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.

At any two positions:
L 1 = v. (d0 1 - dg. )
L2 • V (d02 - dg2 )
Investigating the gain of superheat, since there is no change of
volume V1 =V2 and:
Assume now that the balloon carries no internal pressure and that
the difference in lift does not cause the balloon system to pass
through any appreciable atmospheric pressure difference (in the
case where the balloon is floating at 40,000 ft. MSL a change of
1000 ft~. would be only 9 mb, or a 5% change).
Therefore:
Assume also that initially the air and lifting gas are at the
same te~perature and that the air passes through no appreciable
temperature change. Then:
Ta, = Ta a= Tgs =li
Then, making use of our two assumptions and substituting equation
(2) into equation (4), we have:
