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.

tb• amplitude and frequency ot oscillations induced by the servo
system. In fact, under the influence of both controls, oscillation
is almost undetectable.
As a consequence of such tests, it is possible to predict the type,
size and frequency of oscillations which the servo-control equip-
ment will introduce into the balloon flight. This is especially
significant since it is known from flights on which no control equip-
ment was included that oscillations do occur naturally within the
atmosphere, apparently as a result of vertical cellular convection
currents. By knowledge of the frequency of oscillation caused by
a given control system it is possible to analyze oscillation.s and de-
termine which are caused by control and which are atmospheric. The
wiring diagram of the flight-similitude 11ystem is .shown in Figure 19.
