the sound duct channel and I knew what we were doing, but I just didn't know any of the operational details and I wasn't concerned with them. Q: From a security standpoint, did anyone ever discuss with you, other than the letter that I showed you stating that this is now unclassified, did anyone ever tell you never to discuss any of this with anyone? A: I can't say they did. Q: It was just a matter of enforcing the need to know what classified project ... A: I guess I was aware this was highly classified, and having been in the military was aware this wasn't something to be discussed lightly. But no, I can't say that .•• Q: The reason I ask the question is there are some statements made in the various publications and books -- the popular press, about people being threatened not to talk about things they had seen or that sort of thing. I just wanted to see if there had been anything stated to you never to discuss any of the activities either related to this project or any other project.
