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.

COL TRAKOWSKI - 6/29/94 4 A: He just said it sure looks like some of the stuff you've been launching at Alamagordo, and he described it, and I said yes, I think it is. Certainly Colonel Duffy knew enough about radar targets, radiosondes, and balloon-borne weather devices. He was intimately familiar with all that apparatus. Q: What was his position at Wright Field? A: He was on the staff of General Tom Rives who was Director of the Electronic Subdivision of the Air Materiel Command, and under whose purview the Watson Laboratories was run. Q: Why did they bring this debris to Colonel Duffy? Why didn't they bring it to someone else? A: Probably because of questions about who knows about this project put to people at Alamagordo. I'm not sure. I can't answer that with any firm knowledge at all. Q: So you had no idea there was an "incident" until Colonel Duffy called you, and you were back in Massachusetts at this time? A: At that time we were at Eatontown, New Jersey. But what you said is correct. I had no knowledge of the so-called "incident" until Colonel Duffy called me. Q: Do you recall what day you actually departed Alamagordo? A: No. No, I don't. I have a full file of my TDY orders upstairs. Right offhand I can't tell you, but I was back in Watson Laboratories for several days before Colonel Duffy called me. Q: Do you recall there being a Major Pritchard on-site? A: I remember the name, yes. Q: Did he work for you at Watson Laboratories? A: No. He didn't work for me. I don't recall him working for me. I only had one major working for me, and I was a captain. He was a dull fellow ... Right offhand I can't remember. Q: You were the Chief of the Applied Propagation Subdivision. A: Yes. Q: I've seen the organizational chart, the way those things go ... A: I was. Q: You were at the top, and then down below, as a technical adviser, below your name on the chart, is Major Pritchard.
