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.

The second undesirable feature of the automatic ballast valve
system is the lag induced by the use of a minimum pressure
switch to seal off the aneroid capsule. This is in addition
to the lag of the aneroid itself. If a mercury ~itch is used,
the differential between minimum and seal-off pressure is about
8 millibars; with a less dense liquid, the operation will still
require about a 2-millibar difference. If the sealing is done
by a fixed pressure switc~ it is then necessary to predict the
altitude to which the balloon will rise. Failure to reach
this height would leave the aneroid open and useless. Deliberate
under-estimation of the ceiling causes a relatively lo:rg period
of uncontrolled slow descent before control begins.
The third unwanted feature is the waste of ballast "Which flows
during both descent and ascent of a balloon whenever it is
below the seal-off elevation. Since the balloon is no longer
"heavy" when its downward motion has been arrested, flow
