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 47 flying saucers. I did get a letter back from Ro to the response that he had not been, as far as she knew, he had not been involved in any classified identification of something. That had occurred to me that things could have gone on that I had no need to know. I tried to extract that. Q: So you had no recollection or strong recollection of him, when you got back to New Jersey, discussing it. It caused a lot of fuss.

Q: so you believe that someone was privy to your activities .•• A: Trakowski was there. I had forgotten, but he reminded me that he had gone on the C-54 to pick up the helium at Amarillo. I asked Trakowski had he been involved in manufacturing a cover story. He kept saying how important Mogul was, how highly classified it was, and how he was really wheeling and dealing. He apparently went down to Fort Bliss, to the commanding general there -- I guess he was a captain at the time -- and had no trouble talking the general into releasing something like maybe several hundred 500 pound bombs for this. At the same time, Trakowski has no memory of a coverup. Q: He didn't have participation. A: Whether he was on that C-54 that had 23 people on it or not, I don't know. Crary's list of the people left, there was only one military type, a Lieutenant Thompson, in what you have here. Q: Who did you report to? A: Peoples.
