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.

In this study four flights were made to study conditiona
at altit11des of 45,000 and 6o,ooo f't. A clock timer
was set to cause release or ballast after the B,ystem
had :floated at the lower level for one hour. After
ballast was expended the timer caused release of the
ballast tank to further reduce the load on the systems •
A typical flight of this series is shown as Fig. 15.
Further detailc on this stud1 pave been given in reports
on "Neutron Intensity Study"~5J by this Research Division.
