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 40
A: That's really saying did we have aircraft on it or not,
and what percentage. Here the B-17 was on it for 40 percent of
the time. Indeed, that was the aircraft tracking for the Mogul
operation.
Q: That was for the electronic data gathering.
A: That's correct.
Q: Not observing the balloon to tell you where it went
down.
A: That's right. Well, we did have the aircraft stay as
long as we could. As long as we could end up with that very
expensive aircraft chasing an air balloon, we were happy. On the
flight that came down east of Roswell on one of these, Flight 5
or so on came down east of Roswell, the aircraft spotted it on
the ground for us and told us where to go to look for it.
Q: About 17 miles east of Roswell.
A: Then we had another one, Flight 11 •••
Q: That's the one that appears to come down northwest of
Roswell.
A: Correct.
Q: It appears to have almost come down exactly where
they're talking about.
A: That's right.
Q: That's the one where you provided a depiction to
Colonel Weaver.
Q: No, that's another one.
Q: That's an earlier one, that's right.
A: Where is that old NYU report? (Pause)
Here it is right here. More or less due west of
Walker, Roswell Army Air Field.
Q: Then this graphic conflicts with this graphic, which
shows Number 11 coming down... Is that circle the Roswell
reporting station?
A: That's about right.
Q: Is this .circle a weather reporting station which would
be Roswell?
