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.

B-17 CR~ 1st Lieutenant Or.en B. Dubell 1st Lieutenant Thomas F. Carroll 1st Lieutenant John Mertzen Sergeant W. R. Rice Pilot Co-Pilot Navigator Engineer Time notification sigi)als were required and provided in order to afford sufficient time to make necessary launching preparations, and to position the balloons just a few minutes prior tc the predetermined arrival of the explo- sion sound wave. Headquarters FITZ\nlliArA FCRI1ARD furnished ARPACAS 3-1 and 3-2 bJ' officer courier. The team experienced no difficulty in obt3ining the time signals. Reports required of the team were a brief statement as tc positive or negative results of the tests, and notification of team moveme:1t to it's several locations. Reports of results were made to He~dquarters FITZif.ILLlAM FORWARD and to .Afl~Sf'i-1. Results of the ~YAJALEIN test were as follows: balloon-borne equipment results were positive and ground equipment results were questionable. An accurate final analysis and evaluation report ~ill be submitted upon Dr. Crary's return to Viatson Laboratories, including an accurate determinatior. of results. Due to time limitation and pending a thorough evaluation of results, the following recom~endations, of necessity, should be c~nsidered tentat~~e: 1. Before departing for field locations, a survey should be ~ade to determine the best balloon launching sites, giving due consideration to shelter from high velocity and gusty winds, and sufficient clear space to lay-out shroud lines and control cables thus affording clear passage at the instruments which are suspended about one hundred (100) feet below the balloon. 2. That an SCR 658, radiosonde receiver be included in the team equip. ment list. For these tests, a receiver had to be borrowed from the air weather station at each location. This presented a problem because each sta- tion had only one (1) receiver and it was needed by the station personnel for 11pper air sounding operations. This necessitated selecting the best possible launching si to adjacent to the weather str ,,~.on. Also, this precluded selection of' a ~ite T-ithout a weather station. -J-
