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.

must be compensated for by decreasing the load on the system
to prevent descent to the ground.
This decreqse of load is carried out by dropping liquid ballast
as demanded by a prsssure activated ballast control switch.
This switch completes a circuit through a relay operated
ballast valve whenever the balloon system descends to a region
of pressure greater than that of its selected floating altitude.
Ballast is thus dropped and the system returned to floating
altitude.
On ~ghts made on another project since the termination of the
development phase of this project, the ballast control system
was standardized to include a pressure displacement switch and
an electrically operated ballast valve. The displacement switch
{Fig. 1) consists of a standard temperature compensated
aneroid cell and pen arm from a, radiosonde modulator
