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.

E. Meteorological Analysis
As one phase of this project, New York University agreed to prepare
analyses of winds and temperatures in the troposphere for dates and
localaties specified by Watson Laboratories.
The vertical distribution of temperature from the ground up to
heights of about 1.5 km at the time of any particular experiment
was estimated from the routine radiosonde ascents which were
nearest in respect to both time and space, to the site of the
experiment. If the time of the experiment was within three hours
of one of the twice-daily, standard hours of radiosonde observa-
tion, the :temperature distrib•1tion given by such observation was
assumed to have existed (within the limits of error in the method
of measurement) at the time of the experiment. If the time differ-
ence waR greater than three hours, a linear interpolation was made
between radiosonde observations preceding and following the time
of the experiment. Interpolation in space was accomplished
Qrdinarily by assuming a linear horizontal variation of temperature.
