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.

(Type E preferred) J a rotating commutator ot two segments,
an insulator and a conductor; a six volt 1 rpm motor; and
a shelf' tor the pen arm. In calibration, the aneroid cell is
moved across the base by means or a screw which allows selec-
tion of' various altitudes for control.
Initially tbe pen arm rides on the shelf' during ascent so
that the circuit to the valve remains open until the balloon
approaches floating altitude. Several thousand feet before
ascent is completed the pen arm falls ott the shelf' closing
the ballast circuit (Fig. 2) and causing ballast now during
the final period of ascent. When the balloon reaches control
