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.

Figure 20. Physical layout, flight-similitude system.
This equipment has been used in testing instruments to be flown
and also equipment which is used in the launching and preparation
before release. For example, the Du Pont S64 squibs, which have
been used in conjunction with the flight-termination switches and
also for severing launching lines, were tested in. this chamber and
found to fail when subjected simultaneously to cold temperature
(-sooc) and low pressures (10 millibars) although tests at either
low temperature or low pressures alone produced no failures. As a
result of these tests, a new squib, the S59, has been produced
by Du Pont and is used in current flights. Other equipment
which has been tested in the bell jar and the cold chamber includes
the Lange barographs and the Olland-cycle pressure-measuring in-
struments.
